I used to have a program called netlimiter (needed to throttle individual aop downloads on a shared WISP that was slow as balls). I bought a lifetime license like 10 years ago because I liked the software. A couple years ago they got rid of the old version and bumped me up to the new version. About a year ago I got an email saying something along the lines of “pay our new subscription fee or you lose your access” and basically put me on a trial account. I pirated their old version years ago to see if I liked the software enough after a couple months. I no longer use that software.

Another time I bought a lifetime access for a game on patreon. About 2 years later the dev switched to a subscription only fee to access all the new content and never released anything from updated versions to the older public release. So essentially I bumped down to a free tier of access to a game I paid for.

I will pirate until I die. Fuck these douchebags.

Same. After Endgame I just kind of fell out of the series. And I loved the MCU and every new release was a good day for me. But Disney saw the cash and flooded the marked with low effort media to milk their cash cow as much as they could

Ignore the shit poster. It’s just one moron spamming an unfunny meme.

That’s a lot of weird assumptions in one post.

Good article however I would like it if the scroll bar on the examples was always visible. On mobile it took me a minute to realize there was more to some of the code snippets, like the square function in the .map() example.

Just another c++ boomer too scared to adapt and switch to rust.

I really don’t believe twitch is blocking Firefox. Check your add-ons, clear cookies, etc.

Unifi is ubquiti’s brand. They do sell routers and switches too, but I bought an AP from them like 6 or 7 years ago and it’s still working. I don’t use wifi other than for my phone so I don’t need to upgrade my wiress.

You can purchase wireless access points for fairly cheap from ubiquiti. Wire it into a switch and once you configure it you’re done. You don’t need the software for it running 24/7 unless you like metrics.

Almost as bad as the ones that ask you to rate their app every couple of days/weeks. They all get 1 star with a comment saying they kept asking me to rate and nothing else. I’ll ignore the pop-up once or twice but if it gets annoying Ill make it backfire in them.

Did you remember to give the HTML elements a class or id tag?

I just went over the HTML and css fundamentals about 2 or 3 months ago. But like the other person said, we can’t really diagnose the issue without seeing your code. Alternatively chatgpt has been a helpful tool when I get stuck.

Not as much money if they did that.

Too late. They let their community fester and become toxic to all new programmers and have developed a nasty reputation. I don’t have an account there because of that reputation, and why would I now that I have access to chatgpt? They should’ve ended the gatekeeping like 10 years ago but they didn’t.

I can only assume the rule was proposed since the site’s growth probably stagnated from the toxicity.

Could your folder tree problem also be solved with a whole loop instead? I’m very new but it seems like recursion is harder but possibly more optimized approach to loops or am I incorrect here?

I’d like to believe that, I really would but I can’t when it takes the better part of 2-3 hours of frustration just trying to figure out how to reverse a string before just doing a for loop and going over each individual character, only to find out all I had to do was something stupid simple like str.split().reverse().join()

I’m starting to believe I am. Been at this for a year and I still don’t understand how to use methods like .filter() or .map() despite reading and practicing, it’s all just smashing the keyboard until it works. I know some other devs will come in and joke they do the same thing but no, I feel truly lost when trying to figure this out.

K.

That is exactly what I’m struggling with the most. When it gets broken down like the way you explained it, I can sort of wrap my head around it. But if nobody is there to do that for me I end up confusing myself

How long would you say it took you before getting a fundamental understanding? I ask because I’ve been at this on and off for years but I always end up quitting because after a few months I just don’t see any progress happening. I’m still forgetting things I learned 3 or even 4 times like how to do a for each loop.

But as you said it just takes practice. I’ve tried to find challenges that I could do and everything is just so overwhelming I have idea where to start. I see tutorials say to make a tic tac toe game or a calculator or to contribute to open source code. Which is good I suppose but all of it feels too advanced and I get lost on how to begin. For reference I’m currently learning html, css, and JavaScript. Advent of code was okay when I tried but once I got past the first handful of challenges it quickly went way over my head with sorting algorithms and how to make maps out lists for the elves to move or whatever.

Seriously. What is it going to take to get people to cancel? Stop paying overpriced fees until they bring them back down to cost that's worth it. Otherwise they'll just keep getting scammed and never stop. I just don't get it. Don't they understand how economics work or something? Or do they feel like they HAVE to have it?
