Maybe I'm an old fart - but I miss when you could purchase a game and play it. No need for internet or signing up. Insert, press power, and play. I understand times have changed. Y…

> GNU turned out to be barely relevant GCC, GDB, CoreUtils, etc - A COLLECTION of useful programs alongside a kernel such as Linux. Barely relevant? We owe our thanks to the GNU pr…

> HTMX makes it hard to build even basic things, because it swaps entire HTML forcing a full repaint. That's the foundation of how it works. I 100% disagree with this comment. Lets…

I am one of those 'htmx lovers' but I do not comment that is the be all to end all. Every website you create, just like any form of application, is based on solving a particular pr…

But you can do this with htmx by using the respected hx-* attributes. For example, on button click to GET html. Again, you can specify what you want to do with the returned html wi…

Sounds like you are going through similar struggles as a few backend developers I had trying out htmx. Years of muscle memory with returning JSON and letting the frontend (javascri…

Yes - with C# websites - I default to Razor (and htmx) Very fluid, imo.

Yes - how you likely built websites in 2000's era (possibly with Classic ASP or PHP4 .. maybe Perl?) is the sort of websites we are addressing with HTMX. It's bringing us back to t…

As much as I really like htmx -- this is a sad truth! I tried to pitch htmx to my team last year and found an opportunity to create a simple webapp. One of the devs really struggle…

Hi jimbokun Thank you for your message. I appreciate you going out of your way and showing care for others - in this case my career. I have updated my resume and looking. I have a …

The company I work for is pretty much washing its hands and going with off-the-shelf solutions, instead. We are transitioning into a role that's mostly extending a main business so…

This is what I do when I use Windows. However, in recent years, I tend to use Emacs via WSL. However, I believe Microsoft Intune is used within the Business to control what softwar…

At a company I work for, they are doing various changes (and control) over the software we install as we transition to a larger company. I believe they are using Microsoft Intune s…

Dont get me wrong - I really like and appreciate your comment. However, and adding to other replies, by SDL I assume you mean the Simple Directmedia Layer? SDL looks rather strong …

I remember the first time I tried jQuery -- which was 2009. Before jQuery, I had vanilla JS code that factored in Safari, Firefox, Opera... and... IE6, IE7, and then IE8 which was …

Very sad news.

Yeah - I find it a little frustrating that the first thing to do after installing Gnome3 is to install Tweaks.

I don't have as much hatred towards Gnome 3 like everyone else does. Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not defending it. I was a little heart broken as I really liked Gnome 2. How…

I have been a Linux user since 2005 or 06. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in the world of computers. I started with Ubuntu and went on a distro hunt such as Fedora, M…

They keep reminding you so you end up buying a new PC with Windows 11. That's all it is. No extra code logic is needed. Just keep pestering the end user with a popup. They don't ca…

Being a teenager, I honestly viewed the N64 (Ultra 64) as being an unstoppable force during the early news. We even had a 486 PC running Doom since the early-to-mid 90s. LOL. I cou…

I was doing some pretty decent rendering in HTML4 back in 2008.. supporting various browers (let alone IE6, 7 and maybe 8 at the time) Around 2010, I did experiment with things lik…

My only gripe is with Vec3_new() function in "Memory Ownership" section. It assumes you want a single malloc of Vec3. It tries to behave as if you are doing a 'new' in an OOP langu…
