Still working on my favicon fetching API: https://fetchfavicon.com. Currently adding comparison pages with other services. Also learning a lot of SEO and video editing for https://soulfulsabor.com, a food blog that I started with my wife.
My absolute one would be Don Quijote de La Mancha by Cervantes - Taught me the beauty of language, to follow my own ideas and the power of a little craziness. Second would be anything from Jules Verne, his books got me to love science and engineering when I was a kid.
Im working on yet another "what's my IP address?" site: https://ipparrot.net for the fun of it. It's written in Elixir and currently working on adding a structured whois tool and plan to add more networking tools. You can also use curl like:
Yeah, we killed the mosquitoes that don't let us sleep and gave us Dengue every month because the gov can't provide electricity and if you protest you dissapear to jail
My Latin American friends working in construction would not believe this, they are paid crap, and is the American construction company owner who pockets most of the money.
Depends on what they're working in. A certified plumber, electrician, furnace/gas, HVAC specialist, all command market rates set by tgeir associations. Tilelayers, bricklayers, carpenters and cabinet makers also have set rates. There isn't much left that's unregulated, perhaps framing, drywall/plaster, hardwood/vinyl flooring, painting and landscaping.
Shameless plug since i'm a contributor but VerneMQ [1] is a pretty programmable one. You have options from using webhooks to writting your plugins in Lua or Erlang/Elixir.
These 3 reasons ring closely, its what i see in my own family. They are Cuban and came here older and have never bothered to learn the language mostly out of fear of being too old or loosing their culture. They also have their own micro country were they can get Spanish speaking doctors, jobs and community to socialize. They can go months without hearing a word in English. Confidence is big to learn a language, my own kids are 5 and 6 and they can write / read and speak Spanish and English and speak in french but my son is less extroverted and fallsback more to English on front of people.
Nice, I have been doing this twice per week two and the results in my mood are awesome. The waves have been a bit wild this week at my local beach but hoping it comes back to quiet to go back again
