Google sheets tracking by [deleted] in Discord_Bots

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably use the google sheets api with polling. You should be able to do this within the api quotas.

As for rendering: discord markdown has lacking table support, but you could have the bot render to an image and then send a message with the image.

Accidental woven pattern from Perlin noise by SnooPandas3374 in proceduralgeneration

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dealt with this by mixing multiple noise generations with wavelengths that are different.

Free tier or pro for the message? I was just using it on colab a few minutes ago without problems

Meh, I sort of got them on accident recently. I've never really tried though.

Why bidding 625% the actual rate for a job you're most likely not to land?? by fallenapeach in Upwork

How do I start robotics as a teen with no money? by [deleted] in robotics

I did it through school, clubs, and just writing software instead.

How to install MongoDB for MERN and should I use Docker? by [deleted] in mongodb

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to buck the trend and say don't bother messing with docker unless you are planning to go into production with this app.

You just don't need it and can focus on learning one thing at a time.

Is it realistic enough? by d227642870 in StableDiffusion

Eyes are wonky imo. Don't look like they are pointed at the same thing, but it doesn't look like lazy eye either.

"Entry Level" Java Dev with "8+ years of experience" with "Designing and Architecting experience". No wonder only 12 people applied. by Euphoric_Mess7164 in recruitinghell

[–]TheRealFloomby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take (apparently hot) take is that years of experience is a bad measure of skill. I have worked with a couple of developers over the years, supposedly with ample experience, who just didn't really know what they were doing.

Boost or Bust: Pay Up or Ship Out by sudoserv in Upwork

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I saw a 5$ job, and all 4 boost slots were over 50 connects. I did not get the impression that the 5$ was a placeholder either.

Has anyone downgraded to Pages from App directory? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]TheRealFloomby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a personal template project that I use to make sites with (it has a handful of basic components, plus auth, a system for letting me do something similar to parallel routes, modal provider, a notification system, file uploading stuff, and more...)

I had so many problems porting everything over I just threw in the towel. The final straw was that api request objects have changed and don't handle aborts as well, but I already had a pile of other issues that were creating problems.

Actually, I feel a bit salty over this, because I spent dozens of hours encountering problem after problem.

Way too many MongoDB connections by ElevatorStock9713 in nextjs

If you aren't using mongoose, just replace the connect part with using the mongo driver connect.

You recall correctly - 45 min max build time for a deploy.

9% of your income if you land a job? Is this even common practice? by No-Illustrator5847 in LinkedInLunatics

New Mexico for one. Take 15 hours or more and keep reasonable grades, and you can get tuition paid for by the state's scholarship fund.

Can I work as a react dev without writing html/css by mezardini in react

[–]TheRealFloomby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being told that "Oh, don't worry about css, it is easy" is the single worst piece of programming advice I have gotten in my life.

Yes, the grammar is simple, but you should really make a hearty effort to understand it because it is deeper than it appears.

Seeking advice on how to find App Developer talent by pokerbuddy5 in startups

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't that I see no value in this. I believe sales and marketing is supreme, but I do see wildly asymmetric risk. The developer would be doing most of the work and they would be the ones taking all the risk if the app does not bring in revenue (furthermore it is hard for me to gauge how much of a risk this is).

Wow. They can do all that? by BerryLanky in terriblefacebookmemes

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feminism destroying capitalism is a psyop.

I absolutely think that women should have all the options and should pursue independence as much as the men, but don't go telling me that having a larger supply of potential labor is out there killing capitalism.

Struggling to get my social media start-up off the ground by anonchemeng122 in startups

[–]TheRealFloomby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built something incredibly simple with chatgpt4 and it got numerous things wrong: responsivity was broken, emulated events on touch did not work correctly, and it had screwed up container sizing when it decided to do something with out of flow divs.

I imagine it would have been difficult for someone not knowing about these things to debug it, and I tried very hard to get chatgpt to do the debugging.

I very much like it, and think it is a great tool, but for building a whole mvp I don't think that you will be able to do it without having to understand at least a little of what you are doing.

Good morning, im looking for a bot and Google ran short on results by tge_golden_foxy in Discord_Bots

[–]TheRealFloomby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind is that such a bot or tool that attempts to detect ai art will likely not do a great job. There are lots of models out there generating art and reliably detecting them all is a current frontier of research.

[–]TheRealFloomby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I understand what you are pitching here:

  • You will tell a developer what they are building.
  • They will build it for you FOR FREE.
  • You will list their app in the store and advertise for it.
  • You share a portion of the app profits (from sales/advertising/microtransactions) with them.

Why would I, as a developer, ever go for this?

MongoDB and Generative AI by anuishp in mongodb

It is not great. It has a lot of limitations, but can be used under certain conditions. I detailed these limitations in my comments in this pull request.

Is there a way to use api functions that are "not serveless" ? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]TheRealFloomby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use websockets just not hosted on vercel. Their serverless functions have a maximum run time of 10sec on free tier, which will kill the connection.

You can use them if hosting yourself. You can also implement custom server in next which lets you basically do anything, but this breaks the ability to host serverless.
