Yes easier, as in time to integrate and get working correctly. I’ve used SQLite extensively over the last 10 years and yes it’s a good solution, but not a replacement for fopen. A flat file would be easier to integrate, test, and harden ove

In college they did the same thing, so I pirated the book the teacher was using for the class so I could get the answers to the questions we were being assigned. It helped me learn the material with multiple examples and solutions. I think

Your hair stylist isn’t making more net profit. Rent went up, supply cost went, utilities went up, frequency of patrons gone down. You should ask your hair stylist if the raised prices are keeping up with their rising costs to operate. And

That money doesn’t go to the people that need it. It goes to fuel, shipping, taxes, etc. the person stalking the shelves gets nothing, the person that works at the gas station gets nothing, the person on fixed income gets nothing, and on an

That’s not true at all. Salaries aren’t increasing at the same rate that food, goods, and services. Stuff gets more expensive at a greater rate than wages increase.

This happened to me in 2020. Interviewed and they said that the previous person left for a more creative role. I was told I’d be lead and have the authority to steer the product to get them ready to release games in 6-12 months. They lied a

Tell me you don’t use WSL without telling me you don’t use WSL. I use WSL everyday and it’s no different than using native Linux. What’s so terrible? It’s easy to setup and easy to add to windows terminal.

That’s not how anything in tech works. No disrespect to teachers, but if they’re starving then maybe they should find a job that’ll pay their worth.

If the company hires you for a job and they’re happy with your work, you’re not overpaid. Companies are desperate for engineers that the price has inflated, the value of engineers has gone up because no one wants to make useless apps or web

It’d most likely be similar to automobiles where you don’t void your warranty for repairs. Only when it’s proven that your repair broke it further or something else breaks will warranty not cover a repair, but still doesn’t void warranty on

The GN was meant to be a budget phone for developers to jump into Android. It wasn’t meant to be the best phone. Samsung offered the Galaxy 2 at that time that was much better. The GN cost $350 no contract which was unheard of at the time.

Galaxy Nexus was a great phone at the time for the price. I had just gotten the galaxy 2 then realized that sprint had no coverage in Portland so I cancelled my contract (didn’t have to pay because I proved they mislead there coverage area)

I had the 5 as well that constantly boot loaded. A couple years later I really wanted the photos off it that hadn’t been synced and so I took it apart and found the issue to be a design flaw in the power button. I made a custom power button

I only buy Blu-ray that come with a digital code. I activate the code, it shows up in iTunes, and I give or throw away the Blu-ray. Although this is usually around Black Friday where you can get Blu-ray for $5-$10.

I have both those cards and your very wrong. The RX480 with 8gb still can’t match the RX6500 with 4gb. The RX480 was a great mid tier card, but it’s showing it’s age and the RX6500 is a good upgrade. It’s not drastically better, but enough

The only people that have ever had problem with me (no degree) training them were PhDs. Most have had a superiority complex of their education over mine. I’m like “sorry they feel that way, but I built most of the software you’re gonna use”

Firefox burned me too bad to ever want to use it again, they too have deprecated extension frameworks (of which I maintained a couple and were subsequently broken). The Australis release was my last straw, it was so bad and ugly and took aw
