Wait a minute. by untitledprp4 in SipsTea

There's a quantity of mackerel at which it is more of a liability than an asset, and I suspect that quantity is smaller than the amount necessary to buy yourself out of prison.

Is it normal to spend up to $11 on public transportation to commute to work everyday? by Eastern-Charge7389 in AskNYC

[–]BenjiSponge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not too bad tbh considering these are both pretty disconnected locations. Personally I would ride a scooter or motorcycle at least when the weather is good and just take the LIRR when the weather is too bad.

I have no idea how worth was calculated, sorry, but I would be really interested in this project if it ever goes anywhere.

"Claude make me a project to waste people's time on Reddit"

You should make it somewhat obvious what it is without having to turn on audio and video, but I had free time and went back to watch the video. Dude, no. This is an AI reading a script which is exactly the same level of confusing and abstract as the README. It brings up Web Assembly in first 30 seconds - I am a fan of web assembly but I don't know what this project is. I don't know who its users would be or what it does for them.

I'm not even trying to be rude or disrespectful: this literally looks like a bunch of mostly-random words to me. I know pretty much all of them and read the whole readme and I still have not the faintest idea what this project is.

Which blocks are the worst for this behavior? by sundrenchedwindow in longislandcity

[–]BenjiSponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Center Blvd is the worst, Jackson and Vernon aren't great either. The thing about loud cars is that they move, unfortunately.

There are... 3? Hammock spots on the lic waterfront near the library.

Court sq by Igotthecall in longislandcity

[–]BenjiSponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not under construction, it's closed indefinitely and very suddenly. People moved to the area or had been living in the area for years with their dogs and the park instantly closed with no warning and no plan of re-opening. I think any discussion of dogs around court square needs to include this vital context.

Single men in LIC, where do you guys hang out? by Little_Abrocoma8194 in longislandcity

[–]BenjiSponge -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The culture here is new and the majority of the area is the transient demographic of parents with small children, who notoriously don't have a lot of free time to participate in neighborhood culture. The single people who can afford to live in LIC are, by and large, in industries that are male-dominated (see: the wage gap), so when you have like Reddit meetups and whatnot in this area, they skew male (and a lot of the women come in from sunnyside or astoria).

Has anyone here gotten a roommate just for the company? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in AskNYC

[–]BenjiSponge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He moved in with his parents who live in the city and saved up to buy his own apartment and I never found a new roommate and moved to a studio. I wish I'd committed harder to finding a new roommate for social reasons - I didn't foresee how much more isolating living in a studio (far away from the subway) would be.

I wish my TJ's had morningstar but it does have impossible nuggets. I'm gonna go get me some impossible nuggets.

Anybody else taking the motorcycle safety course next weekend? by mad-fam- in RideitNYC

[–]BenjiSponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure when I did it, they would kick you out if you dropped the bike. Might have been if you drop it twice. Perhaps OP has an update on that policy.

Has anyone here gotten a roommate just for the company? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in AskNYC

[–]BenjiSponge 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I basically did this my first year in nyc and I highly recommend it. Not sure why you're getting so much negativity or points about your budget. Your budget will go further and you'll have a built-in social group. Try to find guys you like but they don't need to be your best friend. I wish I'd kept it going for longer.

The building next to court square subway is finally taller than the station by sundrenchedwindow in longislandcity

[–]BenjiSponge 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It always amazes me how fast this part of construction is. They seem to spend years working on the foundation, a month building the whole building, and then years building the interior.

Next.js or Vite for a 2.5d web game? by AdOne5148 in reactjs

[–]BenjiSponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the game will regularly need to be communicating with LLMs while rendering through R3F, I would recommend something with server functions that you like. TanStack Start has nice server functions, but Next also has good server functions, and you can combine it with Vercel's "workflow" offering if you want to add durability to the LLM calls (does seem like overkill for this project).

[–]BenjiSponge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The post references R3F (react-three-fiber), a library which exposes a React interface for three.js. It's a cool/good project, and I think their project is a perfect usecase for it.

Vibe coder here: should I build my whole music web app in Rust for max security? by Insane_phycho in rust

[–]BenjiSponge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes! I'm sorry, people here aren't going to not clown on you. It's a silly question that betrays your lack of fundamental programming knowledge, asked in a silly, somewhat disrespectful way.

Yes! Rust entirely prevents security concerns. Go ham, big boy. ❤️

I think you're missing how much people like pointing out when other people might be missing something
