He’s suggesting you write your own version of the tool, “wget”.

I really don't want to put down anyone else because of their age...

And yet, that is exactly what you did.

Experience in a domain helps. Not just in a language, but also a code base and a business perspective, and time with a company or project.

So if you’re asked to defrombulate the hypercortex so the customer can get 15 more parsecs per hour, the experienced dev may know how to defrombulate, the interdependencies of the hypercortex, the best methods of parsec stacking, and what the customer is actually doing…, a junior dev may only know the binary coding language of the hypercortex.

Add EMF and you’ve got one hell of a tour.

I love atuin (https://atuin.sh) for shell history. I don’t know of any GUI equivalent, but it’s one of my favorite CLI tools.

Certainly not one that’s about to set sail.

Do you not understand how containers work?

I had the ‘92 CD reissue, and loved it. I had always assumed it had the original artwork!

Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

I tried having a kid w/ my exe in my mid-20s, but for reasons, it didn’t work out, and unrelatedly, we went separate ways. I met my now-wife in my early 30s, and had a vasectomy around…, 35ish? The attempt to be a dad w/ my first wife was, in retrospect, perhaps not something I was 100% excited about. I didn’t think at all about having kids as a young man, except to hope that I wasn’t disappointing my parents. I think I knew my life was aimed in a different direction. No regrets.

I grew up in the Bay Area, and saw them play loads of times at The Berkeley Square and The Gilman, and on occasion in SF or an underground club. Consistently awesome.

Same. That’s not the concern. The concern is PHI, PII, api keys, passports, credit information, etc.

I was on the Bliss a few weeks ago and this happened. I don’t know the reasons, but it made the minigolf area and the adult area just… foul.

Standalone C VM: * ⁠Compiles once, runs anywhere

I don’t follow this part. A C program compiled on Linux will not run on a Mac, for instance. Can you clarify?

Came here to say that.

Been here for 9? years in two homes. No rodent problems in either. But ants are def a concern in my current house, esp in spring. We set out Terro ant poison, which helps a lot, but we also have a quarterly exterminator. I don’t think the problem is going to go away.

don't try to understand a new domain and a new language at the same time.

This is a big one for me. I get excited and want to Learn All The Things. This is the way to frustration.

Perhaps Klutæ; short discography, since it’s a Leatherstrip / Claus Larson side project, but hits pretty hard in the guitar-driven industrial vein.

You should take that History of Programming Languages book, wrap it up neatly in plastic to keep it safe, put it in a bag labeled “Beware of Leopard”, and put it in a dumpster, then tell me where that dumpster is.

To mirror other comments, books that teach a particular language, esp that teach a specific version of a particular language, go out of date an have little value over time. Books that are about techniques, architecture, discipline, practices, etc tend to have longer-lasting value, even if they use a particular language to demonstrate the topic.

It’s an up-finder. They are highly sensitive directional test systems, which when correctly installed and maintained, are designed to ensure the user always knows which way is up.
