Did the skill come prepackaged with the calligraphy set or did you have to practice?

going home right now man, feels great

What will you do with it? Are you going to plug it in at home or somewhere else?

@GhostDev Grandma used to make tomato jam and it really was good

Hey, that's great! Finding a way in life after the injury that took away your art, finding a new passion and art to master. Also I think you chose the right field to enable your wife financially to get back to music 100%. I wish the best to your family and you, thanks for sharing the story

@fuckwit I think they surely have a video, unless the whole ship went down. Where have you seen that mention ?

@fuckwit well, then show us the spaceXplosion, or spaceXcubadiving, we want the fire

@endor exactly

That looks like a nice place to work. I'm just curious, how is working from that armchair? It looks a little impossible to type and use the mouse while sitting there :D

like @gitpush said, app designer's job is actually to care for app owner's interest - which may very well be "don't spend resources to get people who don't use Google or Facebook - we don't need them".

App creator can freely choose to do anything that suits him. User does not have to adapt to the app, he can freely choose to use or not use it. And all of that is fine, no one is obligated to do anything. Everyone can make their own choices - even if they are sad or stupid, even if they result in shitty product. That's all I'm saying here: personal freedom.

I'm just pointing out that the app creators probably don't care as much as OP implies they should and that he is in no way entitled to the world bending his way.

You're saying that like they care if you use the app

Some time ago my gf (now wf) had a really slow laptop (core 2 duo, 2GB RAM, win 8) with a faulty hdd, so we switched to elementaryOS to get some speed out of it. Still HDD was a problem, so it went back to the dealer. It returned back with a new HDD and a report: "Faulty HDD, non-functional OS"

what's the book about?

#showercode

@bcye

print("test")

= test driven development

you can do the last level in 4 commands:

repeat 15x {
repeat 3x {
walk;
}
turn right;
}

this is the only true, original test-driven development

Did you just pipe cowsay into fortune?

@Wcked I would actually be interested in that offer, if @Cyanite passes

@JoshBent
Yeah, of course it can be one of his interesting walkthrough projects. It can help him and his readers learn and understand some principles, but I would not put too much effort into trying to beat other matured, community-developed CMSs.
I agree with you that starting with an existing platform and getting some content going is a better idea for now.

Why develop your own platform, is that not a waste of time?
For general blog requirements, there are plenty options already - you can rather focus on the interesting content. Post us a link when you start!

good looking, pretty fast, Ubuntu-based, not windows-like but Mac-like.

Try it, see if you like it for power usage. For general usage this is surely what I recommend.

In a Uni course we've had an exam for which we received 'starting code' and our task was to modify it to achieve additional functionality.

On the first run, starting code crashed immediately with Segmentation fault. After 15mins of investigation (also by the teacher) we found something like this (only relevant parts):

#define NODES 3
Node nodes[NODES]
...
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
...
nodes[i].connect(nodes[i-8+2]);
}

And this was written by a teacher, not a student. He obviously did not even test-run once.
I don't even..

default Ubuntu thing is pretty good, imho

I am sorry to hear you feel like this at home. But keep going, there is a lot of good things ahead...
I hope very soon you find a home which redefines the meaning of 'home' to the correct thing for you

I find this interesting and will keep an eye on the repo, maybe I will find some time to contribute when something is fleshed out
