  • About… Fuck… Over a decade ago, I was working on a Windows CE handheld and as we were coming all from Linux, we decided for the newly released QML Qt port

    It was an absolute nightmare…

    I found 3-4 people worldwide having the same problem with the port.

    2 russian, 1 Chinese and I sadly don’t remember the last one

    We were all in the same forum trying to exchange with translations tools available.
    Until we found out, that the original contributor made its folder structure part of the Qt build system and you needed to build a path of nearly 20 fucking folders to cross compile this shit

    I’m still emotionally connected to my fellow coders, who were just as confused as I was, and I never found this situation again

    But it brought me back to the early days of the internet and I really enjoyed it

    Edit: as I’m getting old, it could have been more than a decade…




  • Can someone enlighten me, how to debounce without causing latency?

    In the article, he only says “Now, how to debounce without adding latency has become common knowledge”, and I have absolutely no clue how that should work

    Edit: seems they just wait for the signal edge and ignore any signal “jumping” for some time afterwards
    Probably works ok/good with keyboards, but not with every application of debouncing







  • I’m with you

    With 16 I had such a 50ccm dirt bike (so nothing to compare to a real motorbike) and if missed the bus to school, I needed to drive with in those 25km

    In spring and autumn this was fine, but in winter…
    Once I just fell off it at the end of the ride, because I was too stiff to get move my legs accordingly.

    As I was young and dumb, I obviously wore some jeans, but still, in low temperatures and shitty weather it just sucks to be that exposed to the elements
