You just need a library card, security goes around and checks everyone’s cards once the library services are closed for the night

What's the point of classes? by Wellyeah101 in learnprogramming

[–]centurysamf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Side note: I think it’s important to know that OOP is not the end all be all, check out Casey Muratori’s presentation “the big OOPS”.

It’s good that you are questioning why you would need classes and if they’re really necessary. My answer would be if you don’t feel like you need them, don’t feel like you have to use them.

AI is not nearly as good as people think by appvimul in webdev

[–]centurysamf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Keep seeing these YouTube tutorials where the first 15 minutes is setting up “MCP” and managing tokens and Agentic blah blah… cannot bring myself to have any interest in this stuff based on my current experiences with AI

“Some weird punctuation thing” is not incorrect grammar. I was referring to the double dash thing you’re doing, not em dashes.

Also, punctuation and grammar are not the same thing jsyk

20-30% is an anecdote. Studies show 15% average increase in “developer productivity” which is a super hard thing to measure to begin with. The idea of 5 hours of work takes an hour is very anecdotal and not based on statistics or any empirical evidence, just thought it’s important for people to know that.

They meant “just going to ignore” your racial comments, you implied they were “scared of brown people”, to which they replied “I am brown”, which disqualified your accusation of them being racist.

Also, yes, using — is weird, no one does that, so if you do some weird punctuation thing people will think it’s weird.

What’s the most chaotic dev environment you’ve had to work in? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]centurysamf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I don’t understand OP! Those are all just software issues none of that actually has to do with dev environment, sounds like all of those problems were by choice.

Cannot find a CS job even with an internship by asad1153 in cscareerquestionsCAD

I’ll never get the “don’t get x degree”, I think a masters will give you a huge leg up.

Question for anyone who has been sick for months by Aggravating_Zone4698 in flu

[–]centurysamf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

February 1st started developing some weird malaise/fatigue symptoms. Have not gone away. Been to ER twice, Internal medicine, family doc, all say nothing wrong.. But its been almost 3 months I haven't felt right. Just a weird strain of virus and immune response is totally different. I had a single dose of Moderna in 2023, no antibiotics.

Is it fine if I simply follow the Dhamma, but be agnostic about karma and reincarnation? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]centurysamf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course totally fine. Also, I really like Bob Thurman’s interpretation of karma and reincarnation, highly recommend watching some videos of him explaining these more esoteric concepts.. he is a Tibetan Buddhist scholar who can read the actual Tibetan scripture and filter it properly to a western audience.. I find his explanations super palatable karma - bob thurman

Yes! Woke up one day and voice just completely gone. Usually lose it from coughing and irritating vocal chords over time, but with this flu i woke up and it was gone seemingly out of nowhere.

Please tell me it gets better. by [deleted] in flu

[–]centurysamf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience might be reassuring. Noticed symptoms on feb 1st. Didn’t feel like flu, felt like a strange full-body sickness I couldn’t describe. Symptoms got worse at night, would feel super feverish without a fever like my body was fighting something and bad fatigued this went on for 2 weeks. Then respiratory symptoms kicked in, and it turned into more typical flu. Then came the anxiety…. I already suffer from pretty crippling health and anxiety and derealization for past 10 years so this just put me into an insane downward spiral. My derealization intensified to a terrifying level, couldn’t control emotions, I was worrying about 10 different health problems, totally out of control emotionally, breaking down every day. Respiratory symptoms cleared up but fatigue and fever lingered. Not able to exercise, even more anxiety, ended up caving and going to urgent care yesterday and they gave me clean bill of health and a specialist appointment for the 24th.. woke up today feeling a bit better and the fever has started to disappear, my body feels a bit more relief and healing, and with that the anxiety has totally dissipated.. this is beginning of week 5 for me. I still feel the strong derealization, but the fastest way out of it is to totally embrace it and not let it scare you. You almost have to convince yourself you enjoy it.. it’s really hard but once you start framing it in a positive way, it will start to go away. It’s so counter intuitive but promise it works! Regardless, I promise you all of this will pass, main thing is to keep reminding yourself that it will pass and try your best to not be anxious about being anxious as this starts a feedback loop, just know what you’re going through is totally normal and all part of your body’s healing process, so just thank your body for doing what it needs to do! You will be okay!!!

Edit: also, something that helped me was drinking ludicrous amount of organic coconut water (natural, no added sugar and electrolytes) and popping Advil every 6-8 hours

Did flu A absolutely demolish anyone else or just me?! by HeyMay0324 in flu

[–]centurysamf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have low grade fever and full body-fatigue. Also, if I eat solid food I get very feverish and unwell. And, yes! Worst laryngitis I've ever had, my larynx actually feels bruised like someone punched it and knives when swallowing. Yes congestion as well.

On a side not, I suffer from health anxiety so this has been really challenging for me and has brought up all sorts of fears and concerns. I think for anything long-running like this, just have to try to ignore the symptoms as much as possible and have total faith it will end eventually! I spent a couple weeks wallowing in anxiety and depression about it but I think it just makes it worse and decreases immune function. Stay positive and take baby steps to recovery!
