I think kung fu would be a combination of muscle memory and cognitive memory. So I imagine it's not as easy to simulate the firing synapses required for it.
Is there a neuroscientist here who can elaborate on this?
Why is it when you're looking for something and you give up, that the moment you sit down to tackle another task, you remember where the item was?
It's called threading. You request an information item and it will be delivered at another moment in time while your brain is searching for it.
If you're doing it in a main thread, you're blocking all other processes and are doing emotional system calls because it's not going fast enough. (you get frustrated, angry, or try to force to think faster, blocking you to do what for which you needed the information,...)
This last is overloading your CPU and makes everything hang. (it's the analogy of windows search indexer running while you're hitting ctrl+alt+del to try to kill what's mysteriously hanging the system. But all your buttonpushing is making it more difficult for the system to handle the task and you're delaying it further)
Err, microfilm tech was likel around at that point, and these things were so famous that folks would have been queuing up to pay for the effort to scan and disseminate them. Other methods would have been around.
It wouldn't have been profitable for those who speculated about the content in various books.
Also, in that day and age, you always have the experts go in first, make their translation, study and interpretation and dumb it down for the general populus in bookform for them to understand. 50 years ago, information was created, distributed and consumed very differently.
These are the IT equivalents of a McJob and put you at the wrong end of a stressful firing range
These types of jobs will make your degree vaporware: there are large badges of these centres with people re-oriented in their carreers in a "2 week training program" because they "want to go into IT"
Besides it, it will give you a wrong image of the IT-industry, give you a sense of disillusioning and burn you out before you can built up some kind of carreer.
Step two: convince someone to pay you to do it (or hire someone to do it)
Step three: Do it and justify why you do it (by reports, metrics, meetings and seminars)
Step four: do it for a while but realize obvious flaws
Step five: Try to meet expectations made in two and three.
Step Six: find something else, or train someone else to do that what was cool and seemed a good idea but now has been breaking your balls.
Step seven: once nobody wants to do or pay to do anymore, it will cease to exist as justifyable service OR claim expertise and keep doing three and five
Step eight: next justifiable activity which gets you money
We loved to play with HTML and JavaScript, but then it didn't need to be profitable and everything was sortof a proof of concept or an vague idea. Implementations get progressively more complex and "creative".
Years ago, I didn't know what "^H^H^H^H^H" meant. (It is, apparently, how one typed a backspace on a rather old type of computer).
It's nostalgia around old terminal machines. It's an old type of nerd who would appreciate that humor as it clicks with their generation of computer discovery and use. It also establishes a connection amongs the nerds who had the same type of PC usage style and belong to the same "PC Universe".
Your nerdiness is not my nerdiness. I personally judge whether or not a story is good for Slashdot by the likelihood of seeing it on CNN
You are a "young nerd" if I read that. There was a day everything newsworthy and nerdy (deep specialized) would be found first here (now it is watered down and less exclusive I believe). The internet was a bit the back-room hangout were nerds were doing their things and communicating about it. Often in connection with research themselves posting the cool thing they were doing or have done. CNN and other "general information sources" were often mocked and considered inaccurate.
Geek culture is a mysterious, ethereal thing that spans interests of many different types and complexities.
I believe a geek used to be someone with a deep fascination about a subject and spending alot of time going deep into it. Say, the "Nintendo" or "Star wars" cultures.. They unite those who were taken by it. The aspect of being highly appreciative about those things and have this overly nostalgia or focus on it is more likely by "geeks" giving them culture. (I myself am 29, Nintendo is deeply ingrained nostalgia for me)
Does Huawei have some special agreement with cisco, then?
I remember working underneath them, wondering about who they were and what they do (talking about 5 years ago in Belgium, as they had their workforce almost double each week in a small office with people working day and night.)
The only reply I got from colleagues was "They take cisco hardware and repackage it, they even don't bother to update the references to Cisco in their software."
As a upside; they couldn't drive. They would hit all our lease-cars. So colleagues would "strategically place" their cars in order to get insurance replace little own mistakes on their costs.
I've read about plenty of them in a "chick or the egg" situation: commercants don't want to settle because there are no clients. Residents aren't drawn because there is no commerce running and there is nobody else.
Such as your position by shining a light on the enemy.
It's not hard to imagine a heat-signature drawn system is fitted with a laser to scan the surface to match the heat-signature.
Or you spread out an array of IR-markers to map the area in a Kinect kindof fashion (or automate it to match the heat-signature by reflected IR-markers.)
I'm certain you could sweep-scan different spectrums, you can analyze the output to find anomalies.
The army doesn't show off this tech without having counter-measures themselves.
and realize that it's inevitable that one day this will all be reclaimed again by the sea.
Necessity will drive creativity and technological evolution. It will spur alot of young (to be) inspired engineers to come up with new solutions and create a new generation of Dutch specialists in these type of projects.
I wonder about the statistics about the amount of people dieing in a plane blown up by direct action of an individual boarding the plane (other as a distracted pilot) and other deaths (like carcrashes) and the efficiency of effort or measures plus the relation to the public perception of fear and risk.
You have the experienced commute drivers who have traffic insight and are efficient. They wont give you surprices and know to anticipate but are more prone to point out your mistakes and maljudgement when you're in unknown territory.
You have women (in metropoles often scared and hesitant), black people (very very very slow and too relaxed, I think they drive high) and old people who drive very insecure, slow and do unexpected maneouvers. These are more frequent at evenings and in the weekends
Speedy gonzales who have their above-average car and are showing off (the lower the age, the more dangerous and the less predictable risks they take.)
Drunk and tired people, usually at night, very little reponsive, slow but they don't bother you. By the time you've long passed them they've noticed you.
I then continue rolling at relatively low speed (with the shift stick in neutral, so the car doesn't brake on the engine).
To what advantage ? To get a rolling start ? You push it back into gear to drive off again ? Or to block people behind you... ? Maybe you're not used driving is very dense traffic conditions.. ?
The usual action is:
See red light
You estimate distance and start to break on the engine (shifting down progressively without applying gas), this breaks you fluently (you don't cause a wave of hard stopping behind you)
If the light jumps green, you apply gas and you are in perfect gear to accellerate and continue driving
If the light stays on red, you keep on breaking on the engine until stopped and you wait.

Ofcourse. What do you expect. I'm a software engineer writing software which management designed.

Avoid it if there are no alternatives.

What generation of programmers do you belong to? For the C, C++, .NET and even Java programmers JavaScript is very intuitive.
TOo complex? Get on the JQuery band. Still too complex? well, sorry buddy but ...
What exactly is a "clean well designed language" ? Is it more like one you know well ? And which one would that be?
People aren't talking about ECMAScript anymore? Helloooo..?
In android you can hook up javascript functions and have them call Android code. see addJavascriptInterface
You must remember windows 95 and windows ME and take it as a reference...
I have had the EXACT same sentiments about Linux with this process:
Ubuntu etc has been a step up
blablablabla MY CHILDREN WOULD NEVER blabla I DID BETTER blablabla THEY GOT THE BAD FROM OTHERS blablabla SELFEGOPET blablabla I'M BETTER
Stop feeling better as anyone else.
Sssttt. He memorized how to use Vim. He is in a happy place, typing away... He'll last for another 18 years in his monochrome CRT glow...

Carmageddon. The purpose of the game was killing civilians. And cows.

Cynical geeks are so Millenial.

Perfect setting for an apocalyptic scenario..

It depends. There are plenty of women who enjoy sex. But they are easily painted off as whores.
Or there are women who confuse sex with love and get hurt all the time after someone just "played them", so they choose not to get burned anymore.
Then there are the women who fuse sex with love and don't give their body unless they're in a loving relationship and feel a connection.
For men sex is a whole different kind of thing. And flirting and such serves another purpose or goal for each sex.

Thanks for pointing that out.
May I remind you English is my 4th language before you go all grammar-nazi on people.
