Thanks :)

For the first point, yeah I agree, though I would still keep standard API documentation separated. And it gets "worse" when you add the 4th site: https://code.haxe.org which helps with 4th point (partly?).

Tricky thing with guides like "how to make a game" is that it's not a haxe-specific thing; it's a haxe framework specific thing which they handle on their own: https://haxeflixel.com/documentation/, https://heaps.io/documentation/home.html, https://github.com/Kode/Kha/wiki (is there a better link for kha?), etc. There are links in https://haxe.org/use-cases/games/ but discoverability could likely be much better and include a generic "how to make a game" start point which points to either framework depending on your needs (2D/3D, mobile/desktop/console/web, etc.).

Indeed Haxelib isn't visible :x Now that you mention it, we had a few haxe newcomers that didn't know about it. We need to do something about that (even if it might get a replacement in the near-ish future https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues/9135)

Good point about std lib docs too! Some, maybe including MainLoop, are harder for community to document but we should ask help from core compiler devs.

I agree. Such a project exists [0] but will need more work, and workforce is quite limited.

Do you have concrete examples of things that are missing? We are aware that documentation is generally lacking, but it's not easy to see exactly how/where from inside. Would gladly contribute on such a list.

Anyone got a similar study with purchasing power for 1 hour of work on minimum wage?

Update: The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented. Posted Jun 08, 2021 - 10:44 UTC

Seems like this is being resolved; curious to see the details afterwards

Not after you post it, but by infecting your device before you make that message, and tampering when you place it in the Bitcoin chain

My partner and me kinda did it: we are both at 90%, taking every other wednesday to take turns taking care of our child. It's really worth it, and the pay cut is manageable.

> You can have instant access to information, but processing can still take time.

You likely have processing power in your pocket. With efficient brain-to-computer and computer-to-brain interfaces, the processing part could be taken care of too; just externalized.

We would probably end up being a lot _worse_ at things like arithmetic though, since we'd use external processing for even more things (I do believe we're already loosing in things like memory and simple processing by having access to a smartphone at all times).

I do hope too, and it seems so to me. At least the product seems real, they're sending updates on the board etc. they're building. And their previous products are real ones, with users right here on this thread.

Also, the overall design changed a bit since those pictures were made. They had some issue with the processor not being available anymore iirc, and they made some changes. Changes including a significantly smaller battery, and we all complained about it so they went back to the original battery _but_ with a thicker phone.

I still have some doubts. I have a blackberry keyone that I loved but that is half broken since a bike accident so I have to replace it. And a linux phone (with multi boot to android in case linux isn't up to the task for a phone, which I doubt a little) seemed like a good replacement. But portrait keyboard, and blackberry's keyboard quality might be a lot better than this solution.. I wish they didn't stop making blackberry (on android) phones after keytwo =/

Not sure if that's still true, but a few months ago when I ordered mine early bird had always 0~3 in stock and they added some back the day after it sold out, every time. Check again tomorrow if you're interested but only at a discount.

Seems like we're looking for similar things. I am currently waiting for delivery of my Astro Slide [0]

> Would Git be a better program if the project directory was passed as an argument rather than as inherited state (the cwd)? (IDK.)

Well, it can do both :) `--git-dir=<path>` will let you run git for another project directory

I worked with them on that a few years back. I think they're still using haxe on some smart device projects but not all, sadly (easier to find devs with a typescript codebase..).

I don't think Nicolas worked with them, though. I'm one of Haxe contributors but I don't suppose you were thinking of me.

Do you also hire remote workers? Not that working in Copenhagen isn't thrilling but moving home is not really an option for me atm.

Have you tried posting in haxe forums [0], posting [1] a job offer to be published in haxe roundups [2], or coming to haxe discord [3]?

Some not-so-tiny games as cited in sibling comments. Also some web applications; I've been pushing some to production for 6 years now.

Other random uses:

- lua target for a pokemon game, probably for scripting (no word from devs, just saw the licences)

- a video player made by feds to catch pedocriminals a couple years ago

- livejasmin (warning: NSFW!) is using it for its frontend (via docler holding) on a top 50 website

It's called pattern matching. You see it a lot in functional languages, not so much in others. Haxe mostly borrowed it from ocaml.

> How does this work, do you code and specify a target output?

Indeed. You can specify multiple targets on multiple builds if your code is compatible with all of them (which happens without too much work when working with libs that do the abstraction for you, like openfl or heaps -- and yeah, that's mostly for games).

They can use "headers include random things" as a filter like they do with other headers presence/absence/value already. I don't think defining "random things" would be too hard for them.

It might just be some easy to ignore noise.

Worst thing is, unless this is used by a very large chunk of the population, it would even be another tool to identify you.

Should be possible, I just don't know how

They deployed a bugged service worker long ago (beginning of 2020 or something), but service workers can be hard to replace because they tamper with requests and cache. "Technically" it's been fixed in production for a while, but it doesn't propagate so many still have the bug.. Still seems very strange to me that they allowed this situation to happen for such a huge (in traffic) website.

Not sure how exactly the service worker was broken (I didn't have the curiosity to check in devtools, and now it's gone), but I had this exact same issue and saw other people having it right here on HN, and this was the way to solve it too.

You need to clear your service workers for twitter

Edit:

- on chrom(e|ium) based browsers: chrome://serviceworker-internals/

- on firefox: about:debugging and scroll to service workers section

Eh, I actually like this :D Unfolding [0] is quite something, I'd love to see this in video format

> I don't print anything anymore.

I wish =/ Most of the documents I have to print are documents to be printed, signed, and scanned again (or sent by mail - not email).

Some (including my employer) still don't accept anything else than signature on real paper somehow.. Luckily I have a "re-purpose device" at home (a young child with a huge appetite for drawings), but I'd still like to avoid this waste.

I didn't test Philips ones, but bought a simple one for a fraction of their price for Little One to help her know when it's ok to get up.

It was really a game changer, it only wakes her when her sleep is light (we go in there ~10 minutes after if we have a timing to follow, or let her finish her sleep if not) and she stopped getting up at random times.

Now thinking about getting something similar for us too :)

It wouldn't have to be some form of virus to be deadly though, right? Something like prions or unlike anything we know could be equally (or more) deadly to us or even all life on earth. Our imagination is quite limited in this domain and well let's hope it stays this way..

(not that I find any such scenario to be even remotely likely)

Edit: well, that's basically what's being said in a parent comment

Yeah, I often hear about how much better font rendering is on windows and MacOS but I actually find them to be inferior to the clean font rendering I have on linux; blurry red & blue around my text is really not the definition of beautiful text to me, but I suppose this is about taste..

Not sure about that, even if I have to admit correlation is quite strong in this case.

Firefox decline in the past decade can also be partly credited by chrome eating the world. Firefox has a huge responsibility too because it became bad (at least performance wise?) at some point (or was it a little over 10 years ago?) and lost users because of this and has trouble recovering even if it has become better at this again, because people either moved on, embraced chrome (or a chromium-based browser) or I don't know what.

I want mozilla to survive and can't really say I support them if I don't use firefox so I came back to firefox after years using vivaldi. But I can see myself going back to vivaldi any time actually. I'm missing vivaldi features, firefox is slower for some/many use cases (mostly because things have been optimized for chrome).

I want to believe but I don't see how firefox can get back its market share. Now everything you build for the web has to be optimized for chrome, many don't even care if it is utterly broken on firefox because it's so niche.

They should just call it "Bang" or "Bangs" and be done with it :)

Nice!

I mostly know [1] which is a similar tool, maybe with some more emphasis on aesthetics. What kind of features (if any, but I'd guess there are) makes Dungeon Map Doodler different?

Do you have links to provide about this? I'd like to read more
