Vibe coder & tech explorer. Building hardware experiments, scripts & random stuff when hyperfocus hits.
Sometimes I draw

I recently took up chess and decided to push my rating from 1100 to 1500 in just 2 weeks.

The catch: I absolutely hate losing.
It ruins my day and triggers my anxiety.
I’m forcing myself into this challenge to finally callous my mind against failure.

@saloniiio Daily routine

[Dimidium @DimidiumX]

5 losses in a row and I'm done.

I was blundering the stupidest things, just completely losing focus.
I honestly had no idea why I couldn’t see these mistakes before making them.

Rating: 1013 (-89 today).

@Angaisb_ We’re in the local AI era, and custom CPUs are next

@dimden It’s not ready for retirement yet

@Angaisb_ What software you used?

In the end, it just turned into a pointless routine for the sake of emptiness.
Vibe coding speeds up the process, but if there’s no personal interest, you burn out fast. I'll try to find something interesting.

I didn't really like the 'Life in Weeks' project from the start. I only began working on it because I just wanted to build something.
But I'm out of ideas that I actually like, because I easily devalue every single one of them.

I got the idea for my new project when I saw this 'Life in Weeks' chart.
I want to build a personal diary based on this concept because visualizing my life this way makes it so much easier to understand my own journey.

@simoarcher Up close, you can tell it's 3D-printed. But from far enough away, it looks like a factory-made piece. A little bit of polishing, and it's done

@somewheresy Winter is coming, and it's going to drink water mixed with alcohol (the cheapest antifreeze). It's going to get drunk.

@NasNakarus Haha, game with donate system?

@orhundev @ratatui_rs How do you always find such interesting stuff?

[Dimidium @DimidiumX]

Wondering what a developer's job actually look like when they’re away from the laptop.

Optimized the UI in points and zones.
Combined three buttons into a single dropdown menu.

Before \ After

@nisten Its reason why world need open source

[Dimidium @DimidiumX]

@rpavlini It looks like ui from matrix 1999

Day 7 of building my journal based on the "Life in Weeks" chart.

Next up, I've started working on a new feature that allows users to scroll along the entire grid while in focus mode.
There is currently a small bug where the grid suddenly zooms at the edges.

@MilesCranmer It looks beatiful

Day 6 of building my journal based on the "Life in Weeks" chart.

"All" mode is optimized; scrolling in "Focus" mode is smoother.
As a trade-off, I removed interactivity from "All" mode. Rendering 4,170 interactive cells is a bad idea.
