codecutter··on A nameless hiker and the case the internet can’t crack
This is a great idea and I would like to use it. However, I have only the house number and street address. What can I do in that case?

PS: I generate separate emails already. Example: somebusiness@mydomain.com However, I have not found a single case where they leaked my email address, so I am not sure if it helps for spam and privacy.

codecutter··on Ruby on Rails in a week
I recently started learning Ruby on Rails about 3 months ago. I had zero knowledge about any web programming. HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript is all new to me. Using Ubuntu was also foreign to me, but I tried. I started watching videos on YouTube, especially from Traversy Media. Then I joined a few courses on Udemy. Reading books was painful, so I started actual working on code. I am building app to create a portal, giving information about non-profits. (planning to release my rookie code in AGPL license). Having a project in mind really helps. I really liked the simplicity of Rails' structured way, but there is a lot to learn and it gets overwhelming, but it is fun and I like it. It was also motivating to know that I could learn programming at age 53. Heartfelt Thanks to all those unknown faces on the internet who are selflessly helping others like me learn new things. Now I realized, that you are never too old to learn something new. Yes, Ruby on Rails is fun.
codecutter··on Are we losing our ability to remember?
My mind got better at indexing at the expense of storage >> Well said. I am going to use your quote :) (so that it moves to my long-term memory.) Thank you.
codecutter··on Amazon’s $23M book about flies (2011)
I have noticed such pricing tactics with Udemy. I typically buy courses for $10-12 range, but they frequently show me courses around $94-$136 range. (especially when I am logged in my account).
codecutter··on Google employees are free to speak up, except on antitrust
Freedom.. absolutely.!! An employee is free to find another employer.
codecutter··on Facebook, Twitter block the NY Post from posting
I disagree respectfully. It is your choice to listen to Twitter or not. I don't have Twitter/Facebook accounts and don't miss them at all.
codecutter··on Feds may target Google's Chrome browser for breakup
I fail to understand why people call Firefox as broken. I exclusively use Firefox (with all the ad-blockers) and almost never have any issue in rendering a webpage or a need to switch to another browser.
codecutter··on The benefits of note-taking by hand
I like to write using pen and paper. It may be slower, but I tend to recollect the content much better instead of typed notes.
