Voice recognition tool that toggles audio triggers to be used by Parkinson's patient for improved mobility.

And reading statistics in my free time.

you might enjoy reading "tribe", "braiding sweet grass", "The dawn of everything", and "The new trail of tears"

they have very helpful history in understanding how poverty is manufactured, within the context of colonial capitalism.

"listening in the ocean" by lammers can give you a resource for applications of audio programming. it's all about marine acoustics

I'm very slow to read text, but audiobooks and podcasts have completely consumed my free time.

honestly, I've done this several times. if you have the money to go half a year without trouble, and your career has been good so far, you can probably do fine. It is extremely hard to juggle working while interviewing. I've only done it a couple times, but it really meant waking up at 5:00 in the morning so I could get interviews done before my day started. if you're honest about why you left a job, it doesn't seem like people really care. also you have to stay active in work while you were not employed. have a project you want to work on, or a thing you want to learn, now is the time. People love to see that

ballistic routing was my strategy. ballistic routing is the technique of setting a goal post that feels unrealistic, moving as quickly as you can towards it, but accepting any distractions that come along. once you get bored of your distraction adopt your old or a new goalpost.

I originally got into programming because of an interest in computer animations. using computers more got me interested in security. when I got to school my new goalpost was cryptography. My first job out of school was developing a password key manager. The interest in cryptography and experience in security landed me a job at a company that did that work, but my position was in machine learning and programming languages. Because of some of the ML applications I got to see the new goal was to get into environmental studies, graduate school allowed me to explore computational models for light pollution and cetacean vocalizations. I did this concurrently as a data engineer for a neuro imaging lab datapipelines and interest in cetaceans give me a brief run as a web developer for animal tracking site. This cumulated in pushing me towards data science. now I work in machine learning for computer security.

yes, but without a universal health care in my country I do not see it as realistic. Too many people in my family have had health problems. There is no sufficient safety net to support innovation in America.

The idea that even healthcare being passed could be thrown out as soon as there is a leadership change, means that this would need to sustain itself through a racing change prior to me seeing it as realistic.

I could see finishing out a political term, if these laws were passed sufficiently early
