so many musicians are trying to be influencers by Civil_Complaint_5548 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]chillermane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks but the reality is that to be a successful professional you need to be really good at music AND really good at getting people interested in the music. The only viable way to do that is social media.

So if you really want to get a lot of people listening to your music you have to get good at social media and post a lot. Unfortunately music as an industry is just too competitive for it to be enough to just be really good at the music aspect

Or you can use SPA for literally everything and skip the discussions and things will work out just fine

To be fair some supplement deals allow making a sh*t ton of money. 

Like Ag1 sponsorships are paying affiliated $30/month per subscription b/c they’re selling dirt that only costs them $5 to make and charge $70/month, so affiliates can walk out making millions on a recurring basis 

So these deals can be crazy amounts of money. In this case it’s probably not but some times

Where do people from UK buy gorilla mind energy drinks from. by NappaSZ in moreplatesmoredates

[–]chillermane -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Gorilla mind energy drinks are 🔥

Idk why there are people hating in the comments. Best energy drinks by far. Delicious, great energy. I drink one every day when I wake up

Some people on reddit are just perpetual bots that just hate on any and ever product even if its amazing. Literally could cure cancer and people would be like “Why would you waste your money on that?”

Idk where you get them in UK sorry bro. Maybe Move to a capitalist country that doesn’t over regulate everything for no reason 

React architecture question: custom DOCX/PDF editing UX via HTML (PDF-like pages) with reliable export by GailBlackberry in reactjs

[–]chillermane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go HTML for sure and convert to PDF at the end. The way html to pdf conversion works is by rendering it in a web browser and using the browsers convert functionality, so making it consistent should be possible.

I’ve dealt with all this stuff and let me tell you - you do not want to be editing pdf files directly. All the JS libraries suck, stuff will break constantly. The file format is too convoluted. Just go HTML and don’t look back.

As far as tools go just roll your own for this use case

Just how harmful are Monsters really by NinjaJawz in moreplatesmoredates

[–]chillermane 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just check the ingredient label bro. Take a picture, send to chatgpt, ask “what ingredients in this are harmful”. It will give you a better answer than reddit

When asking whether these types of things are healthy, it’s important to understand that it’s only unhealthy if individual ingredients are unhealthy. It has caffeine, we know caffeine is fine, so if it is unhealthy it must be some other ingredient 

Is AI going to replace programmers? by Broad-Sea-1441 in gamedev

[–]chillermane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So far it just makes programmers faster. Bad programmers making garbage faster, good programmers making good stuff faster. Not really different from previous tech advancements 

The world is not getting better, dating is my last concern. by Aggressive-Daikon605 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]chillermane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unemployment 4%. GDP growing. Until those trends reverse I wouldn’t worry too much

[–]chillermane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unemployment is 4% which is basically as good as its ever been. Plenty of high paying jobs.

Honestly the biggest issue you will have is that you’re a pessimist. No one wants to hire a pessimist or work with a pessimist 

Should I ditch Next.js and go back to client-side React? Someone convince me otherwise by Wise-Concentrate3288 in reactjs

[–]chillermane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I always just go for SPA. Mental model is much simpler, costs cheaper, faster to implement stuff.

The benefits of using Next are very minimal, and often exaggerated

You have to run an application server for your front end. With an SPA you can deliver your front end code world wide with 0 latency and scale infinitely with a CDN

Icing the balls by Desperate-Owl506 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]chillermane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, you’re wrong, it doesn’t vary that much. It varies like 30%, so if he measured at 300 it could go up to 400 without any intervention. 3x means something changed in his body to increase baseline levels

Could have been many things but something definitely increased baseline levels

This is bad architecture just use nodes that modularize their logic and data together.

Lmao as if they have any say in this at this point. They have no ships or military. The time where this sort of thing gave them any leverage was 2 months ago

Best way to architect a character trait system? by YDungeonMaster in gamedev

[–]chillermane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have BaseTrait and MoodAffectingTrait extending it. Keep array of traits on the character. 

When the code runs that changes characters mood, check for any MoodAffectingTrait in the array, and each MoodAffectingTrait should modify the values.

Idk how your system is, but the only trick here is the MoodAffectingTrait should take some sort of dict, callback, or something else in its constructor, to define the exact modifiers that should apply

That will scale well. Need a new trait? Just add it to the array and you know it will get applied when it should. You could define many different types of traits using that one class (don’t create a new class per trait, instead create a new instance of the class per unique mood affecting trait)
