We do have a fishing skiff but it’s currently half-baked. Hopefully they do some more work on it in the future 🙂
These are more like rocky planets with a gaseous atmosphere. They’re pretty weird. I guess you could say they’re more akin to Venus that Jupiter? Or a combination.
Cool! Remember browsing AliWeb’s list of links way back when. And looks like Dog Pile is still online! Sadly, it looks like a shadow of its former self. The top search terms include Black Friday which was way back in November 😛
Fun fact: Microsoft acquired the Sierra IP catalog when they purchased Activision a few years back so things have gone full circle 😛
Just ran the code base through cpplint. There’s some overlap but it does do a good job of picking up stuff that needs modernization whereas cppcheck mostly looks for potential problems.
Here’s the log: https://stearnvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/cpplint.zip
I tried to suppress the style warnings but wasn’t able to suppress the readability/braces warning. At some point, I may run the code base through astyle to help ensure that the style is consistent throughout. 🙂
For the updated directory structure, we can draw inspiration from GNOME: https://gitlab.gnome.org/explore
Their projects aren’t entirely consistent but they’re pretty good about following the best practices used in the open source community
GIMP’s in particular is worth a look: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp
Down the road, it may be a good idea to look at translation support using something like gettext
Yeah. I get that they’re a source of revenue but there comes a point where they’re so bad that the site becomes unusable on certain devices. In those cases, I usually go back and read them on the computer where I have uBlock. They also need to turn off auto play. That takes up a lot of battery power. Funny thing is that the outfits complain about people trying to block the ads. Perhaps they shouldn’t use them in ways that make browsing totally obnoxious. I remember back when we ads were just three text links in a Google search. Text ads I can handle as they don’t take up much processing power. Sigh!
Yeah, sorry, that was the best I could come up with. Found a couple of other sites but they were also outdated 🙁
The regional differences can get weird. For the longest time, due to licensing, Samsung wouldn’t release their own devices with their own chips over here in the US. It later was due to them having issues getting them up to par with Qualcomm’s chips
I would be careful ordering that sort of thing from Ali. There are quite a few shady sellers over there and the devices may steal your information. But, yeah, an external device is always an option
Doesn’t appear that the bbPress documentation has something similar. The closest it has is an old guide to styling: https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/
The touchscreen on my A7 Lite isn’t as responsive as I like and doesn’t pick up all my finger motions. Probably on account of the low cost screen but it does the job. Still struggles a tad on reading web articles due to it not being able to handle the processing of all the ads, videos, etc that I don’t care about so I may upgrade it at some point now that I’m using it more. Will look into it more when it gets more obnoxious 😛
Looks like Samsung has a list here of their supported devices. Looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2020, though.
More than likely! No platform is perfect, after all. It would help if more of the bbPress bugs were tackled, though! That and more integration 😛
We have something similar called the BBB. The ratings don’t mean much as they just reflect how the business responds to customers but it does help give you a general idea of how doing business with the company will go 🙂
So gas giants in NMS aren’t exactly scientifically accurate. They have a surface! And lakes that you can fish in 😛
Fred Flintstone is so abusive, it’s a wonder that Barney and Wilma put up with him!
Sorry, not a whole lot I can do about the smiley in the spoiler. It’s due to there not being a semantic spoiler tag on the web so browsers don’t understand it’s supposed to be hidden. Maybe one day!
Yeah, a lot of Tarantino films are a bit rough but they’re generally pretty fun. Pulp Fiction will always be his best, though.
Yep, it’s hard to get support on the topic when the thread was closed. Especially if it was a partial solution that you had questions on. This xkcd comic comes to mind: https://xkcd.com/979/
Ugh. We once found up the limit to the number of replies to status updates on IP.Board. I think it was 100 replies per status update? Something like that at any rate 😛
So, I lied. I’m moving forward with the skeleton build script 😛
Ford defining macros in the build script, we’ll want this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79162315/how-do-i-define-a-c-c-preprocessor-variable-in-meson
Probably could have found it in the documentation but I had trouble with the layout of the Meson website. We may want to use that for defining things like the version number just to make things tidier. Or we could simply set up the macros in header files. Same result, just a couple of different ways of doing it. Will need to give it some thought to decide on a method.
I’m kind of all over the place, I know
Started looking into setting up a build script (got Meson installed this morning) and got a little stuck on account of the lack of a main function so it’ll need to wait a bit 🙂
Meson looks pretty straightforward and cleaner than CMake so I’m currently leaning towards it.Yep, that sort of thing is very common in film. At least they had the same hair color! 😛
Oftentimes, the supposed family members don’t look a thing alike! It’s always a breath of fresh air when they get actual family members to play families. They did that for the farmhouse scene! That was an actual family!
Watched the uncut version of the Blues Brothers yesterday. Extra ten minutes in length, which brought it to almost 2.5 hours long. Very much worth it, though!
Whelp, looks like my YouTube recs are all messed up. Mostly just mixes in there. 😛
And we can’t forget about Hans Zimmer!
Haven’t listened to this one in ages:
This may be helpful at some point: https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/
Google has offered the service for a while. Not used a whole lot these days but I still see it from time to time. No idea how to implement it, though.
As for modifying the current search boxes for a simple query, possibly. Will add it to the list of things to investigate 🙂
Sorry, they’ve got things under a new branch: https://github.com/rfuzzo/MWEdit/tree/dev
Some of the changes make sense but others are lost on me. May make more sense later on, though. We could merge the changes later on if that’s the case. Most of the changes in rfuzzo’s seem to deal with the Windows API, which is pretty foreign to me. Most OS APIs are as I generally stick to platform independent code.
No worries, I can use GitHub if needed. 🙂 Just need to set things back up. Don’t know why, using it just isn’t a pleasant experience is all. Always felt better when using GitLab. Really can’t explain it.
I think it’ll be fine as we’re not using it as an API or anything but there are some memory operations in the code. Hopefully they’re part of the program and not trying to access anything in memory separately.
The code is twenty years old so who knows how much we’ll want to change it.
Couldn’t find the main function but there’s this one: https://github.com/NimrodPSI/MWEdit/blob/master/project/MWEdit.cpp#L461
Does Windows generate the main function at compile time for GUI programs, then? GTK doesn’t so if that’s the case, we’ll need to add one later.
No hurry! Just wanted to ask to see how progress was coming along 🙂 Been pretty slow myself. Just general moodiness. 😛
I’ve started adjusting the font sizes on my system so I’m able to spend more time looking at things now. Still have some fonts to adjust but I got the editor and that’s the important one 🙂
Anyways! Started to take a deeper dive into the cppcheck log and there are some things that it picked up that aren’t optional. It picked up a couple type mismatches with printf with trying to pass a long integer type while using the main integer specifier and most, if not all, of the memory operations are using floating points instead of integers, which could lead to wonky behavior. Not sure if this is the same stuff that rfuzzo picked up as I haven’t compared everything yet, though. Haven’t started looking at the main code yet but will get there in time. I like to check the logs first to get a better handle on things instead of diving right in. 🙂 I’ll also need to track down the main function. Tried a couple of weeks ago without success but I’ll need to try again
Any luck with Visual Studio?
Yep, Fry would have kept the Devil’s hands and probably still gotten with Leela. And Robot Devil would have been very unhappy 😛
Watched Rain Man again yesterday. Wonderful movie and highly recommended 🙂
Sorry, still haven’t managed to get New Vegas working over here. 🙁
One issue I just thought of is when a plugin relies or refers to another one. How do the game engines consider cases in the plugin files? Does it treat them as case sensitive or insensitive? If the former, then the file name in said plugin would also need to be updated
Yeah, I find that the same stuff is mostly posted on Reddit. I don’t browse it very much as the atmosphere over on Reddit isn’t the best for me. Tried tuning the front page to my interests but Reddit keeps resetting them when I browse other communities so I’ve pretty much given up. I think I may try moving back to Feedly to try and get things. Will think on it some.
That one looks pretty good. Wiki has a small list of other services, too. One of these days, I need to go through and organize my bookmarks again. I last did it around 2019…. 😛
In the past, sites used to be happy to merge accounts for you but very few do that now. It was nice being able to call customer service and explain the situation and get everything migrated.
Yep, really miss Google Cache. It was very handy, especially to grab a snapshot of a site when they were down for whatever reason. Nothing wrong with Archive.org but they don’t update their archive as often as Google’s bot crawls around the web on account of having much fewer resources.
There’s Pocket! The mobile version is hit or miss for me so I stopped using it ages ago as I like to save articles on one device and read them on another but it has always worked really well on the computer. Do note that to save a page that has gone offline requires a subscription, which I never signed up for. Also really miss StumbleUpon. Used to use the add-on all the time to get cool and random stuff. The Internet just isn’t the same these days. 🙁
