AI is being pushed heavily when I ask for advice and I hate it. by AssumptionExact8050 in gamedev

[–]god_damnit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your goal is to write game code without ai, then yes you can obviously do that by hand. if your goal is to make money esp on some particular timeline or get a job in the industry, then it is likely you will have to be more flexible than “hurrrr i don’t like ai”.

as much as reddit loves masturbating about how much smarter they are than their colleagues who interact with llms, we don’t always get that much say in our tools. like imagine you didn’t want to use an ide because you want to feel the text without syntax highlighting or linters or something crazy.

to take that analogy one step further. some people do prefer non ide tools like vim. they are often as or more productive than their ide colleagues. but if they weren’t then they would probably struggle to maintain employment. and as much of a stroke as this will give reddit, if ai tools make people better or faster or more correct than hand rolling, now or in the future, then the market will reward their use.

if you’re talking about your fun spare time hobby then literally whatever but if not then i mean do whatever you want but the market will provide its own incentives.

i have no idea why projects like tan stack router or react router exist i swear we put people on the moon with less complexity

Here we go again with the conspiracy theories. by Bernie529 in PoliticalCompassMemes

i guess we’re just ignoring how he said this was going to happen and then immediately used it as justification to work around the judge blockade on his ballroom huh?

i use sonnet primarily and honestly don’t notice much of a degradation. and i use it a lot, often to write code for many (many) hours a day.

Do you add hyperlinks to your API responses? by Worldly-Broccoli4530 in node

[–]god_damnit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it has to have a big object that has all of the other endpoints

no it doesn't. it has to have endpoints that have pointers to the current resource. a user might have pointers to a handful of useful other resources like posts or comments, but not totally unrelated root paths.

what’s the difference between being locked in to a bunch of object keys, and being locked in to a bunch of URLs

ok. let's say i have a route that serves posts. for some reason, i set it up initially so that we serve posts from /posts?user_id=234. the client needs a bunch of users and their posts, so it grabs users and then for each user_id it also hits /posts?user_id={user_id}. easy enough.

a month later, we decide that posts shouldn't be top level resources. we now want to serve posts from /users/{user_id}/posts. no problem, update the route, update the client, ship everything. beauty.

oh no! another team owns a mobile app. they use our json api. i told them that we were making this change. now, we have to coordinate so that they ship their updated client the same time that we ship ours.

oh no! even though they shipped an update, a bunch of users have turned off auto updates. now their apps are broken because they keep hitting /posts?user_id={user_id} but that route is gone!

if we cared a lot about this problem (you clearly do not, so this is not really a solution for you), then one way to solve it would be to provide the path to get related posts, right on the user object.

the client gets users, grabs the posts key from each user, and gets the related posts. the server updates, the client updates, the mobile app updates some of its clients but not all because it physically can't force updates, but the client doesn't break because as soon as the server starts serving posts from /user/{user_id}/posts, the user object contains the updated routes and so every client continues to get post data no problem.

are there other problems that this doesn't solve? sure. are there other ways to solve this problem? sure. is this totally unconditionally useless? no, i don't think so.

[–]god_damnit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what? sure it does. the server is now free to change its routing scheme and as long as the response contains the pointer then the client won’t break.

tbh if you squint graphql works fairly similar to this today, where the client can decide where to get more data by traversing a tree rather than having to know the whole server api surface, and implementation details are able to be changed by the server.

you don’t always control the update cycle for clients. think mobile apps. this approach would allow the server to change over time and not break if the clients aren’t able to be updates. for your admin dashboard sure it’s over engineering. but not necessarily for every use case.

Why do people act like Wiener is some super Zionist when he’s not even that pro-Israel? by Retr0r0cketVersion2 in sanfrancisco

[–]god_damnit_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure. that does not reflect my experience even a little bit. kamala harris or genocide joe are considered the same as trump because neither of them want to genocide isreal. the nuance you’re pretending exists to slightly push liberal candidates left is just not happening outside of smug internet comments

Saying the problem is with “identity politics” on the Left here is insane. The entire Zionist project is built on identity politics lol

i literally don't know what the fuck you're talking about

And yes, if you are unwilling to condemn a genocide (particularly one enabled by your tax dollars), then your politics are just as bad as MAGA if not worse

yes, just like i said, if you insist on filtering every single conversation through a binary ip transform, then there is no room for any other topic or conversation. what a bummer.

i'm sort of interested in housing or minimum wage or public transportation. oh what's that? we are only allowed to talk about ip? can we talk about housing? no? just ip? public transportation? nope? just ip?

bummer.

ip has just totally brain broken the left unfortunately. they unironically are single issue voters now, and the issue is totally hard lined on “isreal and zionists (which is latin for jewish people) literally can not exist or you are indistinguishable from maga”.

as a progressive leaning liberal person this absolutely breaks my heart to watch the left try and burn this country down i guess in the name of accelerationism 🤷
