Use the waste packaging to craft stuff for your home and workplace. Start a forum/slack with makers interested in stuff like this and share ideas. You can probably build a lot of eco friendly solutions to your everyday problems with the high quality packaging.

The Facebook app is an abomination. It takes up all your battery, caches all it wants, needs access to every permission my phone has to offer and those goddamn notifications.

And it's not just Facebook. Every platform these days has been spamming with notifications. Quora's infamous un-turn-off-able x upvoted an answer after seeing your upvote or your Facebook friend y is now on quora, welcome him by sacrificing a goat to the mighty God Ra. Irritating.

Which is why I switched to Google-made phones (Nexus). No bloat, frequent security up dates and default apps. Sure, Google knows what I'm having for dinner, but it's a single entity I trust. At least I don't go about moving through apps, reading their TnCs.

Yep, you're right. I was thinking about it from an easy to set up development environment perspective.

Nope, apparently quick load doesn't load several IDE features at all. What I mean by lazy load is that it should incrementally load the IDE features after the IDE starts.

VS17 has an option to "quick load" projects. It loads up in a jiffy (unlike it's previous versions), but you cannot use some of the IDE features.

I seriously hope they add a lazy load feature in the future.

I personally prefer lxss. While it has some limitations, I am yet to face issues with rust projects. You can also use Intellij-based IDEs with a rust plugin and run `bash` in the command prompt accompanying the IDE. It feels like working on Linux ^_^

Good point. We use the Windows stack :D

Pm - "why can't you use some JavaScript to hide this?"

Developer - "..."

Your slides have a good overview and can be very useful for 101-102 sessions :)

But this isn't what I'm looking for. I have a bird's eye view, I can build apps, I can make games. But that doesn't make me a good Android Developer or an expert in computer graphics. I need recommendations for texts/courses in these fields.

* Android. Built a really tiny but useful app after reading up tutorials from a gazillion places in a couple of weeks. I still don't have a very good hang of the architecture or the most optimal way to do things. Any recommendations on this this front would be very helpful.

* Computer Graphics. This is one area of computer science I am really interested in and wrote my undergraduate dissertation in. I want to go back to the basics and get up to speed with the new trends in the field. Again, need recommendations on how to proceed with this.

* Become a Python Ninja. Python is one language I am really comfortable with and whenever I can't get anything done, I go back to Python. There are still several facets of this language I need to explore.

And lastly, I need to quit my current job and work on something that lies somewhere in those^^ areas.

I've been using this template for quite a while now, and my cv stands out, every time :)

Is someone out there actually using this method? How do I get an interview?

It's worse when you have the exact problem laid out and the customer support guy knows less about the product than you do. Two years ago, I talked to the Dell Customer Support about my failing hard drive and showed him the tests I ran to verify it.

He: What do you mean by failing hard drive? Is it not booting?

I showed him bad sectors in my hard drive.

He: Is the problem solved?

I: No! You have done literally nothing to solve my problem.

He: But your laptop is booting now, right?

I: Yes, it is, for now. But it won't in a few days.

He: I think your laptop has no problem. Have a good day.

I did take a backup and my hard drive did fail completely a week later. So much for tech support.
