I prefer to support smaller registrar, and a $1.83 a year savings isn't really selling it.

There are many approaches to this, but it costs me roughly $25 a year to renew my .com domain and pay for my $1 a month vps. Im using an open source cms and pay nothing for fonts because I don't monetize my blog (thus can use any of the non-commercial liscensed fonts).

I could use a more robust platform or a vps host which claims better uptime, or even find a cheaper tld for my domaim, but this works fine for me.

Ive been running a personal gitea instance for nearly 7 years now and have never had anything break with an update, sans user error.

I hate to break it to you, but they were just bots. Log out and log back in, and they play through the same identical "conversation".

I don't know what I expected, but that was very dissapointing.

The problem with this sort of thing being so rampant on the internet is now I suspect you and the rest of the comments about interacting with this site, are either bots, or not capable of differentiating between actual human interaction and interacting with bots.

To take that thought even further, how far will this go? We already have ai phone agents larping as humans, pausing to think, simulating background chatter of a call center, and the click clacking of keys on a keyboard.

Whats next?

This reads like a comment from a non-parent, or a comment from the kind of parent who argues its okay for their kid to spend 16 hours with their eyes glued to a screen because "blippi is educational".

And poor Judy thought for just a moment that someone actually cared enough about her to remember her favourite food. Sorry Judy, youre just not that important I suppose. :|

This is satire right? I’m just not sure of any of this any more.

Chances are the commenter you’re responding to threw the “x” after Mac OS as that is the common verbiage for the operating system, not realizing that X represents a version number. I know I’ve made this mistake countless times as well.

I’m not an expert in many things, and someone else will likely give a better answer, but..

I usually start with exposure. Watch videos, listen to podcasts, watch lessons, in the area of interest. I’ll be presented with new terms and concepts without any context. Eventually as I continue to do this I build just a little bit of context, and before I know it I’m asking myself questions. “Why does x do y to z?”

At this point the search engines usually can tell that I’m a newbie to the field and will return so very low level explanations of my questions. Maybe they are right, maybe they are vague, I can’t really tell at this point.

Once I’ve found some answers that appear to make sense, I’ll have built up enough confidence in my understanding to dive in deeper.

At this point I usually seek out a lesson or course on the subject. This is when the learning curve resets. Any confidence I had is often out the window and I begin to build some actual context around the terms and concepts I exposed myself to early on.

From there on, it’s all uphill. Taking lessons from many sources until I’ve gained a beginners understanding of the area of interest. Eventually something clicks and I realize I’m ready for the next lesson.

I might not be completely ready to complete the next lesson, but I feel comfortable starting this process over again from a slightly higher level of understanding.

It certainly helps that my employer provides us with a great learning/lesson platform that I can either listen in on passively while I do other work (to begin the exposure part), and begin taking lessons and completing assignments when I’ve gained a bit of confidence.

Hope this was helpful.

The author stated that the only logical starting point is to learn to solve problems in a dialect of SQL then approach problems of the same type in other dialects of SQL. You’re entirely right, and the author seems to agree to an extent.

I can see why this got down-voted, but seeing this in fruition would be quite interesting.

Of course, this would probably require sharing internal corporate data which is a big no-no.

Well then. I suppose i was overlooking something. Much appreciated.

I don’t get it. The first puzzle maps to “The reef is falling!”, but does not accept my answer. What am I overlooking?
