Quality and uptime wise, I can confirm that Vultr is better than DigitalOcean. Heck, DO didnt even reply support tickets for weeks a few times.

@m0nk what sort of upgrade?

@m0nk alright, but does it work on Nvidia before installing drivers? If so, we can try installing an older version of drivers. Best approach is narrow the possibilities imho.

@m0nk did you try to turn it off and on again? (Wink wink)

Jokes aside, did it run without the drivers with any problems?

Ubuntu indeed

what an a-hole... hans, bring the flammenwerfer!

@leanrob Thank you pal. Let's clear some things up.

Knowing X number of programming languages or learning a new one or doing something faster / cleaner is about being a good or bad developer.

On the other hand, being a senior developer is more about foreseeing potential problems; manifacturing fast and on-point solutions when they occur; have experience and solutions on industrial problems (like specific alghoritms on specific situations).

No matter what language you develop your software on, the problems and solutions are not so different after all.

And as today's development standards get more and more generic every day (like versioning and staging mechanisms or project collaboration approaches) you don't have to be a senior dev to know about and use them.

I hope this clears up my view on the subject. Cheers!

@gitpush thank you pal, good to have someone to see eye to eye

@gitpush I'm not saying knowing more is bad, on the contrary it adds to the person. But we cannot define seniority with quantity, that is wrong IMHO.

And about the new-language-frenzy of the industry is nothing good. Everything is like Steam games, all in early access, all incomplete, all doomed to be abandoned for another half-baked newer language. This is where I stand.

@gitpush all is fine-ish but knowing only one programming language being a bad thing? Why would you say that?

There are people who still work on Cobol and get huge salaries from Airline companies because many flight Info systems are based on Cobol. Being a sr dev is not about quantity, but more about quality.

@leanrob :) Indeed I do understand the issue. I'm not saying I am on of the marginal 5% people but I totally need some extra measures to get to the peak of my productivity in my workspace.

The "that's the way we've done it" issue is a very ancient trait IMHO. When I was in UK the house I lived in had those old English style faucets. There is only one outlet on it but it somehow seperates the hot and cold water inside of it and when you put your hand under the faucet your hand both gets burned and froze under the water.

When I asked the plumber why they don't mix the hot and cold water he said to me "It's always been like this around here, so I never asked why" :)

Same thing goes with every job in everywhere...

Cheers!

The problems you refer to belong to the industrial-era a.k.a the second wave corporates. (Refer to Alvin Toffler's masterpiece Third Wave for more info).

The solution you point towards is the third wave industrial model where education, workflow, lifestyle, or everything is "customized" to person's liking.

However, you must note that even the most "flat organized" workplaces have limits towards this customization in order to keep stability. The marginal 5% is very well below the critical if you can somehow isolate those people but the problem in achieving such versatility in socially involved workplaces is no easy task. Let me elaborate:

When I was in high school I was staying at school dorms and any kind of electronic devices were banned. I was the worst student at school marks-wise but gone to top 5 by smuggling my walkman to dorms which was apprehended and given back after my huge drop in exams.

The reason of ban was "everyone wants walkman and will stop studying if we let them"

I believe this is a heavily classified document. Is Jesus from black ops or sth?

@electrineer tbh, all these years of me installing windows I always had multiple disks on my pc and never had such kind of thing. this one was because of me being extremely pissed off and not paying enough attention on what I was doing :)

Thank you @coolq, it's a really educational explanation. Instead of deleting my ignorant rant, I will keep it so people like me can learn from it :) Thanks again!

@Vitz That's a platform with 50cm height. A regular humanbeing such as I needs to climb there in two steps for a healthy approach, aye?

@Floydian I will after comments and upvotes stop (everyone who missed the post before saw this)

@Floydian oh, should I delete it?

@stop I'm in position, moving in

@irene Agreed. According to Alvin Toffler, democracy is a machine that only put into work once in a few years to simulate the right to choose to the masses. After the simulation, the machine is shut down for next few years. However industries and moneyholders own another machine that never stops and this is the true engine running the world.

@fhomolka oh dear, I might have sounded more serious than I intended :)

Vim? Oh, that's a prank created by the first Unix people for screwing with new Unix users by stucking them. Stay away from it.

Play Watchdogs 2.

@lotd indeed.

I would suggest you to read Third Wave from Alvin Toffler. This matter has been handled and explained very well along with all other problems industries have.

@Condor whatever you say, pal 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

@Condor yeah sure m8, I "believe" ya 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

@Condor "etc"

@loebkes oops, sorryyy -_-
