Hi there,

This may be an odd request, but I'm looking for someone who can program, I'm not entirely sure which language would suit best in the situation I'm looking for but it's an interesting subject to discuss, it involves clocking. The measurement of speed of 2 objects with one of them having a deceleration rate.

There also will be requirements that you are 19+ (and to be perfectly honest, you don't really need to be 19+ and I'm sure a lot of people can lie about it anyway) and it would be very beneficial if you are also into laws of physics, alongside with being interested in math and/or numbers.

I'm going to currently assume there won't be a lot of candidates and even if there were, the activity or interest in said subject will not be appealing and/or they will not take the offer/risk/opportunity in it seeing that most people that I've asked in real life thus far, has passed on the interest as they are content with life etc.

Please add me on Discord to further discuss, as the subject may be sensitive or confidential.

Feel free to ask or inquiry about stuff if you want here, answers may be limited.

Best regards,

Define the task: is there any hardware platform for data acquisition or it has to be designed and built? Measured speeds are to be available on site, in real time or data will be processed later/elsewhere? What precision is desired? And many more.
Language choice will be limited by the above and, in real life systems, more than one language is used

this is a narrowly specialized field, don't be surprised that nobody jumps at vague opportunity when (s)he has interesting job already

It's simply software to be made, to be used on either PC or a phone device in real time available as soon as possible.

example would be, press a button to start clocking, press again to obtain the speed for object A, same goes with object B, press start, wait maybe less than 2 seconds, press, wait 2, press, wait 2, press, to obtain clocking object B speed and finding out the deceleration speed.

And I know that programming and coding already results in a great job, but this can be by far, the better job, if done well.

So what you want to do is replace radar/lidar speed meter with an app for a smartphone. OK, doable and easy, but measurement precision would be, well, something like "crawl-slow-medium-fast-lightning!" for most imaginable applications. I've no use for such device nor would learn anything new/usefull from coding it. Sooo ... I'll stick to woodworking in the diy department )

It's more than just clocking speeds though, there would be other variables, but I wouldn't be able to mention that here. Clocking a speed is the most simplistic terms of what you'd be doing, besides it's not like I'm not trying to find a coder/programmer for free, there's more than just a price to this from myself, it's also completely useful for the person who is developing it, for their own use if they wish to use it for their own luxury.

The limitation on what is here, is priceless and endless, there is actually no limitation, it's how and what you want to do, the possibilities are forever.

Limitations are obvious. Using factory detectors (cameras, microphones, accelerometers) of smartphones or laptops you can make a toy. No matter how sophisticated algorithms you have, how professional it would look, it still will be a toy. Reason is simple, you can't declare and guarantee any parameters of the measurement (range, accuracy, linearity and so forth and so on). This comes from the fact that you don't have any control nor assurance that built-in detectors meet any conditions.

(Not so) fun fact: usb flash sticks with the same manufacturers product id can have completly different components inside in different manufacturing batches. With different timings of commands and command use-patterns. Shocked? Get used to it, it is becoming a norm in consumer market electronics

if you want someone to enter inside for a dinner, offer some appetizer. "try us out, you won't regret" usually won't do :)

But modern computers are only extremly close approximation of determinism. Good enough for daily use, but try using unshielded modern chips in space ;)

seeds cannot be infinite in this universe

afaik universe being finite is hypothesis? I don't track cosmology news )

I'm joking with space chips. This is perfectly determnistic system, unpredictable only from practical pov.

afair from lectures god, that was long time ago and teacher was thick as plank, infinite output possibilites can come only from nondeterministic machine. very simple one: read input, print one of inifinte amount of outputs, end. ain't the theory sweet thing:)

Ok, enough of that. 2am isn't best time to dig in dust of half forgottent theories )

Is there an actual use case to the abstract requirements, or are you just looking for someone to do programming homework for you ?

It's not just programming homework for me, it benefits them if they want to learn what it's about.

I can code myself, just not in the sense that is required, this isn't all about me or trying to be selfish, this truly can help whoever that wants to be included.

The requirements are vague, but they are there for a reason of being able to do it themselves, even if they want to exclude me from it, I'm just giving them the info of what I know and from that point on, they can also research it themselves, they can leave me in the dust if they want and pursue it themselves because it is a possibility they themselves are already smart enough to know after finding all the stuff required, they won't need me since I am the one asking for them and I won't be a requirement.
