I work for a German software company as a software developer (duh..) in my local city, only 10 miles from my house :)

Maybe you've heard of them (InVision Software).

Really sweet job actually, been doing it now for 10 months, and yes its busy and tough at times, and I'm still learning it, but I'm getting on the best.

Best thing is they are global, with sales offices all over Europe and now in the States.

With trips to Germany 3 times a year, it really is a sweet gig :D

I done that with the air training corps (ATC), except I did a loop a barrelroll and a few stall turns

I did the barrel roll as well but i was grinnig to much after the loop, the instructor did the other manovers (we were working on site and went out for a drink with the insructor in liverpool the night before and he offered to take us flying) so for a freebie it was a goood laugh. You didn't do the flying with the ATC at woodvale (near liverpool) as well did you?

Rutgers (my university) Telefund.

Basically, it's a telemarketting job. You call alumni/parents/companies and ask for donations. Lol, oh well. I hate telemarketters.. how ironic.

It pays well and it's only 3.5 hours a day. $10 per hour plus bonuses. So, it's a perfect student job.

Cool, I would love to have a flight in a Jaguar! When I went to RAF Marham I actually sat in a Tornado when it was in its hanger (it might not sound that good but when you are actually sitting in it when its in a hangar you can feel its power - its quite cramped as well :))

Yeah but when you walk out the in the hanger or on the flight line, Somthing like the tornado or jaguar, you just cant help but get a bit of the top gun feeling (the old music) :D :D and yes the jaguar is just as cramped as the tornado, at 6' 1" my knees were in danger :D

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      If only Windows would have a toggle switch named "Get the latest updates as soon as possible" inside Windows Update settings... But nah, let's hide the new stuff inside a controlled feature rollout, even if the user is explicitly asking for the new stuff as soon as possible.

      After watching the Apple event earlier this week it is quite the contrast. Apple is going back and tweaking the code to make things more efficient in many areas of MacOS. Windows is boosting your electric build to hide their issues.

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
