Make IOT devices out of them. A camera, a digital assistant, or put them into a case with some speakers and use Spotify to remotely play music.

Is it that good in English? The German version can't tell you the weather for a specific time, only for the whole day. "What's the weather like tonight at 9pm?" - "the weather today is mixed with temps from x to y." Wow thanks bitch.

Yes, doing real coding instead of using scratch is much better, agreed!

Pretty standard in German. Paper towels are "Zewa" because they are a popular brand. Googling is also common here. "Tempos" are tissues. "Walkman" used to be the thing to listen to music on.

May I ask which company you're referring to? I'd just like to avoid them for my projects...

I use the fingerprint for most things that would require a password like play store purchases, unlocking the phone or banking, cause I seriously doubt that someone steals my phone and it's off my finger.

Face though...they can quickly grab it and hold it a couple of feet away from me and it's unlocked. I don't like that.

Congratulations! I hope you don't get shitty bosses and colleagues...
First line of your rant though, thought it was about a girl xD

She has a point though. With code, it's easier to figure out what happens. The Dreamweaver interface would drive me crazy.

I feel you. My GF can do most of that by herself, only thing I've done is build her a "gaming" PC for some Battlefield 3 etc. But I've helped people at University with all this stuff and now whenever I'm in some random class where someone has IT issues, people turn to me to fix it. Only way out without seeming rude is "sorry I really have no idea how to fix that" even though the solution sometimes could be quite simple. But people should just learn to do it themselves, it's not that hard. And if not, they should pay.

Well if you go with "secure" foundations like well rested libraries and languages, those very low level things are done for you. But there is still so much to cover:

1. You need to secure your server. Like not running your app as roots and many other things that depend on the platform and framework, but there are good resources for the general things to do.

2. Use SSL and read up on how to configure it properly, get your certificate from letsencrypt.

3. Sanitize user input.

4. Write tests that prove that your sanitization is correct.

5. Use things like csrf tokens etc to prevent client side identify theft.

6. Read up on general security practices for your particular stack. Each database and framework has different things to look out for.

Don't get lost there. Some things are less important, like identify theft on devrant or account theft are less important than someone being able to delete the database. Prioritize from biggest to lowest impact and work on it ;)

Somehow I like Google but disgust Facebook. It only Facebook is available like on Spotify I pick email, otherwise Google or on dev sites GitHub

@Ashkin can you explain that one? Didn't find anything useful on Google for "phantom before vertical align"

@Cybersapien it worked well for me but I had some issues using custom views so I just went back to XML layouts for most things. Especially now with ConstraintLayout, where the gui editor is really helpful.

@Huuugo I wish I could. But sometimes some images have to align with the text next to them etc. It just looks shit otherwise.

If you say you have some "loyal friends" there, hang out with them and have fun. I know way too many programmers that never go out, have a beer, go to a party, make out with some girl, have a fun movie night with friends or anything like that. But that's what's fun about being young, so enjoy spending time with friends and have fun together. Leave all that stuff at home and just sneak out at night and have fun outside!

@Cybersapien great take on this. I often see people using libs everywhere, even for one single http call. Good that you at least learn the basics before going full out on libs. I did it the same way on Android and kotlin. And I don't use anko to this day, at least not their DSL. Their async and uithread methods are great for converting async tasks to something more readable though.

@DucksCanCode MW1 actually. The best out of all CoDs...ohhh the memories.
