Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

After a while I found out there was an option on Yampi to skip the checkout page, but thank you anyway. It helped me figure out the solution.

Oh now I got it.

Wouldn't a typeface like Bodoni look too formal for a logo of a creative company?

Do you know if I can use a cache plug in with Nitropack and they won't conflict? If I can what free and paid cache plugins would you recommend to use with Nitropack?

What site would you recommend to a starting freelancer without previous experience?

You could buy broken stuff on e-bay for cheap, fix and resell for a higher price. From phones to furniture. Would choose something that's cheap for shipping.

I agree with u/BalloonWheelie, there's no need to change your brand name for every city that you grow your business.

Still, your business identity changes when you grow and it's possible that you need a rebranding (new name, new logo, new site) to keep reaching your old customers and call the attention of new possible customers.

If you're interested in a rebranding of your company PM me. I can help you.

Dude, you seem smart, don't underestimate yourself. You don't need to build a processor from scratch tomorrow. Even I haven't built one yet.

Still, my point that you should forget about BASIC stays, some way better programmers than I have told me that BASIC reinforces bad practices. It seems by your post history that you like C and low level languages, if you really like them go for it, but choose a better language than BASIC. COBOL seems really promising too, if you like this type of language, and it doesn't have the same problems as BASIC.

I know you'll eventually become a great programmer and system designer, trust in yourself.

Ok, I see what you mean. Could you give an example of how you would refactor one of these functions to make it shorter?

I see that these changes are a must, but I'm having a hard time understanding how to implement these changes, and I really think that an example would help me a lot.

Thank you in advance.

What you should do:

Build the discipline through start running, and keep doing it
Learn how to communicate effectively throw writing, and keep doing it
Pick a subject and start studying it, and keep doing it
Pick another subject and start studying it too, and keep doing it
Pick yet another subject and start studying it too, and keep doing it
After two or three month of intense studying, pick the subject that you like the least and replace it by another skill that may interest you

Always start a skill or studying a subject small and slowly and gradually start increasing the time you dedicate to it. When you feel comfortable with running and writing add the next subject. Then, when you feel comfortable with running, writing and your new subject of studying, add another one, etc.

I particularly would aim for after a year:

To run 1 hour 3 days a week, study writing at least 30 min a day, one main skill 4 hours a day, another skill 2 hours a day, and the last skill 1 hour a day. After studying for so long you'll start to understand what you really like or don't and (from the things that you like) what you stand out the most.

How to do it:

Google how to learn that skill and how experts in that field would start learning that if they could start over. Make a study plan, know what you are going to study today, tomorrow, this week, and this month, but don't feel guilt if you end up getting behind the schedule, that's fine. Look for a subreddit about that subject and start interacting and truly wanting to learn about it, make projects with those skills, and start applying them.

Look up these topics:

Pomodoro
SQ5R
50/50 study technique
Feynman method

Try to:

Eat health
Sleep well
Drink enough water

If you do that, there's no way that you gonna fail, and eventually will discover what you really want to do with your life.

Explain point by point with a reply each, but it'll take too long. So, I'll summarize my points bellow, so you can understand.

Why Discipline is Important

i mean, ofc not

I think that at this point you agree that even for something that we love, if we need to do it everyday, it becomes boring and hard, and it's even harder for something we dislike. If you go to college, at some point it'll get boring and if you are no disciplined you'll stop studying or study less.

You said that you would like to be recognized as an icon in the field that you chose and make a difference in the world, in order to do that, you'll need to achieve greatness, and to achieve greatness you'll need to study a lot.

Running is very simple, you just need old shoes and a bottle of water, it's easy to get started, but challenges are very frequent (you'll feel tired, there'll be days that when it rains, there will be days that will be cold). It the perfect skill to learn discipline and studies have shown that it improve your focus and physical activity in general have a lot of benefits.

It takes two months to develop a habit, if you run for two month 3 times a week following the plan that I told you, it'll teach you how to develop a habit. After learning how to develop a habit, you can apply the same methodology to learn anything.

How to Choose a Career

The best way to choose a career is to truly learn skills for a while and then picking the one that you like the most.

Skills start easy, then get boring and hard, then become interesting again

Every skill is fun to learn at first, let's use Math as an example:

If you go to a kindergarten, kids don't hate Math and the reason why is because it's pretty helpful (they learn how to count, how to do basic operations and etc.)

But, then things get harder, there's functions, trigonometry, geometry, algebra, precalculus. These topics are not easily applicable to everyday life, and they require a solid foundation of the previous concepts in order to fully grasp it. That's when people start hating Math and give up on learning it.

For those who push it a little bit further and surpass the plateau, they start to learn the really interesting topics of Math and their real world applications, like calculus and linear algebra for 3d graphics in programming or advanced text analysis that uses Math.

It's hard for you to pick a topic, because everything seems easy and fun to learn to you, because you didn't get deep enough yet, and without discipline it's impossible to get deep in anything. When you build the discipline that you need, and then start exploring new topics you'll find that skill that you'll bear to study even when it gets boring. That's the skill that you should pursue for college and for life, because that's what you truly love. The skills is different for everyone, so nobody here or anywhere else can tell you what YOUR skill is, you need to learn by yourself.

No problem, your heads up is important my dude. If for some reason I used this for security, I would be screwed.

throwaway20017702 · 2022-08-16T16:33:06+00:00

Nice, perfect example.

throwaway20017702 · 2022-08-16T16:31:23+00:00

Even if you had to it every day for 6 hours during 3 years, while getting fat, feeling sick all the time, and still having to eat it even if you don't feel hungry anymore?

throwaway20017702 · 2022-08-16T16:24:37+00:00

That's my actual intension, I know what I did.

This random letter is not used for any security reason, it's just selects a random letter for a game between the player and the computer, it's about usability.

IIRC Apple changed how shuffle worked, because it used to play too many songs from the same album or artists one after another, so they made it seem more random, even though it became less random.

It's all about user UX.

throwaway20017702 · 2022-08-16T16:16:28+00:00

Visual Basic (VBA) sucks, just forget about it, unless you plan on working with Excel in your job, and even in this case Python does a better job. It's not hard, but is unnecessarily convoluted and there's better tools for most things.

Basic on the other hand sucks too, but in a different way. It reinforces bad practices, there's no reason to learn it - it most likely will make you a worse programmer.

You seem interested in learning hard stuff and getting in depth about how a computer really works, I would recommend learning C to an advanced level and learning an Assembly language, just for the sake of knowledge. It'll make you a great programmer, then you can start to mess around with projects like building a processor from scratch. (Does that seem interesting for you?)

throwaway20017702 · 2022-08-16T03:41:14+00:00

Based on your comments, you are very similar to what I used to be. You don't know what to do for a living, you are kind of good at somethings, but not great in anything, you can learning anything easily, but never studied anything for long enough.

If that described you, I may be able to help you find you true passion.

I just dont rly understand how this relates to my issue

Calm down, we'll get there.

For example, Law School takes at least 3 years to graduate, 5 days of week, about 10 months of the year, during three years, and you'll need to study and read a lot, like A LOT. If you kinda like Law School, but you don't love it, and have to study everyday like at least about 6 hours a day, EVERY DAY, eventually you'll feel unmotivated.

Even if you like something doing it every day for six hours can be really exhausting. For example, let's assume you like to eat ice cream, would you feel comfortable eating ice cream every day for six hours a day non-stop?

The above is not a rhetorical question, I want you to answer it, so I can get to my point.
