> The answer is that the Raylib DLL is implicitly pulled in by game.dll, but unloading game.dll does not unload the implicitly pulled in Raylib DLL

Was about to comment on this one, this only applies on Windows. So far as my experimentation with Hot Reloading with Odin on Linux went though, on linux that would work differently. It seemed as though there was some kind of reference counter on shared objects, so if your main exe didn't use raylib, it would also get yeeted when you unload the game and all of the state would reset.

So if you really want to make this work on both windows and linux, you'd insert

    @require import "vendor:raylib"
    _ :: raylib

In the main program and iirc you don't have to do anything else. Actually it was like a year ago the last time I did this, I don't remember what the issue was haha. Pretty sure I ran into a bug with GLFW thread locals but yea. no idea.

Why did I think it was something about elon musk, ha.. haha...

Okay I did not read this when I wrote this. Not what I expected actually

The URL of this article is funny "/the-art-of-failure".

Oh yes, I'm an artist then

What's Go, if not Golang? I mean, there's some other programming language called Go that I don't know about?

What's a CRDT? Yeah... I guess a better start for the article would have been to explain the terminology and what that even is and what is used for. Because I have no idea what I just read

I caught a different meaning from this entire sentence. I think the author was alluding to the fact that even if you replace a technology with something "better", at the end it doesn't matter, because Most People will keep using Twitter, Most People will keep using QWERTY layout, count all of your acquaintances, I doubt any of them speak Esperanto.

Well at least the idea comes through, but I don't think it makes sense to argue whether Lua is actually better than JavaScript or not.

Did you miss a comma, or, like, where did that come from?

Well according to biological taxonomy, viruses aren't "life", so the terms "alive" and "dead" don't quite apply to them

Chat is that real?

I've also seen a use where katakana is used to represent a "robotic" speech, like something a robot would say monotonely.

I didnt, but also I was expecting the input prompt to already contain an example

I read this like 10 times and I still dont understand this mess of grammar. Am I having a fucking stroke rn?

UI feels unresponsive. You click a button, and the button doesn't seem to do anything. In case of the left-hand side buttons, it it's just a lack of response from buttons that's unsettling, but on the right side its worse because there's zero action happening on the screen until the new background finishes loading and applies itself to the screenshot.

I would probably add some animations to make UI feel responsive. Something like make buttons highlighted on color / have a color animation after click, and have the application properly tell you when its loading something / the requested action is in progress.

I would also mention there's a very slight delay (60-200ms) between clicking a button and the thing happening on screen, but I guess that's average web application experience nowadays... so I won't complain

Ah.. this reminds me of the couple weeks when I just finished my university and was a little bit lost about what I wanted to do with my life. I'd lost my motivation for programming, as years of university forced me to suppress my motivation due to it being too distracting for my studying. So... I just played video games in whatever free time I had after job.

One weekend I decided to make a simple rhythm game, just like "osu!". To not care about performance, to not care about code cleanliness. I called it "recreational programming", just like recreational drugs. It's just me and the problem at hand. After making a simple "Hello, World" application in Odin and Raylib I got to working. Used a music from another video game, mapped it in osu and then transcribed the rhythm into my game's hardcoded beatmap format. Then added some hitsounds I found on some site with free drum samples.

I published what I've done over those two days on github and you can look at some of my ugly "I don't care" code.

I gotta say though, this project might have saved me from another depressive episode. I don't think I will continue working on my game until I decide what I want this game to be beyond a broken taiko simulator. But regardless, I moved on and picked up some of my old projects I didn't have time to work on during university.

I wonder what's going to happen the person who got saved with a transplant warmed up using a ferromagnetic nanomaterial goes to MRI

...damn

I've never had such an experience. How does it feel to be cut with a cardboard?

Well it's been 10 years since he went missing. When people go missing for a long time they are declared legally dead, regardless of their age

Nothing is ever certain when you program in javascript.

The large ~~monolithic~~ codebases have a lot more CVEs

Who would've guessed. Also the older ones also got more CVE's than newer ones, even if they aren't that big.

I was about to jump into the comment section and say something along the lines of "but no one really thinks they're actually good, right?", only to see the top comment arguing they're good.

At one point I put the RFID card I use to access the building i work at into the left pocket of my jacket instead of right pocket. I don't remember why but that day I was thoroughly convinced I forgot it at home. During lunchtime break I went back to my home only to find out it's not there...

Since then I keep the card in my left pocket.

The advice of having a specific place for every thing is good, but sometimes you mess up. I think I have ADHD so most of the time I don't pay any attention to where I leave things, I guess developing good habits is good whatever that is. Putting things in specific places is I guess one of such habits

He is indeed the

This doesnt really apply to the language selection, which is somewhat ironic. You can tell the users what they need to do, but... which language do you use to tell them to?

The question if machine learning algorithm's produced embeddings will have the acceptable quality too. With a library I presume that the quality is at least predictable. I personally have less trust in machine learning though

I may have misread the graphs, but I didn't see the article feature the comparison between the throughput when going over a fully-contiguous linked list vs. randomized linked list?

Nah

Has anyone found where the other backends are located? Or the frontends except react? I might have gotten seriously lost in the directory structure, which not gonna lie happens far too often when I browse javascript projects
