YES!!! I recognized it as a Goosebumps cover instantly too! What a blast to the past, I loved those. This one is from book #4 “Say Cheese and Die!”

Thanks for understanding! By and large I agree with you. It’s valuable to be able to communicate with 1st/2nd/3rd gen immigrants in their native language or that of their ancestors. And it’s just fact that immigration from Turkey is a part of German culture so it’s worth building up a friendship between the two countries. (As long as we don’t get into politics…) I tried to say that I know a bit of Turkish but I don’t get to use it much in my daily life ^^

thank you <3

Of course it should be optional, no one said it should be mandatory

I made the distinction because English and French were mandatory at my school in Germany. Many more languages were offered though if they had a teacher available. I remember Spanish, Italian and Chinese, I just can’t remember if Turkish was one of them.

I feel like the defensiveness of that argument is not entirely accidental.

My family is Kurdish, so I admit that maybe there’s a subconscious bias when learning Turkish comes up, if you know anything about the situation in Turkey and Kurdistan 🙂

as if learning french in school would be relevant to the migration of germans to france.

French skills are extremely valuable to Germans who want to work in Switzerland or Luxembourg

Btw, ben de biraz türkçe biliyorum, ama çok konuşmiyorum… in my daily life 😅 Dunno how to say that last part

English and French are world languages and open up job opportunities. Turkish is only spoken in Turkey, it isn’t interesting economically and immigration from Turkey to Germany is a one-way street. If you want to learn Turkish that’s cool, but it is and should be optional at school.

I remember a comedy sketch. A guy is walking down the street when a uniformed captain interrupts him angrily and asks why he’s not at work. The captain drags him to the docks and puts him to work. Turns out the guy is wearing a shirt with a generic print like ‘Navy Club Est. 1972’ - Does anyone remember where this is from?

Sure, go out for a walk into town or the forest, or a bike ride. Meet nobody who wants to talk to you, take photos that nobody wants to see or just sit and listen to birdsong. The one thing I have gained out of going outside frequently is the realization that we are one organic system, every plant, every animal, unified by the fact that every living creature has a finite life span. So my body too will rot and decay, I will no longer exist in the present and that is beautiful, for however much I hate my life, it is no different from that of a squashed bug on the dirtpath.

Wouldn’t mixing with a wide variety of ages from 18 to 118 be better?

You will work in the NHS or the firefighters and so on, so you will certainly engage with community members of all ages and from all wakes of life. For a year of mandatory service that everybody is meant to complete, 18 is arguably the best time to do it.

slavery

When you walk on a public road past a hospital do you think to yourself “they stole my money to build this”? You have rights and duties as a citizen. Your service benefits the community as a whole.

Also why is the stick to make people do it a fine (so that the rich will just pay if their kids don’t want to do it)?

I fully agree with you on this point

Tests: Add a few test files.

I think this is an excellent video and I love the format of walking through a complete on-prem deployment.

My only criticism is the attack on “the cloud” as a whole. You can choose your level of abstraction, from a computer in the cloud (like EC2) to managed services (like EB). Personally I don’t want to deal with hardware, so I use a Compute instance on Oracle cloud (free tier). The rest of my setup is similar to the author’s.

CoconutOS is the one and only true OS and everyone should be using it and everyone else is wrong.

I don’t get it

Be aware that learning to code is not a safe bet for making money in this market. Of course it’s better to have coding skills on your resume than nothing. Coding also complements other white collar skills well (eg. program Macros in Excel or use Jupyter for bespoke data analysis). But code alone is unlikely to get you cash, in my opinion.

Same in French which is ofc very similar to Spanish: programmation orientée objet
