Funny. I don’t have a creditcard and I don’t want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.
I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I’m in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.
I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don’t they understand they are driving away customers?
Much like the classic.
“Boss, I damaged the mirror of the car and now I can’t make it in time.”
“Why not? It’s just a mirror.”
“The rest of the car is on top of it.”
I understand why you ask this question, but really the fastest way to learn is to decide what you want the computer to do and start looking for that.
One thing will lead to another and you’ll learn lots of things that way, while you’re immediately using it.
Tutorials and courses can work, but usually it works best if you use whatever you are learning.
So come up with an idea for a program, and start building. There will be mistakes, anger, frustration and cursing involved, but you will learn a lot.
First at the lower level, and later on you will probably start wondering how to structure it all. And then you’ll learn about that too.
My point? Just dive in, fall on your face a couple of times and you’ll learn a lot in a short time.
That was an interesting read, thanks!
Wrap it up folks, we’re done here.
There are many “nature films” where indeed the cameraman is filming himself during such activities. I think it’s a budget thing…
I knew this one, but I enjoy it everytime. Because it’s true, we add way too much stuff we don’t need, and that page loads instantly and gets the point across. It’s perfect.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it…
It’s actually a classic programmer move to start over again. I’ve read the book “Clean Code” and it talks about a little bit.
Appereantly it would not be the first time that the new start turns into the same mess as the old codebase it’s supposed to replace. While starting over can be tempting, refactoring is in my opinion better.
If you refactor a lot, you start thinking the same way about the new code you write. So any new code you write will probably be better and you’ll be cleaning up the old code too. If you know you have to clean up the mess anyways, better do it right the first time …
However it is not hard to imagine that some programming languages simply get too old and the application has to be rewritten in a new language to ensure continuity. So I think that happens sometimes.
I like those last three sentences. You managed to capture the infinite size of the universe and what it means. Bravo.
There’s so many distro’s to choose from that can all be productive.
If the question is this short, my answer is too: Go try at least 10 and then come back to tell us what you liked and what not.
Without any further information it’s like going into a forest and asking people to point out a tree. Unless you look for some specific tree all will do…
Edit: Fat fingers
While it probably isn’t the issue for you, I have once been chasing a hard freeze that was caused by some APM setting in the BIOS. If you are on AMD right now you could check it.
It was very weird, setting it to automatic would cause random freezes. Setting it to on or off would both work just fine. Somehow the automatic setting gave me issues.
Just a random thing for you to check I guess.
I have been stressed out about everything in the past, but I worked through a lot of things.
The main thing for me is acceptence. I accept whatever comes at me, and I deal with it.
Missed the bus? I accept that that is the new situation, and then start thinking about how to deal with the consequences. Do I need to inform somebody that I will be later, or do I need to do anything else? Is there a different route I can take?
And what is also important, I watch myself. I make sure I get enough sleep and I have some time for myself to chill. It helps if you are not tired or burned out. I have been tired and burned out and it makes me far more emotional and unpredictable.
I accept that I am not in control of a lot of things. But I can always control my response to those things. If somebody is trying to piss me off, I can stay calm and that puts me in control of the situation.
I also realized that bad moods are contagious. If somebody was in a bad mood around me I would pick it up too. But now I figured, why? I don’t want somebody elses state of mind to control mine. So I accept that they are in a bad mood, and choose to keep my mood going.
I choose to control myself in all circumstances, no matter how crazy, and it makes me happier and less stressed. I’m still not perfect but I feel a lot better a lot of the time.
And it’s a great practice for emergency situations too. I’ve been able to solve some things rather quickly just by not panicking and making the right calls to give some things priority over others.
Just wait. In 10 years 32 gig is on the low side to just run the OS. Hardware getest faster and bigger, but software scales with it.
The more resources are available, the more people will program computers to use them.
My first graphics card had 128mb memory. These days it goes in gigabyte and they use the memory and processing power to produce amazing things.
On the other hand, they also are not as critical on efficiëncy as used to be, because there are simply more resources available anyway. As a consequence, some programs use a silly amount of resources for basically doing nothing. Sometimes I really feel like my browser is eating RAM…
I would recommend finding something interesting to do, stimulating your mind instead of dulling it.
Challenge yourself, find the spot where you are just a little uncomfortable with what you are doing to stimulate personal growth.
Classic meditation method: don’t block any thoughts, just accept any thought that pops up, and visualise it floating away. Usually does the trick for me.
Or visualize a water flow like a river streaming through your mind, taking all the thoughts with it.
There are lots of visualisations you can do to help clear your mind or control your emotions.
Everybody is storing it in different conditions. Me for example, my printer is in front of a window that gets afternoon sun.
No cover, no curtains or anything. I just leave my PETG roll on the printer and print whenever I want to. Just recently after like 6 months of not printing I printed something to test without any problems at all…
Things like that probably require some scripting. You can check if there are ready to go scripts that you can just copy, but most likely you’ll have to program something up yourself. Even if there are scripts to copy, without understanding what they actually do and how they will work with WordPress you will have a hard time using them.
If you are not proficient in HTML yet, you are probably not ready for this. You’ll need to learn some scripting, insert those scripts on the pages and for that you need a deeper understanding of how everything works.
Unfortunately this means there is no easy solution here, you’ll have to put in the work to search and learn how to do this or you decide you don’t need it after all.
You’re not supposed to see this, get me medical help.
Of course he does. But a standard house power connection does not deliver the amount of power you need to charge a car.
So you need to build a charging pole at your house if you want to charge ar home. Which is another investment.
And if you are in a somewhat remote area and there are not many charging poles around you, you are also very limited in how far and how fast you can travel.
So there really is no point investing in a charging pole and an EV car if the car is not capable of doing to the same things that a gas car can do.
EDIT: thanks for the responses. I’m still not convinced that electric is a good option for me, but some issues seem to be fixed or not as bad as I thought.
Still, within my price range it will take a while before I can pay one.
