would you mind sharing the names of the books you bought?
Nice. I would advise merging the countries 'México' and 'Mexico'. They return different sets of companies.

Hello, my name is Hector Canizales. I have experience in Java OOP and was the lead programmer in an FRC robotics team for two years. I was on the team for four. I speak fluent English (C1) and was born in the USA. Right now I live in Mexico. I also speak basic french and native Spanish. I set up a website all by myself and have been learning Linux for about 4 years.

My blog: https://blog.thetrevor.tech

The tech stack used to build the blog is highly minimalist, yet configurable. I wrote some of it myself. Wanna learn more ? See [0]. Well, now it runs on a Digital Ocean droplet after some problems with Arch Linux. I haven't fully migrated everything.

I'm looking for a place to learn a ton of stuff! I know how to drive.

Unfortunately the official History channel website always redirects you to the Latin American version, preventing people with a Latin American IP address to access any US content.
Is this with taxes included?
I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

I wonder if there is an equivalent technology or 'activity' from the 80s as addictive and individual as social media.

As a GenZ human myself, I can't really imagine that much of a life without the Internet. In recent months, I've tried to adopt a less-internet lifestyle, such as reading, doing exercise, etcetera. But I still look back and think: if I hadn't had so much time to use a computer and the internet, I never would have discovered my passion (programming). I also get into a vicious cycle when learning new things: I don't commit to anything. (just Linux afaik) There's just so many technologies, stacks coming out, plenty of things, endless things to learn about that I never really wrap my head around what to really learn and dedicate to. But I guess that's more of a general opinion on learning things, not necessarily exclusive of recent technology.

Ask HN: Is there any software you regret making?

After watching the new Oppenheimer movie, it got me thinking how vast science and technology is. A lot of things can be used for evil. Maybe the question is not about complete regret or not developing the software at all but about changing how it was developed or for who.

About life, some tech and linux involved.

Better yet, don't even write it in a computer, make it hand-written.

Tell HN: iPad Pro rejects correct passcode

Hello, hn. I come here for help and to document a bug, maybe Apple will take notice of this and will do something about it.The bug is the following: an iPad Pro (iOS version between 14.x.x and 16.x.x) rejects the correct passcode for the device. I am 100% correct that this is the passcode, it has been the same for the device for more than one year. The device keeps locking me out, saying...

Re:Netflix Will End Its DVD Service After 25 Years on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @06:07PM (#35621040)
yeah, I know. But as another commenter said[0], the lawsuit still does not explain why netflix changed its recommendation system.

Re:Netflix Will End Its DVD Service After 25 Years on Tuesday April 18, 2023 @05:53PM (#35620860)
could you explain a little more about the lawsuit ? I don't understand why they'd have to stop using their recommendation system.
I'm using an iPhone 6S, I changed the battery after around three years. The only issue is it gets pretty hot sometimes, still not sure what it is but it's manageable.
As another commenter has said, I'd recommend Processing[0], a java-based language with a graphics library. One of the best ways to get into text-based programming languages.

The tutorials I would recommend are from the Coding Train youtube channel.

You can make tons of games and animations with this, I mostly used it for 2d games.

I have only tried it on high school 10th graders, it's worked pretty good for getting them into object oriented programmming.

I'm pretty sure it does, at least with purchases. PWAs won't need to pay for apple's app store 30% cut.

Re:School vs. Wikipedia on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @12:58PM (#33165742)
I'm not a bot. I may just have been tired when writing this comment and not at all objective. I didn't mean that budget in public schools is an issue. What I meant to say is that the budget in public schools is not the cause of teachers saying that wikipedia is bad, it's more like a general mindset that people have.

There definitely isn't a solution in my comment. I certainly just critiqued. I did not mean that adblockers don't exist but that the solutions that my teachers seem to give me are also bad.

> That you can stick a space between the last word and the question mark to annoying effect, I suppose.

I didn't mean to make it annoying. I used to put it right besides the last letter but I've found that the French language uses an extra space. I think it looks better. I see you have a different opinion. I did not mean to be overly annoying with it.

Re:School vs. Wikipedia on Saturday October 08, 2022 @12:20AM (#33129762)
why would it be the budget's fault ?

I disagree. The private high school were I attended also said this about wikipedia. Yet it recommended using Google search and Google scholar for getting the primary sources.

But you know what I've found ? It's hard to read primary sources. I tried reading up on e.g. the cell. The parts of a cell. But I've barely found any primary sources for it. Everything is in ad-filled webpages or cool academic webpages with images but no references!

Also, I think recommending Google search is bad because it tries to guess what you're searching for based on the profile they have about you! That's just so bad for getting objective information.

That would be a very clever prank. Maybe it even has an antenna to connect to cellular or satellite-internet so that the person that control it.
