I visited Chernobyl and Pripyat right before the first COVID19 breakout. Little did I know that Ukraine would be invaded at that time. I'm happy I got the opportunity and did it. The excursion was very interesting and thought provoking.

Does this mean that they already are able to crack 256 bit encryption?

Timely. Great product that tracks what you are doing on your computer and automatically suggests billing rows for you. The company has a strong focus on privacy and is developed in Norway, which has fairly good privacy laws.

Moving closer to family so I need to change job. Applied to quite a few programming jobs in the nearby city. After probably 10-15 unsuccessful technical interviews with leetcode I've decided to go back to IT.
Now that I have kids and a house I don't want to spend hundreds of hours to learn this completely separate skill (leetcode) that I rarely if ever will get to use in my job and get no joy from.

I quit programming after 3 years because I can't stand the leetcode interviews which all programming jobs suddenly require in my area.

As many have argued before me. Bitcoin will probably not be useful as a every day currency, but more useful as a store of value and long term investment. There are other cryptocurrencies that are faster, have lower transaction fees, provide anonymity and are just as easy to use.

I thought our octa core 3 GHz mobile processors would be able to handle a little bit of javascript once in a while.
