I'd want a 3D node editor interface much like Blender's texture or geometry creation interface. The nodes would be 3D objects (cubes, cylinders, etc) and nested groups of objects w/ physical ports that could be wired together

Look for startup positions. In my experience, while startups are in growth mode they need people who can pitch-in and do whatever is required. Your many skills would suit that kind of environment well. Once in, maybe you could pivot to spec

Sure, the wealthy would have means to pay for cures, life-extension, organ-regeneration while the poor would not. Imagine the dystopia that creates. Let's say there was a 100% effective treatment for cancer/MLS but cost $20,000 pe

That looks useful. Of course, one big difference is Neptyne is "in the cloud" versus an app you have to do download.

Spy balloons, due to their much lower altitude, can take higher resolution photos & more accurate 3D scans of facilities as well as pick up short range radio transmissions (both intentional & unintentional) not possible from a spy s

So many people miss the point: We can do very little about AI tools including your content in their training set where, much transformed, it might influence created output. What creators should have control over is attribution & being u

I think we all are about to feel Generative AI fatigue. When our feeds & ads are flooded w/ content that, on the surface, appears to have high-quality visual elements plus well-crafted prose, it'll take us that much longer to

Are you more junior or senior than the team working on greenfield projects? Management often keeps people in maintenance either because they've stereotyped them as too green or too seasoned or maybe just they have pigeonholed you as a

100% this. Ageism manifests as dismissiveness or intimidation. Keeping skills current & showing accomplishments negates the first and humility and being personable helps mitigate the second. Sometimes in an interview when I suspect the

Add an Other Skills & Experience section at the end of your resume with relevant experience minus the dates. It'll be picked up by the keyword bots & maybe trigger curiosity from hiring managers who will bring you in just to as

Easy answer (to get the job offer, anyway) when asked "We sometimes work long hours. Are you OK with that?" I answer, "I've pulled 80-90 hour weeks (just last year) & luckily my kids are old enough that they don&#x27

Exactly. Managers should insist that peer-reviewers give specific attributes or behaviors. Also, "cultural fit" questions can be casually ageist as hell. I was asked once (at 40 or so), "We like to skateboard around the offic

I think you balance the two tricks by defining "Figure out enough to get started" as "Understanding the problem (without overthinking it)." For me this means walking through use-cases of an idea "on paper" whil

I did something similar, although it was a Windows desktop app. Finding and picking names was easy. My wife and I found it hard to rank them so the app (like yours) showed two names (drawn from her list, my list and top 200 popular names) a

FYI: Many variations of Collatz (Mx+N where M and N are different numbers, imaginary numbers, etc.) have been explored. If I remember right many behave trivially/uninterestingly or are equivalent to Collatz only not as simple. So, Coll

Joseph Campbell's theory of archetypes blew my mind. He basically reverse-engineered stories and myths from cultures past and present from around the world to find the common "hero stories." So, studying primitive, superstiti

I agree somewhat but the solution is tricky. You've described two problems, actually: 1) Community norms/culture and 2) censorship/banning. Ideally, the "next Reddit" would/should allow flagging content that is

Including a video resume seems like a bad idea. Remember, the purpose of a resume is to get a face-to-face interview (or COVID-19 equivalent). Your video, IMHO, only allows people to form superficial opinions about you without the time comm

Good point. Anonymity is good for some things, bad for others. Likewise, though, talk to anybody from a small town and they'll complain about the "tyranny" of everybody knowing who you are, who your family is, and where you l
