      "intent" is a form of IPC in android. One thing I wanted when I played with android was an "intent" bridge to do debugging and functional testing, I was going to do this via RabbitMQ but sort of lost interest in Android. Maybe you should add this to your plans as it might help you make the product more "production quality" easier.

      I'm running through http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html - nice to see a "hello world" on my phone, even if it did require almost no effort to create ;-)

      OpenJDK seems to work fine, BTW, I didn't bother with the Oracle one, and I'm using Android Studio rather than Eclipse.

    Advent of Code: The Diaries by amanzini

    Description

    It was the Night Before Compile Time ...

    Hackweek 25 (December 1-5) perfectly coincides with the first five days of Advent of Code 2025. This project will leverage this overlap to participate in the event in real-time.

    To add a layer of challenge and exploration (in the true spirit of Hackweek), the puzzles will be solved using a non-mainstream, modern language like D, Crystal, Gleam or Zig.

    The primary project intent is not just simply to solve the puzzles, but to exercise result sharing and documentation. I'd create a public-facing repository documenting the process. This involves treating each day's puzzle as a mini-project: solving it, then documenting the solution with detailed write-ups, analysis of the language's performance and ergonomics, and visualizations.
