Any tips for a beginner?

I find useful to slightly analyze my thoughts instead of thinking them: any time I find myself thinking about something I ask my self what was that, how long I thought about that and how strong it is that thought. That forces you to stop thinking that thought and then it's easily discardable. The analysis should take only few seconds, after a while it becames almost mechanic and requires conscious effort; in my mind the thought becames a window that slides out of my mind.

This advice comes from Mindfulness in Plain English.

This is not true. The law does not prosecutes "personal use" of marijuana, this guy explained why he needed so much marijuana and that he wasn't going to sell it, but just use it himself.

Usually if a guy is found with 200g of marijuana he is assumed to be a drug dealer and prosecuted as such.

This has very little to do with religion.

IMHO it really depends on what you are doing: small sized personal project in Python? I much prefer Vim over anything else. Enterprise project in Java? Using Vim becomes a hinderance. I for one would love a VIM IDE.

If there is an alternative to a proprietary software that is open source and works just as well, I prefer open source, if the proprietary software that slightly better, I still stick with open source, but sometimes there is really no choice. FTR I don't think I run anything proprietary on my laptop, maybe just one driver for the webcam.

At least it's better than COBOL. I kind-of know how to program in COBOL but I don't put that on my resume.

Yep. In PL/SQL '' equals to NULL, and you can't compare to NULL using =, but you have to use

x is NULL

Any comparision to NULL using anything but (is/is not) results to false, so

if x = '' then
    one();
elsif x <> '' then
    two();
end if;

does not execute one() nor two(). If you ask me, that's quite retarded. So, yes,

(NULL = NULL) => false
(NULL is '') => true
('' = '') => false
('' is '') => true
('' = NULL) => false

As a PL/SQL developer... fuck PL/SQL.

declare
    x varchar2(1);
begin
    x := '';
    if x = '' then
       dbms_output.put_line('PL/SQL does not suck');
    else
       dbms_output.put_line('PL/SQL sucks');
    end if;
end;

> PL/SQL sucks

Well, that's exactly what I do. Also Windows 7 is not that bad, IMHO the UI is better than most (all?) DE on Linux.

Usually people using Cygwin are those who are used to Linux but need to use Windows for whatever reason.

you should probably just switch to linux

And you should probably just shut up, since sometimes people get a job that requires MS Windows, but still like to have GNU applications.

I have a weak chin, so...

Me too, look at your profile with a side mirror and then die inside.

Having a booger coming out of my nose, or stuck on my beard. After an underground ride I looked me in a mirror and I noticed there was a bit of mucus on my mustache, I died a bit inside. Now I'm always worried that it could happen again, I think I should just carry a pocket mirror and call it a day.

People, especially immigrants who ignore Italian law, may not know you can leave your baby at the hospital and no one will ask you anything, not even your name, so in case of unwanted pregnancy they get scared and get rid of the baby how they can.

This. I usually write on Italian keyboard, but use the US layout, it just makes more sense, especially for programming. Also this confuses my coworkers every time they use my machine or remote virtual machine.
