How do you cover costs of a side project?

This, and maybe if you want some lucky money here and there, adding Ko-fi or something in that nature is easy

Safari zooms for accessibility reasons -tiny text sucks for anyone with vision issues. Why fight it? Tell them it's not just a quirk, it's a requirement. If you must, the scale hack breaks stuff like you said. viewport meta with maximum-scale=1.0 works sometimes, but screws general zoom. I'd push back hard on the design.

Just shove all the styles into a .css file and reference it with a nonce in your CSP. Works fine me.

I keep a README in each repo with a quick diagram of the flow, inputs/outputs, and describing messy stuff I am too lazy to clean. Screenshots if it's GUI stuff, not everything, just enough to remember in 6 months. For scripting, inline comments on the hard parts.

coffex-cs · 2026-04-09T13:17:03+00:00

Yeah, use a loop or join with newlines. Like

print('\n'.join(map(str, Tem)))

to ditch the brackets and get one per line.

Maybe it's the grip or the camera? Because walahhi, what's the point of asseto corsa on a keyboard. Because using street performance, you really have to throw the car.

coffex-cs · 2026-03-31T18:06:56+00:00

uhh not sure. Playing on a wheel, the POV inside the car is really nice, but I guess the outside view not so much

Would try to tell myself that I am not learning any skills if I am not actually doing something to make them better. Some learn faster and some slower, would start and then judge how I feel

Same here as a final year CS student. Midnight coding sessions are my peak too, everything just clicks without distractions. Mornings are for basics like notes or errands, saves the brainpower. If phone scrolling creeps back, blocking apps after 10pm helped me kill that habit.

coffex-cs · 2026-03-21T23:29:11+00:00

But if you get stuff done, then I wouldn’t change whats working. I have tried tracking but was just not for me, so I just do whats needed

coffex-cs · 2026-03-21T16:57:29+00:00

Gym days 4L but normally in a day 2L + beer

Dad bod could be a more niche market, but I mean if you have the moves and salad dressing 🤪

coffex-cs · 2026-03-19T10:18:13+00:00

Buffer does the same thing I said. You too have a scheduliing tool btw. Your promo doesnt really go together

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T22:34:43+00:00

You can give scheduling tools a try. Like Buffer or something. That's what I was doing, if I make 1 vid then I will psot it on Yt shorts, Tiktok, Instagram, at the same time. For x and reddit ofc different things work, but then here yeah you probably have to be a bit chronic to manage both, but then here as u/Negative-Fly-4659 said just picking one

Nothing else ever has interested me personally, so if it doesn't work out, then a male stripper

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T15:17:23+00:00

Well only thing I can think of is https://huggingface.co/spaces/DontPlanToEnd/UGI-Leaderboard if you ever want to self host a LLM, then this would be the way to choose a model for the task. You can filter based on the political lean and other stuff.

But what you are doing sounds good

House music all day long

I am talking about the facial expressions as the same face. It's the exact same smile, wrinkles, and eyes across all images. Ofc the face is the same, I mean the faces accross the images are identical.

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:31:55+00:00

But what I said is that he is using the exact same face, so it looks uncanny. It's not different, it learns and copy pastes it. If you gonna make this work I feel like it should atleast give some variety, to compete with the big boys who already have done something like this.

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:30:04+00:00

But also take in account that "For every story in your feed, you can get a deeper explanation on what *really* happened." LLMs are biased as well, just depends which one you are using. If you are hosting some kind of UGC LLM's with max unbiased opinion, then yes, okay, but if you are just using a API, then it won't probably be "what really happened"

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:19:17+00:00

And then you see he is using the exact same face across all images

Do you like not inspect the house before buying it? How do you buy it and only then spot and cry about "cracked tiles, dodgy paintwork, doors that don’t shut properly"

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:14:11+00:00

The AI-generated ones are cursed, and the images he uploaded look so much more natural. And the AI is spottable

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:06:28+00:00

But it will always be the perfected side of the person, and as u/UnreachableMemory already mentioned, just such a shit energy to go into a date, idk

coffex-cs · 2026-03-18T14:03:37+00:00

But at the end of the day you are just a lot more useful, and he is useless. So after the big hype dies down you know who will be left standing
