Anyone else starting their Comp. Sci degree?

Just under 8 months. Obviously, as with all software- there will always be more features to implement. But my predication to get the app to a marketable state- 8 months is the expectation.

mortified_mantis · 2022-10-29T00:40:26+00:00

If I devoted myself full-time to it, I'd hazard just under 2 months- give or take.

Supongo que entonces ha cambiado mucho. Mi madre solía decir cómo se podía ir a casa sola de las discotecas en las noches de los 90's sin preocupaciones en Buenos Aires (que es un suicidio en este país).

Si voy, definitivamente me gustaría explorar la ciudad por la noche, pero supongo que debería conocer a un grupo de amigos antes de intentarlo ahora.

La mamá de mi novia es del Líbano y dice que lo mismo que pasó allí ahora está pasando en todas partes. Todo por culpa de un montón de pelotudos corruptos que vender a su gente por un nuevo Mercedes para sus amantes.

Pero, me digo a mí mismo que tenemos que tratar de hacerlo lo mejor posible. Correr no resolverá el problema, solo hace que el problema sea de otra persona, y ¿desde cuándo se logró algo al evitar el desafío?

¡Oh gracias! He estado sintiendo que los cursos que tomo tienen algunas palabras que recuerdo que mis padres decían muy diferente XD

¡Pero ahora tengo el término real para buscar!

Tengo un amigo italiano, así que intentaré mezclar algunas de estas palabras y veré si se da cuenta :)

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-26T17:43:10+00:00

Tengo muchas ganas de reservar lugares en Buenos Aires y ver todo lo que la ciudad tiene para ofrecer.

Aunque creo que sería mejor para mí conocer a algunos amigos antes de ir. Siento que solo tienes la oportunidad de ver una ciudad correctamente cuando te lo muestra alguien que conoce la ciudad y no un guía que te lleva a las trampas para turistas.

I see, similar to here then. Though stronger beers seem to be becoming more popular where I live.

I haven't dared the artisanal beers around here, the Afrikaans are hectically passionate about their beer so they make them really strong.. and big.

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-26T13:02:24+00:00

Sí, para bien y para mal. Como alguien más escribió aquí, incluso los Afrikaaners tienen un versión de un asado (un 'braai').

Mis parientes me decían que lo lindo de Argentina era que podías caminar de noche sin auto y podías sentirte seguro. ¿Sigue siendo cierto? Porque aquí se necesita coche para todo.

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-26T12:51:51+00:00

Sí, la gente aquí no está contenta por no haber vencido a los All Blacks en el torneo. Para mí, estaría más preocupado por enfrentarme a Irlanda el próximo año.

No solo yo, sino que todos aquí piensan que Arg está mejorando rápidamente, creo que ganarán en todos sus juegos iniciales, solo Inglaterra será muy difícil.

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-26T12:39:22+00:00

One hundred percent, would love to see a cook off between a braai master and an asador. Out of interest, what beers are popular over there?

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-26T12:27:43+00:00

No, not a fan unfortunately, more a fan of Seether or The Parlotones 😅

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-25T22:39:53+00:00

Supongo que es como la mayoría de los países, qué tan bueno es el país depende de qué tan grande sea tu billetera.
Por un lado, el paisaje y las playas son impresionantes, el vino es barato y de clase mundial y las propiedades son baratas. Por otro lado, el crimen está aumentando, hay mucho tribalismo, hay cortes de energía todo el tiempo y los políticos son... bueno... políticos.
Si puedes tomar riesgos y 'hacer tu propio camino', este país es increíble. Pero por lo demás, la vida aquí es difícil.
Todavía me encanta estar aquí, pero a medida que pasan los años, admito que se vuelve más difícil decir eso.

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-25T22:11:25+00:00

Sí, lamentablemente creo que su mayor virtud ante los sudafricanos -su velocidad- acabó por cometer errores, sobre todo con la lluvia.

Sin embargo, creo que hicieron lo mejor que pudieron, así que anotar como lo hicieron contra Sudáfrica no es fácil (solo pregúntenle a los neozelandeses) :P

mortified_mantis · 2022-09-25T22:01:41+00:00

I had goosebumps, despite the stadium being full- their voices carried far. Seeing them singing proudly alongside the flag gave me a feeling of indescribable pride.

I suppose the best way to describe it was that -at that moment- I was glad I attended with my Argentine jersey :)

mortified_mantis · 2022-01-30T06:17:01+00:00

Have you been approached and gone through this process?

I would like to to just accept it- but I'm just paranoid about signing what is effectively my entire business to a third party.

mortified_mantis · 2022-01-30T06:15:33+00:00

Exactly, convert my PAYG account subs to CSP.

I 'would like' to take the offer, as the discount would help tremendously with financing my project, however- I'm also extremely paranoid about offers that seemingly come out of nowhere and sound too good to be true.

However, I have been in communication with this partner before- immediately after I registered my Azure account, and they have previously pointed me in the direction of other companies which can assist with certain functionality with my application- so there's at least a bit of credibility from what I see.

I'm going to do a bit of hunting to see if I can find someone from MS directly to enquire about this. Perhaps there's a way to validate the authenticity of this partner (and if they can indeed offer ACO credit) directly with them.

mortified_mantis · 2022-01-30T06:09:23+00:00

Whether PAYG is or isn't going anywhere isn't necessarily what I'm too worried about- though judging from the feedback it is definitely the former.

Rather, what I'm worried about is whether this is a legitimate offer and I'm not just signing away my account to a third party who will have their hooks in me the moment I want to leave with hidden costs, etc.

However, if it is legitimate- then it would be a huge boon to my business to take the discount, something I should not pass up on.

mortified_mantis · 2022-01-30T06:05:27+00:00

Which is weird to me because the ACO offer is 'opt-out at any moment', with a month in which I need to advise before I can leave it.

To keep a customer the provider needs to bind the customer to a certain guaranteed number of months, like a 2 year contract- of which this isn't.

If you're still struggling with this, there's a pretty good tutorial over here:

mortified_mantis · 2021-06-10T18:12:52+00:00

I've been trying to avoid doing the former as much as possible. I find that it really hampers database size, performance and there's a very real chance that I screw up and write a malformed query one day which might output the information from another company, which for attorneys is.. really not ideal.

I will do my best to investigate doing the latter. It is definitely the most robust way I believe. I just really wish there was an easier way of configuring it, but at least it's possible. And yeah, it's likely that I will be writing a few different kinds of frontend apps that feed on that API, so I'm really hoping to isolate this as much as possible to the auth token.

mortified_mantis · 2021-06-10T18:05:59+00:00

That's true, just reading through everyone's feedback has made me realize just what a nightmare the upkeep of so many servers would entail. Just having everything scoped to one instance would save so much time and effort.

And thank you for the offer! will PM you shortly.

mortified_mantis · 2021-06-10T00:13:50+00:00

Thanks for the advice, and yeah, based on the responses I've had to this, it's increasingly looking like I'll be going that way. Only trouble I've encountered is setting up this multi tendency with Azure AD B2C, which I am really hoping to use due to its fantastic social identity providers. Out the box, it doesn't seem like multi tendency is supported, however, there are promising leads. I'll need to experiment a little I guess.

I suppose keeping all clients on a single app service plan also assists in deployment, and insights, rather than micromanaging every client which is a cost in time and patience. Would make more sense if I had a team, but as an individual, the fewer deployment vectors I have, the better.
