This is one of those things that are so easy to over think :) the Play/Pause button (I THINK - NOW I AM NOT SURE) by convention shows the Desired state because you press Play to Start but in other cases I would say it's usually the otherway around. Ie Check Box has a tick/cross etc when it's True/On/Yes/etc. I think the Play/Pause is a convention that is the exception

Bummer it would take 51 reasons why I would switch to something as messy as PHP. I was so close to switching.

THIS!! Start with something simple like Python. I don't think you need to be good at math to be a good programmer. If you understand the concepts of math theny you will be fine. I heard Rita Wilson say the other day something like "If you keep practising something you can only get better at it". (not a direct quote) Find a Problem then solve it. That is the best way to learn.

It was a simpler time.

Use the OS you are most comfortable with. When it comes to programmming try and learn 1 "thing" at a time. If you trying to learn Python and how to use Linux as well as Python then you learning 2 (or more..) things at once so stick with what you know for now. If you are comfortable with Linux (or Mint as you say) then stay with that because I have found running Python on Windows is a Pain but that could just be the environment we are using. Good Luck and Have fun!

It's a pity there is not 1 code example on the Front Page. I spent a few minutes trying to find a page with some code and all I found was Why, Why Not, what is different etc and not any code examples so I am out. Look at Zig within seconds I can see if I like the syntax, does it make sense to me. I would love to know what Pony lang looks like. I might like it but it seems like

I would run a SELECT with a WHERE clause to see the data I was about to remove to make sure it looked right. Then I would make the delete and Copy and Paste (can you see where this is going? - pun intended) the WHERE clause from the Select into the Delete and run it. But I didn't. This was a production database. It got so hot all of a sudden as I realised what I had done! Lucky we only lost a few hours work.

I am sorry for your loss

How did you get the slowness under control. I have not had a problem until recently and now the slowness is killing me. I use pycharm and goland.
