This is very true. You'll probably hate your MD studies with all your guts by the end of the first year. You'll hardly make it though if money is your only motivation.
I remember using Totaljs (the framework) for a pet project a couple of years ago when I was willing to check out the nodejs hype for myself. Websocket support was nice.
I should have probably gone for something more "traditional" like Express (to learn proper node), but I have to say that coming from Java/Spring, I felt quite at home with it. Also, learnt a lot about callback hell.
Nice to see they went on with the project and built some stuff on it. Open source looks like the way to go for them, which is a good thing for everyone.
That's a great idea for training an AI for, and someone totally has already done it. I'm training myself to (be able to) live off the grid when time comes.
To be fair, some (most?) of the advances wouldn't have been possible without economic competition between manufactors, but closed source/closed design/closed production is bound to produce result like these. So, i don't know... Tradeoffs?
I have something very simple, A folder called FFR = For Future Reference, where I'll keep the most interesting stuff. Trusting Trust (and Overcoming Trusting Trust), Windows' NSA_KEY, and the like. Most are in the folder with no further hierarchy, but some are categorized into Security, DIY, UI/UX, Gift Ideas, etc.
I also have bookmarks at the root level for things that I will Definitely See Tomorrow™, which I never erase, because hey, They could be important.
I have a recurrent issue where I have two graphics cards in my laptop (it's practically a standard for years now). A decent high power card, and a simple low power card maybe integrated into the processor.
When you start an application, one of the two cards will handle that application.
I generally can't my browser with the high power card; probably because browser vendors don't want to sacrifice battery life all of the time for some fancy effects a small slice of the time.
But I'm no expert. Chrome seems to handle things better than Firefox, that's why I still have it.
I don't know of UI slips, but that'd be incompetente, yes.
