To add a bit of insight: most Payment-Service-Providers actually pay big retailers to be listed on their site, as it improves trustworthiness and brand awareness. So the Amazon deal might not be as favorable to Stripe as it might sound.
What percentage of that is phone and computer related? If you were unable to visit particular sites (maybe during particular timeslots), how much would that solve the problem? What other things could solve the problem without changing your actual habit?
Really good advice. I tried blocking some sites but whenever my 'bad side' comes up again, I always find a way to get around the block and visit the site anyway. Any recommendations on blocking a site indefinitely?
San Francisco seems like a terrible place to open up anything to do with bicycles. Everyone will just ride down the hill, park the bike, and get an uber later. Some poor asshole will have to take them all back up.
At least PowerShell is taking over as the default. Should have been changed back in Windows 7. Copy & paste with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V is what made me switch to PowerShell.

I am excited to dive into FP, however, there doesn't seem to be a 'good' language yet. I noticed that oCaml is running up but that's still a bit too much 'scientific' as you might say. eg it doesn't really come close to anything web/app related. If I'm wrong, please tell me! I'd love to do FP.
I've dealt with the same problem as you have. In high school, I picked up programming and before I knew it, I was programming almost all of the time. It's great to be able to have an idea and build it instantly.
However, life is not just programming. When I was in my senior year of high school, I got multiple job offers from tech firms in my country to come work for them. This monday however, I'm starting a university course cs at UVA (university of Amsterdam). This is not because I love programming less than studying (the opposite, actually). It is because I'm playing a long-term game instead of a short one. In colleges, there is so much knowledge right under your nose, and you get to work with people equally smart. Starting this monday, I'll be on the frontier of technology.
From there, I can learn, experiment, socialize, and everything else that I couldn't do while I was building custom CMS systems or optimizing a SQL database for some lame company.
Your working life can last more than 50 years, so be wise about choosing your fundamentals.
Yeah, thanks for clearing that up for me. Obviously, you can't rank 'programmers' on a linear scale, but you can rank programmers that are suitable for your type of work on a linear scale. Also, all of the best programmers have something in common: they're all very intelligent people.
Question #1 is somewhat out of the scope of this question tho, but I'm really interested in seeing thoughts on question #2.
I vote for quality as well as agreement. If a comment makes sense and is explained well, but I don't agree with it, I'm still very eager to vote it up.
I also doesn't make sense to comment along the same lines of another commenter. If my opinion is already expressed in the comments, an upvote makes way more sense imo.
Thanks for giving me a heads up. I've indeed only looked trough the syntax and as far as I can tell it's pretty similar to javascript/python/coffeescript. I know all of these, so I thought Swift would be easy once I understand the rest of iOS dev. Could you elaborate a bit more on why it's a whole different thing?
Yes that's exactly my problem and I can't find good resources that focus on that aspect of iOS development. The actual syntax of Swift looks fine and really easy to develop, so I guess that won't be a big issue for me.
You arn't explaining much of the actual benefits of the product, but for what you do describe: Bitcoin can also solve all of these problems. Why bother using checks when it's obsolete in 5-10 years?
Thanks. I'm only seventeen years old, so yeah I was thinking about starting at the bottom. The question I'm asking tho is: what should I look for in my future employer? He/she will be much like a mentor to me and I think the right choice will make a ton of difference down the road.
Thanks; that's true and in my opinion only logical; my experience isn't going more than five years back. Why do you feel like it's a matter of languages wheter to be able to be exeptional? I feel like I'm an exeptional learner and I can prove that with the projects I've worked on, but I really stand out in my passion and willingness to become one of the best in more than only programming, but (as already mentioned) the entire stack.
Lol. Thanks for the reference, but I think that you haven't understood my question by only the slightest bit. I expressed my ability to learn quickly and found myself (this is actually validated by real word examples) to be able to work on software projects with the skills I dug up in the past 5 years. I am looking for a place (not a university) where I can learn software devlopment in a quick matter and with a more hand-on experience.
I apprieciate that you try to tell me that you think I'm overrating myself, but I'd like it if you had some ground to do so.
