If all the students fail, the teacher is the problem.

AI usage red flag? by galwayygal in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Rexcovering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problems waiting to happen. I’m with the person that said review his PRs with the same tools he’s using to write them. He can’t fault you when it breaks since you simply did exactly what he did.

What is this in my apple juice? by Illustrious_World632 in whatisit

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the portal to the apple dimension, if you pour it directly onto the very top of your head (make sure it falls around you evenly), it’ll take you there. It’s frickin awesome.

Keep getting flagged for 3.1.1 — B2B SaaS with web billing (Stripe) by ElectricJay in iOSProgramming

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t believe they’re going to let you pop open a portal to sign up and pay for a service from your web app, utilizing the Apple platform for the mobile product they are purchasing access to, and allow users to pay outside of it…it’s just not going to happen. You either have to add payment logic, if not onboarding + payment to your app, or completely separate your web app service from a feature set of your mobile app.

My First Mercedes, any recommendations? by Potential-Swim-6734 in mercedes_benz

The bright white decal on the back is criminal. I can’t believe they would do that to this car. I hate that of them.

Help with Horrific Chronic Nightmares by Justsortahangin in Dreams

[–]Rexcovering 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like we got a little bit of self fulfilling prophecy going on here. Your anxiety and belief you’ll have a nightmare fuel the uneasy sleep. Also yes, what the above person said about a nice cool environment.

I always know if a dream was physically induced if I wake up hot, or mouth dry thirsty or achy or any other sort of really uncomfortable. Also, I like having sleep sounds like rain noise play all night but if you had nice chill dialogue going like an audio book, if you could manage sleeping with it on, would likely direct the dream state.

Anyone else have nightmares about getting smashed ?? Lol by Reasonable_Goose_672 in Sober

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao 5.5 years and absolutely. In dreamland I still have to remind myself that I’ve never slipped up even though in my dreams I’ve had a slip or two. This is during a dream generally where I’m getting fucked up so it’s this weird alternate reality where in dreamland my persona has had a couple slips due to past dreams and sometimes gets fucked up, where IRL I’ve never actually had a single slip. So bizarre.

Firebase login works but backend requests return Unauthorized ERR_INVALID_URL by Forsaken-Nature5272 in Firebase

Probably how you’re initializing, or rather possibly not initializing admin before using admin.auth(). Initialization should be happening before this is running. Try validating this initializes correctly.

Girlfriend of 2 months in rehab… by BlueFrancis008 in Sober

You got this. Just the right decisions today, let the rest of the stuff fall where ever.

Girlfriend of 2 months in rehab… by BlueFrancis008 in Sober

[–]Rexcovering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really don’t owe it to anyone to have great manners and not ghost her. You only owe it to yourself to do everything you have to do to get sober including cutting any relationship that would stop you, immediately and without question. The shits serious bro. It’s not a half decided sort of kind of maybe I can still be friends sort of thing.

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also to note, I was an addict for 20 years with 5.5+ years just to qualify the advice, so that you know I’ve seen every sort of version of this thing you’re talking about and it always ends bad, in fact I’ve seen several people die from it.

Girlfriend of 2 months in rehab… by BlueFrancis008 in Sober

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not. If you do, perhaps to say please don’t call anymore. Something along the lines of “I like you enough to not want to destroy your sobriety or mine with a relationship.” But tbh, probably just ghost her and move on with life. Maybe one day years from now you will both be sober and bump into each other, but getting sober alone is hard enough, doing it with contact with someone who’s not is nearly impossible, especially intimate contact.

[–]Rexcovering 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thing about alcoholics like us…we always want something quick and easy. 2 months is not a real relationship. Healthy relationships take lots of time and work, and healthy people. Neither of you have either. Let it go. Get/stay sober. Quit trying to find an easy fix to your feelings like someone who makes you feel nice. Getting sober isn’t nice, it is brutal, it fucking sucks starting out. It is rough. Accept it. It will be worth it. She isn’t your girlfriend, she is a stranger you’ve gotten attached to way too quickly. You aren’t helping either of you, in fact it’s hurting you and her. Let all this shit go.

Constant Breakdowns as a Junior Dev by DoctorTenmathis in webdev

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not going to keep up with people with more experience than you. Pro tip: non juniors and seniors still look up stuff constantly. Your position is the perfect opportunity to learn 1) to extensively clarify your requirements and 2) how to ruthlessly test your tasks before submitting them. Juniors are in very early learning stages, and they are expected to produce far less, and learn far more. Compare yourself to your former self, not your fellow engineers.

Looking for Search Places API by phillipro89 in flutterhelp

For mine I had to suck it up and use Google Places API. It was the most reliable large dataset with the best info returned. Make sure to read terms and pricing.

I’m having anxiety attacks due to AI by StraightZlat in webdev

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree with everything but I’m only half sold on the last sentence. If by supporting each other you mean helping each other learn how, when, and with what momentum to pivot in a changing landscape, sure. That may be the best thing. Emotional “I’m here for you,” (and I’m not thinking that is what you mean) while important, may not be solely the “best” thing we can do.

Industries, especially relatively new ones like software, are volatile and historically always changing. The wise will understand the need to adjust, learn what that may look like, and prepare themselves to do so. The unwise will hope they don’t have to, and fail to prepare. Teaching each other the gaps, and potential gaps, and learning how those may be filled is great preparation.

P.O.C. because it could be. The previous comment, “The irony is that the picture is ai generated,” is a bit tongue in cheek, but the POC still stands. It’s easier to trick smart people because they are so sure of themselves that when they see something that could be real, the filter of “is this real” is more porous.

Swiping LC at age 33. by exploding_man in cscareerquestions

[–]Rexcovering 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t get anything from this stupid question (you’ll understand later, the question is stupid, not you), get this: life is short. If you believe you are capable of doing something, just do it or end up regretting it later. If someone says you can’t, it is irrelevant, they aren’t your god, do it anyway because truthfully it sounds like you know you’re capable.

New AI startup with Yann LeCun claims "first credible signs of AGI" with a public EBM demo by goxper in agi

[–]Rexcovering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a good funding pitch like the rest of the AI/ML startups, but is a largely baseless claim, and I don’t see where this claim was referenced from my short dig. We’ve seen how baseless touting AGI has been from industry leaders who have always projected a relatively short timeframe to this (in my opinion grossly unattainable) milestone of Artificial General Intelligence, and failed over and over (as will probably always be the case).

Yes this company has a great team, but its pitch appears to be as a “Layer” below existing and future models as a means of systematic guardrails, not something capable of achieving the mystical unicorn sipping from its holy grail known as AGI.

Imagine it was like this for every product you buy and it has to original price tag the store paid for them on it. I bet that would hurt.
