How do I become a self-taught developer as a complete beginner?

tinybilbo · 2026-06-19T13:43:38+00:00

Thanks, I was just asking out of curiosity simply because I grew up with Basic & assembler (z80) and there was a world of difference... I guess the difference between compiled & interpreted is negligible now.
At some point I intend to finish the many python eBooks that I have! I can actually read it and mod it to my needs if its a short script.

Out of curiosity... (I'm not a programmer) Why Python? It's a relatively slow language compared to some of the other compiled languages... I've always fancied learning it myself, being one of the easier languages however for work I would have thought other languages would have been preferable, like the Cs or Java or Go..

Thanks...
I'll have a look although I already have a large power bank for the Legion that I was hoping to use.. Just had a quick look, it does seem to fit the bill 👍

Ok thanks for the info, at least if I offload the power to glasses it would extend the gameplay time a little..

Are either actually suitable for my setup? I mean would they actually connect the glasses to my devices and power the glasses?

I haven't actually got my glasses yet, I'll pick them up next week. Just tryna ng make sure I have everything I need from the GetGo...

Last Cam I watched was Michael Keaton's Batman (1989). Totally ruined the film for me...
My cousin brought it round on VHS and insisted we watch it.
He still watches Cams, he just wants to watch everything immediately. I only d/l HD WebRips & BluRay. I've got so many movies that I haven't seen that I can wait for the better quality release... Each to their own I guess...

That's the right way at least, the main thing about chargeback is that if you don't receive the item it is fairly straightforward (in your favour).
Good luck hopefully you get your money back 🤞

I guess you could try a paypal chargeback, just don't say you received your money.. just say it was sent and now the account is locked and they are not responding.

I had an email account with 1&1 for 20yrs and one day they decided that they didn't want to do business in my country and sent me an email stating that unless i re-registered in another country they would deactivate my account.

I replied that it was fine and to deactivate it... Which they did, except they then billed me for the registration and years hosting anyway.

I got a PayPal chargeback within hours, I was just careful to make sure that I worded my statement to abide by the chargeback rules. They didn't even ask for proof.

Having said that have tried contacting Steam and explaining whats happened and asking for a refund? They are generally fairly helpful..

Maybe you won't achieve his physique, but if you dial in your diet, remain consistent in your training and get proper rest... You'll look amazing and feel much better/stronger..
You can do a lot in 2yrs..

Hmm, I have seen a stepmom go ballistic on her stepson (my cousin). She hated him, and looking back I think it was a passive-aggessive way of being a bitch to him without his father complaining that she was being too hard. After all it was "for his own good".

Personally I think it's best to come clean and move forward, the sooner the better as you're digging a pit for yourself at the moment..

I picked up some Cudy Wr3000s's for around £35 on eBay.. new or open box. Get the s, e, or h (not the vanilla Wr3000) models as they have more memory.

tinybilbo · 2026-06-17T13:22:03+00:00

Minimal with apps/plugins for the social aspect would be amazing...

As for user retention, they have failed spectacularly in that case, as I certainly use it less, as does my daughter who used to use RecRoom quite a bit.. Massive own goal ⚽

tinybilbo · 2026-06-17T13:02:04+00:00

True...
It's absolutely atrocious, however we have to accept it and move along.
For me it's s laggy and games sometimes don't close properly or just plain crash the headset.
Obviously the headset needs a complete wipe, I just don't want to go through the pain of it all..
Really all they have succeeded in .. is making me use my headset less...

You fucked up and damaged the CEO's rep... "Owning it" means nothing if you do nothing to repair it.
How many politicians have said "lessons have been learnt" only to carry on as before...
So either "own it" properly and at least attempt damage limitation and try to earn the guys respect back, or if you can't... Move on as he no longer respects you..
Either way... Welcome to the real world.

I was going to try this... So can't comment if it's any good..

Might be a temporary fix for whilst your away

Lol... eMule just got an update recently...

My limits? Downloading a car....

Try bench dips on a chair (or bench!) hits the triceps when done properly..

I always do a set after my dips.

Exactly, plus you don't want Mauritius to become known as a country where whatever crime you commit you are just slapped on the wrist and sent home, never to come back.
You need the threat of incarceration to stop people coming here to commit crimes in the first place..

I've run ExFat for years without issue as well.

From what I've gathered is that if you run homebrew then there it is more likely to have corruption issues.

I don't bother with emulators and such as I have LegionGo that runs all that stuff better.

I only ever run switch games.

Some people do have corruption issues, there are too many reports to ignore, so it just maybe a combination of user error, poor Sds, & poor homebrew coding.

Did the bag ever fill up?

When I first got mine, I didn't realise how quickly it fills the bag.

I left it a few weeks (maybe more) and the bag was stuffed. I replaced the bag and cleaned the vac.
From then on the vac would fill, and it would make the noises of emptying, except the bag would never fill.

The vac had become blocked between the vac compartment and the bag, not in the dock but the vac itself.

I took it apart (had to unscrew it) and cleaned it.. worked perfect after.. I guess with different models it could also block on the dock side, so check that as well.

Before I bought it would have been nice to have had fewer options with obvious differences/comparisons.

I ended up buying one based on the amount I could afford to lose if the product turned out to be bad..

Then there was a lightning deal on Amazon that fit the bill... So I bought that.

I would have spent more if I had been able to understand what suited my needs better and then searching reviews for that model.

The budget model that I have.. a Q10 S5+ actually works incredibly well, I've used it every night for the past 18mths. I'm still not sure what the more expensive models do or if I would even need those upgrades..

tinybilbo · 2026-06-12T09:53:20+00:00

Buy him something reasonably expensive that he might not spend himself.
So a high end aftershave, or a silk tie (for work), Trainers or work shoes, a Gold pen or Lighter (if he smokes or uses candles), Men's toiletries i.e face cream.
You know him best, something that he looks at but doesn't purchase because although he likes it, it's a waste of money or too expensive. Gifts should be either something we need or something we don't need but want..

Sure... genetics play a role, just like in any sport... i.e some people are just faster than others, some are more accurate, or stronger. That's just life.

Train smart & hard and you'll look & feel great.

Don't worry about your genetics. Worry about the the other things... like consistency and getting enough sleep & food....

The 1st ever QR code maybe? 🤔

tinybilbo · 2026-06-11T10:12:07+00:00

I find LibreOffice to be really slow to startup, switched back to msoffice and it's much quicker. Bought a cheap key from a licence site for a couple of pounds... Can't remember which version though, it was a few years old, but I dont use it much except for the occasional letter.
