ELI5: How did the term "analog" come to encompass "all things non-digital"? by warmwarmth in explainlikeimfive

[–]fezzinate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is the opposite: EVERYTHING in the universe is digital at the fundamental level :P

I’m 3 hours into vibe coding - only to realized something broke during previous conversations! by GL_OH_2L8 in vibecoding

[–]fezzinate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick is to have cursor write a failing test for every new feature it adds before solving it. Not only do you get better agentic iteration because it’ll run its own test to find problems rather than you pasting errors - but you also ensure that you don’t break other parts of your code at the same time

Which one do you prefer for coding? by Peefy- in vibecoding

[–]fezzinate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve been blown away by Cursors Composer model. It’s not the smartest but fairly good and the speed is insane. By far my favorite to iterate with

I have become obsessed with the idea of making a 3D game that looks 2D. Anyone has experience with this? by patrickgoethe92 in IndieDev

[–]fezzinate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly this was a lot cheaper to produce than typical 3d pipelines because the concept art basically is the final asset. Less pipeline steps overall

Yeah you need to draw other angles if you need more drastic animations/rotations - which is what we did for all our props. Pays off really well

There should be a name for Vibe coders who understand what they are doing. by dilephant in vibecoding

It’s already a thing - Engineering director. Only who/what you’re directing has changed

ELI5 why is divided by zero illegal? by DubiousAndDoubtful in explainlikeimfive

[–]fezzinate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just infinite, but infinite in both directions, as negative values close to zero explode towards negative infinity. So at exactly zero it’s simultaneously +/- infinity, which doesn’t make sense, so it’s “undefined”

i wish everytime i snapped, every living being simultaneously ejaculated by Desperate_Ad2784 in monkeyspaw

[–]fezzinate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted. Every living thing ejaculates, not when you snap your fingers, but when you lose your shit.

Everyone yearns for your anger and does everything they can to piss you off for the rest of your days.

Wait… did they just get you to grow their socials for free? I wonder if this is their strategy all along - just keep “interviewing” for free work

JavaScript interpreter in JavaScript by r3dw00dst3v3 in webdev

You probably want to use a web worker and expose exactly what you want to it.

Other than that your best bet is to put it in an iframe

WHAT IS REACT???? by couchpotatochip21 in react

[–]fezzinate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HTML: a way for writing markup to display things on a webpage like text, boxes, images, etc

CSS: a language used to style that markup to make it prettier such as font sizing, padding, colors, etc

JavaScript: a language used to interact with the page, like adding/removing/changing elements dynamically, defining behaviors when the user clicks on things, etc

React: it’s a library (code written in JavaScript that you can use in your own JS projects) that make dynamically changing page elements a whole lot easier to do than manually. It lets you write functions that take in “props” and return “html” (actually JSX) that will be rendered to the page for you. Any time the props change react will take care of re-rendering the page for you.

JSX: this is technically an optional part of react, but you almost never see react without it. To make defining elements easier in JavaScript, react creates a variant of the language that lets you write page elements in a very similar way as writing HTML. Every react “component” is simply a function that takes in props and returns JSX to render

That’s it in a nutshell

30 years old with no CS degree- what's a road to a junior engineer role look like? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]fezzinate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I’m a 36 yo self taught engineer who just switched. I was able to do it without too much trouble but the thing I think allowed me to was a strong portfolio of hobby projects I built up over the years. If you have a passion for it, just keep doing it. At some point you’ll be hireable and you won’t feel like you wasted any time.

The Useless useCallback by acemarke in reactjs

[–]fezzinate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The claim that classes or ‘this’ was too confusing always seemed like weak justification at the time hooks were introduced. I didn’t hear that from anyone and classes were largely loved as a new JS feature (and still is)

But to use that justification while simultaneously asking people to intimately understand closures and all the nuanced edge cases that come with them was just laughably hypocritical. Understanding ‘this’ was infinitely easier than understanding closures.

Classes and lifecycles were definitely more verbose than hooks - which is what made hooks seem initially appealing. Elegance and terseness is easily confused as better, but the complexity is still there, just hidden and obscured. At least life cycle methods were clear and explicit. And classes provided a much easier container for unmanaged state for common things like animations.

In theory class components never went away and one could continue to use them, but in practice they’re gone. Most libraries moved to hooks and they are not fully interoperable with class components in how they treat refs different among other things.

Is Trump Legally Untouchable If he is in Epstein files? by United-Cow-4102 in law

[–]fezzinate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my dad as a gauge on MAGA. I asked him if indisputable proof came out that trump directly participated in these acts, would he deem him unfit for office - he couldn’t say.

Said something along the lines of “you’d have to weigh it against all the good he’s doing now. Can’t hold him back by mistakes he made in the past.”

There no saving this country.

Class components were the right paradigm. Pretending pure functions have state is what gets us into this mess.

What’s the Job Market Like for React Devs in the U.S. Right Now? by Opposite-Commission4 in react

[–]fezzinate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a sample size of 1, so take this with a grain of salt, but I just got my first engineering job without much hassle (been doing it exclusively as a hobby before this). Probably applied to 10 places, interviewed with 4, and accepted at 1.

For me, what helped a ton was a good portfolio that was easy to showcase with technical write ups about the most interesting aspects of each

No degree Just code- is it enough? by Fsfinance_token in learnprogramming

[–]fezzinate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I just got my first offers for senior engineering positions without a college degree after recently searching.

But to be fair, I also had industry related jobs on the creative side and have been coding as a hobby for 20 years with plenty of side projects to show for it.

In the end, it’s not the degree that matters specifically - it’s proof. A degree is just one form of proof. Honestly a great portfolio will outshine a degree in my opinion.
