The official documentation isn't 100% clear on things (why am I getting LUA_TNIL for functions?), and the best I can find with some simple web search is kinda relevant stackoverflow (🤮) posts, except they're mostly about calling host functions from Lua side, the rest are things that seem I've nailed so far.

EDIT: Solution was that everyone was using luaL_dofile, while I was forward thinking and used lua_load instead, which isn't a macro, and as such doesn't do an initial lua_pcall. Now I do it manually, and now I get different, but less cryptic and actually documented errors. Now I just have to wrestle with D metaprogramming features (very strong and capable, but is a rabbit hole itself).

Note: It is unknown if the singer has more work or not (if wink wink isn't a band name), and I likely suspect this was used as a one-off pseudonym for the project, which is standard among Japanese (?) singers.

After a software update, VS2022 stopped working correctly. When I hit a break point, I don't get any local variables and their values, instead I get a "wait..." label that looks like a button, and also VS is growing in memory size until it crashes my Windows, or I either stop the debugging or VS itself.

So far I get the best results by using x64dbg, but it has it's own issues, namely that almost all guides only discuss its reverse engineering capabilities, and I need a development tool, so I don't have to rely on printing to the console as debugging, which has a lot of issues (leaving in the print commands, etc). I'm programming in D, but it should work with any other debugger made for C, and up until recently I used VS for that purpose.

I have this very non-standard event loop for an input-output library. It has issues with processing and receiving certain messages. I'm only getting input language change messages by doing certain tricks (usually by changing the input method on the taskbar, then moving the window), but even then it often makes my app hanging. I also don't get any device handles from raw input messages (always null, even with devices that supposed to have all time). It's like if some other function calls, that would make things work as should, aren't mentioned in the MS documentation, and is just assumed it's common knowledge. Similar thing happened to me with SDL, when I was pulling my hair for not being able to get audio working, I even wrote my alternative library, then someone told me it's common knowledge that you should call yet another function before starting the audio stream, except none of the few existing tutorials mentioned it (most just recommended you to use existing sound playback libraries instead of doing your own thing), and the documentation wasn't clear on it (by not clear, it did not mention explicitly, other than being named prepareAudioStream or something).

After a very long while, I was able to finish v0.10.0 for the most part. Next I'll be writing some testcases for the currently untested features, then replace SDL2 with my own solution (iota), then move most of the rendering to the GPU.

I'm likely on a yet another burnout cycle, and I have little to no possibility of meeting with people thanks to the place I live. I also have trouble with socializing in general, even in online spaces.

Since my current job I don't make enough to move or to live alone, and the only better place would cost me more than the Hungarian minimum wage (of which I make less than thanks to labor programs 🤢), I cannot really change this, also would only marginally help me since I always had issues with socializing.

Here's the situation:

• I work at an institution as a desk clerk in Hungary's infamous employment program, that barely pays (half of minimum wage to keep the other employees wage barely above minimum), and with very limited leave days. Only 20 days paid, no unpaid leave for "work moral" reasons (!!!), and the doctors barely give out any sick leaves (none for regular check ups!).
• My paid leaves are tied until the kitchen gets rebuilt, due to then they would have to put one of the maintenance guys in my place.
• I'm disabled. I have autism, which makes this kind of work extremely stressful to me, which made even harder by the attitude many Hungarians have towards any office work. In addition I also have epilepsy, and my medication has really strong side effects, many of which are so bad that I should have been given different medication, except my doctor refuses to see me. In theory, I could get some benefits with my autism, but I would have to go through very invasive and humiliating tests to "make sure I'm not lying about my disability" (long story short: Fidesz won the 2010 election on the moral panic of "welfare queens", because far-right websites found Mercedeses with disability cards). Nothing for the epilepsy stuff though, even if my medication messes up my sleep cycle and it alone disallows me to drive cars, which limits my job options.

On this Saturday (tomorrow) my boss asked me to get to work, because of a "family day", for no real pay and no additional leaves, especially not for a month at least, because the aforementioned construction work. We will have even more visitors than usual, and live music (which is popular songs sang and played very badly on a keyboard). I'm already very tired and stressed out due to my low tolerance for this kind of work, and on top of it, I have extra home responsibiities on the weekend. However, she negs me to come.

I help whenever I can. I gave them computer equipment as they're not allowed to spend money on it, or else they would anger the main Fidesz voter base by spending money on "Playstations". I have stayed on many occassions when I was needed. However, tomorrow, I can't.

Should I lie about a terrible headache and/or a food poisoning? She wrote in a few paid leaves for such occassions before, so this should work.

Screen is completely black, so good luck with the USB OTG mouse trick. Phone is a Galaxy A8 (2018).

My old broken earphones started to fall apart, and I need something to replace it.
