@innodonni In my opinion, there should always be an option to make these requests stop entirely.
Another option would be to only ask the user every fifth or tenth time they open the settings view. -
This child dies after you either fed it or played with it once and somehow i find that fucking hysterical

@Jilano you do realize how much this sounds like a threat, right? Are you the guy that got trolled by @xsacha ? 😁

IT'S GETTING WORSE

@taylorviktorya tbh it happens wayy to often that someone says "oh this woman has a resting bitch face" just because she isn't smiling.
-
Have you tried debugging it and looking at the values step by step?

@k0pernikus I'm serious. Whitespace is whitespace. Most IDEs automatically convert whatever you input so it's uniform across users. For ex. intellij converts tabs to spaces.
But I still met people who'd get seriously angry when someone was not using their preferred whitespace characters. -
We are all dead inside.

When I had just started with mysql and didn't know about indexing, I ran joins over two tables: one with about 30k and one with over 300k records. Queries took anywhere between 4 - 8 hours usually.
Did this two times, then did some research, found out about indexing, and cut down the duration to a minute. -
I can't really recommend any tutorials, but if you use C, be sure to also use valgrind. It shows you errors your IDE won't show you, and also memory leaks (really important if you want to write secure code). It's hard to understand in the beginning, but totally worth the effort.
-
If you want to learn the basics of object orientation and want to write some methods where you can quickly see some real results: learn an abstract language such as python.
If you want to understand the basics of memory allocation/freeing, security, pointers etc, learn a language that's close to the hardware, such as C. (If you want to get even closer to the hardware you could try assembly, but only if you're really masochistic)
C++ I always confuse with C# so I'm not even gonna try telling you anything about that.
Tbh, if you have the time, C /and/ python would probably be your best choice. -
I haven't seen an ad on YT for years. Yay adblocker.

@erik404 That's great when I'm working alone, but for reviews and pair programming I'm probably still going to bring my sunglasses 😎

@theScientist http://norvig.com/21-days.html found the thing I meant. It's kind of a long read but I really liked it.
-
On a side note, I think it's also good to learn C, because it's not as abstract as python and really close to the hardware. C is really fucking ugly tbh but it's important to know how pointers, memory allocation/freeing, etc work.

I once read somewhere that it takes about 10 years to be good at something, be it an instrument, sports, or any language. Still got a long way to go!
-
@rohitshetty I never really got that impression. Apparently I'm lucky to have only had positive experiences with SO until now.

I think once you get used to a language like python or swift where you barely need braces or semicolons, it's a little harder to get used to a language like java where you absolutely need these.
The other way around (starting with a language that uses braces and semicolons and then learning a language where you can leave these out) seems a bit easier. But that'd be the only downside I see with python, really. -
But why not stackoverflow?

Apparently it is rather common, but honestly, if your boss knows his/her shit, it shouldn't happen.
