In general, I completely agree with you. Personally, as a human: I have fallible memory, beliefs that are not as sound as I may believe, and all of those notwithstanding, I may not correctly reason, even if my "inputs" were perfec

Aside from the other reply, pi makes it _really easy_ to build your own usage tracking and limit machinery. I would normally advise against such efforts for a variety of reasons (such as inaccurate tracking, etc), but specifically under pi,

Several people have given the opinion in this thread that DF is basically immune to having a tutorial; I am trying to figure out why. I don't see a tutorial as an end-to-end blueprint of everything the game is capable of. It's jus

Yes, I think we're in agreement overall. I think the hate typically comes from the mis-application of various tools; overly complex solutions for simple problems. There's nothing wrong with patterns per say, or frameworks that hav

> But I also spent some time with modern Spring Boot, and I get where the hate is coming from. There is a lot of complexity that just doesn't seem necessary at all. I'm sure there is some (very high) level of inherent project c

I agree with Gabe Newell's take, however it absolutely is _also_ a money issue (which Steam went a long way to alleviating with regional pricing). Median PPP ratios for other continents are: Asia ~2.76x, Africa ~2.76x, Europe ~1.58x, e

Aside from the skills mentioned, I recently found that asking the model to create a simple HTML presentation to walk you through it's proposed design can do wonders. Fine tune your prompt to your liking (language style, what to include

I've been using a plain ASD-STE100 prompt for a little bit now, and while I somewhat prefer the text that agents produce while being told to use simplified English, it does not necessarily change the overall structure of what they writ

Indeed, I suspect the approaches/algorithms for solving a Rubik's cube "compress" a lot better than trying to distill the entire search space in order to be able to predict the exact next move. I see this trope fairly of

Somewhere around the initial ChatGPT release, I was experimenting with having the model draw various types of ASCII art. I believe the first time I ran into a doom loop might have been when I asked it to draw a giraffe; it started with a he

If we're going with a math analogy, I guess it's a bit like teaching them integrals in 3rd grade. You can do it, they probably have the raw IQ for it. But they won't really understand and appreciate it at a deep level (this i

Aside from the pragmatic reasons, I think it's a good idea to separate out cardio, muscle-building, and flexibility into its own separate categories, and ensure you consistently dabble in each. Obviously there can be are overlaps, but

I don't see this as a binary thing. Legally we tend to draw a clear line between child and adult for pragmatic purposes, but I don't think my responsibility of intent disappears just because someone hits a magical number. I have s

To be fair, this topic seems to be quite divisive, and seems like something that definitely should be discussed during an interview. Who is right and wrong is one thing, but you likely don't want to be working for a company who has an

I find the chess comment fairly weak; while chess is a "perfect information" game (in that you have full information about every piece on the board), at every level that chess is played at there will be unknowns about the player y

I completely agree, it's fantastic both for general fitness, and as a way of exploring. I do this on a smaller scale on a daily basis, walking the 8-10 km route to or from my work (when we have office days). This is walkable in about 1

Godot is a great engine, and .Net support is very good. You can't go far wrong with it, especially for small 2D games.

I think 5-10% is pretty good, it probably means that the codebase is mostly understandable and maintainable. I have definitely worked on some which were full of little traps and landmines just waiting for eager do-gooders to step on, which

I've heard this argument before from the perspective of C# having more keywords and language features to be aware of than something else (in my particular argument, the other side was Java). From this perspective, I can't say I di

I also spent hours messing around with calculators as a kid. I recall noticing that: 11 * 11 = 121 111 * 111 = 12321 1111 * 1111 = 1234321 and so on, where the largest digit in the answer is the number of digits in the multiplicands.

While I certainly had the _concept_ of compound interest taught to me at some abstract mathematical level, the application to real life practical financial scenarios was definitely not done [1]. Economics as a whole was an optional subject.
