I feel so validated by this article. I took two semesters of machine learning electives for my CS masters and feel nearly as ignorant and mystified as when I started. I worked so h…

It goes without saying that I could easily Google this myself, but I’ll ask anyway for those who are also wondering: what is the significance of HTML5 for this implementation? I’m …

This article discusses how hot the earth has been over the last 500 million years using permafrost as a means of determining the global temperature across the millennia https://www…

Are howto articles considered spam? I found it useful and wanted to share it as well as save the link so I could find it later. If this post violates some code of etiquette I’ll no…

Yeah it’s just a tutorial. I don’t really have any kind of platform for saving links I find useful so figured I’d post it here to save it for myself and maybe someone else would li…

Perhaps this holds true more to fields that stem from hedonic experiences themselves like the arts, sports, games etc. I felt this way about music after graduating from music schoo…

I regularly inform my coworkers of my dumbass status. It’s funny and keeps me humble

This post says everything I’ve been feeling. Ive been doing a lot of work with the Dronecan/UAVCAN protocol and nearly all their documentation is relegated to a Discord channel wit…

The first time I took a rather complex library, learned it inside and out. I read documentation, did examples, wrote my own examples, implemented quick and dirty working versions, …

I was big into Tintin as a kid as well in 2000. I checked out library books and eventually began to purchase my own volumes every time we went on a family road trip. My nephews rec…

Glad I stopped to read this. Thank you for sharing this wisdom. I’m always so eager to get to making stuff that I could very well see myself making the same mistake.

Ahh DaFluffyPotato made this. He’s like the leading expert on making seriously high quality games in PyGame. Much respect.

If that’s your preferred MO, then I can’t argue with that. But based off your response, it seems like you haven’t tried it yet. I would recommend at least giving it a try.

I think one of the great strengths of AI (smol developer in mind) is to greatly speed up the development process by reducing busy work. How many times do you need to write a CRUD a…

There are a lot of great responses in this thread. One thought I had is to maybe set a goal to “release” like a week or even weekend from the time you start. Bang out the minimal v…

Wow such a cool game. I thought I would play a few levels at work when it was time to take a break. I ended up taking an early lunch. This game is so addicting.

Valid question. My statement is a bit vague. I see AI as a disruptive technology similar to the printing press or radio. It enables regular people to accomplish task that were prev…

Yes. I do want to be clear that we should be mindful of the mistakes made during other technological revolutions that negatively impact the environment.

Quick dumb question: does it seem like saying AI development is a threat to the climate a convenient excuse to put a stop to a technology that is disruptive to existing corporation…

I switch from being a musician by profession to software development because I got burned out and music stopped feeling like art. Ever since I left, I feel like engineering has bec…

I do this but for my feet. They’re always wrapped up nice and toasty under my desk because I have poor circulation in my hands and feet. It’s very nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is a valid concern, but one thing I find is that using the more modern walled garden OSS like Mac and windows can be prohibitively abstract and difficult for getting into prog…

That’s gotta be a cool feeling to see your work cited in other research. Kudos!
