noob with 8 months of coding knowledge? That's why you have posts like:

My year in tech regrets ([insertyouwebsitehere].com) 7 points by spaceman_2020 on Jan 15, 2014 | past | 3 comments

I have been living in Brussels for last 10 years and have had no such issues.

Au contraire, I go to the doctor and get medication so easily prescribed that I'm afraid the doctor is to nonchalant ... (and always without an appointment, maybe sometimes 20 min wait)

Edit: regarding Sinus infections, quick google search shows that the "apotheek" carries and sells medicine for this.. so maybe you just had bad luck/was misunderstood?

Have we gone to the same Europe? Because across 3 different European countries I have seen the complete opposite.

Perl better? maybe or maybe not.

It can be very useful and they are pretty robust. I often found Perl scripts running for years and years without issues at different companies.

My main issue with Perl-scripts is that they often are not "readable" by anybody but the original creator. Which of course left the company. (not a fault of Perl itself tough)

But your millage may vary and any script can be made (un)readable.

But is that a intel/ARM thing? or a Windows/MAC thing? Would Windows on ARM also have a "everything else just works" benefit?

>"but never ever write a script for one. Use Python or Ruby or just about anything besides a shell."

And create a massive overhead because these python scripts just keep on breaking? No thanks, shell has its issues but saying not to use them anymore in simple scripts any to much of a hot take for me. (but please note this is a very biased take on my park)

Unless you're of course only want to use perl scripts... those things will keep on running for decades without ever breaking (or being readable)

Oh my.... I never thought of this. but then again, I use the side of my palm for holding control.

As somebody else who is getting older, I don't think life advice from any age should be taken at face value.

Don't know about Mint or other .deb systems.

But I'm pretty happy with OpenSuse for desktop use and MicroOS for my servers. tough if I'm honest, I don't know what are their main advantages over other systems.

"When you get up in the morning, you think about status. You think about where you are in relation to your peers.”

Uhm no.... Now these people are probably right about a lot of things, but the above statement is not a thing that happens to me.

offtopic, but it sounds you where trying to reach them as their car's extended warranty is about to expire ...

while you do all that needed tinkering I'll be just working/playing games thank you very much.

Jokes aside, Windows is just as viable as an daily driver like MacOS or Linux. But to state it is the most efficient & easy-to-use, that's stretching it a little bit.

>" so the only way to make money is to crank out "good enough" games by having the same engine run with different assets."

This reminds me of the countless dress up games I worked on during the Flash-era.

And you know what, a hand full of those dress up games made us more money then all our other games combined ...

Their slogan is: "Tracking the Explosive World of Generative AI" I would take anything positive they say about AI with a few (or more) grains of salt.

But you might be right.

Tough so far I have mixed feelings, just today chatGPT had issues writing a simple 10 line bash or fish function.

Funnily enough you can go to most countries in the EU without a passport or a airline ticket if you're European. (you only need an ID card)

But I digress and think you're right. Probably lots of people simple don't need/want a passport to travel outside of the US. Otherwise they would have had one

Uhm, kinda, it depends. Overall Copyright is all mushed together under some kind of global agreement right?

Because must I remind you, of your post of an hour ago: "property rights are paramount." ;)

I must be honest, I had to Google who Vercel are because that blog post didn't make it clear at all.

They should have just started with name dropping nextjs

Basically any swearing like "gosh darn" is to prevent from taking the lord's name in vain.

So that could fit the bill right?

Wait, did I get it correctly that they're holding the money of customers?

Wonder if the customer can then just challenge this in a small claims court as a European (if your country has something like this.)

Now this is not an AirBnB clone, but booking.com is even scummier then AirBnB or those German-clones (don't know how big they're outside of Europe tough)

Now watch Amazon bring out their own knock-off, just like they do with other products

I don't know, but to me as an outsider it seems that all have them have grown up in a culture where a little bit of humility basically holds you back.

But hey, I have a very biased view so it's probably wrong

Nobody really uses it tough... it just gets downloaded for those one in a life time transfers that go outside the EU

1, Europe cannot do hardware very well... on this I agree, software is okay but not close on the scale of US/China (or they start in Europe).

2 3 & 4, Wüt? That's not how these bans work... So could you please elaborate further?

Truth be told, The EU-peeps where often correct ...

Luckily this depends on the individual

This seems like a pretty loud statement to make ;)

Nope, I really tried to have one replace my desktop. But in the end I went for a laptop instead.

"these “system” containers should be able to run containers inside them as well (docker in docker?)."

I think you can run podman in podman. But your comment actually makes me wonder how easy it would be to run docker/podman in chroot

I'm ignoring the first part of your sentence because meh.

However "Windows remains the defacto choice for bros who want security". I'm genuinely curious about this part of the statement. Could you please elaborate
