If it's a data center owned by a third party, they probably can't talk about it.

It's fixed now ^_^

Now to register all those names with the .xyz TLD...

I bet Alphabet has already registered 90% of the .xyz domains, so they don't need .com anymore.

Probably just to show PG what real power is ;)

I hear the owner of the .xyz TLD is flooded with requests, so if things aren't registered now, they will be soon enough :P

I smell an inside job. :D

I tried to read the whole thing, but gah my brain just couldn't get past all the spelling mistakes. :-/

You should have kept reading:

> When I’d finished this article, I wanted to spell check the content. At this particular time emacs-ispell mode decided to that it could not find aspell, the program that I use for spelling checking.

Does emacs have a grammar sanity check as well as spellchecker?

I think that was a little joke.

Yup, same for me here. WTH is going on??

I'm a huge fan of Match 3 games and I can honestly say there's plenty enough choice in that genre without having to rely on Candy Crush.

Seconded (although the permadeath-style reset when you completely die annoyed me greatly.)

All the time. Negative thoughts are normal and increase as you learn more and can see where the flaws in your work are. The more you learn, the worse it gets, until at some point you'll be confident enough to look at your work and defend your choices (to you and to others).

This doesn't really have much to do with working alone, but it is harder to grow if you can't get feedback and aren't forced to explain your code to others.

If (like me) you are physically unable to get together with your peers IRL to discuss your work (for instance, because you're about 1000km away from the nearest person you can conceivable discuss things with), you should find other ways to do this. IRC is good, putting code up in github for feedback, blogging about it, these all help kickstart the next round of learning.

You may feel worse about your code once you get some external eyeballs on it, but it's likely you'll get positive feedback, which is always comforting.

There's no aboiding negative thoughts, it's a sign that you are striving to do better. Start worrying when you don't think you can do better.

I'll add to that by saying being alone for long stretches of time is fertile ground for negativity. The mind craves narratives and drama, especially when grinding away on what can seem like monotonous work.

My advice: cut yourself some slack Andrew. Understand that your mind is just creating stories (again) and dismiss them. Sometimes I will even smile at how infantile my thoughts can be.

But yes, I get cabin fever bigtime (I work alone a lot) and sometimes I have to get out, even if there are a thousand excuses not to.

Take care.

I just call them "noobgrammers", it's much less gender-biased and so much more self-explanatory.

Your term describes a different type of person. The two sets may overlap, but they are not the same.

that rule was reversed months ago

Also, while it was in effect it was not enforced against apps that used Mono.

Yea, it was all about trying to screw Adobe.

Why specifically were they trying to screw Adobe?

Flash Player for iOS sucks. But Apple doesn't want developers to forgo developing native apps while waiting for Flash to improve, so they just banned it. It's a clean break.
