That’s one way of doing it but it’s also a good way to get blacklisted by search engines. They don’t generally like 18+ sites, even if the content is relatively benign

For now, I went with defs.h and defs.cc but can change it later. All files in the old esm/ directory have been overhauled and pushed up. Will update the paths at the end just in case there wind up being additional changes (it’ll also help keep the commit log tidy) 🙂

Here’s the full commit message:
File changes:
- Remove <code>Esm</code> prefix

Always wanted to give FreeBSD a try but never got around to it. Unfortunately, I’m not able to on the current system as System 76 doesn’t provide driver packages for BSD. Most of the hardware would work fine with the drivers in the repo but they’ve got a custom fan controller that would require some special drivers. Makes, sense, though as they…[Read more]

Really not sure. Looks like VS Code leverages the system’s compiler via settings so it would depend on whether or not it handles the code generation as well. Based on it being a trimmed down VS, I would assume not but could be worth a try. Not in the repos over here (it was in one of the distros I used but may be worth grabbing the official DEB at…[Read more]

In that case, I’ll get started on the file names. There are about 300 – 400 code files in the project so this will be a bit….painful without doing it via a script (don’t know enough about Bash scripting and some may need to remain the same) 😛

We do have GDB over here and there’s a MinGW version as well to let me debug Windows binaries but that…[Read more]

Yeah, using macros like that is generally frowned upon but they’re still used pretty extensively because of their convenience. I’d rather just put the code in an actual function 🙂

The irony is that porn websites have been required to block access to minors for decades and Reddit also has some porn sub-Reddits 😛

And, while we’re on the subject…[Read more]

Macro functions keep you from needing to use a mess of overloads and automatic function parameters, including void pointers. The problem is that they’re a pain to debug. The preprocessor is a replacement system so the logging function would be replaced by the code itself, leaving you without a function call in the debug log

Not at all familiar…[Read more]

Cool. Been wanting to get into amateur radio myself, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet 🙂 Also want to get a dish antenna for the system once it’s up and running to play with

I think that article is referring to toasts in the web page as opposed to the system but I could be wrong. Chrome forwards the notification API to the system now (used to…[Read more]

There’s one. They also did a series of propaganda shorts for WW2. One had a horse doing a striptease and then getting a bit…excited during its brushing, which was a bit suggestive even for Looney Tunes 😛

Yep, seen Wanted. Been a while, though, so it may be time for a re-watch. 🙂

And, as usual,…[Read more]

The skeleton for the new directory structure has been created on my end. I’ll get it pushed up after I move the resource files to the new build directory. That leaves fixing the file names, the paths, and figuring out what belongs in the new mwedit directory, along with updating the CI and build scripts for the new paths

Looks like HN is still around: https://news.ycombinator.com/news

Could be a candidate for the software thread (which I still need to reply to…)

Sadly, the posts are a lot less technical than they were a decade ago. Haven’t checked out Slashdot in a while. Think I’ll give give it once over and see how they’re faring

Yeah, we’ll probably want to improve the error logging. MWEdit has two main forms of error logging: a custom assert function and then the error handler. One is supposed to output to the log file while the other sends it to standard out but neither one is fully implemented. In fact, the error logging was already commented out in several places and…[Read more]

In that case, I’ll go ahead and start breaking things!

I’m not sure how much help an AI search tool will be in this case as it compiles fine but doesn’t run properly. Unless it can also test it in a Windows instance, it probably needs human analysis.

Another thought just occurred to me: could you run the broken version of MWEdit from the…[Read more]

And another classic:

Doesn’t appear on their list of salads, either 🙁

Always go with brewed coffee! Of course, I’m not very good at making it but it’s not too bad. 😛 Don’t like to take up my counter space with a coffee machine (got rid of the old one as it was too big) so I use a tea infuser to do the job 🙂

So these days, USA Pan is one of the better options. I…[Read more]

Okay, I’ve updated the linked issue updated with the current plan of action. If it looks satisfactory, I’ll start implementing the new layout after I give the linked projects another look-see. Once I start, all builds will be broken for a few weeks until all of the paths are updated 🙂

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m going to start reviewing the linked directory layouts and get going on some organizing. Or try to anyways. We’ll see what kind of progress I make 😛

The last one doesn’t show up here but I think I found an alternate vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7eyPZat6Jk

Need to start listening to music again. Been finding it a bit hard after the roofing last year disrupted my listening habits and now I’m reading a lot. Tried listening to music while reading but it tends to just distract me from the book 😛

Adams has some great quotes: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams

Yeah, I’m pretty surprised they didn’t add such a reference to the gravesite. Quite a few prominent writers have quotes on their headstones. Just a few examples: https://lithub.com/which-writers-have-the-best-tombstone-inscriptions/

I know there are more! Just too lazy to…[Read more]

Weird article. 😛

Seinfeld also did a bit on the life of socks:
