If anyone sees this and wants a much more accessible intro to how CPUs work, I would strongly recommend "NAND2TETRIS"

What an amazing impact this man has had. He seems like a great guy too. I don't know him at all personally but his replies online have always been so nice. I really wish him all the best with whatever he does with his time next

I'm pretty sure they have a matching number of positives and negatives.
Very droll

I have just started sailing in the UK. I can't recommend it enough. It's great time away from the computer in nature but still doing really complex technical tasks. The best thing imho is to find and join a local club. There are many that aren't snooty (having Commodores etc) and it's pretty affordable. Members will always be looking for crew. I really wish I had done it sooner.
I should say -- better in my experience to find a community run organisation run by its members than a commercial operation in my experience. A lot of clubs run on the enthusiasm of their members and this means lower prices and more opportunities to get involved

I know nothing about sailing. I've been on a few sailboats. I love the idea of wind power - probably why I like flying remote control sailplanes.
I would love to volunteer on someone's race/sail boat to get some experience. I'm happy to take the ASA introductory course or ? course.
Any advice on how to move forward? I'm in the Seattle area.

Hopefully this gets appealed, but it might be too late for this product launch
