We believe our account was shut down because we accept cryptocurrency donations including via Monero. PayPal partially locked our account and demanded proof for source and purpose of each transaction. We provided a link to grapheneos.org/donate. Our account was then force closed.

A broken clock fixed by taping a working clock over it is a metaphor for every codebase you’ll encounter in your professional career as a software developer.

I'm really starting to hate the term "normie" or the edgier variant, "normalfag". Why? Because literally everyone who is not on Facebook is using that term, including Reddit, Discord, some parts of YouTube or Twitter. It's meaningless.

I generally see it being referred to anyone outside of their views/hobbies, or who aren't part of whatever community they are in. That makes us all normies or normalfags from someone else's perspective. So you are basically saying that everyone who doesn't share the same niche hobby or world view as you, is "normal". Guess what, we all have niche interests.

Unless (almost) every aspect of your lifestyle is radically different that everyone else (that includes your job (or lack thereof), the food you eat, the media you consume, your political/social/economic views, etc), you are for the most part, "normal".

PHP will forever be the best server-side language because literally every shared host supports it and you can easily deploy a PHP server with the LAMP package.

And that's just for the Application cert. There are actually two different certs for Node.JS that the Linux Foundation offers. One of them goes over application development (Node.JS runtime, etc.) the other is about writing microservices and REST APIs in Node.JS.

So, I decided to pick up Node.JS and plan on taking the certification exam because that's where the market seems to want right now, but when I looked at the website this is what would be on the exam.

Seriously, why do I need to learn this much? I thought Node was just simply a JS runtime that allows it to run server side, there is literally no reason for it to take this much to master.

Thanks to Covid, I no longer really believe in anthropogenic global warming, so I hope they’re happy 🤪

Meaningful cultural literacy requires being able to think and exist outside of the confines of Current Year, and while there may be a few works in other mediums which transcend the spirit of the age, in practice to be able to really break free requires reading books, especially classics. Sadly this means you're gonna have a rough time finding IRL companionship on this front pretty much anywhere. Cities have the advantage of the most people, so that would be an advantage in terms of finding a few intelligent weirdos, whereas rural areas give you the most room to just commune with nature and have inner peace to reflect on everything, and suburbia is somewhere in between. Really the most important thing is making the most of where you are to cultivate yourself, instead of engaging in retarded arguments online.
