You have to be driven and use all the free resources you can because there is some kid out there who is and will get the job.
You want to break in, learn mobile programming. Projects and demands still allow newbies off the street to make it. The web is easy but really confusing if you haven't paid attention the past decade. Mobile apps always have something new to fiddle with. Good luck.
One option that could help with projects are udemy or similar courses. I've done a couple courses centered around a project, like this one:

You'd probably want to personalize/customize the projects, but could be a good starting point.

I worked a programming job out of college for 4 years. Then I quit and did some of this and that for 14 years. Just got my 2nd full time programming job at 40 years old. I’m sharing this to let you know it’s possible and you’re still young.
This sounds like a misapplication of lower level neural network functions. At this higher level of emergence (human behavior) the information transmitted through the network is different than what you would see at that lower level. I will give credit, the general idea of an adapting informational network absolutely does apply, just a little bit differently at this scale.
Find a hobby that’s fun and helps you meet people. It'll help put all that work stuff into perspective.

You’ll focus on something different for a while, meet people with lives and interests away from work, and give you a sense of security not connected to your professional life. I used to have a good outdoors group where we would go stargazing homes during the week, camping over the weekend, and lots of other activities. I started to like aspects of my job more after I did this
Breaking the blockade would be extremely difficult to do for a variety of reasons. Primarily, unless the US was willing to attack mainland China, there's no way they could overcome the PLA/PLAN. And if the US attacks mainland China, the risk of the conflict going nuclear rises exponentially.

If I were the PLAN, I would focus on three areas; MRBMs to keep the CVNs far far away, airpower over the region to keep Japan out, and submarines to enforce the blockade.

They currently have enough DF-21 to make the USN very skittish about approaching within range of current carrier aircraft. There are countermeasures to the DF-21, particularly the targeting chain that can be disrupted, but that's dicey.

The PLA currently has enough aircraft in the region to gain air superiority, though not air supremacy.

Submarines are the real wild card. The US Navy's SSN fleet is stretched thin, and is in declining numbers compared to the PLAN fleet. Qualitatively, the USN is far superior, but...

In terms of other ASW assets, the USN is woefully unprepared for fighting against an opponent with home turf advantage. The CVNs no longer carry organic ASW assets, and have lost a lot of the institutional knowledge learned during the Cold War. The surface fleet has also let ASW skills atrophy.

All these combine to make it very unlikely the US would attempt to overcome a blockade in the next decade. If the US were to invest a significant amount of money above the current baseline in shipbuilding, this calculus might be different.
This is retarded.

You are comparing a Breakaway Civ to launching the CURRENT equivalant of humans into space??

So, from the Wikipedia entry, it seems that the use of lithium in nuclear weapon engineering was indeed a volume driver - in part, because only specific isotopes are used, meaning that lots and lots of lithium had to be mined and then separated, to deliver the needed isotopes (primarily lithium-6 and lithium-7). However, it seems that a lot of the demand comes from the fact that lithium-6 can be irradiated to generate tritium, which is used a a “booster” - do indeed the use in lithium deuteride might be a red herring.

> The fork starts from before the unstaking transaction.

So what? The fork wouldn't be built on by anyone but the attacker. Any new entrant would have software that expects a blockchain being built substantially faster (or with substantially higher difficulty).

> you wouldn't have to reason it out if you had read the paper I linked.

I have read Peolstra's "pos.pdf" that PoS detractors incessently reference multiple times. The paper's conclusion is not correct. All the problems he presents are solvable at once (eg in this protocol: https://github.com/fresheneesz/validatedProofOfStake). He doesn't consider that hard coded checkpoints handily solve the problem of long-range revisions.

Can the ship company sue the Suez Canal Authority for their pilots grounding the ship? It seems the Suez Canal Authority has washed their hands of any wrongdoing.
In surveys of hundreds of human cultures, I don't believe anthropologists have found a single one in which women are, on average, even as tall as men. Though average height differs considerably between groups, there appears to be a consistent bias favoring men (see Fig 1. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1558-5646....).

We also know that although secular changes in diet can shift population averages over time, the heritability of height is pretty high: most estimates end up at about 0.8. If your parents were short, getting adopted into a tall family is not going to help you become taller.

Height is a highly polygenic trait and no single gene controls more than a few percent of the variance. When people say that we don't know the "genes for height", that's what they mean, not that the jury is still out on whether height has any genetic basis at all.
It doesn't hurt but I got a great career out of just being a hands-on kind of technical developer. I tried, and mostly succeeded to avoid places where politics play a big role. That said working well with others is important and I also do that well (If I may say so myself ;) ). Politics as in scheming for power are a total turn off for me. Never been interested and not interested in working with others that operate that way. Incredibly lucky to be able to pick and choose.
I think the issue is more that the group that bought Audacity had thrown several red flags, of which this is one.

However, Audacity is cool and all, but I wonder if it would be better to create a simplified frontend based on Ardour, the way GarageBand is for Logic.
The OP said Hoare had invented null (which is true), not that it was one of his achievement.

My whole point is that they're not really comparable from a level of effort perspective, despite claims.

Hosted Kubernetes isn't significantly easier either, as every host is offering you different things as "Kubernetes" and has different ways that you will need to manually intervene to overcome problems.

I'm only telling you this from experience, being years down the rabbit hole already.

I might be a bit biased [0], but I feel like this is where profiling tools, and particularly continuous profiling tools shine. Sampling profilers look at stack traces X number of times per second resulting in a very low CPU overhead. And so essentially you're getting a very high precision trace. It's not exactly the same (e.g the order in which functions were called is not preserved), but can still be used for the same type of performance analysis.

For rust you can use eBPF to get these traces down to system calls. You can even profiler other people's software with it.

I mean in terms of developer interest, I haven't seen anybody working towards getting those patches (or similar things) merged. It would be easiest to get this working in a rootless server (like XWayland) first and then go backwards from there. In the case of compositing on multiple monitors, scaling isn't independent of DPI settings. They are the same problem, because at some point you will get an app that is mismatched and you'll have to scale it along with its input coordinates.

The physical measurements could be used to inaccurately guess defaults, some Wayland servers might do that, but it's not preferred. The X server doesn't "misreport" DPI in the sense that it's purposefully sending a wrong value, there's a process that it does (I may not be remembering this exactly) where it tries to read from the EDID, which could be wrong values. If the values are there but wrong those will just get quietly passed through, if those are zero then it then tries to fill in measurements based on a default DPI. Random X clients with access to RandR can also change the measurements stored in the server for whatever reason -- basically there is no possible way for this value to always be correct if you just want a number that tells you what DPI to target.

You're right this could be fixed, just like every bug could technically be fixed if given enough attention, but somebody needs to take the time to backport the Wayland method to X, which I don't have high hopes for it happening any time soon. The main thing you're missing in the server, as I said, is scaling of input coordinates. The compositor or the toolkit can't do this, it has to happen in the server, because those events are sent directly from the server to the client. It's probably a better approach to get that working, and then put a prop on the root window, and then hack kwin/mutter/whatever to use that, but I don't think anyone has tried to implement it that way yet.

Not necessarily. Even 11k lines of copied code might fall under fair use, as Oracle recently discovered ;)

One thing you might want to explore is volunteering for a cause or organization you care about. You'll meet others who share some of your deepest values, and it can get you experience and lead to opportunities to work for pay on things you care about with people that you like.

No guarantees, of course, but it can at least be fulfilling in ways that ordinary mercenary work isn't.

Then comes the political reality where one party will propose enough money for all that, then it gets wheedled down to half, then half of that goes to pork and then a half of the remainder is overhead, so consultants get that 1/8 to draw up an estimate and the budget's gone

I had a product idea, my company didn’t want to do it, so I took off 9 months to create it. I am an engineer and had no real sales or marketing plan, just software. I was scratching a really bad itch.

I connected with a startup with a complementary product, and we had some success before the company was acquired in late dotcom madness.
The worst that could happen is that someone isn't informed about a newer version, or the software attempts to download a newer version and receives a 404 instead. They're storing numbers, not URLs.
Dunno, I thought you were refering to Godel's theorem.
Yeah, rolling stock is old.
Also, in Germany the DB Class 120 locos (the first series-production 3-phase inverter electric locos) were retired between 2016 and 2020 (build during the 80's).

Even the older non-inverter locos here use electro-dynamic brakes (afaik for economic/control reasons, as they are better than air for keeping speed during downhill sections under control), and the remaining ones will retire soon.

The screw and hook/buffers issue is more due to the distributed ownership of the freight cars, and early issues with certification of adapters between UIC central couplers and screw+hook/buffers.

Sure, there are situations where it's too steep to only brake the loco, but they aren't that common and adding some induction brakes to some of the heavier cars and preferentially using them shouldn't be particularly expensive. Sure, not cheap, but also not prohibitive for getting rid of friction breaks in the course of normal operation (well, some friction breaking may be needed from time to time to keep them in check and verify proper function.... but still a >90% reduction shouldn't be hard.
I also speak from experience, from an organization that has had a lot of success with kubernetes. Perhaps we're in the sweet spot where our workload is suited for it but there still isn't a huge amount of complexity in maintaining it.
Looks great, please include Canada :)
"Politics as in scheming for power are a total turn off for me."

Most people don't actually scheme for power in an organization. Not directly, anyway. Most people who appear to do that are coming from the perspective of "my (and my team's) needs are the most important here for the business' success"; the purpose isn't actually power, but to get their perceived needs met.

Playing politics, then, is being able to understand those needs, how they interplay and interfere with your own, and how to participate in a way that gets people agreeing on how to move forward, while feeling their needs are met. It is, in fact, exactly what you say of "working well with others". The difference is can you work well with people whose perceptions and needs are completely different than yours (but who are still pushing for what they feel to be the best thing for the company)?

Those few who are just trying to get ahead, without actually advancing the needs of their team are indeed a cancer, and -no one- wants them. Some orgs may not know how to recognize it or to get rid of such people though (or have perverse incentives to encourage such behavior). But their incentive isn't that different; they're still looking to meet their own needs, but it's -their own- needs, rather than that of benefit to the business. I.e., "I want to be perceived as the source of success so that I get promoted, even if that robs my team of recognition" rather than "I want to make sure my team's success is recognized and compensated, so that our morale and performance can stay high, and so the org will trust us with greater responsibility".
I’m almost 40 and I’ve never held a job for more than 4 years. They were good jobs too, but after a while I get tired of it or bored and I need to find something else. I know tons of people that “found their passion” and knew exactly what they wanted to do when they were in school. I never had a passion for anything… I need to constantly change what I am doing. The only difference is that I stuck to the same industry, that way I can build experience and so the next job is a bit better.

If the job is not fun, try finding a hobby that is!
> best not mentioned to novice developers

I see elitarism here. Novice developers are perfectly capable to understand anything. Many of them better than many older developers who (let's admit it) are often not able to comprehend the reasons for modern features and idioms. Many of old developers still think in 30 years old stereotypes like "malloc is expensive" or "safe languages are needed only to bad programmers".

There were reasons why features were developed. One may ban certain features in their project, that's fine. But both VLA and setjump/longjump have their applications.
I took a long time figuring out what I wanted to do, and I found the following books useful:
“What color is your parachute?” by richard bolles
“What should I do with my life?” by Po Bronson (who also had trouble deciding what he wanted to do…)
“The seven habits of highly effective people” by Steven Covey - the title made me cringe but a friend recommended it to me and I found it very useful
YMMV
You can find plenty of complaints online about software which gathers data from its users too. Putting telemetry in your software doesn’t stop people from complaining about it.
If every (normal) day you discharge less than you charge, you can build up a reserve for unusual events. When you get close to your storage limit, you can sell power from out of that reserve during periods of peak usage/price, when your solar array is running at capacity.

So, more storage is better.
> What "window of opportunity"?

The window of opportunity to use your old keys (with old coins) to create a malicious chain.

> If you have the ability to mint blocks, you can use include signed transactions from the real chain to unstake and build majority on nodes you control.

If the attacker is building their own chain, no one else will be building on top of it. Anyone will see that the chain has very few coins actively minting and will be immediately suspect, even if they're eclipsed. If they're not eclipsed, they'll go with the honest chain, which would be clearly longer unless this was a 51% attack situation.

>I would discourage you from responding on this topic

If you're going to be rude, I'm just going to ignore you. Its pretty insulting to tell me that. I've written two different consensus protocols, and analysed the security properties of many more. I very much doubt you've put anywhere near as much work into understanding the attacks and solutions around consensus protocols. So please don't be pompous.
You might be surprised to find that Windows has a similar problem to X11 - any GUI window can send messages to any other GUI window, and on consumer versions of windows you can't use multiple simultaneous user sessions to separate different applications.

https://invisiblethingslab.com/resources/2014/A%20crack%20on...

It's true that windows has way more mitigation technologies, and X11 is more laissez-faire. But if you don't run untrusted or crappy software, linux can be pretty damn good. You just don't really know how crappy all the components of windows really are, or which mitigations are really useful or really working correctly, and in software with that much complexity there's always some stuff that isn't really working and nobody notices. In linux, if you really care, you can trim down to a very minimal curated setup, and that's really the only way to know what's really going on in your computer.
Your comment in no way addresses OP's point. Centuries of tradition are nothing against a new milliseconds of Newtonian mechanics, sorry.

Why couldn't a turban have a chin strap?
I'm surprised to see your comment down-voted. I think that you precisely summarized the problem. Applying population statistics to individuals is problematic.

However to expand on that I think it is primarily a problem with point statistics. If a Bayesian philosophy was followed, it's about looking at the plausibility of the entire space and realizing an individual can fall anywhere with a non-zero plausibility (or even in some cases an individual can even fall into an area of 0 plausibility given that it is a model and not reality).
