Is the Secure Boot shim thing related to Windows breaking dual-boot setups of late? Are they all updating to avoid some kind of Secure Boot issue in general?

I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.

I found it completely by accident. Was looking at their GitHub repos for something, and saw this in there. I might even try to go through some of it (though I also want to get better at Nim).

 

If you look up my username on LinkedIn, you can get a good summary of my career. Most of my jobs have been go in, fix things, then on to the next thing; though the immediate COVID period was pretty bumpy in that regard (shorter-term gigs). I'm pretty sure I need another cert or two at this point, but have had some family issues distracting me the past few months from studying/focusing on what's next. I'm also working three different things right now (1 5-10hr/wk PT job + 2 intermittent gigs). I can't remember the job market being this bad or picky in my life; and I actively wonder how I'd be able to leave the field entirely. It feels like everyone wants a unicorn on the cheap these days.

Something with a "solid" 10-15/hrs a week would be an improvement over what I have going on right now; let alone full-time work. How do I even find such a thing on LinkedIn/Indeed/whatnot? Reddit's gotten me at least two jobs in the past, but the state of things there seems to be less promising these days. I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone else is in a similar situation, and how they're managing.

Thank you.

 

Saw this on Hacker News; it's an ongoing compendium of classic BASIC games, rewritten in up to 10 accepted programming languages; as well as space for "alternative" languages.

 

I wrote this in Fall/Winter 2022/23 and got some use out of it for my own data archives. Haven't done much else with it since, but would be willing to add/revise some features on it, if there's interest.
