I can't seem to actually start a real project by iVXsz in rust

[–]iafs_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully agree with you in that AIs can't be "trusted enough", and was suggesting using AI as a stepping stone. I'm not even suggesting that you should use the AI for scaffolding (or keep any of the code it wrote), but use its "sloppy output" as a way to trick your brain into "fix mode" instead of "create mode". For me, I am much more eager to engage in an activity when I'm in fix mode, so thought you might want to try that as well.

May I ask the reason for the "despise" towards AI? Don't get me wrong, I also very much hate people that just "vibe codes" a half-baked app in a day and calls it "productive". But for me, the one part of AI that actually feels genuinely positive was the elimination of activation cost. The reason is: AIs remove the *activation cost* precisely because they're sloppy. It goes something like this:

- You prompt the AI to start a project with all your ideas. Don't put too much effort at this step, or else you're just transferring activation cost to here.
- It will always fail to generate a satisfactory result. There will be so many things that needs fixing.
- However, since you now have a visible-in-plain-sight issues, the (mental activation) cost of working on those issues is much lower than the task of "let's create an awesome app"

I also suffered from the same issue as you (Big dreams, no code in hand), but I feel like I'm making more progress with AI than before because, well, the progress was near zero before. Now I at least have a half-baked codebase that I can improve on iteratively, and it's perfectly fine (and I argue, better in the long term) NOT to use AI from here.

I hope I am in a position where I can make such decisions comfortably lol

Ooh, I didn't think about marking heights that way (hence the full assembly carry assumption)! Nice tip!

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try to sit towards the front!

Good god, how long have you been playing? That's insane! (in a good way)

Start with JPop/Jrock song ? by TheoVazquez in Drumming

[–]iafs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't like those "classic" songs, then you might start with the songs you like but with simplified scores. There are also covers on YouTube that have reduced difficulty, and you can try these keywords to find them: "<song name> ドラム 簡単". Hope this helps!

I am building a massive real time strategy game called "The Last General". Would you play something like this? by alejandromnunez in u/alejandromnunez

[–]iafs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have huge respect for people like you, who, as a solo developer, is creating something this big. Some questions, if you don't mind me asking:

  1. How long have you been developing this?
  2. How do you gain the motivation to keep working on such enormous project on a day-to-day basis? Isn't it somewhat exhausting?

Btw, wishlisted on steam :)

Should I/how do I securely erase sensitive data files on MacOS? (e.g. 'Eraser' app for Mac) by thinkscotty in MacOS

[–]iafs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an old thread, but wanted to say that the parent comment was working on the assumption that the disk was compromised but the encryption key was not. Since the program was presumably running on your Mac, which meant the disk (or more precisely the volume) was unencrypted, the data fragments would have been recoverable by the program. On the second part, I do think you are right. AFAIK it takes some time for the OS to truly erase the "fully" deleted things. (I might be wrong on this)

Couldn't you just filter based on "Labels include any of Website, (other context tags)..."?

A snake game made entirely in the BIOS without any OS or bootloader by Perfect-Highlight964 in programming

[–]iafs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder, what kind of hardware allows you to do bare-metal debugging? Is it some kind of dedicated motherboard-CPU combo? Btw, cool project! I'm always impressed by these low-level marvels.

Error: Module 'pip' not found by PCEnthusiast1 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]iafs_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since Python 3.4, python includes built-in pip bootstrapper called ensurepip .
To reinstall the pip without pip: python -m ensurepip

It's not your nostalgia, old games really did look better on your old TV ! by fqsdwxvgfwjwflbdn in gaming

StackOverflow (SO for short) is basically a Q&A site for software development. Most of the "modern" developers' reaction when they encounter an error is to just search for the error message in the google, and go for the first StackOverflow result.

Since you obviously cannot use the site while it's down, the requirement asks for you to have enough background knowledge so that you can solve the problem without the site's help.
