every so often its obvious when someone comes thru and hasn't clicked back through 8 dead/haunted OP's to figure out what's cool for this thread and what should probably be posted elsewhere

yeah i'd like to see this thread rebooted with some mention of the rules. i'm also not really sure what the rules are anymore. personally, I want to see:

1. a cjs thread for general chit chat
2. terrible programmer safety zone: a safe space for talking about programming/programming adjacent stuff
3. a try hard thread that's for more serious discussion but still chill.

partly, i've felt kinda weird posting my functional programming stuff in here. it feels a little showoff-y, and it's made worse by the fact that i'm not really explaining what's going on or any of the process. but explaining the process is a lot of work and it feels weird to put effort into a thread that's intentionally kinda low effort. but maybe i just need to post in CoC more? i don't really for some reason.

anyhow just because i made one dumb post 5 years ago doesn't give me any right to decide the fate of this thread so what do ya'll think?

Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the fishmech
About my neck was hung.
as a relatively recent returnee to the forums, I think a lotta subforums would make a lot more sense if there were a more explicit

"These are the general rules

This subforum is for X, which makes it different from other subforum which involves X but also Y

These are the evergreen threads and what generally does and doesn't belong in them"

though there's something to be said for the "most context is implicit, figure it out fuckers" approach

i can come add some rules to op? something like

1) general forum, yospos rules apply
2) don’t be a jerk to people for their tech efforts

also keep up the yospos canon such as
- 6.5 figgies means whatever you want it to mean above 100k
- don’t admit to using an anroid (lol)
- everybody is a terrible programmer double especially those who think they’re good at it
- computers were probably a mistake and Turing deserved death not for being gay but for creating them

yeah the current state of things is very confusing. what's the non-blocking library that you're referring to?

It's used in all the embedded crates. I have blocking delays working just fine

I knew it!!

specifically it's the base ui screen class for this dos game which contains all the drawing methods and junk

it gets derived into different screens so I can call MainMenuScreen::Redraw() or whatever and it will draw the main menu by calling DrawRect() and DrawText() a bunch in the base class

I think this is how UIs work idk

'tis thread for general programming chat, but also learning environment and sandbox for any topics in or around programming, without prejudice - however silly or irrelevant any given idea may feel

please mind a few things, namely:

1) forum and yospos rules
2) dont be jerk to people just because they do a coding thing
3) mind your ciclejerks, a lot of this thread is serious questions and advice given

We have all the threads you want and they operate in the way you describe.

1. the CJS thread, get to know the other yosposters
2. this one, help with the newbies
3. The PL (Programming Language) thread, the try hard programming thread
+
The Picture thread for funny computer

These are the 4 main YOSPOS threads IMO that see lots of posts every day, but there are of course all the individual topic threads like Security, Android/Mac/Windows/Google, Buttcoin, Interviewing, SciFi/Fantasy Nerd poo poo, yosqueer hangout


Also it sounds like your FP post should go in the The PL thread where it would be well received by all the PL weenies.
