@c_discussions Mentions inappropriate case sensitivity... perhaps in need of strncasecmp().

@mdhughes I've coded in many languages, from C, to Delphi, to Python or Java, and created a few games of my own over the years, and even wrote 6502 assembly code that shipped in a commercial cartridge. I can't say I ever blamed my development language or tools for my own lack of results though...

Sounds like you've maybe got issues, and I'm not sure any of them are related to Java.

@dzamie @vozercozer IMHO, it's okay to not be the most knowledgeable person in the room, as long as you're willing to learn from those who can teach you new things. There is always someone who knows more than you about anything. (It's rarely that you'll be the expert, unless you wrote the code, and even then code usually exists to fit a body of knowledge that it solves a problem within, and you still probably won't be the SME there either.) Practice should make competent before perfect.

@argv_minus_one It's not really what you need nor want, but are you aware of:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingUtilities.html#invokeAndWait-java.lang.Runnable-

It feels like the new Java Structured Concurrency needs its own version of something like Swing that would allow for waiting in virtual threads.

>What made Calc poor

My opinion is quite probably biased by the fact I found what I consider to be a serious bug in Calc that remains unfixed (or even unassigned) now going on a year. If you can't rely on it to calculate properly, it's basically useless as far as I am concerned.

@aram >open-source Skype

I think most of the codec IP went into other products, including Teams. Accordingly, they're not interested in publicly sharing any of that code.

@psaldorn I presume you're not working in Java, but if you were, there are ways to enable logging and/or change the logging level without actually removing the code. Even in C, you can achieve some of this with a clever use of defines. (I coded a bunch for an employer 3 decades ago, they're probably still in the code today.)

@courtney Yes, their site is indeed singularly unhelpful in coming to grips with why you would care about their existence. Following several links leads to a GitHub page that helpfully provides:

@mroach Boy are you gonna get a surprise once you time travel past 2009 😆

Okay, this seems pretty useful for anyone using a command line. It can go in Unix pipelines (or backquotes) and you can interactively invoke it if you set it up for that. It has an option for a file preview as well. It's going to take some retraining to get use to it, but I installed it first in a low memory RPi clone and it's working great in Armbian.

@floe Unless you're teaching game development, why make an app at all? Aren't most apps just light wrappers around some web interface anyway? Teach that instead?

@SnoopJ Writing a good [diagnostic] error message (predominantly those intended for development logs) is about asking yourself now what you'll wish you'd know then when it's months later and you've forgotten this code and how it works. It takes some practice/experience with the worst of them to know for the next time. It also means not being lazy when it feels easier to take the lazy route because you know future you will reap the benefit.

@mikahsargent Time to specialize in pastas that complement white sauce, or wine sauce (I donno that might be equally acidic?)

@geerlingguy Well I guess that's one way to "design" a UI. Can you possibly connect it to a special "dead" WiFi (i.e. not connected and/or strongly firewalled) or do they require some account or some such?

@AmenZwa If my memory serves, in some possible way, 6502 was typed, because some things could only be done in the A register, some only in the X and some in the Y. 🙃

@geerlingguy Yeah, no!! 😖

@mikahsargent Now I feel sad that I am not Mikah people... I shall try harder! :oof:

@desiato Please stop tagging Kotlin crap with a Java tag... just because they're on the same VM doesn't mean they're the same tools!

Also, have you not heard of Java records yet? Same thing, really.
