struggling to recreate urban heat islands in netlogo

Summary This postmortem analyzes a failed attempt to model urban heat islands in NetLogo. The user aimed to simulate thermal buffering—where urban structures absorb more heat during the day and release it slowly at night—but the implementation resulted in unstable oscillations and unrealistic temperature spikes. The root cause was thermodynamic incoherence: the model ignored mass, … Read more

CustomValueComparator for Object.class not used for Map values

Summary The issue is a type resolution mismatch in JaVers. While a CustomValueComparator for Object.class is registered, JaVers internally uses generic type arguments (Map<String, Object>) to select comparators. It treats Object as a container type (specifically Map/Collection) rather than a value type, bypassing the custom comparator when comparing map values. This results in standard Object.equals() … Read more
