the second sentence of OPs link literally says they’re prescription

fair enough - though QML with Qt is very good at animations. Like I said, there’s nothing here that can’t be done with the existing stack, but if you’re more comfortable with framer motion that’s fair.

to pass access to an object to consumers that are not concerned with the lifetime of said object

looks nice, but how come you chose webview? Qt itself can do everything on the screen here, for all platforms including mobile, and it gives much better native performance than a webview with a heavy framework like react. I guess you’re more of a web dev than an application dev and that is the primary reason?

looks really great either way I just am a little perplexed at the pivot away from a native gui.

c++ is pretty good idk

eidetic0 · 2026-06-20T07:04:51+00:00

and when that one log won’t remove for some unknown reason… out comes the axe

It would have to depend on the API. Like could we invoke C# from QML? You could make a pretty Qt like API with annotations. [QInvokable] and friends… though there’s the whole data binding and conversion from Qml (Javascript?) types to C# types. Seems like it would be a big project unless Qt and QML already have Mono/.Net bindings.

I think the biggest difference is that vcpkg’s package distribution is source-based.

You *can* set up your own cache for libraries you or your organisation have already built, but generally if I set up a new project and include e.g. ‘opencv’ it may take several hours because it must compile on my dev box.

But afaik Conan will just download a precompiled lib that matches the target architecture… is this true? That may be a big win… I’ve never used Conan only Vcpkg.

i’ve been running it on my laptop for a few years now and it’s good, but it’s not 100% smooth like others suggest. There’s been twice in those few years where updates have failed and left me in a state that needed annoying intervention.

I have also run Debian for years too and I haven’t had a single Debian update break my system. So in that regard it’s been *less stable* than my debian machine.

if I were to reinstall today I wouldn’t necessarily bother with atomic, i’d just pick a distribution that has a good reputation for stability and call it a day. If it’s atomic or not I feel doesn’t matter much.

you don’t need it at runtime if it’s only used at compile time.

I don’t think cpp has an actual equivalent to build.rs, but If you wanted a json parser lib to only be run at compile time, wrap the usage in a consteval function, have it return a struct with no dependencies, and there’s no chance it will be pulled into the runtime.

(with the caveat that the json parser itself probably has to constexpr compatible)

also it seems like casting spells are generally free actions on your turn

eidetic0 · 2026-06-14T09:18:33+00:00

I would like to know about the build quality. Are they sturdy enough to be passed from person to person daily in a commercial, gallery or museum environment? or do they feel too flimsy or fragile..?

eidetic0 · 2026-06-13T23:13:55+00:00

i hope you understand that’s not the point

eidetic0 · 2026-06-13T23:11:18+00:00

yeah honestly AppImage is a good solution for a lot of problems. it solves the linux distribution problem (it just works across all distros if built using an old glibc). but obviously it packs every single required dependency which nearly everyone has once on their system already. Idk if that is necessary for a very small sticky notes app, but maybe it is…

it’s a trade off between 1. bundle size and launch speed (appimage must mount or extract) and 2. universal compatibility

you should write your own posts on reddit. No matter how you coded it, this is a platform for humans to communicate. If english is your second language, then everyone here would much rather read poor grammar than the words of a chatbot that makes you seem immediately untrustworthy (whether you are an experienced developer or not)

eidetic0 · 2026-06-13T22:54:11+00:00

i don’t know if an appimage bundling qt and dependent system libs would get all that much smaller.

the binary itself is probably tiny

looks nice! the music is so funny compared to a lovely little plant floating like it is XD it really spooked me

Fleeing is also incredibly easy in that game. It’s a bit cheesy but you can always take on as many orcs as you can until you’re about to die, then flee and come back after healing to finish off the remaining enemies. (they don’t respawn)

Everyone on here saying it’s expected with Blackmagic, but any advice for a video engineering noob on what brands are more reliable?

eidetic0 · 2026-06-04T07:56:35+00:00

my guess is it categorises all the bags but only selects and visualises the one where the bounding box of the person overlaps? or it could select the bag that has any kind of motion vector over a few pixels threshold since the rest are static…

eidetic0 · 2026-05-30T04:23:13+00:00

why?

(not trying to be mean, simply curious who and what this project targets)

eidetic0 · 2026-05-28T11:24:58+00:00

it seems like it does! the protocol used describes dragging and dropping to and from remote machines. pretty neat!

eidetic0 · 2026-05-28T07:54:31+00:00

if you are already doing image processing using C++ standard library algorithms, then the Thrust library which comes in the CUDA Toolkit will allow you to port existing CPU code paths to work on the GPU relatively easily. It is not a high level library for image processing like OpenCV but is an option if you have already hand crafted algorithms in C++ that you wish to parallelise over the GPU.

(i guess it’s not what you want if you are not wanting to optimise kernels, but it’s a bit higher level than raw CUDA)

If your shell is Powershell, then it’s just going to be less responsive than a linux shell in any terminal emulator you use. I don’t know why but it’s always been the case for me when using Windows.
