So was mine. And I remember it being supposedly better for your eyes, but I liked green better. And later on white, but that was a few years later.
I remember when my parent's friend got one of the first IBM PC for his business and asked me to come and help him with it since I had experience with an atari home computer. I think I blinked 4 times in the 16 hours I was at his house trying ti figure out what 1-2-3 was for and remember all the color being messed up as we drove home. The streetlights had all turned to red-yellow and blue. I could not see green anymore.:)
I rarely internet anymore, mostly killing time whenever I'm on break (20 year old slashdot habit). Very little is new or interesting anymore. On the bright side, toys for nerds are insanely inexpensive from China (I mean electronics and basic components, not premade widgets.It's more fun to build your own).
Every company is going to be different. A large number of companies that I've worked with have had their own proprietary language andmost of them were moving to auto generated code from requirements. They've been doing that since I started working the 80's and should be getting good at it by now.
One of the challenges is knowing what to be current in, re: needed to keep their license. A doctor doesn't have to fully understand a dozen new diseases every year. I used to be an embedded asm/c++ guy who picked up a "flavor of the week" language or technology (think OpenGL) for fun, bu that is a lot of work, usually with no payoff, so now I just kinda keep track of what is out there
I've been using FF exclusively for years and have never experienced any problem with any site, so I'm a little curious also. I have to say that I did like pdf rendering in chrome better.
I have never seen a Tesla. In fact, the only electric car I have ever seen is the one that I own. I even visited (downtown) Seattle last year and had expected to see it full of electric cars. Nope. Saw a lot of expensive SUVs though.
You have a myopic view of construction. Probably thinking of Bechtel and their TBMs, but I've worked in construction and almost all of it was physically demanding. Even my wife is a truck driver and she constantly complains about the physical demands. Truck drivers are responsible for a lot more than driving. They are constantly monitoring and shifting their loads as well as monitoring various systems, covering loads - and they even help the police with traffic flow.
The main thing though is crawling over loads with chains and ropes to secure them. She has to get help with that sometimes.
Without patents (now expired and free for anyone to use, not that it matters because they've become obsolete), three years of my life as well as my life savings would have been taken by a much larger competing company (hey, hundreds of thousands of dollars free r&d) as soon as they bought one and took it apart.

A quick google search shows many of these. Anything change or is this a publicity advert for David Beckham? Google images magnus effect ship.

I wrote the exact same comment to google when they changed gmail.

Adaptive Control has been a thing for many decades. It's algorithmic. Kalman filters also.

Just re-release it with textured UI and call it windows 11. Then repeat the 10 year cycle. Profit!
I'm really hoping for a reversion to black and green screen. Text and possible EGA mode for games.
my mother told me not to stare at the sun
This time is different.(tm)

Might I suggest importing it from Russia?
Same here :)
Some Gen-X'ers were smart enough to realize it wasn't going to be a lifelong gig and prepared.

I still use it. But I'm a nobody, and perfectly happy with that. At least I'm not a loser.

Why do people still hire Michael Bay?
This video explains it all.
Wow, the best and most lucid comment in quite a while gets modded off topic
Batman, superman or Steve Austin? They haven't made this movie yet, have they? The last movie I saw was Avatar.
He probably works for NASA.Most people that I knew there were against the manned space program.Most scientists are.
Intel gave millions to my EE department. Those spectrum analyzers were sweet and oh so high tech.

Good. Get fucking rid of the abused things.

Yes, that really happened.
