It was behind some trees about 30-40 meters away, I ran across the street to get a better view(it was suspicious after all) and didn't notice much parallax shift, but I doubt I would have seen much against a blue sky. Obviously if you don't have a good view of a random object like that it's extremely hard to judge distance. It might as well have been a point object that's almost impossible to judge anything other than color/shape/movement. The movement is what made me realize it's a UFO, if it disappeared or kept moving at a reasonable rate I wouldn't have though twice about it since it's probably some white/silver balloon being blown in the wind or something.

Even if it was close by, you don't jump from almost stationary to the other side of the sky from your perspective at a reasonable speed.

I saw a UFO once, and it looked and behaved exactly like everyone says it does. Silvery oval shape, hovering and moving left/right in a straight line before accelerating at an insane rate. Moved across the sky in a quarter of a second. It was about half a nail's width at arm's length distance.

I did hear a stereotypically UFO hovering sound a few minutes later even though there was nothing anywhere around me.

Either this is psychological and people have some kind of built-in hallucination effect for this specific phenomena in the sky. Which is interesting and should be studied. Or it's the real thing. And if it's real it's not going to affect our life by any amount unless we want it to. If the aliens wanted to land and share information or anything else with us they would have done it already, and we can't force them to do any such thing so who cares.

I am also extremely skeptical of Roswell type claims of crashed craft, unless the aliens have horrible QA engineers or we get millions of visitors per century I doubt they would crash one of their flying cars on our planet.

Loneliness comes from a lack of community and people who you can trust. You will not build a community and find people who you can trust through small talk and involving yourself in groups that are based on transient interests that can be changed in an instant. There is a reason gangs and groups have some sort of hazing and acceptance ceremony.

I wonder how time zones on other planets would work once relativistic time dilation has to be considered. Add a multiplier to how fast your clock ticks? I suppose satellites should have this problem already resolved but only in Earth's sphere of influence.

Also simply travelling to Mars would desynchronize the time and would have to be resynced.

Just getting into FreeBSD and reading through the Absolute FreeBSD book right now. Remembered that Michael states "The main use for swap on modern systems is to have a place to store a memory dump should the system panic and crash."

I think this is reason enough to enable swap even if you do not plan on using swap for system memory. It's always nice to have a memory dump if the system crashes so you can check what the issue was and correct it. If you wouldn't want to fix those kinds of issues why would you be running FreeBSD anyway?

And get sued by Google? You aren't allowed to use them to train anything that could compete with Google's business or products as part of the usage agreement.

It could be a good place where you can network a find a way to transfer to the US. But staying in Canada permanently working in Tech is a bad idea salary wise.

Probably from the fact entry level software jobs require minimum 2 years experience?

And what about those students who didn't take internships while going to school because they don't like alternating between work and school?

Did you ask anyone if they would be willing to pay for the product before creating it? And maybe it failed to make money, but did it solve what it was trying to? If it did I don't think it failed, you just decided to make a product that wasn't commercially viable.
