I think it was better and easier to set up a DIB, treat it as a double buffer of sorts and only use GDI to BitBlt it to screen. Don't ask me how you do that, though it probably would not take me too much to page that stuff back into my

IIRC WinG was basically a way to set up a GDI device context that corresponded to a frame buffer, so you could take your DOS SuperVGA code and run it under Windows, only redoing sound and input. It's been almost 30 years though. :)

The article I linked explains that you can still get opioids during recovery in the hospital in other countries, it's only once you're discharged that they're a lot more careful. There must be something intermediate between &

It's worth noting is that at the time the EPA's position was _in favor_ of Chevron, while the agencies right now tend to be a lot less corporation-friendly (hence the need to overturn the precedent, some say). Also worth noting is

Most countries do without them now and have always done without them except in special cases such as palliative cures. You get opioids during recovery in the hospital, but not once you're discharged. You might get codeine rarely, but t

Seems pretty interesting and pizza-ish (unlike Chicago pizza which is only interesting). Yeah, I would call it focaccia al pomodoro perhaps. But if you consider that New York-style pizza is commonly sold by bakeries in Italy, and it's

The guy is known in Italy for being very clickbait-y. What he says is usually okay but a bit exaggerated, but in the case of pizza he is wrong. This is a discussion between him and another guy -> https://angeloforgione.com&#

Pizza delivery has been available in Italy since the 90s at least. Not as common as it is now, with every restaurant offering it, but it definitely existed even in small towns.

Does that count as "going nuclear"? Four have been built, and as of now they've all been decommissioned.

The ESP32 has nothing to do with a Raspberry Pi. It's only good that people learnt to use the better tool (in terms of price and power consumption) once better tools like MicroPython or NodeMCU came around.

It's literally a difference of coordinates , not an intersection. Take all pairs of points in the (filled) polygons A and B, subtract their coordinates, and include the difference in A-B. If there is an intersection, there is at least

Why? It is only mandatory for companies and self-employed professionals. Most Italians don't have a registered email address.

Yeah, it's easy to downplay it but a single sign on (not government-provided, only government-standardized) to do everything from tax returns to downloading your medical record is not at all a given in many other countries. Hoping that

We have both the best and the worst examples of bureaucracy. We were even the first country to have "registered email", in 2005. It's a set of server side protocols based on SMTP and MIME, that provide a legally-binding confi

So basically GtkDialog's utility boils down to gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons(). That's like five line of code saved per dialog box, or zero if you use Glade to build the UI. The big deal for GtkDialog used to be gtk_dialog_run(), wh

There is gtk_window_set_transient_for() and gtk_window_set_modal(), and GtkDialog is basically a synchronous wrapper for those two + a nested event loop. But nested event loops are very easy to get wrong, so my guess is that, these days, yo
