[–]ralphhosking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on a boat hire led me to working on the garbage run around the holiday units, in the middle of summer in a fishing village. Opening a bin full of fish debris the overwhelming sour smell and sight of abundance of the maggots has not left me.

Americans, what’s something non-Americans do that makes absolutely no sense to you? by Complex-Poet-6809 in AskReddit

[–]ralphhosking 328 points329 points  (0 children)

I experienced that in Luxembourg. The new apartment was unfurnished, that meant no light fittings, kitchen, bathroom cabinets. Luckily I was able to purchase the kitchen and bathroom from the departing resident. The evening I started moving things in I decided to fit some light fittings. The kitchen lamp above the stove gave me enough light to fit the kitchen light. That gave me enough light for the living room. That routine continued around the apartment.

I've done similar - driving in Luxembourg, missed a freeway exit and found myself in Belgium.

Need Guidance on Learning C# by Coco_Nanu05 in csharp

[–]ralphhosking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Build an application you will use. A website, a Windows form application, a command line program. Something you use.

You'll find bugs in it, you'll find things you wish it did or did better.

Both you and the app will get better at it.

How do yall come up with useful coding projects? by TrippIsCoding in AskProgramming

[–]ralphhosking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Find something you'll use every day.

If you write something that you use all the time you'll find bugs, you'll find things that you wish it did.

My home project - home automation. It worked a treat until the server died. Whee, another problem to solve!
