Assuming the mirror was traveling at light speed would it constantly show the same point in time?

I've worked various jobs, but the most grueling one was at a glass factory. I worked for 4 years at the factory; part of it swing shift, part straight days, and part straight afternoons. I was mentally understimulated and depressed for various reasons. Working swing shift screwed up my sleep schedule, probably for the rest of my life. The upside is that I can go significant times without feeling tired. I think the longest stint I was awake was 38 hours with one hour of sleep.

I wouldn't want to do it again, but it made me thankful for the job and skills I have now.

Same with libreddit. It was fun while it lasted.

I would not say brainfuck is obscure. Definitely esoteric, but it seems like every cs student and junior engineer has at least heard of it. Writing a compiler for it is a great starting project.

I don't see why not. I've had multiple positions in the industry. The ones where I was happiest and most productive where when I was emcoiraged to have work life balance.

You could use a kindle for that.

I could use an ipad for it, which I already own. The point is I want to use my android phone, and there is no good reason why I shouldn't be able (other than google doesn't let me, which isn't a good reason!)

I love my kindle paper white. It has great battery life, and is a convenient size to just throw in a bag or my back pocket.

Same.

BTW, I purchased the discounted "sponsored" version that shows ads but employed a minor "hack" to turn off the promotional messages.

I also don't purchase any ebooks from the Kindle store (which makes those promotional messages particularly pointless and annoying) as there are plenty of legitimate sources that provide DRM-free ebooks in standards-compliant EPUB format that I can back up on my own computer in perpetuity, and transform into Kindle-compatible MOBI files on demand for transfer to the device via USB.

I did purchase the non-sponsored Kindle in the most recent version but had sponsored versions before and the promotions were pretty inoffensive. I only switched this past time as I decided I wanted the actual book artwork to show on the screen instead of a promotional image.

I preciously worked for an insurance broker on a site that encouraged people to get active. Something we did was Aggregate data from various platforms (fitbit, Garmin, apple health, etc). We used a third party called Validic, but their implementation was subpar. One of their big selling points was a consistent data format between services, unfortunately this wasn't true. For certain service/activity combinations we need a work around for the data thag they sent us. If you could make a service that aggregated data from different services and provided them in a consistent format you'd make a killing.

Thank you for sharing your experience on the challenges of data aggregation from different platforms. It's interesting to hear how you dealt with it while working for an insurance broker. I was previously looking to build a B2B marketplace for medical equipment, but your comment has inspired me to explore more about data aggregation services and their potential applications in the medical industry.

You're assuming somebody is going to be listening. Many organizations that would have been listening 50 years ago have had funding taken from them.

This is one of the biggest problems I see for getting new friends as a millennial. About a year ago I got my amateur radio license. I started to talking to a few people locally and eventually went to club meetings and lunches. I'm in my mid-30s; almost everybody else involved in amateur radio in my area is old enough to be my parent or grandparent.

Well I'm in my 50s and wouldn't consider a single one of the clubs listed in the GP as I feel like the people in those clubs would all be older than me. (Plus I hate religious and quasi-religious organizations like those.) On the other hand, I've considered going to some meetups and usually don't because I'm sure I'd be the oldest person there. (Plus the few meetups I've gone to were mostly attended by people who were desperate for attention and socialization, or who were trying to sell stuff to the other members. But that may just be where I live.)

Thanks for unlocking the memory I have of getting my radio license in my early 20s. Got a lot of questions about why I was interested in radio, but in the sort of way that you might ask an alien what the purpose for their visit is.

Also if anybody is reading this and interested in radio - take the test! It's cheap and you can cram the material in a day.
