- whatamidoingyoThat headshot project looks completely AI generated. The landing page is a full-fledged AI template.
- How is the article anti-semitic?
- >It was terrifying.
I feel this. I'd get butterflies knowing I had to call him or hearing the phone ring. I don't know how people like this remain employed for so long.
>I would usually stay up 24 hours
This is wild. Hopefully you never have to deal with someone like that again. Likewise, I would just leave if it ever got to the point of interfering with my mental health again.
- I've experienced this too. Luckily, I switched roles, so I don't have to engage with him so much anymore, but I still get his aggressive attitude every once in awhile.
He's made woman employees cry. He's randomly shouted at others for thinking they were being "smart". He's also made me and another coworker contemplate quitting on multiple occasions. Dude has two moods: 1. Unreasonably happy. 2. Explosive anger.
When I had to work with him full-time, my mental health was getting absolutely destroyed. Imagine a whole 8 hours of someone indirectly/directly calling you stupid, shouting profanity, and just being super passive aggressive. Oh, and not forgetting the threats of being fired. He made it seem like the CTO was discussing it, but I think it was him trying to get me fired.
I felt like shouting at him the most hurtful words I could think of and quitting every single day.
I've just been working on side projects hoping one of them eventually replaces my salary (trying to find a different job in this economy is really unlikely). I don't want to work with people like this.
- Haha, I've taken it. Incredible course. I'll raise your suggestion to the Turing Complete game :)
- For the longest time, I wanted to really dive deep into lower-level learning (e.g. C, Assembly, HDL, chips). LLMs temporarily killed my motivation to continue learning C. I wanted to build a clipboard history similar to windows 11, but for a Linux-based OS. Prompted ChatGPT for the code, and it spit some out. It was pretty bad, nowhere near a finished project. I deleted the LLM code and started anew.
I remembered why I wanted to learn this stuff. It's not for money, or to look cool.
It's for the fascination I have for computing.
How do electrons flow through a wire? How do the chips within a computer direct that flow to produce an image on a screen? These questions are mind-blowing for me. I don't think LLMs can kill this fascination. Although, for web programming, sure. I always hated front-end programming, and now I don't really have to do it (I don't have the same fascination for the why of such tech). So will I ever learn a new front-end framework? Most likely not.
- The company I've been at for awhile only uses .NET Framework. For all current projects, and anything new. It's frustrating, especially when I first joined. Could barely find documentation or tutorials regarding this tech stack.
The lead indeed rewrote the codebase to .NET Core, but had trouble publishing changes to the server (his current method of updating views, for example, is to copy some files from his local version and overwrite the files on the server). I guess he couldn't do this with .NET Code, so he just reverted back to .NET Framework. To me, it seemed... odd. Surely there's a way to publish changes in easy manner?
- It's called "Discrete Mathematics and its Applications" by Kenneth H. Rosen. A google search reveals a PDF as the first result.
- I'd recommend going on Thriftbooks and ordering a textbook. I can't remember the exact copy I had years ago when I was self-learning CS, but it was like $4.00 for a really incredible textbook.
Now, I don't have a degree, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but the book was really really good, and honestly, if you've been programming for awhile, I think most of the concepts didn't require a heavy math background (of course, it would probably help). The chapters were like: Symbolic Logic, Set Theory, Proofs, Algorithms, Cryptography, and other things which I can't remember.
Edit: The book is free to read online
EDIT EDIT: Removed link as I don't know if that was a "legal" link.
It's out of stock on Thriftbooks, but looks to go for $6-8 on there.
- > We only use this data to confirm your identity, and after that, it is automatically deleted from our systems after a short time.
Isn't that what every company says before a data breach proves otherwise? I've been hearing a lot about Hetzner, thought about trying it out, but if the service is requiring me to submit a passport or even any form of ID, then absolutely not. Your service is dead to me.
- Brave has a setting to disable YouTube shorts. Both on the mobile app, and desktop version.
Settings -> media -> "Block YouTube Shorts".
There are also other settings related to YouTube. Brave is the only thing I'd use for YouTube on mobile.

- "AI" mode is just going to be the next generation of ads. The AI serving as salespeople, essentially. People will use it so much, they'll trust it, maybe even befriend it (as some have already done).
How powerful.
- Agreed. I have done some in the past, did well, but still didn't get hired. Nowadays, I flat out tell companies upfront I'm not doing them.
Two companies still hired me after telling them this. I don't think it would work for juniors, though.
- Oooh! Great!
I haven't really been developing with React recently, but will definitely check this out!
- Although I gave up on it, I had a similar idea. I built "VimTools", which allowed you to navigate between different sources on a webpage (via dev tools) and edit them, vim-style. I didn't get beyond the navigation part, though.
If you can implement some Vim-style navigation and key-bindings into this, that would be awesome!
- How so? I agree with them. Political messaging is incredibly annoying, no matter which "side" is doing it.
