As someone who recently purchased a high end chair, my only advice is go try them in person(!), and sit how you actually sit.

Herman Miller Aeron for example is great for people who are either small or sit "correctly." If you fold your legs under yourself, it is super uncomfortable.

My finalists were the Aeron, Embody, Steelcase Leap, and Gesture. The Leap and Gesture worked much better for my lazy ("natural") seating position. I ultimately purchased a Leap because the Gesture's arms shifted every time I stood up, and weren't as supportive.

Also our local dealer matched a major online dealer ($150 off).

IPv4 address utilization is incredibly low. For example, consider 44.0.0.0/8 - it's sitting around almost entirely unallocated. UCSD Caida uses it for their network telescope (pretending to use it for amateur radio) and won't give it back.

Build a side project demonstrating use of all the skills you have obtained.

That's the easiest way. I've worked with about 5-6 people with Chemistry degress (Undergrad, Master's, & PhD) that ended up in software development. So you shouldn't have a worry, just hit all the bullet points.

Find 10 jobs you're interested in, look at their skill requests (required & preferred). Make a list of those skills and for the top 10 make sure you've got them understood as to the best of your ability.

Good luck!

You don't need fancy chair if your back is not supporting a huge gut or is strength atrophied from never using it , you don't need a fancy mattress if your body is tired and your mind calm.

Every Herman Miller chair I've tried (and several other brands of "ergonomic" chairs) seem to be designed in such a way that there's a big gap in support around the mid-back area, in-between the lumbar area and the shoulder blades. There's very firm, forward support for the lumbar spine and shoulders, and then this weird gap in the middle. This causes my mid-back to round into the empty space, which in turn causes my shoulders and neck to slump forward.

Judging from the photo, this chair looks like it has the same problem.

I can't for the life of me figure out how or why anyone considers these chairs to be comfortable. Maybe my back just has a weird shape or something, but these chairs seem to literally fight to keep you from sitting up straight with a healthy posture. And yet, everyone seems to love them. It feels like some sort of bizarre conspiracy.

To be clear, this is not just my initial impressions. Everyone loves these name-brand luxury chairs so much that I've owned three of them over the last ten years (a Mirra, an Embody, and a Humanscale Freedom), because I keep thinking maybe I just need a different model, or maybe I haven't figured out how to adjust the damn things properly. They all feel well-built and high quality, but they all feel more and more uncomfortable the longer I sit in them, and I can't find a way to use them that doesn't seem to cause progressively worse back and neck problems. I can't figure out where the disconnect is happening.

Incidental to your point about apps, I wonder if Propel can't deliver a devastating blow with a digital records FOIA request. Conduent will fight it tooth and nail, and it may be worth Propel's while to put some professional legal help on it, but since the data is being paid for by the taxpayer, as long as it can be redacted so that personal information isn't shared (which Propel could be required to pay for), Conduent may have no recourse to keep their data under lock and key. App users could be shown how to request their primary key or some other permissible identifier under FOIA from Conduent, and then they'd be reduced to a mere primary data warehousing and collection outfit.

The problem there is not the person commenting/answering being self-righteous, but the original poster not providing sufficient context for the question. People on the other side of the Internet are no more clairvoyant than anyone else, so aren't likely to guess that such a restriction is in play and currently unavoidable.

> That is why we answer the question that was asked instead of asking why the asker's situation isn't different.

Speaking of self-righteousness: when I see that sort of tone from someone asking for help I tend to walk away and go find someone else to assist (or something else to do entirely).

This. Go ahead and make whatever arguments you like about how people should not get money for not working, just as long as you're prepared also to apply that to the workings of compound interest in savings accounts :)

There should be no income whatsoever merely from already having money. Go get a job :)
No, this is unacceptable. Ideally you should first answer the question, then explain why it shouldn't be done. If you don't have enough time, then drop the second part.

And the reason is not about the OP, the OP is irrelevant in such a site. SO is a collection of programming knowledge. So the problem is that an experienced software engineer comes along years later, forced into doing something they already know is bad but have no choice for some reason (normally some silly job constrained that they simply cannot change), google search to see if anyone has done it and guess what comes up? The exact question on SO but with these useless answers. And since it has been "answered" no one else bothers any more. And I can't come in an clarify why I need it, it's not my question. If I ask again, my question will probably flagged as a duplicate.

If I could change only one thing on SO, it would be that anyone who answers "don't do that", in any form, without answering the question is banned from the site and their response removed.
You’re thinking in the context of the status quo, you would be able to afford it. If you don’t want to there are friends, family, hotels. This is a hypothetical of course but I’m just posing the question of what would happen if the people who own 1000 homes (all to themselves) didn’t exist. This is only half the issue anyway, the major problem is supply constraint and I'm not going to get into that :-)
IPv4 worked for a long time and works for majority of installations now. It's hard to migrate when advantages are not obvious. I'm not sure that IPv6 is very good, I'm always having problem with it, but any standard will have adoption problems when current solution is good enough. I don't think that there's need for new standard and I'm sure that new standard won't be adopted better than IPv6.
I've always felt that it was a bit of a shame that Fortran is falling by the wayside nowadays, a lot of universities are teaching C++ (or even C) instead now and it just isn't as pleasant to use for scientific computing work.
Build more reservoirs to handle the flooding stages and to slowly feed the downstream (or upstream via piping). It's what they did here in Oklahoma and it's worked extraordinarily well in my opinion over the last 60 or so years where we're constantly flipping back and forth between flood/drought.

It pissed the people around Canton Lake when Oklahoma City took almost their entire lake to refill Hefner, but that's what it was built for. We pipe up water from the wetter SE part of the state as well and are building another water pipeline currently to allow more flow.
Excellent, really excellent read, thanks for the pointer.
I'm aware. I was at a dealer, they had all three sizes.

I tried the B and C, both were uncomfortable for my normal seated position, my legs literally hit the underside/frame. For a smaller person, with shorter legs, they will likely have a better experience.
Democracy scales and in fact works better in small groups than large groups...
Same. And its only really an issue for me because around here the home/SOHO IPv6 rollout is transparent to clients.

So people who have been trusting NAT to be a firewall wake up one day to their network being directly routable, and are none the wiser.
The Aeron is only for people who are small? They make them in 3 different sizes and Size C can easily handle a very large person. The level of customization is why they became so popular. To that end, they also have premium versions that have even more 'levers and knobs' beyond the standard features. To your point, most people are uninformed about the Aeron (or similar) and the degree of customization that's achievable. But I ultimately do agree with you, it's not a chair that's designed for everyone and you should try before you buy. A great task chair fitted to your body makes a world of difference.

Things I Learned from a Job Hunt for a Senior Engineering Role
Democracy was tried in many different settings and scopes, over the course of many centuries, before gaining a real foothold. America was NOT a great experiment in a new approach to government - or if it was, that experiment was with a Constitutionally limited system.

It was implemented in ancient Greece as we're all taught. At the time of America's founding, there was already a democracy of sorts in place in the Netherlands. Along the way, many other institutions implemented it - for example, pirate ships were often democracies, with the captain chosen by popular acclamation.
Fair general point. (Though it is often - if not always - possible to do some sort of dual-running, to mitigate risk. Albeit at much greater expense.)

In the specific case of TSB, I have my suspicions about the reasons for cutting corners in this migration, given: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/missed-deadlines-leave-1m...
It's highly presumptious to assume you know better than the person asking. You might, but you might not. The fact that SO serves as a collection of programming knowledge, you do not know better than everyone who will ever search for that question even if you do actually know better than the OP who actually asked the first time.

It would be fine to help with all these other possibilites but part of your answer should... actually answer the question that was asked, as it was asked and not doing so should result in a servere punishement.
I'm so glad I don't live in London any more.

When I did, last decade, I paid in the range of £300-700 a month for a flat or a house I shared with friends. We always had decent sized rooms, a good kitchen etc

A grand a month to live in a room smaller than the Travelodge is just awful.

Now I live on the South coast, I work in London sometimes when the money is right, I work in Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey otherwise.

In the city I live in (Southampton) you can rent a 3 bedroom house for £850 pcm. You might even be able to buy a place to live eventually.

Life is so much better.
Curious, are you using their lumbar insert? I used to and always found it uncomfortable. I later learned from a Herman Miller rep that most people shouldn’t use it and the chair provides support from the large mesh contact surface. Since removing it I’ve been way more comfortable, going on 5 years now.
If he sells this to people whose hourly rate is $50, and hypothetically it would take each an hour to write, then he just created an economic surplus of $45 for each of those people, while he only took $5 for each sale.

If he sells enough the income could allow him to create even more useful things for other people.

There is nothing wrong with selling something you created.

I'm an open source enthusiast. I run Linux on my MacBook Pro. Still, people should be able to sell what they created if they want to.

> They both want some form of external moderation. its what happens for Postgraduate degrees after all.

Undergraduate university examinations in the UK already have external examiners [1]. For the national guidance, see Chapter B7 of the QAA's Quality Code [2]. This states:

> External examiners are not normally responsible for, or involved in, the assessment of individual students to the extent that they do not carry out marking of assessed work. However, to fulfil their role external examiners view student work, which ranges from reading essays or examination scripts to viewing performances (live or recorded) or artefacts. The volume of assessment generally means that an external examiner is unlikely to be able to view all the assessed work unless the cohort is small. Samples are of sufficient size to enable him/her to form a view as to whether the internal marking has properly assessed student performance against the appropriate standards.

> They aren't, and there is a high-touch, humans in the loop process to avoid their sensitivity getting stepped on in traditional advertising markets like TV.

Monetization has nothing to do with branding. Nothing. Advertisers do not care.

When Logan Paul uploaded a video of him gawking at a bloated corpse, it was in YouTube's top trending videos for nearly 24 hours. There was a massive flagging campaign by outraged viewers, but advertisers did not have any objections.

I do not for a second believe that no humans saw what was going on. It was covered in The BBC and The Guardian. And yet the video remained up and advertisers continued to advertise.

Of course Logan Paul is on the secret whitelist, so he could stomp all over the community guidelines and not be punished.
YouTube's community guidelines are nothing but an excuse to drive independent creators away from the platform, as are the monetization policies.

All of this talk about controversy is an utter farce.

I used Aerons for several years back when they first came out. While they are really nice looking, I and my staff found them to be terribly uncomfortable. We all went and tested multiple chairs at the Merchandise Mart. The Steelcase Leap was the clear winner. I still have and use several of them almost 20 years later.

The Aeron has two major flaws, IMHO. It looks like the Cosm may have the same.

1.) Arms that recline with the back which causes your wrists to have to break to reach the keyboard

2.) The "trampoline" design of the seat means the front edge of the chair digs into the underside of your thighs.
