What agony do worktrees cause? I’ve found them nice to work with

Toast Toast are temporary notifications that provide concise feedback about an action or event.

Because the chat bot goes in the bottom right, obviously

And indeed, toasts can come from any edge

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

Made an assembly stepper! I got annoyed at how large video files are, so built a web version. I'm probably going to skip the video bit and just make an interactive blog

It will look less gross soon I promise

Congrats!

I always wonder if I should go for it (I have no degrees), but the price and homework always put me off

What made you want to go for a masters/CS degree in general as opposed to self study?

Would you mind explaining why? Is used to defend extremes like reading a whole large file into memory?

But can confirm, battery lasts like a day and a half on 17 pro, compared to half a day on my 13 mini

I can’t believe I was living like that

I’ve been told my iPhone 17 pro mic is not that good. The iPhone X mic a friend has is way better for whatever reason. I can’t imagine there are many settings to tweak

Also to be fair have no clue how the one plus mic sounds, this is just audio weenies complaining about my mic on discord ha

Results for use state. There is a green bar and a red bad underneath blue bars that say 47% and 51%

Results for use state. There is a green bar and a red bad underneath blue bars that say 47% and 51%

I have no clue how to read these graphs, could you give me a quick breakdown if you get the time?

I tried clicking the bars and they just change color a bit. I may have missed the explanation

I died inside watching someone click every box on their discord bot perms to fix a perms issue

They made it really annoying to do that, but if there’s a will, there’s a way

Thank you for the explanation! I knew generally about color spaces having wider ranges than some others before, but this really puts it into perspective!
