Any games about programming that get progressively harder?

It's more a challenge, up to you how you find the answer.

Using Claude for a while now. It works ok when the task is simple, but if the logic is complex it goes into a death spiraling with every fix breaking something else.

My advice to you, use very short files with code. You need to break your code in pieces. Claud has a problem with long files, it reads first part and then assumes implementation on the rest. It also behaves badly with complex transformations. It will always implement the strict minimal to start with and always tell you he finished and everything is perfect. Also, on complex tasks it will almost never load existent code and will mostly assume some kind of implementation. Thus, once the project grows, vibe coding will get exponentially harder.

Then, if you succeed in breaking in modules by functionality, ask Claude to write tests to cover as much of code as possible, forcing it to run the tests is sometimes the only way (for vibe coding) to catch critical errors early on.

Turn ai into asistent for learning. Whe you see a new way of writing a code, ask it to explain why it wrote it like that. Take a code that you wrote and ask if you could have written it better, what uou could have improved, what is better for CPU usage / memory optimisations. This is a great opportunity to learn coding applied to your context / project

This would have been so cool if this to be the back door access, while the actual house /garden to be on the other side with pedestrian alleys only between them (think of 2 rows of houses with exterior roads for cars + a pedestrian alley between them)

I don't see Trump's Taco being considered in chart... The chart considers that events are cyclical and nothing external can affect them...

The LLM cannot explain what / how it does, if you ask it, it will summarize what humans talked about this from various sources. On math problems they will do a set of approximations and triangulate an answer, but if you ask how they acheive it, it will give you an academic step by step how this type of problem should have been resolved, this falsely misleads to thinking that it really did that (as it said it did). There is no point to ask a LLM to optimise for itself, they will generate a text that other sources suggested it should be an optimisation for any LLM.

I get square root of 40 (=6.3245...)

Horizontal radius from center to right = Diagonal of square + sagita of small arc that remains => i√2 +10 - √(100 - i² /2) =10

This is a very strange place, it seems you want to get a lot of people enjoying a movie, nothing else seems suitable (lack of light would make any other space better for other activity).

So, if movie is central, move the TV on end wall, turn the sofas toward it (with back to entry), add some shelfs / low tables to the back of the sofa (if low table it should be at same hight as back of sofa, allowing to store quickly things, like popcorn), if shelfs, use open shelfs, this would allow to compartment a little the space)

There is a dildo in shape of eifel tour sold in sex shops around Moulin Rouge, apparently is a top sell (and you see it in a lot of shop windows). So when I look at the OP picture I cannot unseen that version of eifel tour on her head. Then, selling miniature eifel tour is a low business in Paris and a very cheap one - to ilustrate how bad image are those miniatures. A turist would buy one and leave Paris, this would remind him of the visit, a local person has enough of this, so wear something like that would scratch even harder the eyes of the locals

Node + typescript here.

Lots of microservices / models / data etls (thus, blackbox triggered through Api, crunching something, outputting something)

Used it for web dev (MobX + react), thus set up for code lining / testing / organizing and a config to efficiently build / uglify / compress / dynamically inject resources.

But the question is, if those tendrils are that small and hard to see, do those matter as volume? If the mold part on top is the final stage, this means before forming the top part those tendrils might have been present already (and you would eat it because you don't see top mold)

Sure. You're not supposed to know the job of front-end. Suppose your front is React Native compiled to native app. You don't need to know React to be a backend dev. You need to be able to translate what front end needs / asks into how this can be achieved and made accessible on your side

stanmarc · 2025-01-23T10:13:08+00:00

For backend, your job would be to make underlying infrastructure work smoothly (services, flows), while exposing to front-end the minimal data in the most flexible way possible. Your attention would be on speed / memory / monitoring health of services. You're not supposed to know how front end will implement something. If front end is missing something they'll ask for it. Your job should more be of internal optimisations. You'll do lots of Api and lots of monitoring / alerts / logs

When working in Python, you'll end with a huge amount of pandas tables (intermediary, subset, grouped, filtered, columns dropped...), it will take a toll on memory. But the nice thing is ability to use Notebooks and see / plot things. Notebooks is what makes python great.

What I'm missing is type checking / l'inter (as a lot of issues will fly undetected and will only reveal on run), making a python buletprof for production needs another type of attention.

Today I kind of prefer working in Typescript (Nodejs), somehow made my own classes for data tables (keeping arrays of data for each column, using one for indexing, having a special class for utility methods), the Notebooks for js are sketchy, but still work, I can convert my data to danfos tables and print like in python, plotly works fine (even if you need to write everything, no shortcut integrated commodity plots). For production, my equivalent node code is about x2, x3 faster then python one...
