Forgreton The Therac-25 Incident (2021)

What surprised me most was that only one developer was working on such an unpredictable technology, whereas I think I need at least 5 developers to be able to discuss options.

Forgreton Fenster: Most minimal cross-platform GUI library

Hahaha, so it makes sense that DOOM can be run anywhere.

Forgreton Show HN: Stb_zip – header-only C ZIP parser, zero dependencies, fast

This is possible not only fault with AI, because I always do tests, but sometimes I don't always manage to cover all platforms like this Linux, because I have to admit that I don't have a PC, and I did all this on my phone.

Forgreton Ask HN: Which is better in your opinion: C or C++.Justify your answer?

I will choose C for one simple reason: less unnecessary overhead. In C++, a lot of additional stuff can be added to the binary after compilation, which makes it harder to fully control. With C, I get a clean binary right away, and that’s what I prefer.

Forgreton Show HN: Uprintf a universal stb-style printf implementation for C (no OS)

Okay, I'll review the answer, and to tell you the truth, I'm improving the code and comments with the help of AI. Well, of course, I did the ideas and other things myself, and I understand that you may not like this. AI is a controversial topic now, but I still have to thank you. I have the feeling that you are more worried about my project than I am.

Forgreton Show HN: Uprintf a universal stb-style printf implementation for C (no OS)

Ok, I will make your request.

Forgreton Show HN: Uprintf a universal stb-style printf implementation for C (no OS)

Thanks, I will review your PR, and I have to thank you very much for saving my time and correcting the error.

Forgreton Show HN: Uprintf a universal stb-style printf implementation for C (no OS)

Thanks, I will make and add unit tests As you requested, I'm already starting to do it, but in the meantime, if you want, you can support the project with a star. :)

Forgreton Building a Markdown-like language, shaped by community feedback

Thanks for the idea, it sounds interesting, I'll try to simplify the syntax for better understanding.

1. Inline styling with @

@color#4c4,bg#aaa Text @

color#hex for text color

bg#hex for background color

Multiple props separated by commas

Ends with another @ (so you can nest easier without clashing with brackets)

Example:

@color#fff,bg#f00 Danger!@

2. Fonts with @font

@font10pt,mono Code sample@

10pt = font size

mono = monospace (could also be serif, sans)

3. Named styles

@style$danger=color#484,bg#cc8@ @danger I'm dangerous@

First line defines the style name

Second line uses it with just @name …@

Forgreton Ask HN: Which Do you know any open source games?

Thank you for this selection of games, especially liked «Battle for Wesnoth».

Forgreton Ask HN: In which programming language is it better to make your own language?

Hmm, sounds appealing, and I agree, C is still pretty complicated and the slow speed of the program is not that critical, in exchange for this wonderful library that will save me a lot of time, unlike C.

Forgreton Ask HN: In which programming language is it better to make your own language?

Thank you, for these materials you have helped me a lot to understand everything better.

Forgreton Ask HN: In which programming language is it better to make your own language?

Thanks, that sounds interesting, I'll try to find out more information about it, and maybe use your advice.
