True, it’s just one of the many issues that came to mind while writing this.

My solution to the issue is also full screen borderless combined with resolution scaling.

I agree entirely with the author on the limitations of Raylib. I'm currently working on a tower-defense style game that I started in Raylib, but I'm running into many of the same limitations (and more). Things such as toggling fullscreen not working consistently across platforms, not being able to enumerate screen modes, toggling rendering features at runtime, saving compiled shaders etc., etc. Having said that, I appreciate Ray's work on this library and will continue to sponsor him. Raylib is great for quickly banging out a prototype, but not much beyond that unless you're okay with living with severe limitations.

Lesson learned, for sure, but I'm too far into the development to swap all of the Raylib stuff out for SDL (or something else) now.

Having grown up in the rural Netherlands in the 90s: Yes, it was animal excrement and it was terrible. You’d had to close your windows even if a farmer was spraying their manure a kilometer away. Not to mention that these tanks of manure would be driven through towns and would leave behind liquid spills on the roads.

Direct injection was a godsend.

I have nothing to show yet, but I'm working on a tower defense game in the vein of some classic Flash-based TD games.

So, I’m Dutch and have lived half my life in The Netherlands and half my life in the USA. Which country do I pick? The results are quite different for each.

Or the guy who really just needs it:

"Hey, Alex. I saw you've head BasePage.aspx locked since last month. Mind if I work on it for a bit?"

"I still need it."

"Any idea when you'll be done with it?"

"No."

This is what the waterfall model was made for.

This is a fun idea, and I hope it takes off, but I already noticed some spammy sites, and reporting them isn't easy (it requires a PR).

I understand that adding a site requires a PR to have some barrier to entry, but reporting should probably be more accessible.

I got started in QBASIC as a kid, but it wasn’t until Delphi 4 that programming became something that I wanted to pursue as more than just a hobby. Though it’s been over 20 years since I touched Pascal, I owe my entire career to Borland and Delphi.

Fantastic, thanks for the pointers!

I agree that it still owns a massive chunk of the backend market. 20-something years in, and it's still difficult to shake.

However, I would take the numbers on the site you linked with a big grain of salt. Detecting which backend technology powers a site without direct evidence is nearly impossible. PHP may be high up the list since it and its associated stack leak the most metadata.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 23 a few weeks ago, in which GNOME decided to remove app menus requiring me to install a wonky extension to reclaim functionality. The top horizontal menu is still there taking up screen real estate, mind you, it’s just less useful.

These changes are annoying enough with each upgrade to make me consider switching DEs.

It seems modest: 5GB of disk space and 8GB of RAM for a small model, and it will run on a CPU.

It looks like it received the HN hug of death.

Edit: it's working now.

Thanks for the suggestion; I appreciate it. Is this something you take daily or as you need it?

I do take Clonazepam when I get severe panic attacks or right before something I know usually triggers a panic attack, but nothing on a day-to-day basis. Clonazepam does seem to help with my symptoms, though it just makes me feel euphoric (which, I guess, is better than feeling like I'm dying). I take a tiny dose, but it seems to help a lot.

I have a few things I wish I'd done sooner if you'd indulge my ranty and highly personal list:

* Moving out of the city and into the country. I know this one is not feasible for most people, but it helped me to get out of the hustle and bustle and back to an environment similar to where I grew up.

* Reducing caffeine and increasing water intake. I limit myself to one cup of coffee in the morning and no caffeine afterward.

* Quitting my high-stress job in favor of a job at a startup and taking more breaks.

* Daily cardio exercise for at least 30 minutes.

* Talking about how I'm feeling with my partner. It seems simple and silly, but this one is crucial for me. I tend to lock up when I'm feeling crappy and lash out. Overcoming that and talking about how I'm feeling has helped enormously.

* Going to therapy.

These are all helping me cope, so I still have panic attacks, but not as often as a decade or so ago.

That has also been my experience. I’ve had anxiety since I was a child and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. Back in 2014 or so, I was at my wits end and wanted to try medical marijuana since it was touted as a solution to my anxiety. I went to see a doctor, who doubled down on this being a good thing to try. So, I got my card, and went to a dispensary where I bought whatever they recommended for anxiety.

Two hours later, I was having my biggest panic attack in years. If I didn’t grow up having panic attacks all my life, I would probably have called 911 or got someone to drive me to the ER.

If there’s an easy fix for anxiety out there, I’d love to know about it. I’ve been fighting this for decades and it doesn’t get better as I get older. What kind of helps in the meantime is therapy, slow exposure to stressors (being careful to prevent flooding), and mindfulness meditation. None of this fixes my anxiety, but it makes it a little bit more manageable.

That’s really cool. Does it all generate enough revenue for you to support yourself financially?

I've given up on Google's ability to keep its products useful. For search, I switched to Kagi a few weeks back and haven't had to use Google for anything since.

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Easily discovering new artists is probably the only reason why I’m afraid of moving on from Spotify. If anyone knows a good alternative, I’m all ears.

> can never recall which

Do your glasses magnify or reduce things? The former is for aiding hyperopia and the latter for myopia.

Also, as far as I can recall, astigmatism is present at birth and not developed over time like some other eye conditions.

Merry Christmas!

I can vouch for this one as well. I ported a massive homebrewed campaign over to Foundry with this and couldn't be happier to be rid of Roll20.

I backed via RSI before the Kickstarter went live.

It's the reason I insta-backed in October of 2012 but I haven't heard a status update in years.

Wow, I can still evoke the memory and scent of that first spindle of blank CDs I bought for my 1x CD writer. It's so distinct and unforgettable.

It seems to have preliminary Battle.net integration work, so maybe we’ll get to play Overwatch and Diablo on Linux?
