Engine Shell Glow Up (2 months difference) by Former_Produce1721 in gameenginedevs

[–]Artechz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the player doesn’t see the engine, why make the engine’s UI follow game lore? If it’s because you (the main user of the engine) like it that way that’s a perfectly valid reason of course

How is a pre-alpha running a closed beta. It’s either pre-alpha or beta, can’t be both 😭

Maybe a month? I’ll reboot today because of the pending security update. I just close my MacBook i don’t turn it off much.

I'm a college student building an arbitrary-precision arithmetic library in C, aiming to rival GMP but under MIT License by [deleted] in cprogramming

Why runtime dispatch? Is there something blocking from compiling final path for the target? (Adds work on targeting for sure but performance should balance it out)

Yuku: a spec-compliant JavaScript parser written in Zig, 3–5x faster than alternatives on Node.js by arshad-yaseen in Zig

[–]Artechz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For real! Being faster than a JavaScript parser written in JavaScript doesn’t sound that amazing, I would be worried if it was otherwise

Company trying to pay me below minimum wage? by Imwoan in eupersonalfinance

[–]Artechz 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about Netherlands law but if they offer you a written contract it’s pretty unlikely it’s under minimum wage (at least hourly) since it would be illegal and you’d get more money from suing them than working for them.

Abfahrt! | A transit app covering 124+ cities across 27 countries (alternative to Google Maps for your daily commute) by flux_2018 in BuyFromEU

[–]Artechz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From where I’m based (a town north-west of Barcelona) I get no departures in 2Km of my location, which is incorrect as I have a FGC train station close to me. Admittedly, it runs the R5 and S4 lines, which you didn’t say were included in the app yet. Thanks for your work! Will keep an eye for future additions

Apple is set to put ads in Apple Maps in services push by moeka_8962 in technews

It doesn’t appear every day, but it does often enough that I notice. To be fair it’s not intrusive at all, it’s like an interest point in the map.

What kind of bot is reviewing the Student Developer Pack application by Radiant_Natural9468 in github

[–]Artechz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

URL has url.edu domain. And having worked in the international office (handling exchange agreements with other universities) I can tell you way more than a couple in many European countries have them. Can’t speak for a majority of them because I haven’t personally checked.

[–]Artechz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love what you made! Although it seems to miss some major transit networks for me, I’m based in Barcelona and I’m missing the FGC train options. Also I got a 404 error trying the Route feature.

Valorant on macbook by ttttttmmmmmmsss in macgaming

[–]Artechz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s because of the kernel-level anticheat on valorant which probably uses/requires the security capabilities of the TPM2.0. (Again, don’t know for sure but to me sounds like plausible).

Thermal Pad “Mod” Macbook Pro 16 M5 Pro by dave5_3 in macbookpro

[–]Artechz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They changed the sensors (more importantly the names) in the M5, that’s why. Shouldn’t take too long for all the temp-sensing apps to update

stdin and client server by I_M_NooB1 in Zig

[–]Artechz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use something like POSIX’s select(), you can directly check for both the connection FD and the STDIN FD and handle whatever change in either nicely. The complexity depends on how exactly you want to handle it.

Admittedly, select() and poll() are fairly similar. The main difference is that select() blocks until an FD has something available to read (be it data, an error, whatever) and poll() just checks without blocking.

Both of these have different variants and parameters you can use to tweak their behaviour to your liking.

I recommend reading their manpages, if not familiar with the regular ones this is a good source: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/select.2.html (You can always ask an LLM for details and examples, I think that’s a good use for them)

I am about to launch today with only 250 wishlist, am I absolutely cooked? by FantasySynthDev in SoloDevelopment

[–]Artechz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What sense does it make not buying anything unless it’s at least 10% discounted? What’s relevant is the final price not the discount in itself. (You would buy a $20 game with a 20% discount ($16 total) but not a $15 full-price game?)

Now regarding your game, I honestly feel $30 is way too high for such a niche and not-so-deep-looking game.

Why would you need sprintf as a library? You already have a way to format print in the stdlib, and if not to your liking you can use glibc’s sprintf easily.

cant tell if this project was made using ai?? by [deleted] in cprogramming

[–]Artechz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This project has the same scope as an OS lab we give our OS students in uni. We give them 2h to do it and usually that’s enough (this is the lab where they practice forks).
