He was photographing an accident from a vantage point in the field. The police officer didn't like that and demanded that the photographers hands over all his cameras and photographs. If he doesn't do so, the police will get a court order and warrant to seize his equipment at home. So the photographer has no option but to do as requested.
It really looks like someone is covering up for a mate. The driver would get away with it if there's no other evidence - "this flock of sheep deliberately and wilfully jumped from a ridge into the front of my car as I was driving by slowly" would replace "I was drunk, driving like the devil down a narrow country road and knocked down a flock of sheep being herded down to the next field".
You can try a recursive solution. For each queen, place that queen somewhere on the board, mark off those squares that are blocked, for the next queen, repeat the same process. Repeat until you have filled the entire grid. You can exploit symmetry. For the first queen, you only need to try 1/8th of the board due to symmetry due to reflection/rotations.
Perhaps there is some number sequence that only applies to boards of given sizes.
The same could be said about factorizing large integer numbers in encryption or bitcoin mining with 256-bit hashes based on SHA-256. But it's the ratio to the vast combination size relative to the actual available solutions. Universities have a similar challenge in finding a campus wide timetable that guarantees that no student has a set of courses that clash in terms of tutorials/lectures/lab times, but that all students can attend tutorials/lectures/labs that are common to many subjects.
We used to have a TV series called "Danger - UXB", based on the soldiers who had to slowly and carefully remove doodlebugs that children had found on the street and taken up to their bedrooms.
Yes, but those skills don't go out of date; running, jungle survival, desert survival, weapon maintainance, hand-to-hand combat, urban combat. basic medicine, vehicle repair, communications.
With computer technology, is programming with Modula-2, Turbo Pascal, Borland C++, 6502/Z80/6809/68xxx/MIPS/Sparc assembly language still relevant? There are still niche jobs in ADA/Cobol/Fortran but those usually require domain knowledge as well.
You can't just learn C++ by itself, you need to learn STL/Boost as well as some GUI like Qt or MFC. If you learn Qt, you also need QML and QSG. If you choose to work with C and device drivers/microcontrollers, then you need to know all the different protocols and bus architectures as well.
Relatively, yes. Consider Silicon Valley. It stretches 40 miles between San Francisco and San Jose, and is about 7 miles wide. San Francisco is the most desirable part of the area, because it has a large walkable downtown area with lots of shops and public transport. Start going down further down and you are into suburbs where you need a car. The central parts of the towns like Menlo Park, Palo Alto (close to Stanford University) are very desirable because they too have walkable down town areas. Then you are into areas like Mountain View and Sunnyvale. If you are on the Eastern side of the peninsula, then you really need a car to get around. Central San Jose is very polluted, and so many people prefer to live up in the mountains where the air is fresher.
Also, they are interested in working for startups, designing and implementing new code, with the chance of going IPO or being bought out, rather than being in support, maintenance or hardware verification.
Because many graduates prefer to live in areas which are walkable downtown and have a social life (to maintain a professional network of friends to help find the good jobs) they prefer to share a room in a house in these areas rather than an apartment somewhere isolated. You are looking at a monthly rent of $4000 to $8000 upwards for a house. Parts of Silicon Valley are majority Mexican, Black or Asian.
Some people go abroad for six month contracts. Leave their home exactly as it is with the car in the driveway. An individual should have the right to say whether they want their data retained or not. But then anyone who refuses to have their data retained is then a suspect.
Usually when advertise a job position like that some of those skills are to make the job sound sexy while the other set is what you will be doing, and another is what you might be doing. The more skills that are listed, the more likely that it's a management position (team leader) than an actual software engineer focused on one skill set.
Try going into London just to visit a conference event. No sooner than I'm off the train than tourists are going clicky-clicky with all their cameras. Everything - each other getting off the train, the historic clocks, the other trains, the platform. That's one set of cameras. Going through the crowns waiting for trains? More pictures taken. Walking past street corners? Selfie-stick time. Sit inside a sandwich shop? Someone's got to take a picture of that as well.
The freaky thing was that I never entered or went near one shop less than 50 meters, except to look in that direction for 20 seconds. Now they are sending me junk mail...
Unfortunately, the greatest pressure is that application developers want to be able to write an application once and have it run on multiple platforms. When someone is assigned that task to get the whizzy graph rendered with touchscreen navigation they want it done once for all platforms (Windows, Android, iOS, Linux) and to work with tablets, mice, keyboards and jog wheels.
So a single API like Unity, Unreal or Qt wins over Win32
They don't need to hack bitcoin. They just need to "mine" it instead. Everyone is writing optimized SHA-256 hashing systems on everything from GPU's with CUDA to OpenCL, bitcoin mining pools. You even get custom ASIC's costing $1500 that just sit there and do bitcoin mining. Someone gets lucky and finds a valid bitcoin blockchain hash, they're $4000 richer. ASUS came out with a motherboard with 19 molex sockets so that 19 GPU cards can be plugged into the same motherboard.
Or software licenses. You can go online, purchase a software license for a month or year, and all they send you is 25-digit license string. That could be worth anything from $1000 to $100,000 depending on whether it's a single seat license for a single system or a enterprise site license for hundreds of computers.
GUI has evolved for at least 30+ years. People were doing objected orientated assembly language back in the 1980's and mid 1990's on 8-bit/16-bit systems. The alternatives were for workstations were X-windows/Motif or Windows (win32). Sun brought out Java, and Microsoft brought out MFC then C#.
Trolltech provided Qt for desktops, but then moved into mobile. Now they are competing against Unity and Unreal for the API for desktop VR/AR/visualization applications and brought out QSG (Q-SceneGraph and QML).
Touchscreens have really made GUI way more complex because events are no longer simply key press/release, mouse move/click down/click up, but gestures like swipe left/right/up/down, pinch to zoom in/zoom out, and all the 3D stuff like virtual joysticks and rotate/jump/move.
There's the [junior|senior] software engineer, team leader, tech lead, project manager, director. A "[senior] software developer" seems to be more management than a software engineer. Engineering is more about collaboration and gettings bits of software to work together. Collaboration is the big thing now.
In the other direction, there is applications programmer/scientific programmer/visualization programmer. Programming is figuring out how to get a computer system to do a particular tasks eg. simulation program for supercomputers.
It really depends on where you work and whether there are more graduates coming from the local universities/colleges than there are jobs available. Whether the company is privately owned, bought out by a foreign investor, or owned by a parent company is another factor. Wall Street values public traded companies based on how low the average age of employees is vs. annual growth. That puts pressure on companies to have annual targets for promotions, hirings and decimation of the workforce.
It also depends on whether graduates can gain skills in your field from working with bits of hardware at home (desktop PC's, Android, smartphones, tablets etc...). That's offset by being able to build up a portfolio of work in that field. As an artist/animator you are competing against high-school students who work with Blender, Unity and Unreal all the time.
Some people and businesses speculate on computer components like CPUs, memory chips and hard disk drives. There are those that buy up the latest releases and sell them on like ticket touts. Then there are those that buy up auctioned off surplus military inventory; circuit boards for missiles, control systems, rocket boosters and just about anything else that they have space for.
As long as the governments can get their taxes at whatever end of the pipe the money comes from, they will be happy.
Exchanging currency is a gamble too. Even stable currencies like the pound, dollar, euro and norwegian kronor can double or half relative to each other. Used to be £2 = 1$, now it is around £1 = $1.20. The pound and euro used to be £1 = 1.5 euros, now they are almost the same. The Kronor has bounced between £1 = 8 NOK and 12 NOK
Because you have DHCP and you have inherited the IP address of someone who was into that sort of thing? Using the reverse location lookup based on IP address, I've lived in the Tower of London, under London Bridge, the Yorkshire Moors, Newcastle-upon-Tyme and Leeds.
Look at that TV news reporter who rescued the USA flag from muddy flooded ground in Texas. That would get spun as "Man steals USA flag from residents garden in broad daylight in front of TV cameras".
If you look in the right webpages, they'll tell you how to set up your personal data server, so you can access all your videos and documents from anywhere in the world without having to need a username or password to log in.
Are the other dining guests too noisy? Is there enough parking? Is the surrounding area safe?
Is the food served fresh? UK has a TV show with a famous chef helping diners solve their customer problems. Once place cooked everything fresh to perfection, then put in a deep freeze to last the whole week. Food was served half defrosted, or completely mushy.

The problem is that you have to buy bitcoins to buy those currencies, because the exchange traders only deal with bitcoins.

Yes, it's not hacking. Because there is the opportunity to mine bitcoins there isn't any need to hack the bitcoin ayatem.
Unfortunately, the greatest pressure is that application developers want to be able to write an application once and have it run on multiple platforms.
