In grade 5-6 we had a course on typing, it was boring so instead I played NIBBLES.BAS and GORILLA.BAS started modifying the Basic code to give me more lives.

Some time later I got hold of Visual Basic 3.0 and made some small programs, after that I was told that the cool kids were programming in C++ so i got hold of Borland C++ Builder 1.0 and played with it.

The latest language I learned was Python, this was when Oracle brought Sun (2009) I was fond of Java but wanted a language that was not in the clutches of a corporation, and Python was already on the rise back in 2009.

I think starting with Python is a good idea, when you get better at the language you can then add more languages like C/C++ or whatever you feel for, because when you know one programming language its easier to learn another one.

That's easy you just use the huge number of test cases to ensure against introducing new bugs.

I was looking into learning COBOL some years ago, because i found that verbosity interesting.

And it seemed like there's not many libs and toolboxes out there, compared to the major languages that has libs for everything, so I couldn't really use it for small projects.

They are some of my favorite.

• Ghost of the navigator
• Passchendeale
• Powerslave

Google is broken, they have had no end user service for many years.

I think you can get service if you are a government or large company.

As the World Falls Down

If so, it was a lucky guess.

¿Qué?

So Elmo if you aren't cis are you then bi, gay, ace or trans?

Yep that's all well and good, but what flatpack doesn't do automatically is clean up unused libs/dependencies, over time you end up with several versions of the same libs. When the apps are upgraded they get the latest version of their dependency and leave the old behind.

10 out of 40 is 25%

10 out of 4000 is 0.25%

Great that you have 4tb on your root partition then by all means use flatpack.

I have 256Gb on my laptop, as I recall I provisioned about 40-50gigs to root.

I should have noted that I'll compile myself when we are talking about something that should run as a service on a server.

Because it's easier to use the version that's in the distro, and why do I need an extra set of libraries filling up my disk.

I see flatpack as a last resort, where I trade disk space for convenience, because you end up with a whole OS worth of flatpack dependencies (10+ GB) on your disk after a few upgrade cycles.

If I can choose between flatpack and distro package, distro wins hands down.

If the choice then is flatpack vs compile your own, I think I'll generally compile it, but it depends on the circumstances.

I think it's easier to fill a little extra after having turned on the engine.

It's a new coding paradigm, I will take some time getting used to looking for libraries in the uyghur/tianamen folder.

They can use the same name but if the owner signs their commits we can at least spot the fake commits.

And even if they clone all repos they don't clone the build systems, so their builds of apps and windows installers will be signed with different keys.

For people who follow guides to clone something from a repo, compile it and install it, they need to be on their guard if the repo URL is not the official one.
