Don't borrow more money than you believe you can repay within in a reasonable amount of time. But your overarching goal is true.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you enable this option when you make a droplet a popup comes up and tells you it will cost 20% of the droplet's fees per month. This isn't news to me as I don't use it because I have such a sm

I'm surprised they didn't choose San Jose. There must be some things outside of their control considering they would have expanded into their own neighborhood.

Programming should be seen as a medium in which one can solve a problem. I agree that people have been approaching the idea of "teaching code" wrongly. At the end of the day, aren't the professionals trying to model their pro

I'm no designer but that yellow color used on the site is not easy to read.

Mailbox I like how easy it is to manage my email by archiving it or snoozing until later. This keeps email out of my way during the day because it only alerts me when I tell it to.

Rust has been great because it forces me to really invest time into doing something correctly instead of just coding.

The code uses `puts`. I'm not sure how much more ironic it could be.

That's amazing, considering every network I jump on gives me an address in this range.

I actually emailed open@duckduckgo.com and got a real quick response. There is an issue open on Github now that I am following through with. Thanks for checking. If you're interested the Goodie is this one: https://github.co

I submitted a Goodie about a year ago and had it pulled into their repository on Github and am yet to have it appear in a search that should trigger it. It's a cool opportunity but I don't get how the instant answer plugins will m

I agree completely. I drink coffee and tea regularly and haven't had a drop of soda for years.

Given that some of the drinks are also caffeinated, many people drink them as an alternative to coffee or tea. In this sense they can become addictive.

"If you are in a room with 100 good ninjas and 1 evil ninja and the lights go off, how do you save all of the ninjas?" This is my favorite because it made so much sense and clearly illustrated my problem solving skills. I said &qu

I had the same issue and just opened a ticket and within 15 minutes I had the credit added. It sounds like I am not the only person either.

You just described my situation to a tee. However, I can't tell you how many times people I talked to said to stay in school. I felt trapped in a bureaucratic mess too and still have a bit of time left until I graduate. The truth o

DigitalOcean is based here. And like others have said, many companies are either started here or have a satellite office.

Surely you have hobbies, so enjoy those as much as you can. I get tempted to do things such as learn a new framework or tool or a language as you suggested only to find I can not invest that much time in the end. I find that handling some u

The new kid on the block is Go. It has a lot of the features that frameworks claim baked into the language. The only caveat I can think of is how new the environment is. Google [1] and Dropbox [2] have started using it successfully. And we

This can sometimes be true. I mostly feel like I get hung up on syntactical differences in a new language and have to double check myself.

Not to mention, you can run this on Linux too so you are not limited to using BSD considering it is a type 2 hypervisor.

Thanks for the links. I am really interested in functional programming in Rust and Scala as well as some systems level stuff with Go and Rust again. I will check these out.

I do try and scan through Github every now and then but even then don't feel comfortable if I am still new to the language. But giving back to open source is always a good thing to try out.

I agree with you. I wrote a very simple HTTP server in C once to learn more about threading. The thing is, I want to become better with Go and it has a lot of stuff baked into the language. There is a seemingly infinite amount of other

This is true. There will always be room for improvement on anything, especially this.

I suppose most of my ideas for projects seem silly and I never follow through. Maybe I need more discipline :).
