I think it's still helpful as it indeed will give you more understanding. You wouldn't want to go for optimised algo's etc unless that rocks your boat, but just basic implementations is good to learn the basics from imho. And

Supposed to be. Email these days is also instant and I have indeed people calling right after sending emailing to ask if I got it. I never did or will use outlook , but I know many people in business settings who use the slowness of it (‘

So is text chat. Shame most people have such low attention span they actually get angry when you don’t answer within seconds, let alone longer. I have been trying to get people to accept email and chat as async for decades and for some it i

I have been watching horror movies since I was 7, which was the early 80s. Dario Argento being a family friend and my grandmother loving horror did push that along. I thought I was ready for any blood and gore until 2 years ago my little do

I had cancer and a stroke; whenever I see either in a movie I get a panic attack right there (I take maybe 1 Xanax a year and it is always during a movie or series when something like that happens) (especially strokes as that was like takin

That’s because people trust their gp; if you don’t, you get referred fast. At least where I have lived and I am on public healthcare; experience with NL ES PT UK BE; never have to wait for anything.

It is your health; I don’t know about the US but in NL UK ES PT you have to apply yourself to get attention but then you do; I get help fast whatever I have because I am not taking no for an answer; people who do, well, it is your health; i

They both came from gaming (Flash => haXe and Blitz+Flash => Monkey) so that's why they focus on it. haXe is really quite good these days, however the tooling is not what you expect from a modern language; more to the point (I am

For people who do not know; Monkey (the language this was forked from), like haXe, generates different languages which you pick when you compile a Monkey program. So running a Monkey program requires you to pick a language like Java, c++, j

Monkey/Wonkey, like Haxe, generates code in different languages which is then compiled. So when you compile a Monkey program, you pick a language, like JS, C++ etc and it generates code in that language first and then compiles that lan

How does the 17 inch screen stand up? There are no pictures of it standing from the back. Maybe I overlooked it?

I am indeed also overpaying for a VM and a few domains on TransIP (I am also from NL like you I guess) :) And I had massive issues with them in the past. I had less issues with Hetzner anyway. So also a matter of experience.

What I find more worrying is that incubators and VCs now often push it. One of a disturbing metric for a known incubator (cannot name them) is how fast you burn through your free $100k aws budget; if you don't do it fast enough, it is

Chances are quite high you will never need scale. If you knew 100% sure you needed it when building, you would build for scale from day 1. But most/all startups and also for many projects in large corps, they don't know if they ne

Agreed, but I think it should be neutral; I read this as a ‘too expensive, just build it’ which I see a lot with articles about OSS.

Sorry to hear it; it seems very strange. Maybe indeed because the account was new and ‘something’ flagged it. I would try to call them anyway; phone is usually easier in this case; find it hard to believe they would check your info and jus

Maybe they treat me better because I am a long term customer. That could be. I don’t think these providers are that budget really; OVH has a budget provider (kimsufi) but ovh isn’t one anymore, imho. Unless compared with cloud and ‘enterpri

Going to say this was not the first warning. They would not do this even if you are doing something very wrong the first incident; maybe your server was hacked etc. There is more to the story. I would call them myself as I also do with OVH

Besides what was said; make sure you are not doing fishy stuff. I cannot imagine it was as innocent as written by OP. Hetzner doesn’t just do this; even if you would be running some weirdness, they first tell you and ask what it is. Just li

> Blink shell… expensive… build yourself It would be good if people would be neutral on buying not buying of open source software instead of blatantly pushing for not paying anything.

That might increase the chance of dropping the phone as it's not made to operate it that way?

I invite friends over and usually celebrate it for a week. Have done so for decades. I don’t want or ask for gifts; don’t want more stuff.

I find them almost weirdly cheap; I would not deliver anything (with some exceptions) for 10x the amount (the delivery people get after paying everything). Edit; checked here; 1 Big Mac large menu is 11.63 euros including delivery. 7.65 eur

If you grew up with emacs and vim there is not so much chance you cannot use an ide in the real world? I mean: vim/emacs are considered harder to use and going to something easier is, well, easier? I am not really sure what you are say

If you had learned OpenOffice calc or write, would that have made much of a difference? Takes a few hours to move 80% from one to the other. Maybe if very specific functions it may take a few minutes more.

In north-west eu maybe, in south-west not so much; I have had solar for 20 years in different houses in the south and it covers more than enough all year round (we are off grid). During the days, summer and winter, you can switch on whateve

The Planet devices are nice; I had the first one and it is good (it was so good, someone took the effort to steal it; joke is on them; it was running Linux); I am waiting (less than patiently) for the Slide now.

But a degree(s) and portfolio shows that already (it is what they are for; when I show my EE degree, they don’t ask me to solder together a computer from this here 74LSxx series box; no, they just hire me; why is software hiring so nasty?);
