AI summary; "Yes, astronomers have observed that Neptune's prominent clouds have largely disappeared, and NASA scientists suggest this phenomenon is linked to the sun's 11-year solar cycle and its impact on Neptune's atmosphere"
The article has 1.5% per decade and that's over the past 2 decades, which could be accounted for by the measuring point, especially with an 11 year solar cycle.
Point / function is it loads a website every x seconds. The obfuscation comes as it's utility, as it loads in an iframe in your browser you have the full pull of the site inc js etc, which if you wanted to could be used to semi obfuscate your surfing. i.e. creates a bigger haystack to find the needles of your surfing.
I bought my first "Head First Design Patterns" 12 years ago, worked through it, and it didn't make sense. I've dipped into PoEAA and Gang of Four since, with the same problem. The way messy life is meant to fit patterns... it didn't gel.
Any thoughts?
And thanks for your great reminder about meeting up to bounce ideas around. I'm going looking for them.
Difficult problem, I do know what you mean about fitting messy life into patterns, that said some can still be invaluable at times.
Something like a singleton would be handy to stop multiple creation of an object, for web design mvc just makes life a lot easier by decoupling different parts and in theory for your project something like an observer pattern could be created to notify other systems to a state change. http://www.java2s.com/Tutorials/Java/Java_Design_Patterns/01...
In the end there's many ways and approaches, maybe even brushing up some class design stuff in another language might help.
Good luck on your journey, sounds like you'll be fine.
Would say general brain storming and inquisitiveness, i.e. how does this actually work and can I improve on it.
As an example of this thinking, I looked at ghostery a while back and thought it could be cool to work out what I would have leaked and to which websites. "Would have been tracked" was born, though still got to get around to coding, feel free to take it you want.
As a few other high level project suggestions; cloning programs for different languages, play around with electronics (there's years there) or pick a few open source projects to contribute to.
I learnt hardly anything computer related at uni, I actually lost some knowledge. However the social side and the things I learnt about myself made it more then worth it.
So true with the contracts on the side. A lot of start ups end up taking years, need something for living/server costs so you can keep following the dream.
Just fixing this problem myself at the moment. Currently living with parents working on a new version of my main startup. Bartered a work exchange with a designer for a new design for the site so I can purely work on the code. Last week picked up a side contact for 5 days every 2 weeks for a minimum of 10 weeks and got another possible contract after they have finish their funding run.
So will probably be back working full time with contract combo and will just hire out simple bits of code / skip sleep for my start up
