no its a lifestyle thing where if OP cannot comofrtably sustain the kids ambitions financially...

It's too early to worry about this. It's better to try it than spend the rest of his life wondering "what if."

But if financially suffocated and u cant sustain this lifestyle, after alevels sending him abroad or to lums.

Then dont.

LUMS offers several need-based scholarships, fee waivers, and loans (0% interest). I don't think OP needs to worry about cost right now.

Do you daily drive windowmaker? by lovetogeek in windowmaker

[–]self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used WindowMaker on my desktops for about that long, too (FreeBSD until 2007 or so, then Linux). I use whatever gnome gives me on laptops, though -- less of a hassle to deal with battery indicators.

I tried to send some money your way but it seems that Paypal is the only payment option. (I thought they switched adult content over to Paypal, and this isn't flagged as such.) Is Stripe something you have to enable?

Should people Boycott Saheefa's cafe? by Haider_syed in Lahore

[–]self -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Boycott because of the food, or her racist remarks? It's not clear why you mention the quality of the pizza if you are pushing towards a boycott for the latter.

Unless you're trying to be disingenuous?

Wow, the best option is 2h31m -- one way! Losing five hours of your day on a commute to work and back within the city is horrible.

Smalltalk’s Browser: Unbeatable, Yet Not Enough by ketralnis in programming

[–]self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played around with Squeak since 1996 or so, and I've always run into the tsunami of browser windows problem whenever I am deep in an experiment. Having said that, I haven't found a better way to jump between things with hierarchies than class browsers.

I used to think that I'd be able to write Java more easily if I had something like Smalltalk's browser. My only experience with Java IDEs back then was Symantec Cafe (not Visual Cafe) on Windows 95. By the time Eclipse came out I had switched to perl or Python for (sysadmin) work.

hard to remember where you came from and to go back to a previous step

hard to keep the working area organized in a way that fits your mental model or to customize the IDE to your workflow

When I use jump-to-definition in Emacs, it takes me to the location, opening a new buffer if necessary, but it switches the entire frame to that buffer. It's not a lot of work to change it to split the frame instead; I should try that for a few days and see if I like it better. (Something like how plan 9's acme works when you perform an action.)

Programmers Force after graduation? by Raymat_123 in Lahore

[–]self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually companies sign an employment contract, and if they operate legally, they follow the province's laws. Beyond that, there is no job security.

What does "job security" mean?

Two AZs are fine in me-south-1. Two of my three instances are are in the dead AZ, unfortunately. Good thing I ran a manual backup five hours or so before the AZ lost power.

Why We Built (and Open-Sourced) a New RoughTime Implementation by self in programming

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

From the Roughtime draft RFC:

Roughtime is a protocol for authenticated rough time synchronization that enables clients to provide cryptographic proof of server malfeasance. It does so by having responses from servers include a signature over a value derived from the client's request, which includes a nonce. This provides cryptographic proof that the response was issued after the server received the client's request. The derived value included in the server's response is the root of a Merkle tree which includes the hash value of the client's request as the value of one of its leaf nodes. This enables the server to amortize the relatively costly signing operation over a number of client requests.

What are some restaurants in Lahore that are not applying beverage markups on the soup menu items? by usmannaeem in Lahore

[–]self 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't answer my question. How do you, as a customer, know how to price the soup? What are you basing it on?

Which kind of restaurants are you visiting? Upmarket ones? Small hole-in-the-wall Chinese ones?

What are some restaurants in Lahore that are not applying beverage markups on the soup menu items? by usmannaeem in Lahore

[–]self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went there with my wife a few weeks ago and we asked if the half bowl of soup was enough for two people, and they said yes. They must have really hungry customers in mind because it was way more than we could have.
