> Does the radio sync work for you? I have a 15 year old G-shock watch and the sync stopped working for me years ago

The radio-sync may have stopped working due to simple geographic limitations? Where I live, I'm on the edge of the Berlin radio-signal, and I find it sometimes fails (atmospheric conditions?), but then you can always try apps that synchronize with a sound signal.

I actually have no idea how, but they do actually work! I've used one called Clock Wave from the Apple appstore[0], and it has worked flawlessly.

I'm totally loving my G-Shock. Mine is also solar-powered - which is such a liberating feeling. And includes a barometer, thermometer, compass and altimeter (the altimeter is pretty useless unless barometer-pressure is constant, though - but it's incredibly accurate for elevations of short duration).

I was using my iPhone as my watch for a while, but each time I took it out of my pocket to check the time, I'd get distracted and drawn into some meaningless cellphone activity. Now I check air-pressure and where North is instead :)

Your experience of "interrogation school" (presumably as some part of law-enforcement job training?) sounds very positive and enlightened compared with the cliché depiction of aggressive leading questions we often see in films and TV. Unfortunately an encounter I once had with a drunk, off-duty police officer in the UK, who was absolutely determined to convince me I had committed an act of petty theft, and use that as grounds to start a physical fight, did suggest to me that his regular MO was much closer to the typical media portrayal of police interrogations as forcefully pursuing a conclusion that he had already leapt to without much evidence. I would like to think charitably that he was living out some "TV cop" fantasy in his spare time because he was forced to be so thorough and thoughtful in his everyday work; but I find that very hard to believe.
Forget about the 10k myth. I think it's absolutely feasible to switch careers at your age, and I assume it's software development you're thinking of. I think half a year to a year of intense study and practice should be enough to make you employable.

But first, figure out if this is something you would like doing. Take a course like e.g. this https://www.coursera.org/learn/python for a month (you can audit it for free) and see if you actually like programming. If you do, carry on.
Onboarding Love is a drop from Marbleflows, an onboarding platform, that covers the first user experience and onboarding from the best software companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Webflow, Slack, Canva, and dozens more.

The user journeys are documented as screenshots and are available for free. Included are pre-built templates that replicate said user journeys in the Marbleflows platform.

Marbleflows makes it dead simple to create flows for user onboarding and other use cases.
I’d love to hear more about this switch as a family member is considering something similar as a 42 y/o.

If you don’t mind, was it long ago that you made this switch? Was there anything that you’d do differently in retrospect?

The big one I guess: do you feel that not having gone the “traditional” route made it more difficult to find roles in the early days?

Feel free not to answer if too invasive but I’d find any info really helpful.

100s? Try thousands of applicants. Multiple landlords have indicated that they get 1000s of applications in hours/minutes after posting an ad. The situation is dire and the government is doing nothing about it, even on land that they have the power to build on. The green party is famous for blocking any and all housing projects, the left and right both agree that people don't deserve affordable housing.
Are you switching jobs to something completely different, where absolutely none of your current skills are transferrable? Given your age, that seems unlikely, as you've probably chalked up a fair amount of experience in various areas.
You don't even really need to rein it back, modern processors will throttle back automatically depending on how effective the cooling is. Anyway, the issue with manual undervolting is that it may adversely impact reliability if you ended up with a slightly substandard chip, that will still work fine at stock settings. That's why it can't just be a default.

I think you first need to be honest with yourself about a few things, at least these:

A) What does being a master really means to me? Others respect? Peer recognition? Work autonomy?
B) Am I willing to change careers knowing I will never be a master in it?
C) Does the trade-off of changing from a career that I master to a career that I will never master worth it?

In your question there's already an implied NO, do not change, because being a master seems important to you.

Regarding mastery, it's always difficult to achieve it, starting at 20 years old or starting at 50 years old. Most people don't achieve it, they just feel comfortable after a while.

How does this scale with the need to update data with time, corrections etc? Having to download everything again doesn't seem that elegant. I think this wold benefit a lot from some form of incremental backup support, that is, download only what was changed since last time. A possible implementation of that could be a bittorrent distributed git-like mirror so that everyone could maintain their local synced one and be able to create its snapshot on removable media on the fly.

ONVIF support is surprisingly spotty on low-end (<$100) IP cameras, especially wifi ones. Even if a camera claims to be ONVIF compatible, you should really check for a certification at [0].

Even for RTSP, there's often something stupid like the camera implementing 90% of the protocol except it never responds to OPTIONS requests.

And fun fact, VLC no longer supports RTSP on Debian-based distros due to licensing issues [1].

After reviving a PC i had in the late 90s a couple of weeks ago i investigated this big box of CD-Rs standing besides it (in an unisolated attic in germany... so temperatures from about -5 °C to >35 °C), most of the CDs were burnt in a period from around '96 - 2005, many ... ehm... "off site backups" of games and other software but also personal files.

What can i say... every CD i put in the drive worked flawlessly. I think it sometimes comes down to pure dumb luck.
> The 10000 hour rule is nonsense

Even if there is some merit to the "rule", the intent behind it is you'll master something in that amount of time. You can become good at something with far less time. You just need to be good to earn a living. I think of all the jobs I've worked and the slackers and incompetence I've seen. I think with some education about a job and decent intelligence most people can put in the effort, learn on the job and become good - if they want to.

10k hours is roughly 5 working years of experience with no nights+weekends extra time so if OP switches careers now, they could be mastering something by the time they're 48. I've seen people switch careers into software, and go from junior to mid level up to senior in that time.

Do it.

> I'll never catch up to people that started in their early 20s, but I hope I can figure out how to climb the ladde as quickly as possible.

I programmed from been a kid in the 80's, I truly loved it (still do) but I didn't start my full time career in programming til I was nearly 30 (I trained as an industrial electrician because I didn't think I was smart enough to be a software engineer - crippling self confidence issues and a horrific upbringing - ended up working minimum wage),

I shot up the ladder and in my early 40's I'm exactly where I would have been had I started at 21 - the later start and working different jobs in difference industries gave me a soft-skillset I wouldn't have otherwise gotten.

So while you are starting a few years after me its well within the realms of possibility if you get the right breaks.

Good Luck!.
I built a house like this in US. The company is called Bensonwood / Unity up here in NH. It is not cheaper but it is faster and higher quality. From slab to dried in house in 4 days. Passive house level airtightness and insulation.

Wall assembly is zip->10 inch blown in insulation around 10inch I-Joist -> OSB -> 2x3 interior wall studs to hang your sheetrock off of and run utilities. (All pre-drilled for faster running of pex and conduit.)

You do have to do all the interior work after, though.
You thought right, but the people affected were using a centralized financial institution called Celsius, which collected their PII and held custody of their crypto and fiat. They leaked (actually the court) this information, not a blockchain or a specific cryptocurrency network.

You cannot expect privacy with cryptocurrencies when you renounce to it voluntarily by doing this.

In addition leaks of this kind when it comes to credit card numbers and other sensitive financial information are not very rare unfortunately, hopefully you express the same concern when it happens to millions of people every year.
Why would they, zuck just made a big show of ordering everyone back to the office. If you're in the office, you just book a meeting.
It's only real use is legacy systems. I have dabbled a bit with eComStation in the early aughts and even then it was already obsolete compared to Windows 2000 and later XP.

Only IBM has the full source code (and obviously they don't care much about OS/2), so the only changes made for the last ~20 years are binary patches, third-party drivers, and extensions. It's a 32-bit operating system and will never transition to 64-bit.

OS/2 now probably full of hundreds of well-known CVEs. So, any machine used out in the wild is trivially exploitable.
I believe in talent to a limited degree. It governs the floor, ceiling and learning curve's slope. Kind of like the parameters to a sigmoid function. Magnus Carlsen's very first chess match was likely much better than most other people's/kids', he learned at a breakneck pace and obviously, possesses a high skill ceiling.

However, there is a huge and dynamic middle ground that can be conquered by anyone through nothing but work and dedication.

No, the definition of veganism clearly states:

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable"

The important part being "as far as is practicable". Nobody is a perfect vegan, as that is close to impossible, but you can get very close and prevent a lot of unnecessary suffering and lower your carbon footprint.
Exactly. People actually argue against increasing housing stock, or building new apartment. They say only new luxury apartments are being built. What do they want, that the builders build old rickety apartments with standards from the 1960s? Any apartment with decent construction is lambasted as being luxury, when a large part of the standards comes from the government itself - they would not give a permit for an apartment to be constructed to 1960 standards in terms of energy efficiency and insulation, windows etc.

When the government is extremely picky about how many permits to give, it is no surprise that only expensive apartments are built first.
LibreOffice as well and it's a joy to use because they tend to be very fast downloads.
I should start out by saying this is a delightfully well-written post despite the serious subject matter, nice ;)

I think you're giving mid-century Americans too much credit. I think they were widely ignorant of Black history and racial issues and really had no concept of institutional racism--of which the War on Drugs was certainly a scion. Crime--and let's consider all its racializations--was also pretty bad, and voters across races and political lines are generally in favor of full on human rights violations to get it under control [0].

Off topic but I've always thought of grounding as conceptually making the entire earth a part of the circuit and so dispersing the energy over a very large area.

Is that conceptualisation correct?

What happens is you have say a conductive (iron rich) top layer. Is there still the potential to dangerously energise the ground? I assume so because that's basically what water and electricity does?

This is the most important things regardless of 10kh and how someone gets there. If someone doesn't enjoy what they are doing, they won't practice and they won't get better.
As someone who used to work there, I would be significantly more afraid.

VR there has never been exclusively about gaming nor has gaming been the overall goal of VR since their acquisition. The way they talked about it back in the day was, if I recall accurately, that they were focused on three pillars: "The metaverse", "The overlay", and "The future of work". Social presence, real-life AR metadata, and expanding the screens and capabilities of working professionals, respectively.

The direction of their research and implementation has, at least to my knowledge, been oriented literally towards creating a new category of general purpose productivity devices and admitting as much in a very public blog post is a pretty big own-goal if the idea is to try to avoid the subpoena by distinguishing yourselves (assuming you're speaking on behalf of SimulaVR).

I would redo all of my time in high school. Personal and academic. Not getting the grades I needed in math then stopped me from being able to pursue a CS degree in post-secondary. And that meant spinning my wheels running uphill in my career for a long time trying to get employers to consider me. It still affects me, 20+ years into my career.

And I made 'choices' (are adolescents truly making choices?) in my personal relationships and actions at the time that I think were selfish and at times unethical that I wish I could go back and change.

Amazing that we let these years be such a critical fulcrum for individual's lives even though most adolescents are not at all ready to make the important decisions and sacrifices.

My only regret is I never cared to exercise physically. I hate exercising with passion but I probably would be terrifically fit and flexible if I had been putting just some very-very small but systematic effort throughout my whole life.

Many people here are saying the "10,000 hours rule" is a myth, and while I wouldn't disagree with them it's a little more nuanced than that. Gladwell is a populariser, and simplified the research of Anders Ericsson [1] into a catchy soundbite.

Ericsson describes "deliberate practice". That is, to become an expert you must "work on high specific tasks assigned to overcome weaknesses, and you would have your performance monitored carefully for further improvement" [2]

I don't think it's that simple. These circuits are already a thing in the form of solar powered security lights, and shed lighting kits.

I suspect the dividing line is voltage? >50v systems in cars are treated differently, so maybe the same for houses, you probably don't need that much for lighting anyway.
Numerical errors have the annoying tendency to accumulate if you're not careful. So doing one matrix operation with low precision might be okay, while doing a dozen might completely garble your result.

Unless I’m missing something, the article did mention Moore’s law proper with transistor density doubling every 18 months, but then meandered to talk about other things. M1 has 16 billion transistors thanks to TSMC. Each new node has delivered on Moore’s law with AMD and Apple. I don’t doubt that Moore’s law will stop. I can even say that it Moore’s law may have failed from time to time, but the spirit of the law lives.

Moving to chiplets doesn’t change transistor density. This is a packaging feature and not a fabrication feature. This is done for manufacturing cost reduction and yield improvements.
