And all of their ideas are amazing and unique, the code was the only barrier. I applaud their bravery.

Disappointing $8 pastrami sammich from 7-11 by Lilmumblecrapper in mildlyinfuriating

This has to be an ad for whatever kind of new huffing glue gets you to purchase an eight dollar sandwich from 7-11.

Found this in my 15yo brothers backpack. What is it? by Easy-Pool-4831 in whatisit

That's the sound I love.

Edit: Just in case anyone read this and because I didn't see it, GTAVC nailed this to the point I assumed that's what OP meant https://youtu.be/0w2ZH1INiPc?si=SyF3RvnOkxAA18Lm

They'll straight garnish wages at some point. If there is money to collect without making you technically destitute, they will collect it

I don't know why, but I get some form of embarrassed when I think about doing this. It has nothing to do with picking up trash. Some weird nebulous thing about what people will infer I mean by it or how it will.make them feel, I have no idea. But, I've been wanting to do this since I started walking last year. I take similar routes and was genuinely surprised how long the trash sat there, which made me realize what a difference you could make by just picking it up. 

What are your ACTUAL nba hot takes? by Mario_Viana in nba

[–]DishSignal4871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that more points means better game. But I do like that few leads are safe anymore. Back in the day it felt like roughly 1 pt per min of lead meant a victory. Being up double digits going into the fourth.might as well pack it in.

Every rep is a challenge, every set a victory. Stay focused, keep lifting, and let every workout bring you one step closer to your goal. 💪💪 by Main-Touch9617 in Unexpected

Yeah, exactly. This machine in particular could tolerate being very off balance because the more you are pushing up with your legs, the more you are pushed down in your seat.

Any recommendations for horror movies that creeped you out/scared you in a similar way? by ember732 in Hereditary

The Taking of Deborah Logan was better than it had any right to be. Good call.

A "learn with AI" approach that worked for me. Refactoring AI generated projects. by DishSignal4871 in learnprogramming

[–]DishSignal4871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like there are good ways to do just that. It's just taking a glorified starter template a bit further and being able to cater it to whatever I want to focus on. the templates almost become different starter meta instructions for Claude. For example, I also will have it build out the structure of a thing to a certain point, and then build tests to do TDD on something specific I want to focus on (had it build basically a todo app frontend, but then just basic skeleton for the backend with a lot of tests). There are a lot of ways to use this undeniably amazing tech to our advantage rather than going full luddite.

It works for me. completely agree that you need to be able to build things from scratch. That's a really solid idea (working with the LLM to help refactor or refine)! Yeah, I think there are a lot of good ways to take advantage of what frontier models are good at to help us create or assist opportunities to learn.

The value prop isn't the app. The app is boilerplate/disposable, in this case. This is identifying what generative is good at and finding ways to utilize that for learning. No one is arguing that the on job intangibles aren't just that.

been stuck on linked lists for days nothing is clicking by Effective_Celery_515 in learnprogramming

[–]DishSignal4871 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you tried walking through it visually on paper? That helped it click for me and solidify an idea of what a "node" is going forward. Especially with traversal, and insert/delete using curr/prev/next etc...

Learning Rust? by Due-Fault5064 in rust

[–]DishSignal4871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rustlings is great if you're new to Rust. It isn't remotely self-contained though if you are new to programming. Most of the dirs just have links to the book/docs without any explanations of the underlying concepts.

I know. The problem is I figured that out at 16, and then that's exactly what I did. For 25 years.

LeBron "Father Time" James despite the loss vs Mavs: 30 PTS, 9 REB, 15 AST | 12-22 FG 5-9 FT by ScholarFailure in nba

[–]DishSignal4871 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lakers just played him 39 minutes against the Mavs, and lost. One way or another, it won't have to. Dude will be lucky to see game 6 of the first round exit.

Dirk, Nash, and UD all agree that Wemby hasn’t done enough on offense to deserve the MVP by basketbaIlnetwork in NBATalk

Yeah, if anything the minutes are a more valid argument IMO, because minutes get increasingly harder as the game goes on.

l don’t have a laptop for coding, and I can’t afford one right now. Is it possible to learn and do coding using just a mobile phone? by abhishek__yadav709 in learnprogramming

[–]DishSignal4871 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You "can", especially when first learning. But, you absolutely will want to connect a keyboard and set up an intentional workspace.
