In case you missed it, the question was: > Is the rationale for switching away from GLFW documented anywhere? "Not that I know" is a perfectly good answer. Don't spew ChatGPT slop at me.

Is that why they are doing this? Did your little chat bit tell you anything about Mojang's stated rationale, which is what I asked about? Also, GLFW reports both the scan code and the key code, just like SDL, so I'm not sure I rea

SDL2 and SDL3 both have hardware accelerated 2D renderers, appropriately called SDL_Renderer. You can tell SDL to upload pixel buffers to GPU textures and tell SDL to draw those textures on the screen with various transformations and color

Are they going to do that? If not, that's not the reason they're doing this either

by mort96 3mo ago
I'm aware of those things, but are those the reasons ? Are they actually planning on moving away from their existing audio, networking and threading solutions and switch it out for SDL's implementations? Are they planning on port

Don't most games ship their own build of SDL?

Is the rationale for switching away from GLFW documented anywhere? I'd love to read about it, I have some projects which use GLFW myself and I'm always wondering whether or not SDL would be better

Delay a release? Sure. But delay a snapshot? Why? By releasing the snapshot in this state, they learn both 1) how big of a problem those known issues are (how often does entering exclusive fullscreen crash the game on Windows? They presumab

There still are worthwhile questions to answer! People just don't ask them on SO because SO chased away everyone who wanted to ask questions, long before ChatGPT.

Answers from 2013 likely no longer reflect the currently accepted ways to do things, even for technologies which existed in 2013 and earlier. What you describe is a problem they created on their own with their ridiculous duplicates policy w

A Q&A site where the community asks questions and the community answers them. That doesn't work without a community.

Only the new Reddit, old.reddit.com still works for that too. Though I'm not sure how long that'll last. I would be surprised if old.reddit.com is still functional in a couple of years. When it gets removed, or when it bit rots to

Yeah, SO's downfall started looong ago. The community was frankly horribly managed, and its strict "no remotely duplicate-esque questions ever" policy meant that answers to common questions just got more and more outdated as

And your scripts for rare tasks you haven't gotten around to making a GUI for also go through that queue? And your manual interactions with the database to fix problems? Or do you just risk crashing the program when you do those things

I kinda want less things on my home screen. It used to be that the only thing you could do on the home screen was slide to unlock, and that made accidental input a non-issue. These days, I sometimes find my phone in some weird state due to

Ugh I can't edit now but just noticed I should've said I looked at the size of wasmtime, not "the size of wasm".

I have: SQLite is great, it does everything I need, it would've been even better if it had better defaults or this edition system. In lieu of that, I will just keep setting these 4 pragmas and add strict to my tables.
201.
by mort96 3mo ago
No, I actually like SQLite with the settings tweaked a tiny bit. Disagreement with the defaults isn't enough to make me switch databases completely
202.
by mort96 3mo ago
The issue then is that instead of just bundling a tiny 1MB sqlite library with your program, you have to bundle a huge WASM runtime. I looked at the size of wasm on my system just to get an idea and it's 46MB; that's huge . For c

I never encounter things which need CMake <3.5 features. I constantly encounter things which declare their "minimum supported version" to be below 3.5. Which makes a lot of sense for those projects! They can be built with CMa

Like you want me to ship postgres with my app? I mean sure I could, but that seems very over complicated when sqlite works just fine except for some unfortunate defaults

I scarcely go a week without encountering issues caused by their huge CMake 4 backward compatibility break. I think CMake has one of the worst solutions out there.

The answer to the question "What happens when you import a file from edition (Y)" should, ideally, be exactly the same as the answer to the question "What happens when you import a file created with parameters foo, bar and ba

Well you'd have the problem that an sqlite database file created on a Linux AMD64 box could be copied to an AArch64 macOS machine to be read there. And quite a lot of (cross platform) software build their file formats on top of SQLite.
