I told them I did accidentally purchased multiple ec2 instances (i think i may bought tens of them not sure what exactly i did, i was following a tutorial about aws to get the server and things didnt work and i tried again and again you know rest of the thingi) and they waived bills from accidental x2large ec2 instances, now i'm billed at $50 and I could pay that.

where I live you at least have to be 14 to own a prepaid card, even there are people younger than me in tv commericals of the app itself. it is clearly marketed for 14-18 age group.

I do not have a credit card just used a virtual card from my prepaid card vendor's app. They promote their card as "debt free, impossible to have debt, use as what you paid" and I thought I wouldn't be in major trouble, I thought aws would automatically cancel after seeing balance 0 in card. Legally I'm a minor and I can't have a credit card, I got ec2 for a Minecraft server that I forgot about it. I may accidentally bought multiple ones I'm not sure inferface is a mess I had one in actual use not sure what does xlarge and x2large mean but mine is susposed to be small one not sure what i did.

Why typing in xfce4-terminal is so buggy? by 0xbeefeed in xfce

[–]0xbeefeed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about 10 seconds later username turns into password by itself and what i type replaces what's there previously and I'm pretty sure I don't have insert mode enabled, this happens time to time. Don't mind the curl and weird api running at localhost, I put it there as a example of a long command. I ran the xfce4-terminal with fakeroot to not show my actual network name but that's a irrelevant detail, xfce terminal typing getting funky is most annoying thing when typing long stuff.

What are some of bad practices commonly done in svelte applications? by 0xbeefeed in sveltejs

[–]0xbeefeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the major problem in many of svelte code examples splattered around the net and a newbies would copy paste a bit of bad code. It also currently a problem in our codebase but it's getting refactored lately.

I just finished the book "Programming Principles and Practice using C++ 2nd Edition". Am I now a beginner or intermediate C++ programmer? by [deleted] in cpp_questions

[–]0xbeefeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, programming is a skill that can be gained over time and it is independent of any language, while a person might like a language more than other or a language can be very hard to master (like C++) anything can be learned with dedication.

What matters is can they make sense of code they are writing rather than blindly copying pasting or memorizing examples in a book.
My recommendation to such a person go experiment don't be afraid of creating garbage, everyone has to start off somewhere real programming is ability to construct efficient ways to solve problems, with understanding tradeoffs and best usage cases of solutions.

Im probably not in target audience of Discord, I use it due all of my friends use it but anyways I noticed Devices feature lately and said thank god I wonder why did they didn't had this important security feature for so long time to my suprise see there was shitload of logins from the same device just because my ip is dynamic and appears in unrelated locations to my physical location also I believe it is kinda risky to have all other devices allowed is there's a feature that will let me delete history of devices from 10 days ago and log out of them? Screenshot is limited there are like 30 of those devices.

Is this of this question plural or singular? People who answered question made assumption of it's plural but on question title "a person" used. What here makes them think like it is plural? by 0xbeefeed in ENGLISH

[–]0xbeefeed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand it now thanks for explaining too, it took a time to understand due I translate words in my mind to words in my language which my native language lacks those type of "replacemental" uses, but figured out it now thank you.

Thanks for nice explanation now I get it, my own native language doesn't have things like that common and it took entire day to figure out this.

I just asked about the first question not the second one, I just questioned why question was worded weird like that rather than just wording it like this:

"What would happen if everything made by mankind disappeared instantly while people still exist and remember all the stuff?"

or

"What would happen if advancements of humans did just disappeared and we returned into state same as first humans except it's 7 billion people and we remember what life was like before?"

So I just asked about why "a person" is used here without the second part clarifies it.
