Yes, I've found that, generally, I have to watch at least three YouTube videos to become a true expert.
Will Rogers never met me.

Hey all, long time passive viewer of all things CP, but especially the Daily Insider. Over the last ~10 days I haven't had one Daily Insider come through, which means ... withdrawal symptoms . Looks like I'm still subscribed, and not going to Spam, so I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Cheers

It has been reported there for at least a week. It looks like Kent is out of commission for some reason. Not sure what.

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no idea
Clearly I'm not the only one struggling with this

Same here! I'm also going through withdrawal. I verified it's not come in for me since August 29th. What's up?

Have you paid your daily subscription?

Same, and just like last week, I did receive the weekly newsletter.
I'm taking for granted whoever writes the Daily Insider ("Ken"?) took some time off. Strictly speaking, it's still summer.

After a ton of work hacking away at plutovg and integrating its functionality, I came up with this API
using color_t = color<TYPE>;
const int width = 80;
const int height = 80;
bmp = create_bitmap<TYPE>(size16(width,height));
bmp.fill(bmp.bounds(),color_t::blue);
float center_x = width / 2.f;
float center_y = height / 2.f;
float face_radius = 35;
float eye_radius = 5;
float mouth_radius = 25;
float eye_offset_x = 12;
float eye_offset_y = 10;
float eye_x = center_x - eye_offset_x;
float eye_y = center_y - eye_offset_y;
canvas c(size16(width,height));
c.on_write_callback([](const rect16& bounds, rgba_pixel<32> color, void* state){
return bmp.fill(bounds,color);
});
c.on_read_callback([](point16 location,rgba_pixel<32>* out_color, void* state){
return bmp.point(location,out_color);
});
c.initialize();
c.arc({center_x,center_y},face_radius,0,math::two_pi,0);
c.fill_color(color_t::yellow);
c.stroke_color(color_t::black);
canvas_stroke_style style = c.stroke_style();
style.width = 5;
c.stroke_style(style);
c.render();
c.arc({eye_x,eye_y},eye_radius,0,math::two_pi,false);
c.arc(pointf(eye_offset_x+center_x,eye_y),eye_radius,0,math::two_pi,false);
c.stroke_paint_type(canvas_paint_type::none);
c.fill_color(color_t::black);
c.render();
c.arc({center_x,center_y},mouth_radius,0,math::pi,0);
c.fill_paint_type(canvas_paint_type::none);
c.render();
print_ascii(bmp);
free(bmp.begin());
This draws a smiley face, all pretty and anti-aliased.
Unfortunately it's more complicated to use than I'd like owing to all the capabilities and options.
Either way, I'm thrilled to have gotten this far. I had to gut plutovg, and I'll probably do more.

Unless I am way off in the left field , mistaken, did "Code project" instructions "how to reply" included
" do not reply with "Google it" , the OP probably already did that"...
Am I wrong?
Please JUST confirm - there are more pleasant things in life than to dwell on something which cannot be rectified.
Of course for challenged , hard to hear "contributor" , it would not make any difference anyway.

Google it.

The rant is a perfectly valid post for the lounge.
I am not blaming, only correcting, you

Still... there is a lot of times where the poster gives the impression of not having done efford with the issue or even writing the question. I am not telling your case is this case, only that, for me that's a perfectly valid situation to answer with it.

I can't speak for everyone else, but IMO the problem is... you refused to stop asking programming questions the lounge and you don't construct posts coherently. I'm not sure if English is your native language or not (says you live in the US on your profile), but if people can't make heads or tails out of your posts without needing a cryptogram decoder, it generally doesn't end well.
And I'm not saying there's no merit to wishing for a better quality of replies to questions. But certainly, two wrongs don't make a right. That doesn't mean you can't do better at articulating your questions.

no , I am not native English person
and (if you read) the forum rules they are pretty explicit , clear about how to respond to apparently non English speaking person. And furthermore - there is something in "rules" to help and not to make the poster feel stupid...( it may be OK for you to accept "Google it" , but if that is THE ONLY reply I keep getting from specific "contributor" it makes me feel stupid and unwelcome )
But you comment is in-line with "it is users fault", hence the introduction was , IMHO, just
" empty filler ".
But is it your choise , style to post and my reaction ,reply to it should be my choice
and OK.
(But from my experience here it is risky for me ti post this)

Seems to me you enjoy arguing with those who could help. I have read the rules and you are correct about being patient with non-native English speakers, but your incoherency has less to do with your English and more to do with lack of effort. That's why you get "google it" answers. You put zero effort into the question.
ALSO YOUR ATTITUDE COMES ACROSS EASY. I can't imagine ever working with some as argumentative as you. SO... YA KNOW... MAYBE YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING.

You are native english speaker and sometimes I do not understand what you write either
