I hold fartscroll very close to my heart as it's the first repo on GitHub I contributed to xD

No post-high-school degree here, never had an issue with it. When you encounter something you don't know - you learn it. As long as you have the motivation to and an interest in the subject you can obtain the knowledge, school or not.

I somehow ended up being the go-to science guy in the team, though I'm the only one without a degree... Currently I am helping one of the devs with his exams prep (statistics, calculus 2, LAAG, etc.) for his second CS bachelor's (god, why...)

So tl;dr - you don't need any of that until you do or are curious.

I think talent is merely a head start in terms of understanding (knowledge, way of thinking, ability, other thing the field of expertise requires...) due to favorable /dev/urandom. Once an "untalented" person reaches these same parameter values, there's no longer any difference. If they are still finding it harder to progress, they are missing a fundamental piece of the above and should address that first.

Effort is king.

It's quite simple - you either create a text file in the root of your project repo with the contents of the licence (http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/), or you add a comment to the beginning of every source file with something like this:

/*
* Project name
* Your name
* This code is distributed under the WTFPL License. For more info check:
* http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying/
*/

As the latter might be a bit spammy for bigger projects, I personally use it for single file projects.

For compiled distribution you just bindle the license text file alongside your binaries.

When using this type of permissive licence, for a nice finishing touch (or lack of) omit the "copyright" part.

I've been using WTFPL for quite a few projects myself as well. Perfect for when you don't care about any IP, but want to have at least one copy out there with your name on it.

Are you by any chance using 'killall'? The processes running within a container are still visible to the host.

I'd like to make a few points here...

Picking the programming languages buff over the natural ones', under the premise that with the newly attained coding prowess you could write an interpreter for all spoken languages, is fundamentally flawed. This doesn't take into consideration neither the massive time investment required, regardless of skill, or the extremely unfavorable effort-to-benefit ratio for the vast majority of implemented languages.

I would dare speculate that obtaining mastery of all natural languages, without the use of the pill, requires far more effort than doing so for the coding ones.

Language fluency is not only about knowing the vocabulary and grammar, but also the meaning (ultimate fluency would require full comprehension on the subject), its concepts (there are ideas that cannot be conveyed to, or out of some languages), and most importantly - the culture behind.

Not to say that this does not apply to coding as well - it's just not nearly as significant.

Sweet...

?table=;echo%20!!

As someone who is pretty advanced (huehue, ego) in quite a few coding languages and can get around comfortably in most of the others, but shifting professionally to management and architecture; and speaking decently only two natural ones, but recently developed a strong interest in learning a lot more (and started to), there's no other choice for me but the red one.

@Hultan70 I interpret it as such that they didn't want the string to be longer than its length.

I almost always need 3 turns to get my USBs right. Then I discovered this cool new USB type C - now it takes me at most 2 turns to fit!

And the same 2 year timeline...

4 years ago I had to take the rest of a working day off due to a spontaneous fever I developed (pun unintended). That night I had a nightmare about audio waveforms, Fourier analysis and parsing vray scene files (ray tracing), the combination of which (and a weird one at that) comprised the task I was working on that day. Amidst the high temperature, cold-sweat, and horrifying half-awake hallucinations, I experienced unpleasant trippy visions of solving said task over and over again. After an unpleasant day in the hospital the next day (which deserves a separate medRant platform to be built for the sole purpose of me sharing that experience...), I went back to work and diligently typed down, for half an hour straight, what came to be the solution to all my remaining tasks for the current sprint.

Happy end, yay...

And then the scrum master loaded more USs for me :/

Spends two more weeks researching and implementing an embedded OpenGL viewport as a desktop background so videos work as well. NASA never upload a video as a pic of the day again...

I can't stand reading from a screen and am afraid to even move my Kindle, as the dust and UV discoloration marks probably sealed my attitude towards it on the desk forever... All my paper books on the other hand are battle worn, every page overflowing with dead-tree warmth, love and care. Ahhh... *sniffs deeply*

I used to use Trello, but as my personal projects grew more complicated I switched to GitLab. I've also considered Jira's one-time $10 host-it-yourself licence, but it's better suited for projects which are bigger and/or more granularly organized.
