Common is done. Now I can start reviewing the main code. 🙂
Great, thanks. Will keep it in mind. Looks like GTK mostly handles that internally so it may go away when the switch is made:)
Found the path stuff: https://github.com/boss-developers/boss/commit/bee3deb160258054165908b7104815a783a69afd
Not sure if the version in the standard has the same behavior or if wide paths are needed but we’ll find out!
Things are settling down so I’m planning to continue to work on those last few files in Common tomorrow before moving the investigation to the main code 🙂
Edit:
Looking at the Unicode sample here: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem/path/string
It looks like those changes were merged into the standard but C++ used to have weird Unicode handling. Looks like it may have improved in recent years. Which would be nice as it used to be very cludgy.
I don’t understand why they mix C and C++ file handling, though. Going to worry about it when we get there
Pretty sure I was able to fix it using the standard features. I vaguely recall that I may have simply switched over to the wide string type (simply wstring compared to string) from the normal one but it’ll need verification. It would increase memory a tad since it has to allocate more storage per character but the effect should be negligible
Most GUI libraries let you change the tab order so we’ll want to make sure the sequence is correct in whatever GUI library we go with. GUI programming is something I don’t have much experience with outside of VB 6 so we’ll see how it goes 😛
Do I understand correctly or is there more to it than that?
I found an old VB 6 disc lying around somewhere when I was cleaning up a few years ago. Really need to see if it still works!
There’s a chance the program doesn’t work well with Unicode paths. I forget how I fixed it in BOSS but I’ll see if I can track things down if it turns out the paths have issues. This mostly affected languages that weren’t based on the Latin character set, so Russian and several Asian languages for example.
Okay, Glade’s replacement is called Cambalache. Currently, it appears to be *nix only but there are plans to get it working officially on Windows at some point.
I used to catch these films on Hulu back when it was free. They had a huge selection of old science fiction films. When they went paid, they removed almost all of them. Was very sad when that happened 🙁
Watched It Came From Beneath the Sea the other day and that was fun. Tubi has the colorized version of The Giant Gila Monster but those are no fun!
Tubi has The IT Crowd, probably going to need to give it another watch 😀
I read about the case recently. Not sure what I was looking up followed the link trails to it. Shame about the poor synergy 🙁
That actually brings up a good question: is the issue referring to the tab key or a GUI tab? I can’t tell based on the description.
Sounds like it should be able to, unless the conditions listed are met. Sounds like a null pointer or similar is causing the issue with it assuming the data is there and crashes when it realizes there’s nothing to access.
Will find out about the search. If regex, we can switch to the regex library that was added in C++11. The regex library is broken in a certain version of VS and gives an infinite loop but the later versions with support are fine (no issues in any of the libstdc++ versions with support from GCC that I know about)
There are also some alternative libraries that may be worth plugging in: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/links/libs#Text:Search
Looks like the Glade GUI designer for GTK has been discontinued for whatever reason. I think there’s work on a replacement, I’ll try to look it up when I get the opportunity
More notes!
Taking a look at the issues, issue 3 may or may not be still relevant. It would need testing with the current UI library to make sure it wasn’t an old bug in Windows.
Issue 9 sounds like it’s an issue in the base CS as opposed to MWEdit so should probably be deleted from the issue list.
No idea what 7 would be referring to. That’s pretty standard behavior for search functionalities.
Decided it was time to get a post up on AFK. I’ll get a separate thread up there later on 🙂
Ah, yeah, that definitely does some odd stuff.
There was a group on Dark Creations trying to make the region of Skyrim in Minecraft back when I was adminning there but I don’t know what became of the project. They never did post publicly but development seemed fairly active. No idea if it’s the same group. Could be, the timing is about right.
I’m playing Bedrock at the moment as it works better than the Java version (I avoid Java when I can). Unfortunately, Bedrock doesn’t have good mod support. You can have resource packs and behavior packs but they’re limited compared to what you can do with the Java version of the game.
Part of my trouble with it is that it’s taking me a bit to get my creativity back. I’m also out of practice. I had a monster steal my boat when I hopped in and they immediately killed me when I stepped out to evict them. 😛
Current world started this morning is a bunch of islands so mining is hard but I think I’ll try to stick with it as long as I can. There is some good flat land so I’m going to start building up on the surface. Haven’t hit iron yet but there is a village nearby so they may have the iron I need to get basic production going. Time will tell
Having difficulty getting back into Minecraft. I’ll keep making new worlds until I figure it out again.
Yep! Seen many of them. Haven’t seen them in a while though so it’s probably time for a rewatch. 🙂
Have you seen the older episodes of the Price is Right? They were good, too! Nowadays, it’s a bit flashy compared to how it used to be and the hosts aren’t as good but can still be fun 🙂
They’re also still running Let’s Make a Deal! Found out a couple of years ago when I stumbled on it channel surfing when the Internet was down and I didn’t have any books downloaded.
In continuing the trend of watching old films, rewatched Curse of the Undead the other day. Fun film but the “villain” was largely misunderstood.
Also watched the original version of The Thing from Another World. Really good film. They do an amazing job of showing that it’s not just a horror film but a science fiction film as well.
Weird. Not everyone has to change the clocks so I can see that being very problematic
I’m kind of surprised that no one has fixed that with an OBSE plugin yet. There are plugins that fix most of the other quirks!
Got Minecraft reinstalled. Took me a few worlds to get the hang of it again but I now have basic shelter in a cave. Going to need to move for more permanent lodging as it’s pretty mountainous so I don’t have the flat land I need for development. 🙂
Certainly! Can definitely have some fun with it. Feel free to get the discussion going! Been a bit focused on other things the last few days but can definitely reply and add thoughts 🙂 Or I can get it going once things settle down some in a couple of days. Either way is fine by me 🙂
All good here. CloudFlare does sometimes block me from random sites, while others it gets caught in loops and won’t let me in even though it doesn’t block me. To be fair, it used to be much worse in their earlier days.
Good selection there! It’s also incredibly useful for all sorts of things. You can use it to make sieves, plug up fencing, and more!
Been considering reinstalling Minecraft on the new system to add variety. Been drawn to building games lately. Been bouncing around OpenTTD and Manor Lords a lot the past week or so. Right now, I’m building a passenger focused network in OpenTTD, forgoing pretty much everything else. But I haven’t played Minecraft in five years since I accidentally shorted the old system out while cleaning it so it’s probably past time 🙂
Great! Glad to hear that the heads are still compatible. Cuisinart does the same with their food processors: parts from fifty years ago often still work on the current models. Really like it when companies keep the standard instead of inventing a new one every few years like they do in the computer industry. 🙂
I use a Roomba but do have a vertical for emergencies. I’ve only ever used it a few times but you never know when you’ll need to suck up a spill 🙂
Still haven’t gotten around to reaching out to the folks about the turntable. Really been too busy with other stuff but I’ll get there!
Still working on Common. I’ve got five more files left in Common to go through before I can fix the operator overloads and then I can move to the main code. Going slow now as I don’t seem to have the stamina I did ten years ago but it’s still going!
The trick I use for oregano is to plant it in a baby pool after punching holes in the bottom. It works like a charm! Granted, it still gets too cold in the winter even for herbs here so spring replanting is always a must if they’re outside 🙂
It’s doing well but the neighbors have started messing with the new ground cover, which is why it had to be planted in the first place. 🙁
We did our planting the other day. Not too much concern about wildlife here messing with them but I do need to haul them gallons of water to them every other day 😛
That’s one of the ones I can’t get, sadly. Part of the franchise is only on HBO Max, part of it is available free, while the rest simply isn’t available. 🙁
Did try Get a Clue yesterday but it focuses too much on slapstick comedy and does away with the entire premise so I stopped watching after a single episode and after a look through the summaries of the next few episodes. The art style was weird, as well.
Did watch The Looney Tunes Show. Not sure how I feel about it yet but it’s sort of in the style of The Odd Couple with a few modern shorts mixed in for short “breaks”. Will watch another few episodes before I make a decision.
Saw Abraxas yesterday and that was fun. Just your typical 80’s action flick made in 91. More like a Terminator rip-off than anything 😛
It would have been fine if they had just ended it before the last chapter. It was already implied that the main story was over and the conflict resolved. At least until a couple pages in to the final chapter.
A lot of my thinking of Walrus was actually inspired by Vault-Tec but without Vault-Tec’s other issues…. 😛
Yeah, Google has been getting bad about preservation lately, which is a bit depressing. I still wish I could redownload my Google Reader archive from years ago as I lost it in one of the computer shuffles. 🙁
Yeah, only about half of the franchise seems to be available. All of it used to be shown as reruns on broadcast TV but broadcast TV hasn’t shown them in two decades 🙁
What’s new is also highly self-referential: they make jokes about the cliches all the time. It also confirmed that Pup is canon and takes place in the mainline franchise and even brought Roadrunner and Coyote into the universe. By extension, Bugs Bunny now exists in the Scooby Doo universe as he filled in for Roadrunner once.
The Day After Tomorrow has similar absurdities. Granted, I haven’t seen it yet.
The Alpha Test had a good concept but the implementation wasn’t at all good. Can likely be skipped and why I don’t generally watch newer films. It didn’t have any campyness to make it enjoyable to me and the acting was terrible.
What’s New Scooby Doo does a good job of expanding the characters’ personalities and even does more to establish the Fred and Daphne relationship. Do wish I could get the whole franchise but only bits and pieces are available. 🙁
Never have been a bit fan of disaster films, Gilligan’s Island was always preferred. Granted, I will watch some of them when we’ve got a bad storm or something on the way just for giggles 😛
