    @phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

    @phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!:

    Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles donā€™t have any bearing.

    Iā€™ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

    I relented somewhat here and added another swatch - one I missed, which was previous called ā€œblackoutā€. This specific one has been adapted to work on the new theming engine, but the others have been reclassified, and renamed to suit.

    As a result, the theme you might have had will probably be reflecting something else, so you (might) need to change your themes accordingly. The changes are as follows

    Light -> No Change
    Cloudy -> Is now the old ā€œDimā€
    Dim -> Is now the old ā€œDarkā€
    Dark -> Now a new theme based on the revamped ā€œBlackoutā€

    @crazycells You should be able to upvote more now as Iā€™ve located the hard coded function in the plugin responsible for this and changed it from

    maxVotesPerUser(reputation) { let MIN = 5, MAX = 50; let calculatedVotesPerUser = Math.floor(reputation / 10); if (calculatedVotesPerUser < MIN) { calculatedVotesPerUser = MIN; } else if (calculatedVotesPerUser > MAX) { calculatedVotesPerUser = MAX; } return calculatedVotesPerUser; },

    to

    maxVotesPerUser(reputation) { let MIN = 5, MAX = 500; let calculatedVotesPerUser = Math.floor(reputation / 50); if (calculatedVotesPerUser < MIN) { calculatedVotesPerUser = MIN; } else if (calculatedVotesPerUser > MAX) { calculatedVotesPerUser = MAX; } return calculatedVotesPerUser; },

    It appears that the upvote limit is 10% of your reputation by default.

    Do you need a degree to succeed?

    @qwinter very well put. Great points and I can certainly align with these. I personally donā€™t see no university as a barrier to progression. My old boss said that heā€™d take preference with anyone who had a degree because of their ā€œability to think logicallyā€ (I kid you not). I said ā€œwell, you hired me and I donā€™t have a degreeā€¦ā€.

    He paused for a moment realising that heā€™d literally dug himself a hole and fell in it. He then said ā€œah yes, but youā€™re an exceptionā€.

    ā€œExceptionā€ or not - itā€™s still a bigoted reasoning mechanism, and elitist to put it mildly. Class distinction springs to mind here.

    Testing out Webdock.io

    Just coming back to this thread for review (as I often do), and it looks like Webdock have increased their available offerings - some are extremely powerful, yet very competitive from the pricing perspective.

    10 CPU cores, plus 20Gb RAM? Well worth a look (and the asking price) - thereā€™s also a fixed IP which is hugely beneficial.

    Clearly, this is well beyond what most people will want to spend - itā€™s more of an example (but interestingly, Sudonix runs on something not too different from the above).

    However, not all that glitters is gold šŸ˜• - just have a walk through the benchmark report I found below and youā€™ll see a huge difference between Heztner and Webdock

    https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/compare/hetzner_vs_webdock

    That being said, the amount of HTTP requests that Webdock handles in relation to Hetzner is superior - @DownPW you might want to have a look at this - thereā€™s a free 24 hour trialā€¦ šŸ™‚

    Experience vs Certification - who wins?

    @downpw Iā€™m inclined to agree with the self-development - and the point you make about the lack of certification being seen as a barrier to enter professions.

    @downpw said in Experience vs Certification - who wins?:

    Because even without experience, if you have an iron will, you can be better than someone who has certification. With more work and effort, certainly, but does it matter?

    This is an interesting statement because I knew of several people years ago whom obtained MCSE accreditation, but had never sat in front of a real-life scenario before where they had to fix something - hence, the term, ā€œPaper MCSEā€. Essentially, this involves reading a book, then going to do the exam. Some people have that capability where they can retain a bulk load of information, and use that to easily pass an exam - yet have no practical experience.

    To me, itā€™s easy to identify these people. They can give you a text-book answer, but have no ability to prove it physically.

    And it seems to be less conflicting!
