Those were excellent and I know we used them at one point. I want to say the brand we settled on in the final years of the business was a Nokia 17" that used a -tron variant. I'm not positive[0]. I had one of those from the mid-90s until around 2010 as a second screen. The color quality on this display spoiled me. I could never find a flat panel that produced such deep blacks and bright whites. When you'd drag a photo from the CRT to any of the flat-panels, it looked like you applied a filter to mute all of the colors a bit. It was completely functional when I recycled it and I'd never had an issue with the thing in the 12-15 years or so that I owned it.

> I'm convinced that change control is 99% pointless.

99% of the time their packaging and/or deployment systems can't track changes to the degree their change control setup claims anyway.

Thought experiment: run an "upgrade" command on your package manager. Even with a modest system, there are dozens (possibly hundreds) of "things" (executables, configurations, daemons, modules, etc.) that change. Often those things are rebuilds incorporating updates from their dependencies. So if a change management system wants to track exactly why each update happened, that appropriate stakeholders were in the loop, etc., you're actually stuck.

No [1] release system has that level of detail. You'd need a directed graph of all the reasons for all these changes top to bottom.

[1] Yes, I've seen safety critical situations before. No, the paperwork isn't at that level of detail there either. System-wide requirements (the whole system has to be fast in specific ways) don't map to particular lines of changed code like that. At some point, the paperwork gets to be gratuitous.

> Also consider whether companies might want a part time intern during the year or other opportunities.

Personally, I was lucky in this regard. I landed myself an internship summer after my sophomore year in college doing web/db work on an intranet site at a Fortune 500 back in 2001. Paid decently, started at around $15/hr. When I left 3 years later, was making around $20/hr. Worked fulltime during summers, but was able to keep working through the school year. I was also able to largely work remotely during the school year, so I was able to put in 20-30 hours per week while only going into the office once a week.

The internship was a great experience. I was working for the DBA team, so I got a lot of hands on experience and knowledge working with them on several RDBMS's including DB2 (mainframe), UDB (Unix/Windows) and SQL Server. Things that I had no course to take in college at the time.

The internship also set me up well for getting my first fulltime job. The hiring manager was stunned at the uears of professional experience I had straight out of college and the level of self learning I showed (worked ar first in ASP/VBScript and Javascript, then ASP.Net/C# in the 1.0/1.1 days - all self taught). They had me take Brainbench exams for C++ (which is what they were looking for) and C#. I was abysmal at the C++ exam at the time, something like 65th percentile, but scored above 95th in C# at the time. The manager took a risk and hired me, expecting that Id be able to grow into the position. This at a firm known for hiring only from top Ivy League schools and culling the bottom 10% every year. Lasted a bit over 9 years there, before I decided to move on.

Slashdot Asks: What's the Worst Review You Ever Saw on Amazon?
Is this the kind of thing they are asking in interviews these days? I guess it is nice that this author can prove the correctness of their solution, but what's up with that code? Why is what would otherwise be a perfectly good free function instead a member function of a class with no other functions? Why instead of the usual C++ style of a function taking start and end iterators as arguments does this function take a mutable ref to vector<int>? Are these "leetcode" idioms? Does this site just exist to poison the minds of young developers?
Yes!

And that's what I was speaking to up thread. Totally wasteful.

One (or more) layers up, we are not doing any computation via DNA. Maybe configuration and specification are better words for whatever does computation or some other task.

Imagine a sub-system. Maybe it's new sensory input, or some inherent comms interface or other we don't have as part of our nature right now.

If we think of DNA as some kind of Verilog, then:

Say I have a computer expressed in Verilog. I can push that to a chip, and that chip becomes that computer. Later, I want some additional computation capability, or I/O system, display, whatever. Just change the Verilog, and next push, that computer, being the same one a generation prior, now has this new thing.

So, we've got "human" expressed as DNA. Rather than compute with the actual DNA, expressing something that can compute is what I am getting at and in only the most general of ways.

The DNA basically makes an organism, or some functional bio-tech that is capable of computation, carrying electrical charge, do things we know biological systems can do. They have different strengths from electromechanical systems.

Our own brains are kind of slow, imprecise, but look at what they can do! What if a "coprocessor" of sorts could be woven in there? Or, maybe just an interface, form of comms that is not like the senses we have now.

Or maybe we leave ourselves alone. (good call, if you ask me), but we end up making living things, task based, maybe not even fully functional beings (probably also good call), that can interact with our existing systems.

Living neural nets for more advanced pattern recognition or memory recall, for example? Visualization?

That's where the real action / change is, IMHO.

And when I asked for speculation, I was kind of hoping people with this interest, or domain expertise might just riff on what such an idea may evoke in their thoughts, impressions, visions of what could come.
Very interesting. Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess I just have to write the first post.

Of course there will be. "It may not happen overnight, but it will happen."

Wars of choice (i.e. most US wars) can be turned on and off when required. Those can be waged without needing to use the draft.

Other wars, that continue with a determined opponent (Vietnamese War, for example), can not be turned off unilaterally and must proceed till a defeat or victory.

Those wars will always require a draft if "the war situation has developed not necessarily to [the US's] advantage". (Paraphrasing Hirohito's Speech regarding Japan's surrender.)
An observation from a book lover who has lately fallen into the self improvement subject, most of the books are not worth it. They all need to be either a blog article or a novella-size at best. They are usually padded up to reach the 300 page limit and seem like worth paying for.

It can be a disappointing ride. There seems to be mad rush to churn out books to capitalize on the obsession for productivity and high-achievers.

On the other hand, books in your area of interest, other than self-improvement, can delve into depths that blog posts will not have the bandwidth to achieve. They are a joy to read. Bon voyage.

It's short and clear. I guess I should start putting a zero in front, but that's far less of a concern than modifying the year or the month (e.g. 1 -> 4 or 7, 3 -> 8 or 9). I try to do as much digitally as possible, which eliminates most of those types of attacks.

Ask HN: What are the best long-form essays or articles you've ever read?
2030 decade predictions:
1) A rise of smart robots both physically, ranging from military to household uses. A robot can actually clean your house. A newspaper article talks about the "Fly State" in which people cannot tell whether a fly is a surveillance fly or a real fly.

2) Advances in quantum computing lead to breakthroughs in medical science. Notably the immune system is modified to monitor key health metrics on an everyday basis. This will enable early detection of Cancer, and combined with advances in immunotherapy Cancer eradication will be in sight. Clinical trials of immune based early detection start toward the end of the decade.

3) The combination of advances in machine learning and 5G becoming ubiquitous, enabling level 5 self driving cars. The cars themselves can't handle all situations, but they are able to identify uncertain situations and let a third party take over via the 5g network.

4) Mass protests against the rich start to form, which leads the rich to create communities defended by mercenaries in the name of self defense.

5) Concrete plans to send people to Mars by 2040. SpaceX wins this contract from the United States Space Force. China is in competition as they view this as a military threat.

6) An increased nuclear war threat globally as income inequality becomes more drastic between countries, which sparks a rise in companies that specialize in safety. People start to move out of major cities and office headquarters become more remote with the advent of self driving cars enabling an easier commute.

7) Sports gambling and wave of real time applications around sports gambling becomes ubiquitous, as people become more bored and need distraction.

8) Google starts to show clear signs that it will beat Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. Cries to break up the company grow increasingly louder with daily protests starting around the the Google campus.

9) People start to seriously consider the idea of genetic modification of their babies for higher intelligence as machine learning makes it incredibly difficult to be competitive in the world.

10) Virtual reality is still a niche market, but augmented reality becomes more real with e-readers and even television taking augmented reality form.
Thank you for all your advice. You've given me a lot to think about.

I absolutely don't need the work to survive. I'm aiming to get around 200 hours of contract work over the course of a semester with good references to be more competitive for jobs and internships this summer.

Also, I didn't even bother applying to the jobs that had those quotes I mentioned. I doubted very much they'd leave a positive review, and with only one review a negative review would make it much harder to get the next job. Those quotes came from the proposals they posted for freelancers to apply to be interviewed for, not private communications.

I'm going to college in a small town in Connecticut, where I can't get a programming job, and I don't think many places would take on a remote intern. In the summer I'll be staying with family in the Bay Area, so options will be better.

Your advice to build a plug-in sounds like a great idea. I think I might try to specialize in Shopify, get a feel for what people want, and then generalize what I'm building for people (of course being transparent that I would retain ownership of code).

I totally agree with you that it doesn't make sense to jump into a career in freelancing. It does look like a nice option once I get more experience, thought.

Not to be petty but that is what GP said.

Self-help or otherwise.

Eh?

> What's said is that some self-help books are merely profit-driven, platitudes,
silver-bullet formulas, that don't work, and don't solve problems for the
majority of people who cling to them (which tend to accumulate such
books, and run from guru to guru, and method to method over the years).

With qualifications I can agree with that. I know a few people like that, and there are definitely charlatans in the
self-help field.

> Of course there's also solid advice in some of those books. Usually of
the kind that everybody knows already -- but have trouble following. Much
akin the Christian "be kind" etc.

Other people do get a lot of help from those kinds of books. YMMV, eh?

As always, consult a lawyer.

But, my understanding is that you are allowed to scrape sites as long as you don't impact their ability to deliver the site to other users. In other words, don't DDoS them. Sites tried to ban scraping but last I remember seeing it was not enforceable unless it was done at high rates or maliciously.

As for content, certain things like recipes aren't protected content because they are "listings of ingredients". I can imagine a job opening / title might follow that same logic, maybe the job requirements and benefits as well.

What is protected is the way it's presented and organized. So if you have the same jobs with the same filters and same layout you might be exposing yourself to trouble. You have to make changes in the way it's presented, which for copyright law is changing 50% or more.

So if you're scraping a job site and only showing remote jobs or jobs in a certain skill set, or you're showing the job along with some stats about the company you're probably in a safe spot. But again, if you want to make a business out of it it's probably good to talk to a lawyer first.

I said opiate use not Marijuana, which is around 5% monthly use. I'll easily concede Marijuana and alcohol use are major parts of youth culture, although again but as big as people using them think (which I didn't believe in high school / college either).

As for Fortnite share- there are ~76 million unique fortnite players in a month and supposedly 40-60% of them are between 18-24. I'm going to go with the low number. I have no good data on Fortnite play by country other than its popular in the USA and parts of Europe, but not in Asia, so I'll just say that 1/6 of the players live in the USA (again, probably pretty conservative). There are roughly 25 million 18-24 year olds in the US. So we get 76M*.4/6 = 5M for the number of monthly US fortnite players in the US, or roughly 20% of the population in question.

A lot more than opioid users, roughly the same as reported marijuana use, and a lot less than alcohol use.
Pure speculations below.

To solve the geometry problem, you need to know the inputs, i.e. position of the sun, mirror, and the target. Obvious way is calibrating in advance but that’s not reliable enough, due to wind and thermal expansion acting on the target (it’s elevated) and seismic activity acting on the ground. Another thing, need accurate orientation sensors in the mirror and/or motors capable of precise absolute positioning. All these technical challenges are solvable, but they reduce reliability, reduce focus precision especially over time, add non-trivial costs to the installation.

Instead, apparently they have 4 fixed mounted cameras around the target, looking downwards at the center of the mirror array. The sky doesn’t have distinct features unless clouds, but the sky has these color gradients, vertical one from horizon to zenith, also radial one around the sun. Just seeing these 4 colors might be sufficient to correctly orient the mirror.
