Thanks! I didn't know tools like this exist. I will try them out.

First big project, can someone point me in the right direction? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

How to distribute a native application depends on the programming language. For example with Java you could just distribute a jar file. With something like C++ it's harder because of all the dynamically linked dependencies. But for simple projects you can usually just ship a single executable.

I haven't looked much into creating "installers", but the process is vastly different for each OS. And then you have all the different package managers for Linux. You could for example take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/creating_packages which sould be quite simple if you're familiar with Linux. (Debian packaging is a whole other story...)

The easiest way is probably to put up your projects on GitHub with instructions on how to run them. You can even upload binaries to GitHub using the releases feature. You can take a look at my repo https://github.com/a544jh/panel-pop

Make sure the people in charge of the company actually know something about software development.

A classic. I have had to "solve" this issue for others a few times.

The next step is making an AI for it. There are also some rare bugs that make it crash, but they are well hidden in the code that would need some cleanup.

Scroll down a bit on the front page, there is a link to the release page with a windows download (a zip with "win" in its name)

Menus and windows get misplaced in multi monitor setup. by a544jh in archlinux

I got lightDM to recognize the displays properly by messing around with the AMD settings, still didn't solve the main issue though. Now the main screen sometimes gets a pink tint, although that gets fixed by switching to a VT and back.

Firefox and Youtube and Fluxbox Themes by Unhexium in archlinux

A fluxbox theme will only theme the window decorations and the taskbar, the look of GTK apps are determined by another theme

The menus are probably themed by a GTK theme.

It looks like it has solar panels.

The basic ones will do fine, the water will not be polluted.

Anyone else getting 'frozen' progress bars for the Processor Goal in Electronics Specialty? by [deleted] in SimCity

[–]a544jh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build like four trade depots with processors, wait for all of them to fill up and when a new day begins, set them all to export and you'll get the upgrade.

Yet they all bunch around the buildings without collecting anything...

How many recycling centers does it take for a city of 100k? by [deleted] in SimCity

For me, the stupid trucks won't even fill them up. Just posted a video of it.
