Area51, here be raliens

Hi Aaron, unfortunately the company decided to take it down. I don’t work there anymore, so I have no control over this.

Hi Alex,
Is the vda5050 visualiser service no longer available?
the vda5050.arculus.de domain doesnt seem to resolve to an ip address.

Hi Matt, for now the code is not public, only the service itself is.

Hi Alex, is the code of the VDA 5050 visualizer open source?

Я понял! Стоит только создать репозиторию, и величайшие умы человечества тут же бросаются тебе её кодом заполнять!!!

Не сказано, вот и спрашиваю…

@zed, где сказано что я придумал эту штуку или назвал её?

Однако меткое название иБусь, сам придумал?

Постоянно нужны разработчики…. вы че, их КУШАЕТЕ?

Откуда у тебя такая мысль?

Во-первых моя нога уже давно не переступала порог Политеха. Во-вторых, зайди на Github и посмотри историю коммитов.

Если ты студент и тебе хочется сделать что-то полезное, нужна твоя помощь, например тут: https://github.com/roataway/roataway-web/issues

Курсовик, отжатый преподом у студентов…

I’m glad you found these notes useful.

Wow, thanks.. this is great. Sorry to say, I was wondering whether to buy it, but as budget is tight, I look for study notes first.. and you’ve offered these..thank you… I realise that there is some stuff I know, having spent years working with NLP language etc.. and some that’s a new frame.. but not worth me buying it. So I appreciate you.. thank you..

There are several things I experimented with over the years:

- “Valori mobiliare de stat", as explained by Natan Garștea: http://natangarstea.blogspot.com/2011/11/unde-sa-ne-investim-banii.html. It was good while it lasted, but the situation has changed. The rates are lower, Moldova’s economy is weaker and “stability” is the last thing that comes to mind when I think of Moldova these days.
- Bank deposits - that’s better than nothing, but after the “billion dollar theft", I lost whatever confidence I still had in Moldovan banks.
- Bank deposits abroad - the rates are very low (at least if we’re talking about EUR and USD) and last time I checked, they were even lower than the expected inflation rate; which means that you’re still losing worth if the money stays idle.
- Cryptocurrencies - I like the concept, but the problem is that people are holding onto whatever they have, which means that bitcoins, for example, are not circulating like regular currency, i.e. they’re not “in use", which reduces their probability of becoming a successful currency. (there’s a book called “Insolence of office", which discusses this matter, I found it very helpful).
- Buying shares of various companies - that’s my current experiment and it is too early to make any conclusions. I must admit that at this stage I’m mostly pressing buttons without fully understanding the implications of my actions and all the statistical data that typical investment sites provide. There’s a lot to learn here.

As for the other points - now that you are aware of them, perhaps it will be easier to deal with it. Living on less than what you earn is probably the easiest thing to tackle - just ask yourself questions such as “do I really need it?", or “do I already own something that does the same job?” (this especially applies to clothing). Or [if it is a device] “where will I plug it in?", “do I have space for it?".

One of my personal favourites is cooking my own meals - that has substantially reduced the number of times I eat in a restaurant. I cook at home at “industrial scales", so I don’t have to do this often, because the batch will last for ~2..3 days (lunch at work + dinner at home).
Another low-hanging fruit is to always have a “thermos” with you - your own supply of a beverage will spare you from paying ridiculous amounts for a goddamn cup of tea :-)

Start thinking about these things early. The sooner you apply changes, the sooner you’ll get results.

I came to the conclusions long term investments are the best way to store and make your money work. But now the question is where do you invest them? An actual advice would be considered helpful. Of course under own judgement as mentioned above :).
Thanks for a nice sum-up.
My mistakes would be:
* keeping saving in the same currency in one bank but hopefully in a stable country and bank :).
* not categorizing money, and killing the expenses.
* I fail to learning to live on less than I earn
* Puting money into something that brings me back something.

If you are trying to update original versions and update installers are running and doing nothing, you need voodoo magic during update or make explorer.exe crash trying to run original version.
