LPT: go to ebay, search for windows license. You can get one for 3-4$ or so. You can even find dedicated sites that sells cheap licenses of Windows or Office.

Watch HD p.rn.

Joke aside, any hoby you'd have, you find plenty of resources. Anything, from programming to cooking, from carpentry to engine repairment, from knitting to forging steel, from chemistry to electronics, from caligraphy to advanced math. ANYTHING. You find tons and tons of resources (on the other hand, _filtering_ through quality material... that's another matter) about any subject.

Then, depend very much how old are you, if you are in your early teens or late teens, you can find chat buddies, watch movies, discover new music (artists AND genres), you can get [yourself hired][1] and so on.

On the other hand, these is viewed by a 30-40 years old me. Most likely, the 15 years old me would just watch those HDs most of the time...

I'm completely ignorant in Jenkins regard, but does it do anything extra that Gitlab CI/Github Actions/Bitbucket Pipelines & co doesn't do?

What do you think the benefits would be?

A tool that never let you focus on a task and pull constantly from your flow? That's great! /s

Docx & co are XML based, but they are _zipped_, therefore binary.

Which make a version control pretty much impossible.

Just a small note: You _can_ write any code on your smartphone and write any kind of code. You can't distribute in _their_ stores.

The advantage of running docker is that you don't virtualize things => everything is faster (boot time, access files and so on). (assuming you're runing on a Linux machine)

In Virtual Box you have this „Shared Folders” which basically acts the same (I have no idea if/how you can do this via CLI though). But the access to that is done via SMB, so even if everything is local, you'll have some latencies involved.

A good start would be Hit Refresh [1] written by Satya Nadella.

In this book he explain the issues he found in the company long before he was a CEO (basically, by the time he became the CEO, he knew what was not right).

Switching browser usually means that you don't have any extensions installed, no caching, no local storage, probably no malware and so on.

They suggest you to _try_ another browser and see if that's fixed. If is fixed, there is a problem on your side. If is not, there might be a problem on their side.

TLDR: that looks like a standard/automated reply

> You need a business license to work through it

Actually you don't.

Why not work on UpWork & co? I don't think they ask you anything about your age (cough real age cough). After all, On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog [1] ;)

Additionally, you can work on various open source projects (either by your own or just contribute to existing ones) and build some brand awareness too.

You can find a LOT of dev-related podcasts on dev.to site: https://dev.to/pod

Yes, it worth it. For two reasons:

1. 5.4 is end of life

2. 7.0 is a LOT faster. I cutted down the load time by half by only upgrading to 7.0.

Now, issues you could have:

- Old WP versions that are using `mysql_` (instead of `mysqli_`);

- Some plugins are using the old style constructor (a method with the same name as the class name instead of __construct)

If you lost that, you're done.

With current technology, it would take hundreds (tousands?) of years to crack your phrase.

Not a real answer, but more like some food for thought:

Actually those 10k hours are a (semi) myth: it may take a bit less to get started [1] and it's all about deliberate practice, not _just_ practice.

The „secret” is hid in plain sight: just do stuff. The more - and diverse! - you do, the more you learn. You know more, you can do more, so you can learn more.

Read it out loud (even whispering).

For me it's a bit easier to prevent my mind wandering if I do that.

Obviously, try to read it away of your computer on either your ebook reader or a physical book. If you read on a tablet/phone, don't forget to stop ALL notifications.

One word: practice!

I learned how to type correctly 10 years after I first touched a computer. How? This may sound silly, but about 30 minutes/day of Mavis Typing Tutor was enough.

After a week I noticed some improvements (although I typed slower, i used all of my fingers). The whole „training” took about two weeks (until i became lazy and stopped practice).

Hint: the exercises may look dumb, but they are wiring up your brain the _correct_ way (until you discover Colemak or Dvorak that is...)

Oh, that's easy. Just take a look at camera (tele) lenses: https://pixsy.com/most-expensive-camera-lenses-ever/

Seems legit, afterall Ponzi is not that new ^_^

Enforce some rules:

1. It's on the list for more than a month? Archive it without remorse, you'll never read it anyway.

2. Be more strict/selective with what it goes on the list. I usually spend few seconds skimming through the article I'm about to add. If nothing interesting shows up, the article stay out of my Pocket.

3. Keep your add to list/mark as read ratio at 2:1 (i.e. if you add two articles in a day, be sure you read at least one)

Long story short: I didn't had more than 15-20 items on my list for the past 2-3 years :)

In order to be able to convert in multiple formats, you need a base format that's universal and well documented: that's text format. But you need to be able to add formatting & more, so the format could be either LaTeX or Markdown.

To convert formats, pandoc[1] looks to be the standard.

Oh, that's easy: Code, by Charles Petzold [1]. One of the best book I ever read, that teach you about how computers work. The best thing is that it doesn't starts with any assumption and it gets you from the very basic - how a CPU works, how memory works - to fairly complex things (how video graphics work, how color video works and so on).

Super flappio.

I have no idea if there ever was an env. study that show one way is more friendly than another, but having to replace your computer just because you don't have enough space anymore, it's a bit crazy and it just produces waste, one way or another.

Good thing that Apple is _very_ concerned about environment and the reduction of the electronics waste...

Ratings received, obviously!

Don't know about other platforms, but UpWork shows you this on the project's sidebar:

Every line is important: if (s)he's verified, how many stars there are, what's the hire rate.

Usually you should aim for at least one 4 (or more) rating, at least one job posted with 100% hire rate.

Every now and then, a new app show up with the tagline „photoshop killer” or „photoshop done right” (or variation of this). Everytime I see this kind of promotion I smile and I'm pretty sure that would be a failure.

Anyhow, back to Photo Lemur: PS might be more than a photo enhancement solution, so although it might be useful (IF it works like marketed), it surely isn't a PS threat.
