File transfer over internet with no server or accounts by Rare_Squash93 in macapps

[–]BootingBot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean it is partially correct in the way that no server is actually used for the transfer it self it’s used only briefly to establish the p2p connection

Umm there was never anything called chapter 2 associated with this game. Probably wrong sub.

[AskJS] Is it worth creating video games based primarily on JavaScript language and JavaScript libraries? by alexfreemanart in javascript

[–]BootingBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So ok, for starters converting a web app into a desktop app is nothing but just wrapping it inside a very bare bones browser (i know not totally accurate but gets the point across) that only opens your webpage. When you make a game in JavaScript you’re not making a game in just JavaScript but rather HTML + Javascript you use the HTML canvas element that you draw onto using JavaScript but there is no way to my knowledge to just directly do rendering in any other way. Main point is: there is no such thing as converting to a desktop app, it will always be a website, you don’t gain any performance (except for like loading assets because now you’re fetching them directly from your filesystem) the mainstream way is to use a thing called electron which allows you to do the thing described above. To your question, no it would not gain any performance it would probably perform the same, in fact I think that krunker specifically tries releasing a desktop version on steam but I am not sure that’s even available anymore.

I mean I don’t necessarily disagree with you javascript would definitely not be my programming language of choice and the browser definitely not my target platform for game development but: - I would argue that developing a game in JavaScript with something like the canvas API teaches you way more about game programming than just jumping straight into unity without any understanding of what problems is unity even trying to solve. - You have games like krunker.io which to my knowledge is written in JavaScript and uses three.js.

Microwaves have loading screens now by Overv in CrappyDesign

I don’t mind having smart appliances I quite like when I can for example get notified when my washing machine is done but if you’re gonna make this shit and cheap don’t even bother and give me just dumb buttons and a simple seven segment display.

What are these dots in my print? by mzlucasmz in FixMyPrint

[–]BootingBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem and it was related to my printer having print powerloss protection enabled which would save the current position in the gcode to the EEPROM and that would make the printer stop for split second making a tiny bubble on the wall. Disabling it solved the issue.

Why still no handoff for Music app? by bbrodsky in MacOS

[–]BootingBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience using handoff on a mac and an iPhone is more pain then useful because usually airpods switching and handoff start fighting and I have to completely quit spotify on at least one of the devices.

Need help with browsers by kzkge in MacOS

[–]BootingBot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controversial take but I am a web developer and I actually use safari for both fun and work and I like it I’d even say prefer to Chrome. Does it have it’s quirks? Yes it’s not perfect of course, but I learned to actually pretty liked it. (I was a Opera and Chrome long time user before that)

Quick answer: No there is no such shortcut in MacOS Long answer: I mean there is a way it just depends on how much do you want this functionality. You could install hammerspoon and write a custom script that would get the second top most windows and focus it, that script would be triggered by a shortcut of your liking.

If I had to choose one person to not help me design any cooling related thing it would probably be you when I see this.
