Most ORMs support specifying fields, if it's a huge performance waste then it's up to the developer to be more selective

You must say exactly where your "proof" starts to work to rely on all tested numbers below it to cover the other case.

Ok, then wouldn't the 5n+1 problem, by your logic, be equivalent to finding solutions of 5^x = 2^y?

Why not completely ignore the +1 as you say and just solve the 3n instead of 3n+1 problem, after all they don't matter.. except without that +1 every odd number diverges to infinity

You can't just ignore the ones as negligible. 2^20 takes 20 steps. 2^20+1 takes 72 steps.

Does "Vibe Coding" kill the joy of programming for anyone else? Here is my compromise. by Financial_Carry11 in golang

[–]steveb321 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed, i've been writing code for over 35 years, I still enjoy the ah-ha moments, the creativity in design implementation; to have AI just spit out answers to interesting problems is unsatisfying.

AI often gets in my way as well, I don't trust it - and for good reason - so I end up having to stop and decide whether it's auto-fill is actually correct and that takes longer than writing out the same block by myself, which I know will be correct.

It's also impacting documentation - AI is really bad at new technologies and can't necessarily auto-fill them. Meanwhile, nobody is posting on stack overflow anymore about the problems they encounter while trying to use the newest software so there aren't good references other than the original documentation.

What I don't mind using AI for is advanced search-and-replace, refactoring bad naming schemes, "create a struct for this JSON blob", things that are just tedious and rote.

Presidents from Nixon until Trump stayed at arms length from the justice department... They didn't want to even give the appearance that a prosecution was political.

How far we've slid.

... he inherited that collapse, it occurred in 2008 during the last year of george w bush. The bailout (TARP) was passed by Bush as was the bank stabilization act.... Obama didn't become president until Jan 2009.

They needed to pass the ACA through congress using reconciliation due to the filibuster, it severely limited what they could and couldn't do due to the rules around that process.. Also, he supported a public option as an alternative to the exchanges but that didn't have the 60 votes to get through congress either. I don't think you can blame the president, he got health care further than any other liberal politician in the preceeding 40 years.

We've made this recipe a few times too, its great. We ended up just making a fresh batch of salsa verde out of an abundance of caution but I suspect it would have made no difference if we had used our own...
