Most people didn't vote for Trump, he lost the popular vote. The system is very imbalanced and was imbalanced for hundred of years. The people are bored with that and have decades of accumuled anger, they are releasing it to express the need for change. -

It seems like to me that this event put the fire to everything. People have decades of accumulated anger due to the abuses of a toxic combination of stage blue and orange society. It needed to explode/be released, this is not only about race, but this is also about deep inequality and abuses in the system. This is what happens when stage orange gets pushed to its extreme, the next step is to move towards green. This happened in France too a little less than 2 years ago. This is a general dynamic in the evolution of societies.

@Raptorsin7 I'm following the sessions that @ElenaO mentioned https://breathworkonline.com/ I do the ones on Tuesday, however, my free plan will expire soon so I will probably continue on my own. For the technique, it's deep breathing into the belly, I increase the speed as time progress. I would like to, but I never cried so far. I mostly had a lot of tingling sensation and hand twisting, and also a lot of shaking experiences. I often feel very lightweight after the sessions. Sometimes, I feel sad during the day and I would like to cry, but I'm not able to do it. That's frustrating, it's like being sad, but not sad enough to cry, so the sadness stays in the body.

Staying Clean After Breathwork I screamed so much during my breathwork session that I lost my voice, it will come back tomorrow. After my sessions, I usually feel quite empty and my ego wants to go back so instead of eating a healthy breakfast, as usual, I prepare some toasts with marmalade which is crap. I need to make an effort to stay healthy even after a huge emotional release.

No Screens Before Bed I notice that I sleep way better when I completely avoid screens before going to bed and instead just relax and do nothing. I'm sometimes very tempted to go on the computer because I'm an internet/information addict. I need to put that into action, that's critical, the quality of my work depends on how well I rest.

@John Doe A lot of good advice here. @Chumbimba I also started with C, but I would say that you can actually start with any other languages. Pointers, memory allocation, and buffer overflows are just concepts. It's possible to work with difficult concepts with both low-levels or high-levels programming languages. You can have very complex structures and projects that use high-level languages and that will push your cognitive abilities to their extreme much quicker than dealing with memory in C. It mostly depends on the project's complexity, so work on very difficult projects, even if you fail you will still learn. For learning GNU/Linux, I have been using it every day for many years. I know good programmers that use only OSX or Windows. If you want to learn it, you can start with Ubuntu, if you don't want that's fine too, it mostly depends of what you want to do. Linux is useful notably in the web development sphere as more than 90% of web servers are using it. I personally don't know a lot of different programming languages, I mostly use Javascript/Typescript with HTML/CSS (which are not even programming languages) because I mostly do web development. I used C, Java, Python, and PHP in the past, but now I barely know them. As a programmer, you will probably have one main language that you will use 80% - 90% of your time and use a few other ones from time to time. I think that it's a good idea to try different languages, select the one that you like the most according to what you want to do, and continue to work with this one. In my experience, I feel like I lost a lot of time learning technologies in college that I'm not using now. If I had focussed 80% - 90% of my attention on just one main technology I would have been able to create very complex projects much quicker. So, here's how to become rich as a programmer: Determine what types of projects you want to work on Choose a main programming language Build your skills with this language so that you become extremely good at it Be creative and create projects that will have a positive impact on the world Earn the rewards, live your life to its fullest, and die in peace The end

I have an idea for an online business that has a lot of potentials and I have the technical competencies to build it. I also know someone who has contacts who can fund my business, so I can get started pretty fast. However, even though I'm already a freelancer, I consider that I'm still quite inexperienced in the business & marketing domains. I would like to understand how competitive it can be and how ruthless other businesses can be. My idea is in the web applications domain, I need feedback, real-life stories, and experiences. Please share yours owns.
