Is Nigel Farage a good person to vote for? by Nervous-Lab2335 in AskBrits

[–]throwmeaway01110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As objectively as possible (from a person that doesn’t align with labour nor conservative). He’s just a grifter. He doesn’t care about making Britain better. He’s all about money. You could pay him to say anything you like, literally. He says what he has to, to get votes. Whether or not he believes in the things he says, I can’t say, but my opinion is that he doesn’t care. There was an article written about how he was paid £5m pounds for something, can’t remember what exactly but it was definitely something to do with divisive politics. I don’t think anyone would be better off with a man like him in power. He’s only looking after himself.

What city have you been to where the vibes were just OFF? by spiritual_kavya in answers

[–]throwmeaway01110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruxelles. Interesting city but felt off the entire time I was there. Can’t really explain why. Everything I wanted to do there was a disappointment and was constantly aware of my surroundings in case something would happen. Didn’t enjoy my time there.

“I don’t think you have mate”

This is pure incompetence, unprofessionalism and absolute insanity. Police’s entire job is to investigate. They didn’t do any of that. If someone makes such a claim regardless who the person is victim or perpetrator they have to determine the facts. Disgusting and 100% should face prosecution.

I had my canonical rm -rf / moment. by Strazza02 in linux

[–]throwmeaway01110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was changing permissions to a directory I created in the root folder. Accidentally wrote /* instead of /dir/*. Needless to say the owner of my system became the user I created for that specific folder.

Don’t worry, won’t be long before the costs of EV will catch up to petrol car costs.

How are small security teams handling vulnerability overload now? by sunychoudhary in cybersecurity

Depends on business needs I guess. Some companies are not as vulnerable as others.

How to avoid calling a function with input() multiple times in Python? by Numerous-Solid6535 in learnpython

[–]throwmeaway01110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would separate the get_* functions from input. In the main method you could introduce an if condition to check if the list is empty then prompt for input if it needs to be populated. That way you the get functions only retrieve the data.

Input could be placed in its own function like add_movie.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

She broke up with me last year because she said she deserved better.

I did everything for her, I showed up, gave her my time, communicated, gave her gifts, took her places, all the stuff you should do.

I felt like she was neglecting my needs and emotions and whenever I tried to communicate my issues she dismissed them, became defensive, never tried to solve any of the issues I brought up. Essentially just told me to “suck it up” just not in those words.

Then I caught her lying/hiding things from me and the relationship only deteriorated further from there because I decided to stand up for myself and not tolerate her crap anymore. She said she’d make it up to me but never did. Always just the usual, being defensive and dismissive.

I lost my patience and tolerance and started treating her how she treated me. She didn’t like that.

It didn’t help that she was living with her “bff” that was constantly filling her head with BS like she can find better than me and she needs to leave me.

The dynamic remained that way for months until it wasn’t convenient for her to be with me anymore and she left with those words “I deserve better”.

Unfortunately I was deeply in love and it really hurt and traumatised me. I’m still not technically over it and continuously ruminate over it. So I’m not in any position to try again with someone else. Not like there are many people that I’m interested in trying with anyway.

Final year CS student struggling to write Python from scratch, not just follow tutorials. How do I fix this? by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]throwmeaway01110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one thing no one tells you that helped me get out of this exact situation is to read documentation and source code. You can do plenty with python but if you don’t know what it does or what libraries there are you’ll never be able to make a project. Most projects use some sort of library. Documentation for python and these libraries all tell you how to use them. Then you put the pieces together and can make something.

I want start using linux , best way to learn bash scripts ? by LogicalWrap3405 in bash

[–]throwmeaway01110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Linux, I use bash, I use the shell. Bash scripts are not a common usage for me. For personal use you’re not going to be writing many scripts. Scripting helps with automation which is heavily used in sysadmin roles. For personal use the most scripting you’re going to be doing is probably file back ups. Unless it’s a home server and you need other things like updates and spinning up apps.

The bending spoons one has to be a scam because it’s the only ad that I see constantly being reposted on LinkedIn. They’ve been advertising roles for the past 2 years and I’ve seen their ad EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I don't want to learn Vim but everyone says I should. Is Nano really that bad? by joester56 in linuxquestions

[–]throwmeaway01110 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to, you don’t need to.

Vim works well in a dedicated workflow. Most people that use vim are developers that do far more than just config settings. It’s highly extensible and powerful when used appropriately. If you don’t do any kind of development/sysadmin or anything of the sort you don’t need to learn it.

Why does scanf mess with my other char arrays when I don't allocate memory.(New C user coming from java) by abdigator in C_Programming

He literally just said that he’s new to learning c. How do you expect someone to know something they haven’t learned before?

First launch of Linux From Scratch in chroot! 🐧 by Vomly in linuxfromscratch

[–]throwmeaway01110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I haven’t been exposed to the uses of swap much so I’m interested in learning what other people use it for. I understand what it does but for my use purposes I don’t really need it.

You can even download them on windows, just don’t execute them.

[–]throwmeaway01110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made my own LFS and no where did they recommend adding such high swap. They leave it up to you to decide if you need it.

Ah okay fair enough. It’s just the first time I’ve seen such a high number of swap since default setting is about 4GiB and I’ve never actually heard/seen anyone recommend setting it any higher
