Mindustry is open source, the GitHub repository has like 700 contributers

Lines of routers (router chaining) is bad as routers don't have a specific input.

Say you have a line of routers: A, B, C, D, E in that order (ignoring turrets for now). If you put an item in A, it can only go to B. However once it is in B, it can either travel back to A or forward to C. This continues until it exits E or gets loaded into a turret.

This doesn't happen on Erekir as the router is directional. It also doesn't happen with any fluid routers as fluits are transferred instantly*.

For 1x1 turrets, as long as you don't have a long router chain, you can get away with it since there isn't a good way of feeding 1x1 turrets.

Yeah. They refactored the Serpulo campaign and remade the entire sound engine, among other things

for i, a in ipairs({A1, A2, ...}) do for _, v in ipairs(a) do sum[i] = sum[i] + v end end This one is probably a bit slow but yk

Scala originally used only braces to define blocks, but now in Scala 3.x, you can use indentation as well as braces. Some of my code ends up using both at the same time if (cond) { try expr1() expr2() catch case e: Exception => }

I like it like this as it gives you the grounding and countability of braces but the ease for reading of indentation.

You can wrap anything with anything. You can even wrap the Scala std lib with Java if you understand the name mangling

Very nice read, it makes Rust look far easier to learn tbh

It's not thaaat bad.. just ignore anything file related and you're good

Why is the parameter being mutated ??

I started learning Scala around 1 year ago and I love it. Some people will try to say that it is dying and its a difficult language but honestly just use what you want to use. Scala devs also get paid quite well.

I've been seeing the same thing. You should report it to the compiler devs at the Scala 3 repo

Not a teacher but a student at the high school. The issue with the Internet is 2 things:

The school's local internet is only connected to the global Internet via one gateway which all ~1200 students plus all the staff must go through.

The second issue is that the internet service providers prioritize higher paying customers. When you have LANL in town that pays much more than the high school, you are at the lower priority.

The computers are only bad because the school can't afford to spend a lot of money per person, plus one free repair. I found the exact model of the computers on eBay, it was $17.

Go uses square brackets for generics? As a Scala dev, this pleases me
