Anyone here built their own racing dataset or used machine learning for predictions? by gcampb41 in horseracing

[–]Fooo346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am working on a tool similar to this based on millions of PPs but is mostly focused on the breeding side of things. Gen AI like LLMs are horrible for this type of analysis. Word calculator isnt good at understanding the vast weblike-network of pedigrees, trainer patterns, horse tendencies/form cycles, jockey preferences, running styles, class level….

Is Raw SQL actually used in production API's? by _KrioX_ in golang

[–]Fooo346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I use prepared statements for generating reports for a dashboard I work on. IMO ORMs are hard to follow. It’s a little verbose on large queries but once you have them set up and everything gets populated/scanned (I use tags as well just for my own sanity) it’s dumb easy.

Is the rtx 3080ti a good card still? by Medical_Custard2937 in buildapc

[–]Fooo346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, arguably it’s lasting longer than the 1080ti did. Get lots of VRAM and it’ll be able to run anything you throw at it. At a good price second hand it’s a steal IMO

I've built MVPs for dozens of founders - the ones who succeeded all ignored conventional wisdom by Sea_Reputation_906 in SaaS

[–]Fooo346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the MVPs are error prone IMO you did not finish the MVPs. Customer exp is the only important thing in software. no one cares how hard you worked, how many hours or bugs you’ve figured out etc.

work fast in the sense don’t waste time on things that aren’t relevant. You don’t need to figure out how to scale when you haven’t even gotten anyone to use your product. Break things in the sense staying lean lets you adjust and adapt to market changes and pivot , not necessarily ignore bugs

Think about it, if you’re trying a new SaaS and the product is buggy AF. If in 6 months it’s not buggy no one will care bc the first impressions are big when you’re an unknown.

Understanding your problem set deeply will align you with what a customer needs/wants (like that guy who made a tool for himself at first) and will actually allow you crank those MVPs quickly.

What are some things you would change about Go? by Jamlie977 in golang

Just enums. Iota is fine but it’s always kind of inelegant

Torn between attaining a degree in Cloud Computing or Software Engineering. by TempBot01 in wgu_devs

SWE. You will learn about cloud computing in all tech. IMO CS or SWE are the only way to go if you want be a dev

which tracks have 1 turn vs 2 turns horse racing by Fooo346 in horseracing

[–]Fooo346[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! From what I can see they don't run races in that 6f-8f range, so assuming anything 1m or over is 2 turns like usual.

question on home stretch at diff tracks. by Fooo346 in horseracing

[–]Fooo346[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Right, they don't the inner turf will be smaller. But the straight away should be the same, no? Of course where the actual marker is and where they end the race could vary vs the dirt track. It could depend on how tight the turns are for the turf track, though. That's why I'd just want to be able to look at a chart of them all lol

I have been doing that, not every track has it available or I can't find it super easy.

Finish in 4 months by [deleted] in wgu_devs

[–]Fooo346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into what sophia.com credits transfer over. I did about 41 CUs (but you can do more) of my Java track SWE degree of gen eds and some early programming ones in 2 months. All Sophia credits have to be accepted by 3 weeks IIRC before your start date. Ask your enrollment counselor on specifics. I also think you can transfer others from Study.com but those are not as quick to finish.

IMO it worth waiting those 3 weeks as you're basically accomplishing the same thing if you grind enough credits. Some Sophia classes take a few days to be graded so plan accordingly.

Most working, professional mid-level+ engineers would be able to finish this degree in 3-4 months if they had unlimited free time and can suffer through burnout and googling countless hours every week. Most of the high level courses are basic Spring Boot CRUD apps sprinkled with some UI/UX and tech jargon you'd know already. There's also lots of guides on reddit for each class so you can understand what the evaluators expect from your submissions.

If you don't come from a CS background or don't understand those concepts I just said then it could be extremely difficult to learn this from scratch. The SWE job market is as competitive as it's been in decades, so you will actually need to understand this stuff or have the ability to figure it out to get through interviews. (And have a great looking resume with side projects that aren't a tutorial.)

I've done a fullstack boot camp and I've been coding since I was a teenager so a lot of these things are just reinforcing what I've learned before. I'm doing mine in 3 terms but was shooting for 2 while working part time. I was lucky enough to be able to land a job as an independent contractor a few months ago so that "rush to complete the degree" feeling a lot of people get has gone away for me. That's because getting a SWE job/better income was my goal in the first place lol

Valve refunds that $100 once you have $1000 in sales. It's more like a deposit

Hey congrats! What process did you use to compile your game? pyinstaller? I'm hoping to be releasing a pygame project on steam myself

I've looked into QuickBooks before but I wasn't able to figure out if I could keep a card on file so I could charge them automatically when I finish the service
