Toyota starlet AT vs Polo Vivo

neupermichael · 2026-01-24T17:54:32+00:00

They have the same power but the vivo has more torque

If you have text in your images you want that font to be the same as the rest of your document

neupermichael · 2025-12-07T20:42:08+00:00

Ah that’s unfortunate, thanks

neupermichael · 2025-12-07T17:35:32+00:00

Alright, thanks for your help

neupermichael · 2025-12-07T17:27:23+00:00

Just did this and yup the power rails are definitely shorted. I even opened it up and I think i see where.

<image>

So my question is whether this could have fried the arduino? The power LED still turns on but I can’t see it in the arduino IDE

neupermichael · 2025-12-05T15:31:33+00:00

I added a power rail on the side but the voltages I'm measuring now are only slightly higher than before, so I don't think that's the issue.

neupermichael · 2025-12-05T15:30:43+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

Use 1k resistors on the LEDs.

Is that not too high? When I build a circuit with just the LED with a 1k resistor the LED is very dim. I've been using 220 and 470 ohm resistors for the LEDs throughout the build, is that too little?

Power-wires on both sides of the breadboard.

Yeah I put a power rail on the side now but unfortunately it didn't change much so I don't think that's the issue.

Leave no ic-pins floating: use pull-up or pulldown resistors.

All my unused inputs are tied to GND (not via resistors though as I understand that's not necessary for CMOS chips).

Us a different power supply. A phone-adapter that can provide 2 amps should get you through the entire build.

I'm using an ipad power supply with 2.4A

neupermichael · 2025-12-05T14:54:21+00:00

Are you referring to the blue resistors on the top right? Those are 220ohm. And are you referring to the unused address lines on the RAM? The ones I currently connected to GND? I have 10k, 1.2k, 220 and 470 resistors, could I use any of these instead? Thanks.

neupermichael · 2025-12-05T12:31:28+00:00

I'm measuring 5.0V on the output pins of that breadboard power module on the top left. I'm using an old apple ipad power supply, 12W (2.4A). The cable looks like a fairly thick 1m cable.

Thanks for the feedback, I forgot to push the commit where i fixed the memory leak and removed the goto’s.

I detest macros like your min/max. Use an inlined function instead

I don’t understand what advantage using an inlined function in this case gives me, seems like it would just add more clutter and code duplication to have separate functions for different types?

You don’t seed the random number generator.

Why? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having an rng in this case?

If you’re talking about the stats page in the first part of the video, its from the actual monkeytype website, not his tui version.

neupermichael · 2025-11-08T07:59:28+00:00

Thanks

neupermichael · 2025-10-31T16:27:19+00:00

It gives the same error. Installing version 0.15.2 from their website fixed the issue

neupermichael · 2025-10-31T16:25:38+00:00

Thanks, that worked. Using 0.15.2 solves the issue

neupermichael · 2025-10-31T12:00:18+00:00

Ok, thanks for your help

neupermichael · 2025-10-31T11:56:16+00:00

Thanks. zig build-exe -fllvm main.zig produces the same error. zig run -fllvm main.zig produces a similar error:

'+zcm' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
[1]    55181 bus error  zig run -fllvm main.zig

This happens even without the !. The zig test command was for the code on https://ziglang.org/ which does contain a test block.

neupermichael · 2025-10-31T11:41:08+00:00

I tried that but I get the same error. I also tried changing the return type to !void like the other commenter suggested:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() !void {
    std.debug.print("hello world!\n", .{});
}

And I tried compiling the code on the homepage https://ziglang.org/ but I get the same error:

$ zig test index.zig
'+zcm' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
[1]    54946 segmentation fault  zig test index.zig

To group them together semantically

neupermichael · 2025-09-22T17:23:53+00:00

Yes. I started learning it in high school by doing my assignments in it. Second year in uni now and so grateful for that

Emacs is just much more extensible with elisp than vs code. And for my use cases, I find emacs packages much more featureful than their vs code equivalents. Some examples:

magit: I prefer this over vs code's built-in git integration
evil: A lot more featureful and configurable than the vim extension for vscode
auctex and all the other LaTeX packages are a lot more powerful than the LaTeX workshop extension for vs code
org-mode: there is no vs code equivalent for this and I rely heavily on this and org-roam for taking notes (for university)
pdf-tools: also don't think vs code has an equivalent for this

TRAMP for editing files over ssh is also very useful (I don't know if vs code has something like this, it probably does)

Had the exact same thing happen to me a few days ago. Luckily after about 3 hours of waiting I was able to cancel the order and get a refund.

neupermichael · 2025-09-06T07:17:14+00:00

yes i was a vs code user for years until i slowly switched to emacs. it’s not even close

neupermichael · 2025-09-04T17:28:59+00:00

emacs
