It has to be said that one of the reasons a single header library is so useful in the C/C++ world, is because it makes interfacing to Lua so much sweeter.

Lua(C,C++) = nirvana

BRB, off to add Canvas_ity to LOAD81 ..

Would be a bit more practical and a lot more portable ..

I forked it and gave the robot work to do through my structured way of things. Seems to be working so far, with some added extensions to the original: https://github.com/Keyframe/canvas_ity_c89

> This fork ports everything to strict C89, adds a backend abstraction layer, and replaces CMake with a plain Makefile.

Blessings, this is exactly what I wanted when I saw the project. Please give my regards to the robot who helped. ;)

Yes, but didn’t our wrists evolve because of all the fire-starting?

Arsonists being more developed hominids?

Arsonist wouldnt exist if there was nt general fascination with fire in most people.

Neanderthals existed just fine without it for some time, interestingly.

Yes, very definitely. There has always been a need for high performance native applications. Even in the beginning of the desktop computing revolution, these questions have been asked .. and yes, there is a balance between native and cloud/browser-based computing - some of it is personal, much of it is industrial and corporate, and yet more of the spectrum where both methods are applicable exists, even still, decades later.

Same. Choco solves this with a one-liner for me.

This will be useful in the laser wars.

It should be noted that the example given by the OP contains ‘poor’ icons which are more a consequence of the nature of the source - i.e. a HR headshot does not an effective workflow make ..

Yes, I too felt that way as I began to read, it was an immediate disappointment, kind of, that the UI wasn’t on full display, front and center.

I wouldn’t trust a framework that requires me to involve myself with JavaScript, nextJS, and React, also… but I am generally of the opinion that a framework pitching itself as a UI kit, must pretty much not be a plugin for a web browser…

Yeah the docs are like that because I didn't know React well enough to make my own docs and so I stuck with Webflow and realized very quickly I'd made a huge mistake. But I needed to get something out there to buy time while I figure out how to make grownup docs.

Bingo.

These tool fails are as a consequence of a failure of proper policy.

Tooling and Methodology!

Here’s the thing: build it first, then optimize it. Same goes for compile/release versus compile/debug/test/hack/compile/debug/test/test/code cycles.

That there is not a big enough distinction between a development build and a release build is a policy mistake, not a tooling ‘issue’.

Set things up properly and anyone pushing through git into the tooling pipeline are going to get their fingers bent soon enough, anyway, to learn how the machine mangles digits.

You can adopt this policy of environment isolation with any tool - it’s a method.

Tooling and Methodology!

Fully agree with how it seems Asimov has misunderstood something, or perhaps been myopic about seeing the world of 1984 with commitment .. another thing that killed his analysis for me was that he didn’t seem to understand the immensely dire conditions of 1984, vis a vis low quality razors, etc., nor that the sociological aspects he implies as banal (implying orwells disregard for proles) were as a consequence of years of brutal war. Asimov didn’t seem to want to scratch deeper into 1984 - he was, I believe, more responding to the world of 1980, which was after all an entirely different yet strikingly similar world to the novel, kind of like political parties.

I have respect for both authors, but for sure I’d rather have a drink and share a sausage with Orwell at a party than wall-flower with the collective absorbing Asimovs rants didactic. Pretty sure the gin’d be cheap anyway.
