I got Paxlovid and it actually seemed to help a lot with the stamina levels. - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You have done well HTW In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I have a book, a collection called "Great Short Stories of the English Speaking World" (or something like that) whose foreword explains that writing a great short story is far harder than writing a great novel. Perhaps the principle is more widely applicable than I thought!

I predict that in about two weeks you're going to post about how you wish you had saved it this code because suddenly you had a need to look at it again. :-D

Consider it lucky that she likes to watch from your shoulders as opposed to lying across your keyboard! The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Oh, don't worry. I'm left wanting in several topics. :) Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

I was playing with XNA a long time ago and was doing a space thing where multiple transparent images of stars would be stacked to do parallax. The images were screen sized. They would wrap the screen so if the focal point (player) went a pixel left, the far right column of pixels would wrap to the left. This gets more complicated on diagonals. I had to grab a ruler and mark up a physical sheet of paper to work out the code for how to cut the rectangles and glue them back together in real time so that one image could be infinitely scrolled any direction.

This particular code is really complicated. Look at this mess typedef struct NSVGattrib { char id[64]; float xform[6]; gfx::rgba_pixel<32> fillColor; gfx::rgba_pixel<32> strokeColor; float opacity; float fillOpacity; float strokeOpacity; char fillGradient[64]; char strokeGradient[64]; float strokeWidth; float strokeDashOffset; float strokeDashArray[NSVG_MAX_DASHES]; int strokeDashCount; svg_line_join strokeLineJoin; svg_line_cap strokeLineCap; float miterLimit; svg_fill_rule fillRule; float fontSize; gfx::rgba_pixel<32> stopColor; float stopOpacity; float stopOffset; char hasFill; char hasStroke; char visible; } NSVGattrib; using reader_t = ml_reader_ex<2048>; struct svg_css_class { char selector[512]; char* value; svg_css_class* next; }; struct svg_parse_result { reader_t* reader; svg_css_class* css_classes; svg_css_class* css_class_tail; void* (*allocator)(size_t); void* (*reallocator)(void*, size_t); void (*deallocator)(void*); char lname[32]; char aname[512]; char avalue[512]; char style_val[256]; char class_val[128]; char* d; size_t d_size; NSVGattrib attr[NSVG_MAX_ATTR]; int attrHead; float* pts; int npts; int cpts; svg_path* plist; size_t image_size; svg_image_info* image; NSVGgradientData* gradients; svg_shape* shapesTail; float viewMinx, viewMiny, viewWidth, viewHeight; int alignX, alignY, alignType; float dpi; char pathFlag; char defsFlag; }; I highlighted the portion of the inner structure I forgot to initialize (the head attribute, as the rest are copied from that) Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

People still use outlook?? Whatever next? You’ll be telling me next that people actually have a Microsoft account. 🤦

"Much becomes obvious in hindsight, ... Yet it is striking how in both physics and mathematics there is a lack of ­proportion between the effort needed to understand something for the first time and the simplicity and naturalness of the solution once all the required stages have been completed." - Giorgio Parisi, recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics

I like having "my babies" like my graphics library that even has its own website, and lasts from project to project. I find it satisfying to work on them, so I am glad I have the opportunity to do so.
