Scaleway purged my server because my credit card bounced three months in a row. For some reason my bank decided that the company that had been charging $3 to my account every month for the last six months was suspicious and didn't tell me. So, when I kept telling Scaleway to try charging again, they acted like it was fine, but really, it wasn't.

I've spoken with many people where the developers are the sysadmins in their organizations. I think the separation of concern, however obvious and beneficial, is a luxury not all companies can afford.

Create something you will use. Start with a minimum viable/working application and then add features. Start small and then add features after feature.

I trapped myself by making something too large without reaching a milestone with a working version. That's when you feel like you're working to no end.

Can I introduce you to Slackware?

@devTea It's more me being a stickler for design while not being very good at it and not having a thorough enough understanding of web HTML/CSS to execute the ideas I do have.

@StefanH I got one for free to write a review on, so it might have been cherry picked because I had no complaints considering the price.

It might not have much hardware acceleration, but the thing is awesome in a pinch and the support should just get better and better. I think part of the problem was that the kernel came from a PPA, but the rest was just generic ARM binaries. The Raspberry Pi repos are optimized for the Broadcom chips. I'm hoping that the RK3399 stuff is better, though.

Look up what Bryan Lunduke has to say about Microsoft and stuff.

PINEBOOK - it's a Linux laptop for $100, no joke. It sucks, but it'll get from point A to point B.

@JordMan, your English is rough in a few places. Maybe give Grammarly a try, it's a browser plugin/add-on that checks your grammar.

The trick, which I learned the hard way, is not to try and get every feature packed into your project in the beginning. Make a minimum viable project and set goals of working states toward the final, feature-complete project. I tried to get every feature in a rather large project all at once and not having any milestones or working version kills the feeling of progress.

Your web design, while not perfect, is much better than mine, and I'm 27. Keep it up, you're doing well. One thing, though, is that you should brush up on your English more, just because it's the language of commerce. Your English is better than my second and third languages, so kudos for that, but maybe try Duolingo or Memrise to get a bit better when you're frustrated about your HTML/CSS not working, and bounce between them. Remember, communication is just as important as technical skills.

Again, keep up the good work, I only hope my work is as good as yours any time soon.

@CaptainRant thank you. I'm in the middle of a Udemy course, but it just touches HTML and CSS. What I'm looking for is something that will actually teach me how to layout a UI. I've done programming in C, C++, and Python, so I know JS will be a breeze. It's understanding how UI development in HTML and CSS works that I need.

@Jase I've actually never had a problem with printing on Linux. Learn about CUPS and the breadth of drivers for it.

Change your password so it kicks that instance and stops alerting you?

Windows 10 is the flaming pile of shite that IE is going to die in. There's a limited amount of time left for IE support. Wishes come true sometimes, you just have to look a little deeper.

@OiYouYeahYou I think that depends on the license at the time if publication. Also, it might be that all existing distributions of the code are allowed, but future distributions of the code must pay royalties. So, updates, upgrades, so on, would fall under the new licensing.

@skonteam I'm not sure about before, but this new love of open source is eerie. It reminds me of Little Finger in GoT.

@KeyWeeUsr probably lines of code. You can diff the commits and see total new lines over time.

@nblackburn I agree. I'm wondering if MS will change the license of the code once there's a large enough dependency on it. Or maybe deprecated the non Windows code.

@walid, I don't know, trolls aside, some people just like to argue. I'm one of them. But, there's no consequence to being wrong on the internet, no embarrassment, no shame, and I think that is one of the bigger barriers for people to pursue arguments in person. So, the internet is where it all comes out, intelligible or otherwise.

Secretly, @walid didn't give anyone a ++ and is just trying to confuse people.

@jakkin I wish it were that easy... I want Java on my resume. I've looked into it for Android, and it's apparently a pain to do between the IDE and so on.

@Takumo Yeah, knowing a language is only a small fraction of being able to program. That's something that always discouraged me before I committed. I learned C well, but I could barely do anything with it because I didn't know any libraries.

And Linux, it's probably missing Linux.

I'm loathing starting to learn Java once I'm comfortable with Python (currently learning the standard library in a decent depth). The upside is that I'll be able to create the Android app I've been conceptualizing.

@TheBuschKopf I think that Silicon Valley covered it really well. A dev/engineer can design a UI that will be amazing for technically inclined people, but not so much for the technically myopic lay user.

Cynicism is contagious.

Or if the convention is first initial and last name and having R. Oot as your name.

Just bring a big box a fibre supplements to work and say "here, maybe this will help make our shit a little more solid."
