@hellpie wow holy shit that is terrifying. does that mean the 7000 and 9000 series wear out faster than other CPUs?

I just went into my BIOS and gave the CPU fan a more aggressive curve and I’m hoping that will help, but it’s kinda reassuring to hear that this is supposed to happen - it’s not something that I did wrong

awww my CPU is getting up to 94°F that’s really scary 😨 apparently anything above 90° means you need to immediately change something. I already have a massive CPU cooler though so I don’t know what the problem is? maybe I used too little, or too much thermal paste?

I’m going to open up my case and make sure that the two CPU cooler fans are pointed the right way but I’m like 95% sure that they are

for reference:

I Won Mr. Beast’s $1,000,000 Youtuber Challenge (CW: there’s a gross part of this animation involving spit)

Fighting in Mr Beast’s $100k Youtuber Battle Royale

I was almost in “Squid Game: The Challenge”

I love how JaidenAnimations is able to consistently win gameshow type competitions by literally just being really meek and risk-averse and blending into the background

everyone else - sooner or later - ends up using aggressive strategies that backfire or bold gambles that don’t pay off and Jaiden is just being socially anxious in the background quietly getting through every challenge until the end lol

@ilobmirt huge same omg. apparently we have a lot more compute now but that doesn’t mean we should just waste it on shitty unoptimized UI code lol

I have never seen 3-digit framerates in Minecraft in my entire life until this moment. it’s beautiful

I see why most people don’t care whether something is electron or not lol - Discord isn’t even that bad anymore when it was fucking painful before. like 200ms jittery input lag just to scroll up a page

@ilobmirt yess it was! I’m typing this on my new computer right now and everything runs so much better; it’s crazy

I got scared for a little while because it wouldn’t turn on, but that’s because I forgot to plug in the CPU power lol

holy shit are electron apps so much more tolerable when you aren’t using a CPU from 13 years ago

the EU "Stop Killing Games" initiative is doing a great job for video games. We need something the same for home automation devices and cars and stuff:

omg I have been asking for this for over a decade and finally there’s a Creation/GameBryo game where you can adjust your damage and enemy damage separately in the difficulty options. they finally added that to Oblivion Remastered, no mods needed

STOP DOING MATH meme except it's STOP USING FLOATING POINTS with this list I copied off of wikipedia

There are three kinds of operations that can return NaN:

• Most operations with at least one NaN operand.
• Indeterminate forms:
  • The divisions (±0) / (±0) and (±∞) / (±∞).
  • The multiplications (±0) × (±∞) and (±∞) × (±0).
  • Remainder x % y when x is an infinity or y is zero.
  • The additions (+∞) + (−∞), (−∞) + (+∞) and equivalent subtractions (+∞) − (+∞) and (−∞) − (−∞).
  • The standard has alternative functions for powers:
    • The standard pow function and the integer exponent pown function define 00, 1∞, and ∞0 as 1.
    • The powr function defines all three indeterminate forms as invalid operations and so returns NaN.
  • Real operations with complex results, for example:
    • The square root of a negative number.
    • The logarithm of a negative number.
    • The inverse sine or inverse cosine of a number that is less than −1 or greater than 1.

Here @ddrake gets at something important: programming languages aren’t just a pile of syntax and features. They have context, motivations, idioms, expectations, communities. These things are all interrelated; in fact, they are all •part of the language•. And they are the things a language guide should communicate.

@tempest yeah there wasn’t a single <button> tag in sight. just lots and lots of divs for a very simple-looking button

a single button in a React app

*looks inside*

14 divs

@endali oohh you look really good in the rest of these pics too! I love that lace shirt as well - honestly the whole outfit is amazing 💙 thanks for telling me that this was a thread - I completely missed that and it’s been fun going through these pics and seeing what you’ve been up to

and aww no problem! I love telling you when you look amazing. I hope someday to be able to have this kind of wardrobe and fashion sense, and go to cool alt events like you. though maybe not necessarily goth - I think some goth music sounds pretty cool (I love She Wants Revenge and Joy Division has some great songs too) but it’s not my main genre

I think this is my favorite pic. the flash glaring and reflecting off of the metal is so beautifully harsh; it looks like it’s from an early 2000’s music video
