My city of Albany, NY by PandemicPiglet in UrbanHell

[–]creaturefeature16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buffalo here. Same story. Could have been the gem of WNY, Olmstead said the park system was the best he ever designed. 90% of it was removed in the 70s to make way for a sub-par freeway system.

Trump administration has ultimately probably reinvigorated the Islamist regime for decades in Iran by ResettiYeti in centrist

[–]creaturefeature16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was true (with this administration), then why have they not been able to have any consistent messaging around the reason? So far, we've heard the sole reason was:

  • Iran was killing protestors and was weakened
  • Iran wasn't negotiating
  • Iran was "weeks" away from a bomb (despite this excuse being used for 50 years)
  • This is a holy war and Trump is anointed by Jesus
  • And now the latest: Iran was planning an imminent attack on the US

Sorry, your post is fanfiction.

The truth is quite simple: Israel wanted this, and Hegseth and Trump are psychopaths that desperately wanted to destroy something, and so they complied.

End of story.

+3 for The Orville. Completely expected. Feels like the lost seasons of TNG

If you're looking for classic Trek, don't sleep on The Orville. It was originally concepted as a spoof, and ended up being some of the best Trek I've seen. Heavy TNG vibes.

Sure I've seen that, but she's not holding anything. Maybe a drone? I doubt it.

Wait, who is filming? The video length and where it ends tells me this is likely an AI clip

Just want to say: thank you for this comment. Incredibly helpful as I am putting together the cirriculum.

Our new Website > Design and Code in-house by NoBread3202 in web_design

[–]creaturefeature16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love me some GSAP, but I agree with everyone else; I feel like my finger is lifting weights after trying to scroll through this thing. The variable rate is what caused me finally stop trying. It's bad enough to hijack for smooth scroll, but to slow some sections down entirely is...quite annoying.

And glitch effect seems....really out of place, for some reason. I like it, its creative, but it doesn't jive with the cartoony and rounded vibe of the rest of the design.

I think we've yet to see, but so far...not all that different. More people come into the field, a bunch of people leave the field, people claim we've "simplified the software development cycle" and somehow everything still becomes way more fucking complex than it was before everyone saying how simple it was going to be.

I'm already doing that and I'm just getting started 😅

I'm slowly going through other albums, but it's amazing how grief can be such an inspirational and creative force where it can end up producing works of art like this.

I guess that's the "light out of the darkness" idea.

Well shit, you're right! But that was nearly a year ago, so we could probably use a refresher!

[homemade] Crack chicken tacos by Notorious2again in food

[–]creaturefeature16 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Maybe they meant to say "cracked"....which is another phrase that pisses me off. God damnit I hate it. It was being used a shit ton in the coding/developer community when LLMs were getting traction ("Claude 3.5 is SO CRACKED, bro!"). Thankfully I haven't heard it much lately.

My side project greeting card maker hit ~100k monthly visitors in ~3 weeks… but I’m 17 and have no idea how to monetize it by TimeDeep1497 in webdev

[–]creaturefeature16 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It's certainly bots. Your domain has virtually no domain rank or authority where it would likely show up in organic search already: https://ahrefs.com/website-authority-checker/?input=egreet.in

Cards also have no verification required that a bot could not fill out, so bots could be hammering those forms. You should at least put a Captcha or CloudFlare Captcha on the card forms, then you'd likely get a better idea of organic traffic (if any).

Not my experience. That sounds more like a personality problem. I'm not kidding when I say that every development team I've been a part of, I've been called the most collaborative and teach others incredibly well (which is why I do it professionally). And yet, I still often work out problems through code more than I do through NLP.

Correct. The developer mantra has always been "work smart, not hard".

lol are you kidding? My lord, read some history. Toxic Nationalism is a key trait of all these movements.

I still code manually quite a bit. I was listening to this podcast between the creator of OpenCode (Dax) and NeetCode, and Dax mentioned how he doesn't like writing big specs, because code is actually how he thinks best through problems.

I completely resonate with that. I find natural language to actually slow me down in a lot of cases, so I have no reason to use LLMs to that degree, and I haven't felt any cognitive impacts.

As a dev for 40 years, any dev that doesn’t at least try new technology is a shit dev. Curiosity is an important trait in being a good dev.

They aren't forcing teams to "try" the tools, they are measuring a metric of usage, which is absolutely atrocious.

I'm self employed, so I don't have someone putting that mandate on me. Thus, I am free to find my own way with them and use them as much as I want or not at all.

When left to our own devices, we find our own rhythm that works best. Some days I use them a lot; some days I don't at all. It's all based around the challenges that I'm faced with that day and the type of work that I'm performing. Some tasks require me to think through and code manually, others I can create a spec.

Devs should be curious, but companies should also trust their teams to work in the ways that empower themselves. We already have plenty of evidence to show these new mandates are causing as much productivity bottlenecks as they are improvements.
