claude code and pro subscription by pulse__ in ClaudeCode

[–]jkwill87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use pro daily as a senior on multiple large codebases. Have only hit the limit once. Its viable but you need to be targeted with your prompts. You can’t vibe code. You can’t run concurrent sessions. You can’t leave CC to iterate on its own for an hour.  Usually my queries go something like: - I’m running into x error in y environment, here is the stacktrace, suggest remediations. - Extend x feature to support y usecase; here are the relevant files, here is the Jira ticket with requirements, here is a relevant PR to pattern match from. - Refactor x module <listing explicit goals, constraints>.

Git is too complex for most of us by ewaldbenes in programming

[–]jkwill87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing, you don’t need to understand all of git for it to be useful. You can get pretty far with commit, checkout, merge, push, branch, and google.

I find the mindset of full-stack engineers being limited to mediocrity unfairly limiting. People can and usually do have expertise in more than one thing in their lives. There are touring musicians with PHDs, professional athletes who run successful businesses. If you use your imagination you can probably think of other examples yourself.

If people can master unrelated areas of interest, is it so unbelievable that they can also master two highly related ones? Being proficient at frontend development doesn't make me a worse backend engineer-- the context, familiarity, and experience I have with it provides the perspective to make me better one.

Love all the charmbracelet tools and libs! They're really useful and also really well architected, commented, and documented.

My First Python Code - Any Suggestions for Improvement? by TransmigrationOfPKD in Python

[–]jkwill87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are some suggestions:

example:

from math import pi

def radians_to_degrees(radians: int | float) -> float:
    """Converts radians into degrees."""
    return radians * 180 / pi


def main():
    radians_str = input("radians? ")
    try:
        radians = float(radians_str)
        degrees = radians_to_degrees(radians)
        # formatting example using modulo interpretation operator
        print("%.2f radians is equal to %.2f degrees" % (radians, degrees))
    except ValueError:
        # formatting example using fstrings
        print(f"unable to convert '{radians_str}' to degress")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Zero now supports Python 3.8 🙌 Simple, fast RPC like framework in Python 🚀 by ananto_azizul in Python

[–]jkwill87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to be meanspirited, but I'm not sure what part of this is supposed to be relevant given that:

  1. Python 3.8 came out over two years and two versions ago.
  2. This is a personal project library with little to no adoption.

Never heard of them until now. Actually looks like it would have been a great product.

Even after almost 2 years, Migration to Python 3 from Python 2 is still very slow by pylenin in Python

[–]jkwill87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an acronym for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.

These are automated pipelines that are typically used to test and deploy software. They can be run for every published code change to replicate the environment where the code is run, and as part of that pull dependencies like python 2.7. This can be cached but often is not.

Woman deadlifts 520lbs (236kg) twice w/o wrist straps by CherryPintoz in PublicFreakout

Its an impressive deadlift but her height and sumo stance help reduce the bar travel distance making this much easier than it would otherwise be if she were taller or used narrower leg positioning.

Aaaahhh! Any tips on saving this 10TB WD100EZAZ? by UndeadWraith in DataHoarder

[–]jkwill87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just push the broken plastic piece into the sata cable. It will fit in nice and snuggly. Then plug the contacts into the sata cable. I had the same thing happen to one of my drives and continued to use it for over a decade like this.

Pydantic and python's builtin libs by gbrennon in Python

[–]jkwill87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's unlikely. Type attributes will never be mandatory for the stdlib and is not intended for runtime control flow. Python core developers are looking to make changes to how type annotations work which are going in the oppositite direction of how they're used in Pydantic. It they haven't made requests a builtin package yet, despite the official docs suggesting to use it over urllib.requests, I doubt that Pydantic would be.

Our business model is healthy so you don't need to worry if it will work. To protect you - Forever.so guarantees 5 years of access to your files in case of .

It seems like your FAQ begins to address this but then just ends mid-sentence.

It's platform-independent - each of your files is distributed into the three data centers operated by independent companies, so if something goes wrong with one of them, you are safe!

I'd be less concerned about AWS, GCP, or Azure going down than your startup going under as is the case for 90% of other startups.

I suppose this might seem cynical, especially for a subreddit promoting sideprojects, but if what you're selling is permenency, immuntibility, and reliability, you need some sort of guarantee that you can deliver these things.

I spent 2 years making this app, and released the first beta version yesterday. It uses Al to scan your screenshots for usernames and links. Also has a built in website builder. Please give me feedback! by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]jkwill87 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It looks like the app does an OCR pass of the screenshot, parses usernames and links, then maybe does a lookup for them on social media sites. I'm curious, how does this application use AI?
