A show-off would be a person who "wants to prove only s/he can do the thing". This is more about being so excited & interested in the subject that when you do things you experience a "sense of wonder" and are excited to share with others. Think of the experience of a science show where the "teacher" fills a balloon with hydrogen then ignites it. Not a show-off but enjoying the experience of others experiencing the science. Of course you have to be open to accept others input. The point of the book is that everyone is exciting about what they're learning, not _who_ learned it first.

    Clean code is for me only relevant for us, the people. Doing benchmarks to test performance of "clean" code is not correct, that is efficience not cleanliness M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?.

    He has been here for years under different accounts and gets very tetchy if anyone dares to suggest that he formats his code in questions, or reads the manual. Was thrown off the site late last year for becoming abusive. And this is his second account since then. He also seems to think that we are all too stupid to recognise him from the first new message.

    And this hear in is the very reason WHY I will not buy in to the subscription economy!! I got caught out once by Amazon AWS (Well the startup I was part of at the time did...) and Amazon happily took $19,000 of the start-up's money (That later turned out to be something that was their fault) and we had a hell of a time getting it back. I simply do not trust companies that want to have a "tap" connected to your funds before you can even trial anything, because it's all just insidious attempts to take money from you as and when they feel like it. It's quite basically, legalised robbery. "But what happens if you use more of a thing than you've paid for, how will we ever recoup our monies then?" Um, no that's really very simple. YOU OWN THE RESOURCE. when my credit runs out, you turn that resource off until I give you some more money. pretty simple concept, web hosting companies have been doing it for years. When my credit runs out on my linode server, it gets deactivated, the few things I do have turned on (Like my excessive bandwidth charge), they send me an invoice for if it goes over.... and take me to court if I don't pay it. Why should cloud services be any different? From a recent discussion I had with a plugin provider for SketchUp that I use: ME: "Hi, I'd like to upgrade to the latest version please, I have V1 and I see that V2 is released" THEM: "yea sure, what's your account login name?" ME: "Account? I don't have one, I paid for this about 4 years ago, gave you my pay-pal, you took payment and sent me the plug-in electronically" THEM: "oh I see... yea we don't do that any more, you have to have an account with us." ME: "Why? SketchUp is not an online thing, well at least not the pro desktop version I use anyway, I'd like to just buy the upgrade and then go install it on my offline laptop" THEM: "sorry, the machine you use it on has to be online!" ME: "Why?" THEM: "because that's how we do things now." ME: "that's silly, the SketchUp pro app is still desktop based, works without being online, and I like it that way because I often have to take my laptop and go out in the field to use it." THEM: "we wrote the new version so that it always checks if it's licensed when you start the app up, it won't work if your not online" ME: "ok, I guess I understand that, what if I create an account, buy my plugin, register it then close my account." THEM: "that won't work the

    I'll go way back in a second, but I have found the biggest problem with most modern fictional writers is that the series never ends. It's like they write a book and people like it. They are surprised so that just start adding one after the other with no overall plan. One series I got into: The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell. It was great for the first 3 books, then another 3 came out, and I think there is even more now. FOCUS. The worst is Kindle Unlimited. One series I got into is now over 20+ releases, the original subjects have died, they are now into great grand children. It just never ends. I will recommend "Old Man's War" series. Now, going way back, "Nine Princes of Amber" :) Charlie Gilley “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” BF, 1759 Has never been more appropriate.
