If your objective is to get a gentile introduction to assembly, with no practical use: PDP-11 (on a simulator) or Motorola 68K. Both are very simple and straight forward. As opposed to many others that seem to live on confusion.
To aid in learning, you can always write in C and then output in assembly. Typically you would turn off optimization. The optimizer will often scramble the results to make it better but harder to read.
Have you thought about the class NAND to Tetris? It builds a tetris game but starts and the gate level.
Haha ymmd ;)
Yeah, I thought it might either have been a misclick OR wrong information on my side (IF there is something wrong with it, I'd still like to know what...)
Yes I have that often with gardening tips. A summary of the video, with proper key points would save me a crap load of time. I would happily pay $5 a year. Now dont raise the rates because I am excited, just let me know when it is ready.
You need a PLAN. You probably need a Mentor or a group of friends to talk this out with.
Questions you need to answer before quitting:
1) is there anything they can do to keep you - you need to be prepared to answer this, not emotionally but with logic and your sanity in mind
2) is your resume ready? If not when will it be ready.
3) how do you answer the question: Why did you leave? The simple answer of 'They were toxic' sounds too much like BS. It could be interpreted as you are toxic and not willing to see your own problems.
4) are you able to spend 6 months to a year unemployed? Can you cover all expenses. Including medical.
5) if you are out of work long term, how do you explain what you have been doing? Best answers are: learning new stuff (with details, possibly a degree), volunteering. Worst answers: finding yourself, just relaxing, doom scrolling youtube.
6) if you have unemployed friends, set up a group. See question here where someone was asking how to handle long term unemployment.
7) What are your criteria for the next job. Clearly not toxic but how are you going to ensure that does not happen. Prioritize your list. Having wants is fine. Having absolutes is fine. Knowing the difference is critical. For me, not moving was an absolute until I had been out for 6 months... then I found a job :-)
Being out of work is very stressful. It is important to keep up your emotions.
1) Set up a schedule. Do not doom scroll jobs. Limit searching to 2 to 3 hours MAX a day.
2) Get exercise. A regular scheduled DAILY is best.
3) Study / learn something. Ideally have a theme or plan. It is useful for the interview question of 'So what have you been doing the last 6 months'. Yes looking for a job, but they want to hear you are doing something.
4) Reach out to see if there are job hunting club in your area. They could help identify something you might be doing wrong. 'Well I think a hawaiian shirt is my favorite' :)
4 b) if you know others looking, set up a weekly meeting to encourage each other and provide a sense of stability.
5) Join toastmasters. Trust me on this, it will help immensely in the interview.
6) Make an itemized list of what your job requirements are. What are you not willing to compromise on.
6 b) after 3 months, look at that list and decide what needs to go. It broke my heart to move, but it was what I had to do.
7) Volunteer. Preferably in person as it is a GREAT way to network. If you are a techie, you could do some opensource project, but volunteering still in person is much better.
I am selective in what I grab. When I see something, I run through a list of end destinations: My desk, my home, my wife, my kids, neighbor kids. Otherwise pass. Well unless its a bottle of water. But I do like toys I can use to relax my brain at work.
Not knowing your profession, although we know you are not a developer, but you could be an AI professor, it is hard to answer the second part of your question.
For the first part, consider this the Smart Phone of this age. You will need to know and understand how to prompt the AI. You will need to be comfortable with it. If not expect to be asking your children to help you do it as they will grow up with it and be very familiar.
