Re:Ask HN: Is no one hiring junior devs? on Tuesday August 09, 2022 @02:21PM (#32401762)
As a Junior who graduated BSc Computer Science in June this year I haven't been able to find anything. I don't want to leave Canada (Although I am willing to relocate within Canada) but a lot of my fellow alumni who have found jobs are going to be working in the US.

I worked a lot of hours through my degree in a non-tech position (Bills/Tuition are expensive) and as a result don't really have much in the way of a portfolio outside of stuff built in class. That seems to be a big limiter but at least something I can work at.

I did take a volunteer position for a local non-profit over a few summers when I had the time but it was more sysadmin/helpdesk style work and nobody seems to care. I've had such a hard time I'm actually looking into joining the Military.

In the first table, in the first row (11th Gen), the professional column is missing the core count. It currently says "(Up to 4.8 GHz, Cores)" and by https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208664/... it should be "(Up to 4.8 GHz, 4 Cores)".

I couldn't find an exact exposure time for the Hubble image, the press release by the ESA has this quote though: "This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks." [1] There is also another comment further down this thread stating Hubble was 140 hours. [2]

I'm not sure if "proper" DICOM files are different (DRM?) but during my undergrad I had a medical imaging class working with anonymized DICOM files and we used Pydicom (With Jupyter Notebook) to display the images and annotations: https://pydicom.github.io/pydicom/stable/index.html
Odd, for what it's worth I'm running `Mozilla Firefox 97.0.1` and it shows up.

The docs are here:https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers#firefox

The only thing that stands out to me is "Containers are disabled in Private Browsing windows and when Never Remember History is selected in your privacy settings."

I personally use Firefox's "Multi-Account Containers" which Mozilla advertises as "an improved version of the Containers feature built into Firefox and available to advanced users". It requires an official add-on though: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account....

Obsidian is great. I use Syncthing to share my "database" between all my devices. I can do some quick edits/take notes on the go and when I get home the changes are already mirrored to my desktop.
