The "art of programming" might feel like it's crumbling, yet I'm still trying to keep up with software engineering developments. I'm now almost a year into learning event sourcing. It's satisfying to be able to write clean code even for legacy codebases. Sample con raffle feature—real world Python!
![Screenshot of Python source code:
```
from datetime import datetime
from sqlalchemy import ForeignKey
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column, relationship
from database import Model
from reg.models import Event, Registration, db
from reg.villa_raffle.query import is_registration_entered_for_villa_raffle
from reg.villa_raffle.end import VillaRaffleEnded
from reg.villa_raffle.start import VillaRaffleStarted
from user.models import User
from furryest.utils import Failure
class VillaRaffleEntered(Model):
event_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey(Event.id), nullable=False)
registration_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey(Registration.id), nullable=False)
entered_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(nullable=False, defalt=datetime.now)
event: Mapped[Event] = relationship()
registration: Mapped[Registration] = relationship()
def enter_villa_raffle(user: User, registration: Registration, event: Event) -> VillaRaffleEntered | Failure:
if not db.session.query(VillaRaffleStarted).filter_by(event_id=event.id).first():
return Failure("Villa raffle has not been started for this event.")
elif db.session.query(VillaRaffleEnded).filter_by(event_id=event.id).first():
return Failure("Villa raffle has already ended for this event.")
elif registration.event_id != event.id:
return Failure("Registration does not belong to the given event.")
elif registration.user_id != user.id:
return Failure("Registration does not belong to the given user.")
elif is_registration_entered_for_villa_raffle(registration=registration, event=event):
return Failure("This registration has already entered the villa raffle.")
villa_raffle_entered = VillaRaffleEntered(
event_id=event.id,
registration_id=registration.id
)
villa_raffle_entered.save()
return villa_raffle_entered

That's right! But they were familiar with other Unix systems. The Pokémon Center PC may have been modeled after a particular experience of using a different machine.

The PC in every Pokémon Center allows you to connect to Bill's and Prof. Oak's computers over the network, just like a workstation connected to the Internet in the early days. The source code to Pokémon Red (1996) implies we are using System V UNIX.
Similarly, it's rather common to distribute ROM hacks as patches, but my unpopular take is that it still clearly constitutes a derivative work and is not permitted by strict interpretation of copyright law...
It even crossed cultural borders back then. The Czech website where I got my Pokémon ROMs had it, and I recently saw it on a Chinese ROM site from 2000: web.archive.org/web/20000516...
Thanks for sharing these! For anybody studying these, ROM sites would be difficult to identify even in archives if you "weren't there" so this is a good starting point for research.
With age verification, we talk more about privacy and surveillance concerns, and some of us don't remember what it's like to be a minor, but that quote summarizes the other side of the coin. Personally I'm concerned about how sheltering children will make bad childhoods even worse.
History needs to be a team effort. Formal and polite corrections on each other's work should be normalized for the benefit of us all ^v^
The vibes (animations, music, sfx) remind me of Clubhouse Games (DS, also known as 42 All Time Classics). Same developer possibly?
In Keitai Denjuu Telefang, the currency in the Denjuu world is called chiru. We always thought it's because of how it scatters from the grass when you run through it. Guess there isn't much more to it still.
I think they're buying and selling characters, not sonas xD seems some people just enjoy having a ton of them and coming up with different personalities and stories for them, though I lack the imagination. I also think buying adoptables is often more a proxy for supporting the artist than anything
