I used to clean bathrooms in a Manhattan shopping mall. I now have a tiny human. Cleaning the bathrooms was much, much more disgusting. It has been nearly 15 years and I still think about the horrible things I witnessed at that job. Changing my daughter’s diaper doesn’t even register to me as a gross thing to deal with.
It was mostly things that you would expect, given the job and location. People doing their business where they shouldn’t, mostly, but also sex, drug use, bleeding, shaving, vomit, flushing syringes and condoms down toilets and clogging them, etc. The most disgusting one I personally had to deal with involved finger painting with feces and menstrual blood. This isn’t really gross but my supervisor discovered an OD death in one of the bathrooms one morning and I’m grateful I never had to see that because I’d probably be afraid to discover another each morning if I had. That job offered me a lot of perspective and I’m happy I worked it but it was also frequently disgusting!
I’ve been a homeowner for a mere two years and I’ve discovered many things wrong with my house. YouTube has a video outlining what I need to fix and how to fix it 90% of the time. Tradespeople get called for the remaining 10%. It’s possible a class with a curriculum and structure would help but YouTube has what you need for ad hoc homeowner issues.
Me too! It's crazy to me that I've never met you or the parent poster but we were living very similar lives the last week of the year due to the same Java DateTime design decision!
I took a class on computer vision and we used the OpenCV library extensively [0]. I remember that we had a project relating to detecting certain traffic signs, and obtaining the dominant color of images was a big part of my solution. Also, this tutorial seems like it would be helpful [1].
I have a friend who writes modern fortran nearly everyday as an actuarial pension analyst in Manhattan. They hired him out of college having never written a "hello world" script. Hope that helps!
