There are also some folks working on a similar project for Civilization 2. https://github.com/axx0/Civ2-clone

> It is almost 2026 and really only a matter of time before AI papers over all those little cracks it currently has, and truly delivers on the promise of vibe-coding. So the question now becomes, do you really want to learn that new language and become a newbie again at this late a stage?
AI-assisted coding - not full-blown vibecoding, but having an AI agent generate code under close direction, supervision, and review - allows me to work competently in a bigger set of languages/frameworks than ever before. In particular, in the last year I've written quite a bit of Typescript and Python without ever having learned those languages properly. They're both close enough to Ruby - a language I do know well - that I can read the code and understand what it does; or ask the AI questions when I see a language idiom I don't know.
Maybe, given enough time, I'll accidentally learn some new languages this way!

This isn't the end of production of all Blu-ray media, right? just consumer-writable Blu-rays?

Does a private tracker provide any meaningful security if I'm already encrypting the contents of the torrent?

I've done this with friends/family a couple times and wrote up a tutorial that I use as reference every couple months.
Has an optional step to password-protect the contents if you have any qualms with security-by-obscurity of using an unlisted torrent on a public tracker.

> in practice I found there's just too many debugPrint() lines cluttering the code
On this particular aspect - I find that log lines can do double-duty as code comments. When I see some comment that explains the what-and-why of a section of code - "// We also need to check the Foo state for consistency before committing Bar" - I might actually change it to a log line like - "Verifying state of Foo ${foo.id} before committing Bar ${bar.id}".

I'm an SDE at AWS. Many teams including mine are using Kotlin for backend dev.

The sustained overtones are only half the battle. Getting the attack correct (the sound profile of the first ~10 milliseconds) is really important for differentiating instruments. Plucking a guitar string and hammering a piano string have very different attack characteristics. A flute has a distinctively "breathy" attack.
Many synthesizers use a sampled recording of the actual instrument for the attack, then synthesize the sustained portion of the instrument.
