Static sites are great until you need to have a contact form or want to add basic comments. Yes, you can deploy javascript that uses external services to add such functionality to static sites- but with a basic WordPress site, you get ever

It uses Microui lib written by rxi. Checkout other single header only C libs written by rxi[0]. They're really elegant C in my view. [0] - https://github.com/rxi

Seriously asking this - How did it survive so far?

Err.. Why does one need to even use a different language to implement Arenas and Slices? Yes having syntax level support for them would indeed be nice (something like new languages like Odin and Zig are trying) but you can start using them

> Nah, just use Arenas/Pools. Or don't use heap at all. This will solve more than 90% of problems. I'll also add that replace C pointers with a "Fat Pointer" or Go-like slice struct and avoid the C stdlib. Then y

Everytime I have to use std::get<> and std::visit<> I feel like the committee has failed all of us.

That might be true but unless there is significant regulatory/policy overhaul what is currently happening is a systematic public funds transfer to Private Equity. If this continues - there won't be too many public libraries around

by rwbt 2y ago
At the risk of sounding out of touch - I think public libraries should get out of lending e-books altogether. Instead use that money to buy more paperbacks and physical books. It's never been easier to search for a book, place a hold o

Raylib is easy to get started but once the project gets a little complex it bites back. SDL on the other hand takes more time to setup everything but scales extremely well as the project gets bigger and bigger. Also, SDL is exceptionally we

How can we do the same in the US? I would love to take bicycle trips but that means having to share the lane with monster pickups and distracted SUV drivers.

I think gamers preferred NTSC (and 60Hz) but video/movie buffs adored PAL (higher resolution and 25fps being closer to film).

by rwbt 2y ago
Love the 'PAL' reference - just like how many in North America were pining for the PAL video standard (initially Europe but later entire world except North America) but we were stuck with NTSC (and doubled down).

Are they profitable though? From the contents of these posts and emails mentioned in the article, it looks like they aren't yet.

Didn't know about starting a T-shirt company using a 3rd of the money they raised. It's kinda bizarre. But I'm still hoping they become sustainable and make it. I like using it and really do get great value from it.

What version of OpenCL do Apple platforms support? Also, is OpenCL also deprecated like OpenGL on Apple?

That's unfair to Automattic I think. I think they're really good to maintaining the products with less relative harm. Yes, I know the recent change in terms to feed their data to AI (you can pay them to avoid it). I'm still h

Hunter gatherers had more leisure than farming peasants. Surely, one can spot the trend.

by rwbt 2y ago
I'm skeptical of this argument. It gave free time to some people i.e. the landed gentry but also created the toiling peasants and a hierarchical civilization.

Really? That's crazy. I imagine these are full service HOAs that take care of landscaping and provide other services?

Yes, we do kind of.

I think your first instinct is the correct one. But I don't buy the argument that these jobs are somehow empowering them. My criticism is towards the entitlement of shoppers who think self checkout is too clunky and having to interact

It is probably the most misunderstood poem of all time! There's no going back now though.

If the system did end up working as designed, wouldn't they get the shaft anyways?

There is a difference. In a typical grocery store, people only have to tally what you bought only once at the end during checkout. Where as in this "walk out" system someone has to follow you around "virtually" and keep

If you don't like going to the grocery store pay someone to go get them for you. Thousands of people remotely "following" you around and scanning things for you, just so that you can avoid using self checkout sounds ridiculou

I'm glad it's gone for good, if the process really works like how it's described in the article. Thousands of poor souls doing terrible pointless menial work just so that a few entitled customers can avoid the clunky self che

There's also Odin[0] too. I experimented them all and Odin is pretty nice. Nim is also good too but a lot more features. But - I concluded that language matters a lot less compared to APIs. Yes, the language should have enough good fea
