1. You will see no protest on the street.

2. You will see no homeless on the street.

3. You will hear no more school shootings or any shooting.

4. No more tech companies conflicting with the government.

5. No one will sue the government because it's perfect.

6. All bad people will disappear.

7. Everyone sings praise of the government.

This is better than Utopia, you should pursue it.

Say I name my package "foo", foo is the top level folder for the source code. Inside foo there is a "main.py" file as the project's start point, and other various modules, let's have one called "module1.py". Now, add another package under "foo", the obvious example name here would be "bar", and add another module under "bar" called "module2.py".

The project structure looks like this:

  - foo/
    |- main.py
    |- module1.py
    |- bar/
       |- module2.py

  import foo.module1

  import foo.bar.module2

To start the program from command line, enter:

python -m foo.main

Almost half of the time, I need to know if a number is even. Why doesn't it provide an end point for that?! Don't even tell me about the 409 status code. Am I suppose to know it's an even number when it returns an odd number to me? I only recognize status code 200, all other are errors, don't make this so complicated!

The age does not matter as long as you can sit down and code. You don't see many old people doing programming because it's simply not many there. Computing is relatively new. It's obvious most people entering this field would be young, older people might require a change of career hence less incentive.

I use to act as if I own a large stake of the company I worked for, regretting it much later when I realized I was doing too much and knowing too little.

I was just kidding myself pretending as an owner of the company therefore investing too much emotion and work into it. Why would I pretend something that is not true? It's not like fake it until you make it thing.

I do not know how much you know about your company, but I was an outsider that knew nothing about the inner workings and secrets about it. I thought I knew, that's the kidding myself part.

Unless you are a real owner, you are just a cog in a machine. If you perform well, you will be rewarded well as a cog in a machine not as an owner. Most decisions you make would not affect the overall situation. Just do your job well and try to spend time with something else you care after work, not something you have no control of.

We collected the evidences and filed police report. The bill is paid through a distributor, anything we ask about the reduction of payment, the distributor just passes it on to Microsoft. I feel if we don't find a way to talk to Microsoft, we will just end up paying the whole thing.

Many of you might think we screwed up, we pay up, but I think it's more like a stolen credit card situation, we can negotiate with the bank. How do I go about this?

He is not the only one I've met who insisted on not having FK. I've even seen large systems prohibit using JOIN statements.

Personally, I see the data integrity out weights the inconveniences, do you use FK for your systems, what are your experiences?

The sample image of the first feature is Confucianism surrounded by the fart character. The feature highlight only one found entry per line. That is what you get when you search for fart.

And a warm welcome to this imposter syndrome help group, we are always afraid of missing out on some tech. Accept it, everyone is missing out on most of the tech.

When I was studying CS in college, I always wondered why the classes don't teach us about the hot Windows programming thing. All we did were tiny console C programs. I realized that very late, CS classes are meant to let you know about the fundamentals. You probably won't use these skills directly at work, but you will have ideas about how the languages and systems work internally. That pays in the long run.

Just go explore and make mistakes, you will be alright.

Many of my code were like this:

    foo = one_or_none()
    if foo:
        do_stuff(foo)

    if foo := one_or_none():
        do_stuff(foo)

I "fixed" it by refreshing Firefox. You can refresh Firefox from [Help] menu item, and choose [Trouble shooting Mode...]
