Enabling devs to do development work on their local machines with Keycloak in the stack is... fun /s.

Wait, are you suggesting developers are not interchangeable cogs?

> The fork is called "TimeFold", most development happens there now. Thanks. Last time I used optaplanner was several years ago on an aerospace project - if I need a constraint solver again I'll definitely look at TimeFol

Wife and I were broke college students when we got married. Reception consisted of cake and refreshments (no meal) in the basement of the church after the ceremony -- no assigned seating. Then a few nights in a local (though pretty nice)

I'm wondering if a constraint solving library like optaplanner could help here - believe it uses simulated annealing. Hey, maybe a use case for Dwave? j/k.

I've found plain 'ol saline nasal spray works well enough... and, a hot toddy helps clear the sinuses.

I didn't have to fight with (or even know about) things like IRQ jumpers and Expanded memory management on the Amiga. That was kinda nice :/ Sure, the PC had superior graphics and sound by the 486 era, but it was not a pleasant

As a kid, I remember upgrading from the Apple ][ to the Amiga 500. The Amiga was a superior machine in every way. I could do more with Amos than I ever could with Integer BASIC :) Moving from an Amiga 1200 to a 486SX with Windows 3.1 afte

I wouldn't mind (optional) bigger maps (particularly Earth), to be honest :)

FreeCiv is missing the advisor videos :)

by jcadam 3y ago
I'd like to see a modern refresh of Civ2, which IMO is still the best in the series. Just update the graphics/sound/UI and leave the rest as-is.

I don't think I've ever upgraded my phone while the previous one was still operable :) That said, Apple is pretty good about making sure their phones fail on a predictable timeline (2 years? Oh, time for the battery to stop retain

Nah, we'll get our SS checks - the Fed will turn the money printer up to 11 if they have to cover the program. Inflation will make them worthless, but we'll get our checks :)

I'm sure the military still has a SSN field on EVERY. SINGLE. FORM. they have you fill out while you're in the service. There was talk of replacing that with a "service number" but somehow I doubt they've got aroun

No idea. I use IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin and emacs for everything else (Clojure, Python, JS, etc). I still encounter the occasional lunatic who uses eclipse or netbeans. I know VSCode is the "standard" editor for front-end d

> I don't see any value in Kotlin outside Android shops. Developer experience is important to some people - not just devs, but those who seek to recruit and retain good ones. Of course, if you're looking to hire massive numbers

Kotlin is the closest thing to a "better Java" that I've found. I've used it with Spring Boot and the interoperability with Java is fantastic. A Java dev would have no problem picking it up quickly (as opposed to Clojur

So, we may need to add a "Not for use in the European Union" clause to open source licenses?

I don't know. I was born in 1980 and first got into programming as a young kid on an 8-bit Apple ][, and basically kept tinkering and coding through successive generations of computers as they became available. No stackoverflow or on
