Thanks so much for your insight!
I'm a self-taught programmer as well. Started with the basics way back when like Atari basic, GWbasic, built into Forth of all things, then C++/C#, PHP, JavaScript, etc., then into frameworks like Node, React, Vite , Laravel, CakePHP and stuff.
I followed the Ruby online tutorial. It seems a lot like Zoho's Deluge, but I heard it isn't as optimized as Rust, so thank you for talking about Rails :) I'm excited to see what I can build!
Also thanks for the warning about outdated Gems.
I'm learning Ruby on Rails. Would you recommend it as a good website framework? Or something else? I've already tried Laravel, CakePHP, Vue/Vite, and making my own from scratch .
I remember being called an alien before. XP
What a weird thing to say to someone...
Long live Fixedsys! My favourite font since before time.
I found a version with ligatures. Love the thick equally spaced characters. Makes stuff so nice to read.
I'm sure this is only a me thing, but for me I found it easier to concentrate on specific sounds... Like the ringing in my ears.
As a kid, I've always had ear ringing, but it doesn't bother me too much in day to day life. I do have to ask people to repeat themselves if I'm not focused directly on them or cant read their lips, but at night or quiet moments, the ringing is a soft and gentle sound, like someone running a moist finger over the rim of some crystal ware. Very nice in winter on a soft moonlit night
I focus on that ringing in a nice quiet and dark room, let it sing in my ears, and then close my eyes.
I then focus on the funny golden geometrical sparkles, triangles, and if I relax, a small black circle with a white border starts to show up. It seems like a 2D object, constantly rotating quickly on a 3D plane, but slowly grows bigger.
For some reason, I find these oddities comforting. The visuals remind me a bit of the pressure halo's in your vision when you get a migraine, but without the pain, and covering the field of vision with your eyes closed only.
Once when I was 4, I let that black circle engulf the entirety of my vision as I lay in bed, and the black faded into a creamy golden background with rainbow confetti falling. Obviously it's not really, just some other strange visuals.
Ahem. In either case, I use these to focus and relax at night to tell my brain to shut up.
This is funnier in French.
... "Grenade". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ouch... My company speaks French as well. :( I get to hear the buzzwords in English.
My condolences, friend.
I'm glad my company speaks a different language than English, and can't use all the word soup completely. That said, my company is also wondering why my timesheets never add up to the entire day because always in meetings, scrum, or "can we jump on video chat for a sec because it's easier to explain vocally than in writing"... And that "sec" turns into a 30 minute tutorial I have to give.
That is so adorable! I'm sure they know how to understand, and are fully capable of showing you what they want. It's just a matter of IF they want us to know. xD
I'm glad Rowena is happy with Colby's toys!
Love this guy so much, I bought his cook book.
It's so charming with nostalgic reminiscing about his various tours on ships and stuff. Very cute !
Turtle day? Then give praise to Tortoise SVN!
Thank you for your service in keeping my early programming safe on someone else's computer!
