  • I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

    Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.






  • Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

    Hope you have a good day today.







  • You have a resume that puts your knowledge further than 99% of CS graduates, myself included when I graduated it sounds like. That doesn’t mean stupid hiring managers or HR department’s understand that though. Many places will auto dump your resume without a degree. Just being realistic.

    I guess the question if you love both is do you want to break for back working on cars or sit in an air conditioned office writing uninteresting code most of the time.

    There’s no real reason not to go to school even already having the knowledge. You learn a lot more than just CS and those in major classes would likely be a breeze for you. And you’ll get an opportunity to learn things you probably haven’t studied in the higher level courses.

    You’ll also get to actually focus on other things and take some really interesting courses along the way. You’re gonna work til you’re 60+. Take advantage of being 18 for a while before you go into the real world

    I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%







  • Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

    If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.


  • I guess maybe the thought with pip and npm is they’re very specialized and the others are much more general. Why bloat a package manager with repositories that many will never need when you can download a specialized one for a specific need. No reason to even have access to npm if you don’t code in js or same with pip and python.

    That said a way to add those repositories to other package managers would be nice and maybe possible. I’ve never really researched it.

    But it’s like anything else, get people into your ecosystem rather than someone else’s


  • Good read. Unfortunately I think most are looking at everything on a completely binary scale now. I can watch the news with an opposite spin to what I normally watch and still pull some interesting details or thoughts and get a good idea about what’s happening. But I feel like many will dismiss it in its entirety on both sides if it doesn’t come from their preferred source. Really strange time we live in now where facts can be dismissed on any topic depending on where the story is told and even when you know the truth about it externally.
