Yes, and this new fangled "pay TV" won't have commercials either...

I've had the same job for over a decade. Although I mostly enjoy it, things have changed, and it may be time for me to move on. I have weeks of vacation to burn and was thinking of "trying" the next job out. That is, I am considering taking a 2-week vacation from the current job (keeping them unawares), and openly asking the future employer for 1-2 weeks to try the new job out (even for free) to see whether it's a fit for everyone involved. It sounds dramatic, but I really think it'd be a good way to reduce the "gamble" for both sides, especially since I am experienced enough to know that the people can make or break a job, in addition to the tasks you sign on for.

I never liked that video. Try putting the weighty engine and transmission back into that 1959 before the test, then crash them head-on and square (not quarter panel to quarter panel).

It's easy to have the latest stuff when you're late to the party.

Good. Now send it to "unstick" the other rover...

Although I'm tucking my reply in here where it seems to fit, I am directing it at the OP. I don't know what your capability was before the accident, or is now, but I guess my optimism for your condition compels me to suggest re-learning BASIC for starters, as some might come back to you. I know a little about many languages (professionally), but if I had to recommend a starting place for someone new to programming today, nothing seems to beat good old BASIC for getting going. Heck, it even has "beginner's" in its name! The problem is, the base language is not as ubiquitous today as it was when I cut my teeth on the 8-bit computers of the 1980s. However, I recently came across a newer cross-platform tool called "App Game Kit BASIC" that reminds me of the BASIC of those days. (Its co-creator claims to have first learned programming on those 8-bit machines.) It is game & 2D graphics-oriented (with 3D planned for the future), so a simple game creation would give you something to shoot for, and you could use whatever graphics you can find if you didn't want to create them from scratch. And, if you do progress over time, you can move your code from the PC over to other platforms like Mac, iOS, and Android with the tool. Also, I would recommend buying the 3rd party book, "Hands On AGK BASIC", that has an overall teaching style aimed at the beginner. I own the tool and the book and am pleased with the small learning curve since I could build on what I remembered from back when. Note: I am not affiliated with the tool, book, nor their respective companies. I wish you luck.

Copyright infringement is theft of permission. It takes away the copyright holder's ability to control any copying. So yes, it is stealing; not of the "product" per se, but of the holder's right of control. That cat doesn't go back in the bag.

Hmmm... I wonder what the honey badger's take is on all of this...

I've been in the water SCADA industry for 10 years. What I'm seeing lately are water operators, IT people, and system integrators who are overzealous when it comes to connectivity and all the "neat" things that can be done remotely via technology. It's the standard human foible when it comes to technology, writ dangerous: they consider what can be done versus whether it should be. The water industry isn't that exciting, so when flashy tech. comes along, and the taxpayer is footing the bill, I can see where they say "Yes!" And who is the salesperson to refuse this order?

I'm all for automation, and crying out when a system is in trouble. But I haven't yet seen where humanized remote control is critical. Hackers aside, it's probably better if it's not.

I enjoy all of those you insensitive clod!

"So where should I send it to make it known by people on the respective fields and be taken seriously?"

Why don't you use your fancy schmancy algorithm and locate that yourself!

Lmao!
