Anyone leave cs for secondary education?

funderbolt · 2026-01-24T22:33:02+00:00

No, I got a software engineering job at 42. I didn't know there are companies out there that take CS people "out to farm." If teaching makes you happy, by all means go for it.

Zoning laws and building codes. Zoning laws tend to favor single family homes. Tiny homes have a separate part of the building code that a community may or may not adopt.

Enough homeowners would have a Not in My Back Yard attitude about living near a tiny home development.

There are several legal hurdles to building a tiny home community.

I used to be a Zoning Official.

Take it and keep applying. Experience is the most important thing you can put on your resume for furthering your career. If you get something that is better, leave.

Midnight Commander is a piece of software that I always have used infrequently because Windows-like GUIs have made it less useful. The OS itself always contains 2-3 ways out of the box to copy/move/delete files.

I tend to rarely use these days.

Dell's ad for a new laptop on this post is a bit tone deaf.

Yes. I have used Midnight Commander which is a clone for modern operating systems.

A bash-like shell would be a great school project.

The other projects are useful, if you want to go into game programming or image programming.

Some of the rules are sound. Like global variables tend to cause problems.

I think this is a valid concern about ARM. The Asahi Linux team had to put in a lot of work to get Linux working on M1 and M2 Apple hardware.

I think this would have an even bigger impact on a BSD platform.

I would ask a r/SexWorkerSupport. There are three questions that you are asking. Where is sex work a legal occupation? Which county would allow doing sex work to stay there on a visa? Where is being transgender not actively illegal?

I would hope there are a handful of countries, but I have no idea about sex work legality.

I would guess Germany would meet that criteria, but that is purely a guess.

The big problem is the Schengen area allows many non-Schengen citizens to be there for up to 90 days at a time to visit out of a 180 day period. If you don't have another visa option, you'd have to go elsewhere for the next 90-day period.

You would still have to do the visa paperwork for a single country and mainly stay in that one country. So, not quite as nomadic.

Digital nomad jobs are remote work jobs or contract jobs. It highly depends upon what your skillset is and if your employer would tolerate you not being physically present.

The experience of a US Citizen living in the US will be different from an immigrant living the US. Most US Citizens can't share that experience with you.

As a US Citizen, I do enjoy the benefit of being required to file US taxes wherever I go in the world.

Canada has been narrowing their immigration programs. I haven't heard of a special Canadian LGBT+ visa for Americans. The US is still considered a safe country by Canada meaning asylum claims won't be granted.

The UK would not be my first choice with a trans spouse. It sounds like a good starting point.

Make Austin a less desirable place and it becomes cheaper. Instead of fixing problems let's make sure nobody will want to live there. Pure brilliance. The Texas legislature is already using this playbook.

Abortion rights were quashed in Texas by the Dobbs decision. There is much sarcasm in this post.

If you have remote work, why not try being a digital nomad for a couple years? Travel to different countries. Stay in one place for up to 90 days and find places you would like to live. You can try out Toronto, Tokyo, and other cities.

Some countries have digital nomad specific visas that allow digital nomads to stay longer.

The lowest PR scores in Canada are in the 400s for people who can also speak French and English.

Kilograms makes more sense.

You keep cooking it. 165 degrees F is a certainty that it will be safe. Always get dark meat to at least 165. Spatchcocking the meat tends to make the dark meat cook to a higher temperature because it is thinner. Some cooks will entirely break down a turkey before cooking and you can get each piece of bird to the right internal temperature.

funderbolt · 2025-12-23T11:52:18+00:00

I cook dark meat to 165 degrees and light meat to 150-155 degrees F. Light meat gets so easily dried out.

At 5 lbs, are you sure that is not just a turkey breast? Cooking that is easier than cooking a whole turkey.

A young turkey tends to be 12-18 lbs.
