> The next 5 years are going to be the golden period for media and entertainment. 3D/4D chatrooms and conference rooms will emerge rapidly. The largest chunk of media spending will shift from television to digital. Print media will cease to exist.

These questions are interesting to ponder. However, assertions do not rule the world. You can claim anything you want, but that doesn’t make anything more plausible. Statements like that ring correct at a particular point in time because we look at events through a specific glass. A few years down the line, when they turn out to be completely erroneous, only a few people will notice.

> The next 5 years are going to be the golden period for media and entertainment.

This statement is vague. Software is eating media and entertainment. The current trend has fewer people able to make a decent living in these fields.

> 3D/4D chatrooms and conference rooms will emerge rapidly.
> The largest chunk of media spending will shift from television to digital.

That happened, no longer a prediction.

> Print media will cease to exist.

Radio already died several times also.
I had some memory of this from slashdot, a long time ago.
It became a curious little online mini-cult.

Found it:

I disagree. Don't need to force yourself to stick to one specific material if you don't like it. All my life I've benefitted from being a horizontal person - having always dabbled in everything I found interesting at the time.

Yes to get into a job you'll need specific skills and certificates and there you quickly deepen your knowledge as needed on the topic(s) you neer. But once you're in it you'll shine by having many varied skills. Being the one office worker with excel skills, or the one programmer able to tell a nice narrative, or the one c programmer that understands web apps, or... - you'll stand out.

So my suggestion would be to let your passion drive you. Pick up any topic that seems interesting right now and throw yourself into it. And then the next the next day.
IMO it's fortunately tho!
It's not old fashioned. However, it does mean you have two methods of deployment. In larger ecosystems, a suboptimal release system for some components is less harmful than multiple release systems that have to interact.

I wouldn't suggest moving to docker for this use case, but if everything else was in docker, I'd want this in docker as well, even if that docker container was just running apache.

(Practically, though, if I was starting from scratch, I'd be using NginX.)
GO!!!!
We already know what happened: messing around with wildlife. Wildlife smuggling. Open air markets where meat is processed near potentially sick wild animals that are kept in cages. Bushmeat (Ebola). Caring for camels who got it from bats (MERS). Preparing monkeys for dinner, whoops a knife cut (AIDS). Habitat destruction (Lyme). There's a reason they're called zootonic diseases. Maybe another accidental lab escape. Does it really matter? Then what? Wildlife smuggling should have been banned anyway but I guess "lab escape" sounds more pressworthy. I realize there are people who have no other option or education in Africa but China is quite a different story.
Yup. The way cloud sales works makes it seem almost impossible to justify restructuring your infrastructure to your management.

It's a genius sales strategy.
I know that growing up before the rise of online gaming we had no alternative but to play games with one another in person. There were real consequences to saying bad things to other people we knew in real life. This disappears when there are no consequences to online behavior, the social interactions are ephemeral, and you'll never see the same players again.
This is a bit off topic, but I'm constantly looking at ways to efficiently stream 4K cameras live to local displays as well as remote displays at the highest framerate and resolution possible. How feasible would it be on the xavier to stream 2 4k cameras and display them on at least 2 4k screens? Extra points if you could do that and simultaneously upload to a streaming service, such as twitch.
It might be a reference to "seeing like a state", in which the author broadens the word "legible" to mean "readable by the state".

For example, a nice organised tree farm, where you chop down trees on 1/30 of the land each year, and loop around every 30 years has nice clear inputs and outputs, and is easier to assess than a old growth forest in which the local village has rights to some wood, but no one really measures what they cut or anything.

Under this meaning of the word, homeless people are invisible, or illegible to the state, as they don't have a fixed address.

Late to this conversation, but I (and many co-workers) use a number of SAAS tools from Asana to Trello and everything between.

Even if there were a one-size-fits-all export automation platform (maybe there is, or there's Zapier ... please weigh in if there's a quality one stop shop), the format you get from most providers (IME) bears little resemblance to the ecosystem you exported it from.

You can't get back there from here, so to speak: a csv (or series of csvs) are missing the relationships needed to reconstruct complex data on the platform, assuming you'd risk returning.

Thanks for any thoughts.
Learning is just like any other project. Admit that it's tough and that you need a plan. Build process to accomplish that. Aim for consistency over accomplishment. Bird by bird.

One issue with learning things is that as you learn, you often discover new things to learn. It's critical to know how to file these: (1) they're true dependencies, (2) they're interesting follow-ups for later, (3) they're not relevant in the near or medium term.

File things aggressively. Try to identify as many things as you can to not read. For this you need two things: (a) a clear understanding of where you're going, based on a plan working backward from some achievable thing you want to learn and (b) safety knowing that when you file something away, you won't lose it. It's interesting, and exciting, so you should return.

Do this well and (a) and (b) reinforce one another. You can look through your "set aside" list to build out a strategy for your next achievable task and your achievable tasks can give structure to the things you've set aside.

File things aggressively. This often feels bad. You feel like you "ought" to know something or you get carried away following a thread. That's not bad! Do it sometimes, learning playfully is fun! On the other hand, you'll be more satisfied 3 months from know if you learn aggressively and directedly. You'll have worked through a greater amount of material at greater depth.

Finally, it's often hard to get started. Don't overthink it. Just set a small achieveable project, maybe give yourself a tight deadline. Once you're through that project you will, without a doubt, have a much clearer idea of what comes next.
Would even Android allow that kind of access to your phone from a program?
The network is very, very unreliable at the edge. Better to have each piece work independently and store up processed results to transmit eventually, opportunistically. If that processing involves real time video processing there's no way you're going to get that done over a reliably unreliable connection.

I can't find it but that sounds like the model a platform company that works with CCP to host EVE online makes. They program one game but they shard different sectors of the universe out to hardware based on demand.

They either host it or it was just a tech demo they did with eve online. Wish I could remember it was a super cool job advert, not my skill set though.
You say it can do training for small models because of the presence of the small (512-core) GPU? (plus maybe some left-over, control calculations by the CPU)
It doesn't. Just don't install it if you don't want it.

Pip doesn't need to integrate, it just needs to install elsewhere or give you a way of listing what will be installed. Cargo on the other hand just doesn't even bother letting you try to use it with a distro package manager.

I've built several servo powered walking robots. Torque is a major concern, and obviously weight plays a part in how much torque is required. The recommended servos look to be $30 each, x12 means $360. If you spent $200 just on servos you'd have to settle for $16 servos. Probably less torque. That would mean that at full leg extension the robot might not be able to support itself. That would be an annoyance when trying to focus on walking algorithm development, which is usually the fun part for these small walkers.

You can definitely do something for cheaper, but I wouldn't call this a joke. When I was 15 (20 years ago lol) I designed an 18 servo hexapod. I saved up $350 from cleaning horse stalls and my dad agreed to pay the other half, and I spent $700 on servos. It was great to learn about inverse kinematics before ever setting foot on a college campus!

I’m curious to the degree culture plays in hiring practices for SWEs in different countries. It’s not uncommon at all for tech companies in the US to hire engineers without a software engineering background or a college degree (I know an engineer at Google with no formal education whatsoever).

But, I’ve heard of people from other countries talk about getting “certified” in a particular coding language or technology. I can’t tell if that was just a scam, or things like that have some weight in other parts of the world.

I’m sure people here have worked for a small company led by some sales guy who didn’t know what he was doing and would expect engineers to have degrees and certifications. I wonder if in other parts of the world, where those with knowledge of running a modern software engineering organization haven’t risen into leadership roles yet, it’s impossible to become a SWE without a whole bunch of diplomas.
HQ audio quality (over 4G) is markedly better than land lines, and the fax protocol has had error correction since digital formats were adopted in the 60s and 70s.

My Palm Pilot (with a CDPD backpack) and candybar 2G Nokia could both send FAXes.

I suspect there's no demand.
Just another anecdote, granted this was over a decade ago so YMMV now.

Grew up doing web dev "as a hobby", basically self taught since middle-school. It was my passion, but never thought of pursuing it as a career or anything. Went to college, got a EE degree. Partly because parents thought it was generalized and better able to land me a job out of college. I partly agreed. Went to work at for gov't contractor and hated it. I would still code on the side when I got home. Left after a year and had my mini quarter life crisis lol. Decided to apply for a few jobs around me with zero experience in the industry.

2 interviews stuck out to me. First one was an a small agency. They gave me a coding test and I realized that I know a lot more than I thought I did and shouldn't imposter syndrome myself as much. Second one was a small startup. They saw a lot of apps I built on the side and were intrigued which netted me that offer. Decided to go for the startup and that experience really solidified my confidence that I could actually do this.

IMO, your engineering degree will help you get a foot in the door at least. ME isn't a piece of cake and you've proven yourself competent in that regard. Your lack of "formal" education might be a hindrance to some, but I think it demonstrates the ability to self start and figure shit out and most importantly to just build stuff. Just keep grinding until you find the opportunities; you might have to take a step 'sideways" to get them.
There's no doubting the important role of category theory in modern mathematics. Less clear to me is why programmers seem so keen on learning category theory. I studied a fair amount of abstract algebra in grad school and never once have I found it useful in my day to day life as a programer. At best, I can say that if you've mastered category theory then you know how to think abstractly and modularize complicated concepts. But there are many less circuitous routes to obtaining those skills that don't involve understanding what a monad is. The moment I'm reading a programming tutorial that starts talking about monads and monoids is the moment I go read some other tutorial that actually teaches a useful skill.
It seems likely to me that a recession or pandemic affects more than just the OP's business, so while that one customer is probably meaningless to AWS, the thought process that led to scaling back spending could be meaningful.

The real trouble's the repetition. He has some fifteen minute cutscenes that seem to be the same couple minutes of dialog repeated over and over in slightly different ways. MGS4 was the worst for that, but it's in all of them. I've seen enough other Japanese media that I think a little of that is cultural, but not anywhere near the degree that he does it. It's just Kojima. That's why I get bored by his cutscenes.
My IP phone provider, Voyant, offers a fax api: https://www.voyant.com/product/fax/

So if you can write an app that accesses this API, you can send faxes. It would be easiest to do this as a web service that you can access from your phone via a web page.
I'll start by saying that I've worked with many self taught programmers and they were all excellent (perhaps there was a selection bias?). They also always had humorous holes in their knowledge (which they were always quick to rectify).

So it's totally doable.

> Many places I apply to want people who have experience in software development or they want to hire a junior for some super low pay

The truth of it is that you'll probably have to take a junior job first. Even with a great GitHub profile, there is no easy way to know if you can actually do it, since there is no way to really know how much of your Github profile you actually created.

The good news is that if you really are good, you'll get promoted quickly (or be able to quickly move to a more senior role elsewhere). But sadly, you'll probably have to suffer at least a year in a junior role to "prove yourself".
I mean, this is absurdly more powerful than those dedicated DSPs.

Forgive my denseness, but I can see why it would make sense for a defconst or even a defvar to be evaluated at compile time, but why a function?
The "cloud" has always held a fluid definition. If you ask someone "what's the cloud?" you'll get different answers depending on who they are. So, just being a generic term makes it to give this a clear "yes" or "no" answer.

What should be clear is that anything denoted by "cloud" quite literally comes down to leveraging computing power provided by someone else in one arrangement or another.

Anyone providing or relying on a "cloud-based" service is directly part of a marketplace and it's innate dynamics which includes recessions and the complex fashion in which those play out.

While it's highly unlikely to see Amazon shutter AWS overnight because demand implodes entirely, I wouldn't be surprised to see changes in their pricing or offering to offset macro-economic effects in the long term.

The other side of the spectrum would be specific niches disappearing. For instance, small companies that leverage cloud infrastructure and resell hosting as an offering to small businesses. Many of them might find themselves out of business if their customer portfolio consisted of recession sensitive businesses as well.

Isn't group policy applied by changing registry keys? I've never actually looked it up, but I've always been under the impression that group policy changes just update registry keys that are checked by other software/parts of the os, and that the only advantage to using it (in a non-domain environment) is that it's the official way of doing it.
This is a really interesting topic. I am in the same boat. With so much information and a desire to learn, how do you organize it all. In terms of math, Amazon may be a great resource. I purchased a math refresher workbook today actually. It's a refresher for adults. Kahn Academy is another option and they have an app that you can follow along with. I find it better to put the pencil to the paper. That works for me.

I'm about 3 months into my web development studies and I think brushing up on math will benefit greatly for deeper learning.

I've taken courses through Udemy, Coursera, apps, and freecodecamp. It's very overwhelming and you can find any rabbit whole you want. I would say find a course and stick with it until it's completed. Then move on to the next. If you still feel like your missing valuable info, find another program. YouTube is great but in my opinion, there are multiple opinions and methods that you may find yourself getting lost a little.

In the absense of capital punishment for corporations, fines can and will be seen as merely the cost of doing business. It feels like the only way to address this is by holding the decision makers (executives) responsible, but that would require piercing the corporate veil[1], which has disappointingly low precedent in the US

[1]Edit: piercing the veil refers to holding shareholders responsible, which is a different (but related) way of keeping companies accountable. Thanks for the clarification wnoise.
I'm actually making a game with a heavy emphasis on socialization.
One of the big inspirations that I haven't seen mentioned yet is TTT, specifically the TTT mode in Pavlov VR.
In that game mode, there are
1) 1-3 traitors who know who the other traitors are and can buy certain weapons
2) a detective who can buy helpful items and a scanner to test people in close proximity
3) innocents who can't buy anything, and are just trying to stay alive

Players need to work together to win, while deciding whom to trust and convincing other players that you're trustworthy. It's been a remarkable way to socialize with people while having a shared goal. I actually find it to be the most intellectually stimulating game that I play, with the possible exception of chess.
Note this is about k2; the current production version is k4 (from 2006 or so), and the current prototype is k9/shakti (There was now k8 afaik - possibly to avoid k8s mixup? but there were k5, k6 and k7 protoypes).

Compared to k2, modern k9 adds a lot of atomic data type (integer bit sizes up to 128; 32 bit floats, time and date, uuids, ...); adds dictionaries as a first-class compound data type (K2 had extremely limited dictionaries); rolls the database into the langauge (k2 had it as a library+app), adds a lot of connectivity (web server and client including websockets), threads, various forms of multiprocessing

and drops the native GUI.

No, the comment implies that risks that only apply to people in two countries don't apply to people not in those countries.

This is the problem. Once you understand library loading, once on your system, and learn, once, how to query the system and see what libraries are being loaded and from where, you won't have to waste hours on this problem again. Until that point, you're operating a system without understanding, and that will always lead to breakage.
