On the plus side, this method of disabling the target is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than using a guided missile. Any object can just be locked on to and effortlessly zapped out of the sky - that’s impressive.

Packard Bells shipped with MegaRace which blended studio video, with main character Lance Boyle, with the game engine for a seamless experience.

Goranga!

Being able to slice barb wire fence is a feature.

Free momentum with a name like PlexBox, too.

I get I have no research or anything to back this up and maybe it’s a terrible idea ultimately, but based on the number of low tech literacy people I know personally who are either running their own Plex servers or attaching to others, an even more turnkey simple piece of hardware seems like something that could do reasonably well.

Excessive alarms from machinery could result in the alarm being bypassed. This is an insidious issue as both the alarm condition and the jumper clips could go unnnoticed and result in an event.


Maybe it'll come full circle and we'll have Patch Fridays.


Web tech encompasses a wide berth of performance requirements depending on the stack used. React requires more overhead than Windows 95-2000 era HTML and javascript.


A developer said to me once, outside of work hours: "Why are you serious about [fundamentals]? [Framework] is where all the money is at." Work cultures that embrace those with his philosophy will have trouble. And here we are.


Where can I find places that value fundamentals AND is willing to hire someone relatively junior, but has the proof of self-teaching fundamentals?


They exist but are rare and don't hire often. I know a guy (self taught programmer) who got his first major a job at a company doing native ui (not even using OS frameworks, straight GPU stuff).

The company does highly complex simulation software used by movie studios for explosions and other effects.

He got hired by word of mouth recommendation from someone at the company that had met him.

It takes as much luck as it takes skill to get these sorts of jobs, sadly.


Thanks! I'm going to grind and network more.


This problem is significantly worse than the height of Windows XP spyware.
