I am only interested in a niche compiled-to-<C/C++/JS> language due to the capability/speed while keeping readability. With that in mind, I wonder if Python’s JIT and no-GIL update will slow or reverse the stated trend (assuming it’s true at all).
Though it’s still an issue with bindings for something I can already use with my preferred lang, so is one reason why I haven’t tried it.
Also for most instruments, the ability to practice without bothering others.
Though honestly never having the option to even try many instruments is probably why many people don’t play an instrument. Digital is completely open, though I’d also say composing music is different than performing it.
Add restrictions to time/energy/mood, learning resources being paywalled, music theory being daunting, personal difficulties with certain instruments etc.
Never had one but have family who has their VR headsets and aren’t really using them, borderline useless if you aren’t willing to use their ecosystem. They were having some trouble with their accounts (probably related to account migrations) and seemed too unsettled by the paper wall of text about being part of an organization to unlock dev mode.
It’s only a guarantee if you’ve got lawyer friends or the money to hire a pro. But then how does that benefit unemployed felons?
The guy I quoted is the co-founder of a non-profit.

During pre-release, FFRP participants gain important information and resources needed for successful career planning. During post-release, FFRP participants receive critical job coaching, on-the-job training, paid work opportunities, and ongoing professional development. FFRP strives to ensure formerly incarcerated firefighters have the support needed to find long-term career success once released from state correctional Conservation Camps.

In addition, the nonprofit works with other partners to help participants navigate the court system. In 2020, California passed a law that allows formerly incarcerated firefighters to petition the courts to expunge their convictions upon release. If they win approval, they don’t have to wait until their parole ends to apply for jobs within municipal and county fire departments or to pursue the EMT credentials required of most full-time, higher-paying firefighting positions.
With the help of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, the fire recruitment program has successfully filed 38 petitions, 12 of which have been granted so far, and 21 of which are pending.
(from 2022)
Although my “not a guarantee” was with the context of a federal judge pushing back.
I was going off of this:
RAMEY: We focus on the expungement process. So Gavin Newsom passed a law - I think about four years ago now - and what it pretty much does is help people that come out of, like, California Conservation Camps - being able to get their record expunged, which is amazing because it provides an opportunity where folks can, you know, apply to not only just fire careers, but, like, you know, they can have a brand-new life.
But you’re right, I guess expungement is not a guarantee but it is something.
And I did say
The alternative is dystopic again
Under most circumstances this seems like one of the less dystopian options*… because at least on the surface, this is a genuine everybody-problem and not something that drives profit.
Particularly if this actually gives them a career post-release, which seems to be the case in California for at least 4 years now. The alternative is dystopic again.
If this response is more pressured just because of where/who it effects, I could see that being an issue too. The context already dystopic though… like aside from the long-term heat and drought that will continue to be ignored, there was also the profit-over-safety of the PG&E hooks (from another article: PG&E knew old power line parts had ‘severe wear’ months before deadly Camp Fire).
*= Which is probably saying a lot, given that it involves an inferno. And yeah that pay is not great, but what they’re being charged daily is likely even worse.
Depends on how low your expectations are:
Granted it’s 7:30am, legally distinct, and I believe them bones are me.
I’d probably do a genre mix (3rd-person, themed boomer shooter?) if I had that capability, but I would probably struggle with with maps, writing, and just scope in general.

Healthcare plans are on a yearly schedule. So if you hit your max OoP very late in the year (like now), on Jan 1st it will reset back to 0 and now you need to fill your perhaps $3K deductible again for ongoing treatment.
If the diagnosis and start of the bills was recent, it’d mean doubling it as soon as the next year rolls around.
Seems a bit odd to have so much standard, correct-era tech. Having anachronism seems like the point, the futurism bit. Like Quadrilateral Cowboy, or often Cowboy Bebop.
The one exception may be the stuff like that Nissan 300ZX (1985) digital dashboard, that feels anachronistic in an entirely different way. I could imagine a 3hr video essay on how expensive the design was, or perhaps a Technology Connections breakdown of the functionality/workings/issues etc.
