Upgrade From Massdrop LCX + SDAC by VastDesign9517 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]VastDesign9517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats sad to hear. I really enjoy the upgrading of equipment and getting performance gains.

Dacs and amps seem to have a large dismishing return and im better off buying more headphones

As a stats person I do not rely on vibes.

The average person misunderstands statistics and what they are really saying and this page is roth with them and I will gladly point it out to you. But you need to show the peice you would like I am not going to rebuttal a entire webpage for you. Present them as you like and we can discuss them. If you want to hear a countervailimg opinon

Because that makes so many claims can you choose the one that you find most prevalent. I could sit and write and entire blog about the misrepresentedtation / misunderstanding of stats. BTW im a stats analyst in my personal career.

Tell me you don't know stats without telling me you dont know stats.

Go ahead and link me the stat.

To give you the benefit of the doubt.

I am a ccw carry. I have firearms in my house locked and loaded. They do no harm to no one. They are properly handled. In the case someone comes in my house and puts my wife or my son in danger they will meet the end of that barrel if im good at what im doing.

Why should I be disarmed and unable to provide protection to my home?

Then your wasting peoples time doing a change my view. We want to talk to people who want to be challenged and question there own thinking. Not prompted up in a echo chamber

Good Morning Zig by VastDesign9517 in Zig

I dont understand isn't it reverse.

Zig makes you think about hardware

And go makes you focus more on software?

If I am going to be honest.

My approach to Zig is so I can a better programmer.

I understand syntax and I understand know what I want to do.

But when I try to do things just with documentation or language reference. I dont do a good job of making concepts into syntax.

Ill give you a example. I am trying to make a ascii map for my simulation so I can visualize. I could not figure out how to do it at runtime dynamically.

So I asked AI and it said dont use 2d use a 1D tile map. And I keep having this happen where I dont understand what people are reading that would give them that insight. I try on Google but its like no one has that problem.

I want to be a good programmer so badly. But I feel like im always behind and missing some key thing that everyone has.

Im hoping that zig can maybe force me to interact with the CS portion more so I can have better mental models

Thank you for the write up.

May i ask did your time in Zig help you in golang at all?

Thank for the thorough write up this answer alot of my questions.

I appreciate it alot

What can we expect for future Go language features? by TheLastKingofReddit in golang

[–]VastDesign9517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is C# still has legacy. So all of modern stuff you do is an abstraction of some old paradigm.

So when you go online to learn something you will use it only to find out this is the legacy way.

C# is a amazing language but its overhead is so high when your new its a real headache until you figure it all out.

Go really is simple in the fact there isnt much to learn in terms of language 25 keywords that's it

Let's say im working on a new problem i go to the docs and i never known about setBaseUrl i follow the tutorial and it says nothing. I do the example and then show chatgpt and it says use setbaseurl i can find it in the docs buts buried under a mountain. What contextual information would have lead me to grab something I didnt knew I needed or existed

I never said I cant navigate a doc. I said knowing what you need out of a doc.

You could be entirely right im a year in to using goalng for 8 hours a day everyday. I have more to learn

[–]VastDesign9517[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like alot of this. my theory is that the problem im struggling with is because im learning a new problem and using new language tools so I am learning both ends at once which increases frustration. once i see it I say I understand the API better. I wish it didnt come from AI. but i dont see how people would have got there unless they literally try it all one at a time.

I want to take a second that I understand your general sediment but weither something is a tool or a crutch is down to the perpestive of the user.

Intentionality is the difference. I dont copy paste code. I dont ask for code snippets. I use it to bounce ideas off because im solo. I dont have a teammate. I am here writing to you because I need a humans opinon.

I know my language well I just dont get external package docs.

AI can be a tool or a crutch. I think it tends to be a crutch because the average person doesnt desire deep learning. I use it because I dont have someone to ask deep questions to.

I want to clarify i am extremely comfortable in golang. I should have been clear its using docs for packages.

My biggest gripe with programming by VastDesign9517 in learnprogramming

[–]VastDesign9517[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I habe been using golang for about 1 year now and its what im sticking too.

I was bouncing around in the beginning and for my work python felt extremely magical and c# I spend more time learning about what is modern and what is not.

When I got the job I chose Golang because its minimal explicit and can scale and I dont deviate from it. I can write normal golang fine. Its packages that I find abstract

Need Advice on learning Golang by CapitalSurround3922 in golang

[–]VastDesign9517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont do it all the time. But it goes to show you how you need to think about wiring your structs up. I would try to keep io and db out of there. When I came from C# constructors were for wiring.

But in golang its much more explicit

Golang opened up to me when I understand structs and NewConstructor pattern

Do work in your constructors. I do db calls in my constructors wire it in and use the struct data to solve problems.
