Thank you, you lovely people. I'm feeling much better indeed. Self pep talk helps and time heals.

I don't think that's legal, some people will call it human-abuse.

You can, however, buy a rubberhuman instead.

Yep. All alone in a new city.

@sunfishcc Maybe because it's a small startup? Idk.
The huge salary increase is because I live in a 3rd world country and this employer is in Germany; the offered salary is practically minimum wage there.

Thanks guys! I feel more confident in my choice now.

Oh and I got accepted!

@ace48 That. Exactly that.

They should just make an official "git fire" command that commits and force-push and outputs "RUN, FOREST! RUN!"

@nickj That's so Object-ifying...

Thankfully it will be an online interview.

To be honest, the other place seems more interesting to me (and it's flexible hours!) and I will probably learn more there. So yeah, fingers crossed. Hope I can impress them.

And it happened again..
Also, CEASE*

Well I just tried to call my phone while recording with OpenCamera (which doesn't ask for that permission), it kept recording while phone is ringing and paused when I picked up. The same way music players handle phone calls I guess.

@dev0urer
Nope, no QR scanner.

I guess this camera update was in the "security improvements" they mentioned.
PS: it's an Infinix Hot S if anyone is curious. (Some Nigerian brand with a Chinese firmware and lots of bloa- cool apps!)

Try excluding the words you don't want.
Something like this:

angular 4 how to foo my bar of qux -angular2 -angularjs -"angular js"

@linuxxx thanks for the welcome btw!
How is it a good idea? The only way I imagine it'll go is: Each time a PDF is requested, it'll need to query the db, receive the whole file into memory, write to a temp file (?) and serve it as a normal static file would be served, byte range and all that..

Also yeah I'm only ranting because of the way he said it! Some people teach computer science classes like it's a history class, they don't welcome debates or alternative methods of doing something. That's the part I really hate.

I understand that I can store them as BLOBs, but I believe it's a very bad idea in this case. My project is a lame library management system prototype.. The PDFs are digital copies of books and documents. Saved on the server, served to a desktop client via HTTP.. You really think this would be a good case to store the files in the database?
