I'd love to get it in Mac instead of Windows though. This system does get on my nerves

Yeah, most software honestly runs better on macOS than Windows

Microsoft's office suite and Adobe's Creative Cloud suite are perfect examples

It's costing my school like 200 Per person per year

Why they bought it then? It's professional software, I don't think is suitable for schools

There's business and educational versions

if it is pirated or not, anyway they are stealing your data and selling it....

That's true. Particularly with Windows. They do a lot behind users' back

We used to use dreamweaver and we used to have graphics design courses but they stopped due to lack of interest

but now I have another problem. I almost completely re-coded my website.... everything was fine, I inserted a MySQL connection, works (connects, selects the database), but the problem is with inserting :(

I still think is overkill.

The thing is that any money you don't use in your yearly budget just disappears, so you might as well burn it on stuff like that

where I call the insert function, there stops my code

Ah. You told me about this. Very interesting way to waste money. No, it's not that way in the institutes I attended. The budget is always the same, so you try to save some money for urgencies or stuff you may need, things that break, etc.

I need some context... ?

We don't really have a resource budget since there's very little to go wrong and our funding comes from companies while also being able to cheaply solve problems, the biggest problem we've ever had was when Virgin fucked up internet and we got refunded for the month due to various issues

We don't have any written stuff and work exclusively on laptops, unless it's some engineering work

but now I have another problem. I almost completely re-coded my website.... everything was fine, I inserted a MySQL connection, works (connects, selects the database), but the problem is with inserting :(

How about switch to postgesql?

This is awesome. I remember a lady I met in London. She was from Spain but studied her career in some university there, in London. They had a whole building with computers for students and I was "WTF?? Why don't you bring your own laptop?". That and all the printed stuff. It was so... baffling.

But interestingly enough, she was happy with that. She thought it was a great idea because that way we don't have to bring our laptops

How about switch to postgesql?

It's all about reliability

Well, the institutes I attended whether classes or lectures, they got their money from public funds. I'm amazed that nothing breaks there, I mean... Murphy's Law would say that's impossible ?

But interestingly enough, she was happy with that. She thought it was a great idea because that way we don't have to bring our laptops

Goddamn, if I had to carry all the books on my laptop I would probably shatter my back and have a high enough density in my bag to create a black hole

switching to postgresql is always a good idea.

On your laptop or with your laptop? I got confused.

On your laptop or with your laptop? I got confused.

All of the books stored on my laptop, as physical books in my bag

Well, they didn't carry that many books but tons of printed stuff, like works and guidelines.

Yeah, that's completely true. Besides, there's a reason for libraries and studying/reading rooms. It makes more sense to sit with your laptop and maybe, a notebook or few papers in a studying/reading room, where you can check anything online or walk to the library, than carrying stuff around and using public computers.

Most of my college assignments are ~50 Pages by themselves, would easily be a few hundred pages if I were to write them myself

I prefer to have my stuff in my device, not going around with a pendrive and dealing with the s**** someone left behind or Facebook and what not.

You see? That's my point. What for? It's a waste of money, space and ruins your health.

But she was happy. She thought it was great because she didn't have to take her laptop with her.

We've got insane printers though, we easily go through thousands of pieces of paper for displays etc

And for uh, weird things

When I was doing history we made a 2M * 5M Poster of Hitler, then annotated his rise to power and other stuff relating to how he maintained power

Yeah, but... I mean, it was a whole building. With computers and printers.

Jesus... I don't think you can do that in many places and get away with murder.

But a poster like that makes sense. It's fancy and informative.

It's like hanging an infograph or similar.

But basically, there's no real rules at my college because it forces people to act like adults, rather than treating them like children

That sounds nice

How old are you in college

17

hmm

I'm 17 as well

It's printing mere text like works and guidelines or questionnaires.... you can do that on your laptop, what for printing it? And what for PC for everyone when everyone has a laptop of his/her own nowadays?

You don't get to choose your level of education in college right?

But basically, there's no real rules at my college because it forces people to act like adults, rather than treating them like children

Well, that's good

17

Really? You sound mature. I thought you were older

You don't get to choose your level of education in college right?

Depending on the course you can choose how much you want to dedicate to it, for my IT Course you can get a Certificate, a Diploma or an Extended Diploma

Really? You sound mature. I thought you were older

Thanks, I guess :P

You have specific courses?

I need some context... ?

it's in your inbox

I've just always mixed with people who are significantly older than me, most of my friends are anywhere between 17-40 :P

That's old

Oh, sorry, I wasn't looking at my email. Yes, give me a moment, I'll look into it.

That's old

That's not old!

That's not old!

For me it is ???

Because you're a kid! ?

How about switch to postgesql?

I thing there is no postgresql on the server

Because you're a kid! ?

?

ERROR: S client not available

I thing there is no postgresql on the server

Can you check somehow?

Do you guys also play a lot of sports in college itself ?

?

A clever kid well in his way to grow up.

Because you're a kid! ?

To be fair, he's the same age as me

Do you guys also play a lot of sports in college itself ?

God forbids! No.

Do you guys also play a lot of sports in college itself ?

Nope, it's a IT and Engineering college... probably as far as you can get from sports

Ah okay

To be fair, he's the same age as me

I know. I'm just teasing him.

Oh

Wait

Is that high school then where you play sports at school ?

Nope, it's a IT and Engineering college... probably as far as you can get from sports

I never seen sports in university. Where are you, @Woutert ?

Though I've always been physically fit because I've lived in an area that is really popular for rowing so I've always had to be good at it

I never seen sports in university. Where are you, @Woutert ?

It's quite common in the US to have university sports teams

Is that high school then where you play sports at school ?

Dunno. I avoided sports as much as I could.

Can you check somehow?

yes....

yes....

Please, do it and let us know.

Weirdos.

Weirdos.

Can vouch, the US Is weird

I never seen sports in university. Where are you, @Woutert ?

I live in the Netherlands

Yes that's what I mean xd

Are you doing a HBO atm?

Are you doing a HBO atm?

No

I'm in the fifth year of VWO (gymnasium, not as in sports)

In two years I'll go to university

Yes. I think people who is opensource-minded prefer Mariadb.

hello

But I'm fairly ignorant about DBs
