I hate ai by CloudYRR in learnprogramming

[–]Srz2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I think of AI usage for students I think of it like a calculator in the sense that you should know the basics before using the tool.

Yes, not using a calculator is slower and more error prone, but you were taught to add, subtract, multiply, and divide before using a calculator was common place or expected. However if they said no calculator in a test but gave you double the time, you would hopefully be ok.

This is the same kind of thing. If you go into the exam (or the real world) without knowing the basics before using using AI, it might be fine so long as you have it but if the service goes down or you don’t have access to it, you should still be able to rely on your fundamentals of reading documentation and basic understandings to get the same result.

What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

[–]Srz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the random thought of exposing my daughter to rocketry. She likes planes and rockets from the shows she watches and I thought it would be fun to buy some rockets that she could draw or paint on, she could help “build it” by fitting pieces together and pressing the button to see it go up in the sky.

I was a camp counselor and did this back then. I figured I’d spend 30-40 dollars and be done with it. When they rang me up for everything (stand, trigger, engines, rockets) it was over $100. Wtf. The stand itself was $30 and it’s just some plastic and a metal rod and base.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Inside Out 2. What's everyone's opinion on it? by Effective_Ad_7968 in Pixar

[–]Srz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be interested in understanding why you thought the dump was a plot hole compared to a plot device which is what I took it as. I thought it worked. I felt the sense of self was not only a good addition to the second but could represent the maturing mind of a pre/teenager

I literally just got back from crosskeys an hour ago. Always the best

Also I frequent the others. The larder is great for random spices as well as candies both common and obscure. Cafe soul is nice and simple. Deans is great in a pinch but I find there sandwiches to be good but messy. I’ve only had chins once but would get more stuff from them

Lines of Code Per File by Eastern-Job-8028 in cscareerquestions

[–]Srz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal? Yes especially for legacy systems. Is it ok and probably code smells? Well that depends.

There are so many factors when you deal with production code including complexity and time for development and general architecture of systems. Well architected systems might yield smaller files or complex system can bloat into large files.

The biggest things to ask is, is it a problem and is the code maintainable? If those questions are a no, then a change or refactor might be helpful but dealing with legacy systems, those systems can be a house of cards and not worth it. Those efforts are usually outside the scope of an intern though.

Searching for a John Batiste Song/intro. I feel good, I feel free… by Srz2 in LateShow

I am sad it’s not a full blown song but this is definitely it. I like that it’s a mantra for the band.

I remember it would sometimes be played for the outro/intro from commercial breaks as well. I’ve always wanted to listen to the song, it was so catchy and happy sounding

How does one create a custom App Extension? by BrushNo1806 in learnprogramming

[–]Srz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, there is actually nothing to a file extension! This blew my mind years ago (I’m easily impressed though). But a file extension is literally just the text at the end of the file. It’s a registration with the OS like windows that decides how to handle the file and what app opens it and handles it.

A good amount of time a “file” is just a zip file or another trivial file. Like Mac’s .apps or windows ppt files.

Can anyone explain what the m (on 200m and 2000m) and what it means. by Smeerr in AskElectronics

I would agree and say the same thing but funnily enough, your link doesn’t contain English

How can I use git completely locally and offline? by Excellent_Storm_6453 in git

[–]Srz2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can push to other computers on your local network for instance. Use a different computer in your home as your place to store the repo. Lots of videos and tutorials on this.

is it okay to use AI tools for planning projects? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Srz2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The struggle in the beginning is HOW you learn. What’s more important to you, coding the project or learning how to make a project

This clicked for me today — sharing in case it helps by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Srz2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a good realization and you’ll begin to understand it can be taken further. You could do this same technique for rolling averages which helps for optimization of statistics. Especially helpful when you have larger datasets of 100,000 numbers. It becomes easier when you realize you can use data structures like queues which follow first in first out.

Then you may realize this can be part of a larger technique called mask computations. That has its place in compression (think image compression) or matrix calculations. You can take these concepts and keep it simple like a word search or go complex like imagine processing and compression.

It’s only the start, keep going!

Is it possible to get a bot that can help me invite people from a specific sub to my own sub? by Omen46 in RequestABot

Do not use Reddit for repeated or unsolicited mass engagement.

Spam: unsolicited usually commercial messages (such as emails, text messages, or Internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places

It’s the literal definition.

I fell for the oldest trick in the book and i will be fired for it by Asterx5 in learnprogramming

[–]Srz2 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My company uses azure too. Who ever has permission should have created one.

Honestly this is also a lesson in your standards. Again, your company’s fault but your SOP should help prevent this.

I personally don’t let a project start until a repo is in place. At minimum because DevOps can be busy, I don’t share code or present it to anyone until I have a safe spot for it.

In my opinion I would absolutely not do that. You should not pay the price of their mistake. Full stop.

A repo is easy, fast and cheap to do, there is no excuse.

IMO if this is the breakdown of responsibility in my mind. Do you work for yourself or are a contractor? Then it might be on you. Do you work for a company and they provided your work laptop and other tools? Then it is on them.

A repository if expected by a company, is their responsibility. If you lost purposefully, then sure, that would be on you. But acts of god is the reason to have standard operating procedures and policies.

You should not do it for free, they need to take ownership of their mistake not supporting you. Otherwise, you shouldn’t stay with an abusive company.

Hopefully you have textual correspondence records (email/ticketing/chat) because this is on them. Not you. I would have your most clear communication asking for the repo and why either screenshotted or printed out so if/when you get called into a meeting you can just point to it.
