I added hot reloading of C++ gameplay code to my game :D

This is possible because "engine" code and "gameplay" code is split into different shared libraries. So when you hit F5, it compiles a new shared library for the gameplay code and loads the new one (as well as reloading all the assets etc).

Would be nice that C# compiler handled this case:

float f = 2.5;

I get the idea of protecting against precision loss. But why do you fail to compile for values that can be determined at compile time to not have precision loss?
It's no longer 2005, it's 2025 and changing this will only break the code that does not compile (like someones test suites might have such), which IMO is fine.

Every time I get into doing some code, I get sucked into refactoring another part of Inkscape's ancient past.

The problem is; I have an artists eye for code design and ugly, overly complex, under-tested and worse than all of those asymmetric code makes me all itchy.

Tonight's refactoring: No, version strings should not be parsed and saved by some weird third party function.

Plant Insect Bird practical formal ontology with Leonardo calculus

I revisit my #lispgames #gamejam #gamedev. In this article I create a formal ontology to be a vehicle for my concrete game redux of the jam (which had been lacklustre if technically interesting. Let's be technically interesting and have more lustre this time round.

Thoughts, commentary, ontological guidance gentle and stern if you will please.

Fire UX team in time, 2025 edition.

Using Android Studio (2024.2.2) after a while.
So I have "Run" button at the top and another one with just different color in sidebar. Both tooltip "Run", only differ in shortcut.
Difference?
First one runs the project. Second one opens the Run pane at the bottom, which happens to have yet another button to run the project.
You had good old school UI two years ago!

API docs as comments in comments in code look like a nice idea.
Until someone actually writes a comprehensive documentation in there: several paragraphs with code examples. When doc comments take most of the file and gets difficult to find the code, I'm no longer sure it's a good idea to have the two in the same place.

Qt’s New Bridging Technology - Looking Back to Move Forward https://www.qt.io/blog/about-the-new-qt-bridging-technology

«With the new bridging technology, Qt aims to provide not only a set of initial integrations for five pre-selected languages: C#, Kotlin/Java, Python, Rust, and Swift, but also to open and document a few private QML APIs to allow anyone to build additional language integrations in the future».
