I'm remaking an old MMORPG Canaan Online to be fully native web client, learn a lot like reverse engineering the client server protocol, a bit of network programming, and how to render that sweet nostalgic 2D sprite with WebGL. Currently had somewhat playable server and the client going, got lot of help from AI to learn the domain I quite not understand.

is he still use that office? I thought he mostly spent his time in his home office

I'd like to know too

Thank you for posting, this is game changer, I have quite an old phone and this keyboard help me use it less unbearable

Can't say much about culture shocks, Indonesian myself, but from my european friend who live in Jakarta for almost a year now said "people just late everywhere"

I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. My monthly living expenses (adjusted from IDR to USD on current rate)

1. Apartment rent, 6 months contract at $1300 + $200 deposit, pay upfront, thus $250 monthly. It is a small apartment 1 common area, 2 tiny bedroom, and tiny balcony

2. Utilities, varying from $30 to $50, mine has 2 AC running almost 24/7, a PC with average 200 to 300 watt power draw, and 5 led light bulbs

3. Meals, 3 times a day for 1 person, $20 daily or $600 monthly (this amount considered fancy meal, you can get way cheaper meals like $2/each, way cheaper if you cook)

4. Internet, up to 100 mbps, $35 monthly. Internet quality like speed and stability will depend on area

5. Phone data, $7 monthly

6. Cigarette, I'm a heavy smoker (almost 2 packs a day), $4 daily thus $120 monthly

In total: ~$1050 I don't count for entertainment, transportation (people mostly use Gojek or Grab), subscription

Experience living in Jakarta from native perspective.

- Language barrier, most people can talk in English, although not that fluent, hand gestures give you more power than talk

- Poor pedestrian side road, if you like to walk

- City full of concretes, green park almost non existent

- Bad air quality

- Noisy if your resident near big road or high way

- Covid-19 related situation, Jakarta not the worse but people here tend to not care about this

Alternative to Jakarta, I would recommend.

- Bandung, cheaper living cost, small city, good air quality on most part, had lived there for 2 years

- Bali, foreigner friendly, especially Ubud area for extra nature scenery, I don't recommend Denpasar

Let me know if you have any question (email on my profile), as a fellow game dev I admire your dedication

Know any merchant who sells Dylos DC1700? I'm in Jakarta too, kinda hard to find these kind of hardware

Is there a place where I can get information about the MERV rating of certain HEPA filter products?

Is it good to redirect to https when user hit API with http? I have heard somewhere doing so is bad

Purely curious, what if that happen? 100% proprietary, will it do damage to any alternative language that use JVM?
