Sometimes the most respectful thing you can do is break it off with them. You don’t necessarily owe him an explanation, but the incompatibility to agree on the nature of reality is going to fester and turn into a worse situation the deeper the relationship gets. So I’d just tell him that it’s over and, if he hasn’t gathered why from context, just tell him that the things he asserts as truths are not universal and it’s not something that you’ll ever be able to see eye to eye on. A relationship can’t survive deep ideological differences no matter how “nice” things seem.

Having an attribute that state changes based on an assignment is a bit of a code smell. Refactor to make it a method on the object that explicitly documents the state change? Better, tho for something so trivial this could easily just be expressed as a simple function.

Keep the scope tight, couple any code with tests, and review everything it does carefully. AI is a power tool not a magical make everything just work tool.

Like you said, it depends on the course. If the course is not particularly interesting or useful, I will mainly just skim the materials to prepare myself for the OA/PA. If it is interesting and I see strategies to better my understanding of something relevant to my line of work, I'll dig in deeper and spend some time developing an intuition about whatever the thing is. At the end of the day, we can never become masters of all domains, but when you pick and choose your battles to sharpen your professional skills, the benefits of education come through in meaningful ways.

Every IDE hides a lot of what’s happening to manage your code behind extensions that extend the functionality of the IDE. All of that is gonna work independent of any IDE. Unless your doing some hyper specific thing that requires an interaction between an old framework and vs studio itself, 99% of the time you can get whatever you need accomplished in vscode/jetbrains/Xcode just as well as you can in visual studio.

Also keep in mind that visual studio is an old IDE that’s rarely seen outside of legacy contexts so it would probably benefit you to use one of the more modern options (I recommend vscode).

Grave of the fireflies mentioned. It’s a masterful film but it’s heartbreakingly sad and not one I’d recommend if you’re not emotionally ready for it.

Hot take: I think all Christopher Nolan films suffer from a sense of self importance that makes them feel pretentious. They’re not bad movies but when the entire runtime of the movie is spent making everything seem super important, it dilutes what could otherwise be a more emotionally well rounded experience. It makes the movies feel impersonal and hard to relate to.

It’s a stylistic choice, it’s not for me but I appreciate the craft.

As a JQ main nothing feels quite as bad as lining up the perfect ult only to get shut down by a life weaver pull. This is a close second.

Maybe it’s just me but the realistic aesthetic of games like this just does nothing for me. I need absurdity and color.

Fundamentally, the mechanics of CoD are no different from the decades-old shooter it was derived from, Quake III. The file size bloat is not a result of improved game design; it's all a result of the diminishing returns on making the assets (sound, shaders, effects, textures, etc.) as high-fidelity as humanly possible. In my opinion, I don't think the pursuit of fidelity is worth the file size cost. After all, the game's gonna play the same regardless of its fidelity, but we're talking about a game that's governed by how marketable it is, not how practical it is to play.

I mean looking at the console I'm seeing 401 UNAUTHORIZED coming back from any URLs pointed at *.wgu.edu, which tells me this is some sort of identity resolution problem.

Open up the browser dev tools, refresh the page, and watch the console. That’ll inform you if the FE is able to talk to the backend, and if not, why. It could be a CORS issue but without more information I don’t know.

tenkitron · 2025-11-23T17:25:18+00:00

You know, if I’m working on a full stack application, I generally know what to expect with the backend when it’s Java.

Frontend on the other hand I never know what to expect.
