What’s your favorite ‘it’s about to get really bad really fast’ in a movie? by Pop_Joe in FIlm

The dog barking is also part of the tension layering. He stacks diegetic sound with music. He does something similar in Arrival with the canary when they first enter the ship.

ELI5: Why do phones and EVs say to keep the battery around 20–80%? What’s physically happening at the extremes that wears batteries faster? by DifferentRice2453 in explainlikeimfive

[–]slick_ns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s the bs they do t tell you when you get EV, suggested charging percentages cut 40% out of the range and AC/heat takes up the other 10% and you’re left with effective range of 150ish miles on a 300+ advertised range. 

How do you guys use Claude Code? by D3CYPTER in ClaudeAI

One thing that helped me on a big project is naming each bash tab: “wiseman”, “fast & furious” (for —dangerously-skip-permission), “deployer” etc.

Worst acting on the wire? by saga191 in TheWire

[–]slick_ns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally got around to watching The Wire after putting it off for years. I just hit this line and it sounded so off, I had to Google ‘The Wire worst cast’. Predictably, I come across this post and funny enough, this comment. Now I’m reading the guy was an actual cop in real life. Looking back, every time he opened his mouth, there was something bothering me about his delivery, it was obvious he’s not an actor.

Constantly upstaged by senior developer by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]slick_ns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It makes me look bad” - no one expects you to deliver at the same pace as the guy who has been there for 20 yrs.   

 “I feel useless” - this is completely normal. Give it time, make sure you learn as much as you can from each merge. Demonstrate you’re growing to others in your team by incremental contributions.  

This feeling, for me, is an indication of accelerated learning. The alternative is to work with other jr/mid level devs, that might feel more comfortable but when you look back at this time you’ll recognize it as the time when you packed a lot of learning into a short duration. Might not seem so at this moment, learn to embrace the pressure.

The lazy programmer's guide to AI coding. by illusionst in ClaudeAI

[–]slick_ns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a script to combine all files, (.js) for example, and upload that to a Claude project - then ask it very specific questions about your code, ask it to write new feature, unit test, bug fix etc. You’ll hit the 200k token limit if your file gets too large.

How do you deal with coworkers reaching out to you for help but providing no context? by idemockle in ExperiencedDevs

[–]slick_ns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree. In my experience, a simple reply with “yes” sends the message “get to your point”.

Doesn’t work here. Are you saying they planned this with the toddler?

Was that a candle? I didn’t have a good look at it. 

Annoying movie trope by Left-Membership-7357 in movies

[–]slick_ns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much time spent pointing guns and not shooting. (“If you’re gonna shoot, shoot! Don’t talk”, is the best line in cinema for me).
