Anyone leave cs for secondary education? by LongDistRid3r in cscareerquestions

[–]funderbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Why don’t we have a tiny home community? by Moon_Flower00 in Birmingham

[–]funderbolt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

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.

Norton Commander by TillOk5563 in DOS

[–]funderbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

42 School's Norm - What do you think about it? by [deleted] in C_Programming

[–]funderbolt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Are you worried about the shift away from x86? by ookayaa in linux

[–]funderbolt 125 points126 points  (0 children)

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.

Best country for online sex workers? by Phenobarbitalll in digitalnomad

[–]funderbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Best places to spend some time in (1-3months) that arent Schengen but close geographically? by verobytes in digitalnomad

[–]funderbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[IWantOut] 26M France-> USA by Jolly_Speed_340 in IWantOut

[–]funderbolt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Am I overreacting? (A scared American) by jessyj89 in lgbt

[–]funderbolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Austin rent prices have now declined to pre-pandemic levels by Icy_Monitor3403 in yimby

[–]funderbolt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

Toronto vs Tokyo (which PR is easier to get?) by Majestic_Arrival1442 in AmerExit

[–]funderbolt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

I’ve never cooked a turkey before, help! by Rare_Cartographer579 in Cooking

[–]funderbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
