What a bullshit response.

And we help them out for their own sake, so that they can live a life of their own eventually.

I think you forget the fact that his son has 0 ability for self-preservance. In some cases, we may make things that have no chance to exist on their own, persist, but in this case, what does it serve, but our own selfishness?

I believe it's selfish to keep somebody going when they have absolutely 0 ability for self-maintenance.

Seconded. For reference, I have experience with this kind of scenario first hand (helping care, and living with, somebody with dementia combined with complete immobility and many other things making the quality of life for absolutely everyb

The questions would come from reading a paper in particular. Have a question? Ask away. That's how I'd use it personally.

I am aware. I am asserting the distinction there.

Since words have to mean stuff, I would definitely call it immediate mode, it's not trivial at all to hack a generic retained mode UI library into being as flexible to what's on screen as ImGui. A generic retained mode design woul

It does require some state in the back for everything to work as it does.

by cristeigabriel 3y ago
I think it fits, Dear ImGui is the most popular immediate mode GUI, and it's what most people think of when they hear "imgui" even though I've seen people shorten "immediate mode GUI" to "imgui" too.

ImGui supports multiple text rasterizers.

by cristeigabriel 3y ago
Egui is not the "Rust version" of ImGui. There's libraries which allow for ImGui in other languages by applying the hourglass pattern first (making a C api for the C++ api), to allow for the creation of bindings, since most

I believe you mean the (general) transparency of state? But yes, that's quite great when you're getting stuff together quickly. It's even used for more serious stuff, where immediate mode is a necessity.

Seconded!:)

Ask HN: I mastered a trade, how do I keep that up while working towards another?

Do you have something like exceptions and segments? Itd be cool if it didn't IMO (besides for permission situations, I guess)

It makes sense, it's a perfect advertisement of their superiority.

Very nice. A parallel, I've been working on an emulator project recently, implementing my own disassembler, and I keep thinking about how I would turn patterns of machine code into a generalized form, which could then be turned into so

To advertise "finesse of macOS", you should deliver on that

Whilst I agree, it was just a development on what I perceive to be their vision. I address this particular point in another comment in this comment thread.

by cristeigabriel 3y ago
Sure, but I don't think that is the issue here.

by cristeigabriel 3y ago
I think there is a critical error in the judgement you make here, we can see that they advertise[0] the finesse of macOS. But what does this really mean? Let's think about it. But before that, they clearly must be aware that... it&#x27

It just looks bad. You want to be MacOS? Actually go and copy it, as close to pixel perfect as you fancy. I've personally experimented with replicating UIs using just a "device" object to a graphical API, so I know very well

`&&` and `||` are very well defined (for the better part, there's languages where `||` does more than just Logical OR.), this double-not hack is just a hack, and can be achieved in many more ways. Stop trying to be obfuscatingl

This is not the same at all. What OP does is a *hack* to convert some arbitrary value to a number. This should be very explicit, to avoid having 9999999999999999999999999999999999 and 1 more way to do the same thing.
