Mr.Waggel's blog Some tutorials, code-snippets and helpful things

Problem:

You probably want to tell users on your page to wait for something important that is happening in the background. Most likely performing asynchronous page calls, calculations, DOM manipulation etc...

But just like any CSS property, the nested elements override the parent's property. This is troublesome if you have a lot of buttons and custom cursors in your style.

The steam store page of Tropico 6 states that the minimum amount of RAM of the graphics card should be 2GB.

However I was surprised that my GTX750 with only 1GB of RAM managed to play the game quite smoothly. Do note I had to turn the settings down to an average of medium to high, and accept the fair resolution of 1600x900.

On these settings I achieved a comfortable 50 - 60 fps, which is pleasing enough if you don't want to upgrade your card and just enjoy the game. Lowering the resolution noticeably improved the frame rate, but the final image becomes blurry, even with full anti-aliasing.

The limiting factor of playing on a 1GB card is the resolution.

TL;DR

Yes, playable!
On GTX750 1GB:

• max resolution 1600*900
• medium settings
• average fps 50-60

In Go it is possible to check if any pointer to an initialized struct has a given method or field. The use of this is to make sure that you can call a given method, or access a given field without receiving a runtime panic.

In this blogpost I'll show you one of the many ways to serialize structures in Go.

In this small tutorial I'll show you how to use CAPTCHA validation inside your application. We won't be using the builtin CAPTCHA of Beego but instead use another package of GitHub user dchest, and his package captcha.

The official documentation on using sessions in Beego is besides being outdated quite unclear. I'll show you how to use sessions inside your Beego application.
