People on HN would probably be a good target for this device as most hackers understand data much better than the general population... But a random test here and there... I'm not convinced.

However, medicine needs to develop and home diagnosis and early detection along with encouraging and active lifestyle is the future. There are some tough challenges ahead. Maybe this is a step in the right direction, but as I said, I'm not 100% convinced by this device as i feel it kind of misses the point and focuses on some random fairly unimportant tests.

The whole concept of interns in Sweden is different compared to the US. Here you intern while you study or even as a part of your education. There are a few smaller startups that are looking for interns sometimes. Most likely unpaid though.

Temporary contracts are more common. I'm currently on a 4 month contract at a huge telecom company.

My suggestion would be to just google whatever you want to work with and add Stockholm to the search. Most companies here have some kind of English homepage. If not - look for; Lediga jobb, Lediga tjänster, Karriär, Jobba hos oss.
Those are probably the most common ways of saying "Work with us" or "Available positions". After that you just look for job ads with words or programming languages you recognize.

Good luck!

I always loved how configurable KDE is and prefer it over others. I somehow always felt more comfortable using KDE than say Unity or Gnome. Its very stable , fluid and fast now as well. However, there are certain problems that just don't seem to be addressed much -

1. Cartoonish or early 2000's looking icons. They simply are not pleasing to eyes any more.

2. Lack of UI widget themes. Although there is plethora of colour schemes and window decorations, which I hardly care about. What I want is complete themes, with different widgets. Its just Oxygen or Windows 98 kinda themes. GTK has really strong community in this case.

3. I don't know how to put this, but most kde apps (except base apps) feel overloaded. This is common complaint too I guess. I'm not asking that they should do what GNOME is doing, but there must be something that can be done. When I use Windows, many apps still have a lot of functions but still manage to look better. I think some of this can be addressed by building a better widget set - (better tabs, toolbars with smaller icons and less whitespace overall)

Overall my complaint is 90% about how it looks.
This is a fun little tool. I keep the "use as website" bookmarked on my toolbar. This tool actually used to be called "geisha" and the logo was of a geisha girl.

Not to copy anything, but just to get my creative juices flowing.

> Mozilla is pretty much powerless since users blame FF if it doesn't support something

Mozilla is pretty much powerless since users blame FF if it doesn't support something and the bulk of its funding comes from one of those corporate interests (Google).

(Both are problems - even if Mozilla had the market share, if it were still funded (almost) solely by Google, these things would still eventually happen, since the power tends to follow the money in the end.).

I really hope Mozilla manages to become financially independent of Google, whether through donations or some other revenue stream.
You make a good point. :-)

Somehow it seems worse with the Web to me though, but maybe that's just because it's so ubiquitous and used for such a variety of things.

Given the amount of cruft OpenGL currently carries, the massive changes (read: rewrite) that will require for it to be a sane modern graphics API and the fact that several Khronos members that would probably not want any significant changes to the API (CAD companies, for example), wouldn't it make sense for the industry to dump OpenGL like yesterday's paper and converge behind a new, modern API? For example, AMD's Mantle.

What are the "several competing and incompatible systems"? I haven't used anything other than pip, ever. I know of easy_install, but as far as I know pip is an outright total replacement for it.
The worst experience I had with cutting wires was a condo separated into 4 units, all at 1 junction box, and when someone new would move in, it would be 50/50 on the phone company -- the same phone company servicing everyone -- botching the new person's installation by cutting off someone else's.

I have both DSL and cable modem at my house. There was no cutting of the first when the second was installed. The installer has no way to tell if that phone line is running DSL or if I'm still getting cable TV over that coax. That would not be tolerated for a second.

This was my first thought as well. However...aren't we going to run out of names eventually for projects? Unless we all start making words up which defeats the purpose of a memorable named (unless you're Google).
I think the difference between an Airbus Airplane and a Software System is that once Airbus chooses a material that it meets it characteristics it does not go back an change that material. And the material does not change by itself. So the airbus test pyramid works because the bottom is stable.

In my personal experience in software systems is that the bottom is not stable you never end up selecting a material and having component that never changes after you build it. All layers of an application tend to change as the application changes and user needs change. Therefore you can't really say that oh we tested the bottom of the pyramid and know for sure that it works.

Writing end to end tests for application is quite hard work and requires a lot of though to design an application that can tested both at the unit level, the component level, and the system level.

Even though end to end testing is very hard it's value is massive as an industry we should be focused on lowering the cost of end to end testing rather than saying that unit is good enough.

So the open source wrapper can receive unencrypted audio/video frames. Does that mean it does the video decoding too or does it get the compressed stream back?

Either way it doesn't sound like a very strong protection of the content as you can access it with at most a single generation compression loss.

Is it me or are the content providers and the DRM providers realising the limits of DRM and loosening their requirements?

I appreciate efforts like this. But in many ways (that aren't their fault!) they annoy me.

I've been using and/or teaching GL pretty much since it came out. And every new version makes it more difficult to learn. Once upon a time you did a few glVertex and glColor calls, set up transformations, and maybe some materials and lights, and there you were. If you wanted to be really cool, then you used a texture. Nowadays even a Hello World is supposed to manage various buffer objects that interact in complicated ways, and to include code in multiple programming languages, at least one of which is never used outside of graphics.

So I'm a rebel. I still teach immediate mode. I'm well aware that this is The Wrong Way (tm), but my goodness, you can't throw profiles and buffer objects at people before they've even successfully animated a polygon.

I've had great fun with OpenGL through the years, and I still do, but I wish the people in charge of the standard would give some thought to beginners and the increasingly awful learning curve.

Because we use real people to transcribe the cards, we found that we were having trouble with accuracy when the cards are in languages other than English. As such, we flagged the app to countries that have English the primary language.

Very sorry for the inconvenience.

If gravity waves, in general, are not found, then there's a spectacular conflict between General Relativity and the Hulse-Taylor pulsar system [1]. A direct detection with earth-based detectors from a nearby inspiral is quite likely within the next decade; thousands of scientists have bet their careers on it [2].

If early-universe gravitational waves aren't found, then some major theories of inflation and cosmology will require adaptation. In the grand scheme of things, this is still a big deal, but less-so than shattering a core prediction of GR.

>Again, this isn't helpful when it comes to actually learning the course material. If you want to do research, this is great. But I'm talking exclusively about the undergraduate educational experience.

Sure, but my original point was that the unique thing that Berkeley and other tippity-top schools offer are those quasi research-oriented classes. For "database security," you can learn the material well lots of places, and for some people a less prestigious university might be a much better environment. And, for sure, depending on the year or the subject, for a class like that you might get an adjunct lecturer who doesn't know the material well, an adjunct lecturer who knows the material phenomenally well and works in the field, a tenure-track/tenured professor who doesn't give a shit, or a tenure-track/tenured professor who does cutting-edge research in the area and cares a lot about teaching. It's a crapshoot.

But going to Berkeley gives you access to classes like "Qubits, Quantum Mechanics, and Computers" [1] that are offered almost nowhere else. Those classes can be extraordinarily hard, but extremely rewarding.

[1]: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs191/sp12/ (not my field, so this is my guess at a representative example. For Berkeley, I think anything in the 19* range fits the bill.)
Drive development with budgets not estimates
While average education levels are of course important, they aren't as important as density of high achievers and the flexibility of the top group to remain challenged. It's top achievers that are able to become the best in their fields that create new industries and revolutionize old ones... not a population of passing achievers.

Not to say that we shouldn't care about average competency, but these kinds of studies that explicitly or implicitly portend imminent doom for the US miss the mark.

I agree that simple 'hello triangle' is not that simple any more.

When I taught OpenGL I also used good old fixed functionality - just to show how the basics works. Then (in the next lesson) I usually tried to move to modern style.

Another thing is that Rendering Techniques are moving so fast that it is hard to keep up with the pace.

The standard definition of refactoring is that it doesn't change behaviour. As Martin Fowler put it:

Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure.

You correctly identified a consequence of this in your later comment:

> In your definition if you introduce or remove a bug your not refactoring.

That is indeed the case.

And also correctly observed that:

> realistically for any sufficiently large change bugs can and will be both added and removed.

If a change adds or removes a bug, it was not a pure refactoring. It may have been an attempt at a pure refactoring, and it may have been otherwise successful, but the introduction of a change in behaviour means that it was not purely a refactoring. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - i'd rather bugs be removed than not! - but it's possible to distinguish the refactoring and bug-fixing aspects of the change. Ideally, i would like to see those aspects formally separated, for example into separate commits in source control. But even if not, we can at least use the terminology correctly and precisely.
