Sounds like they are developing win32 code. The resource id nonsense is very win32.

So yes: instant legacy code. Win32 is dead.

I’m getting Juicero vibes

Beyond All Reason is really interesting. There is a long history there! The engine was originally made to play Total Annihilation mods (or the full game? Not sure). That evolved over something like 15 years!

The end result though is not just a good open source game but a damn good RTS with an awesome scene. I <3 BAR.

Anyways, aside from fawning over BAR what’s my point?

Plan for the long game: these projects can take a long time to gain traction.

That does constrain the optimizations to a profile determined prior to the end user. Which is hopefully the same but might not be. Shared code between applications also is a challenge.

Scala 3 native. If the compiler was faster I’d be even happier. Curious to try Ada

Is ipfs usage growing? Stagnant? No idea… Diatributed serving of content seems great

Scala-js is becoming my go to scala backend. I did not know there was a wasm feature coming. Will try

Razor and Blade should be real

Absolutely does. Source: worked for Amazon.

Not Java specific but the jvm has facilities for doing hot reloading way better than other things.

Nah. Low value signal. Easy to game.

Check out the field of multi agent simulation. There is a variety of related software there.

There are also actor systems. That’s a low level model of computation. Seems like it would be suitable for building agent simulations. I’ve wanted to try that but no luck yet.

ChatGPT is great at tutoring python. Go as well. Not sure on the others.

I think it’s a combination of things. My experience definitely parallels yours: when developers have access to the bill they tend to realize the cost of the services they are using. Sometimes even resulting in optimizations to those costs.

At the same time AWS can get fucked with how horrible their bills are to understand. They don’t exactly go out of their way or even slightly on a good path to deliver a clear bill.

So even if the developers have access to the bills they might just end up with an impenetrable list of bullshit from AWS

“account being deleted, something that had never happened to Google Cloud before.”

10$ says this has happened before but to a tiny customer who couldn’t get google to care.

The real problem right here

That’s why I’m going for brain in a jar.

Look at this world. Look at the struggle, the mountains people climb, they think they climb. We have a tool which can help us with the drudgery. Unfortunately, blocked by a guy named Bob who has an MBA and swears that it should only cost $10 to make a web page.

Did you mean tax or tactical nuke? Either way
