Big Kotlin fan.

Similar reasons to the commenter that talked about using a world class runtime, but the JVM is tested and works.

And now I can use Kotlin to make cross platform applications, while still utilizing the Java knowledge that I unfortunately possess? Perfect!

It’s been really fun but I hit a wall where I realized I wanted all the mods and assets from CS 1 to continue my building.

Not having central transit hubs or multi directional subways feels so limiting.

Yo knees over toes guy slaps, I’m a huge fan and have been since the pandemic.

I definitely fell victim to the marketing but goddamn if his workouts haven’t helped my knee pain!

I’ve been using ktor in a personal project and it’s been a joy; all the familiarity of Spring but with Kotlin first.

Also, I know that Amazon has started to switch some projects to Kotlin, since they’re such a large Java shop: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/adopting-kotlin-at-prime-video-for-higher-developer-satisfaction-and-less-code/

I read this as “Ottawa sees 50-75 min of rain in 90 minutes” and thought it was an onion article

That’s awful, I’m sorry you had that experience— no one deserves to be harassed.

I’m interested in understanding your attitude about fitness and the female gaze if you’re willing to discuss it. Does the attention still upset you? Do you find that members of all genders treated you differently, or just woman?

It’s kinda funny; everywhere I saw this posted had the same initial comments, “what about OSM?” Which I think is natural and good skepticism.

Hopefully, they keep true to their word instead of creating the same problem.

So they actually are contributing / complementing OSM:

Overture is a data-centric map project, not a community of individual map editors. Therefore, Overture is intended to be complementary to OSM. We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets. Overture data will be available for use by the OpenStreetMap community under compatible open data licenses. Overture members are encouraged to contribute to OSM directly.

From the FAQs on their site.

Super cool, there should be more competition between Map providers like Apple/Google/OpenStreetMaps.

Why couldn’t this project have just been things being added to OSM?
