Friend of mine did a bootcamp recently, and had three offers two weeks after finishing. It was pretty intense at 6 days a week 10h each. They seemed to cover a lot of ground. There are bootcamp comparison sites that show how the people landed after a few month.
The market is pretty hot right now which seems to translate into easier entry for new people, which was usually the hardest part.
"Made in Germany" was introduced to mark it as an inferior foreign product and became later a sign of quality.So China may be following in Germany's footsteps.
The articles alludes to it at the end: the "corpus" of scanned books is incredibly valuable to a big data company like google and gives them a real edge against other companies.
I used handmade cards and it made all the difference. A good foundation was necesarry for me to make things click.
I tried anki later on, but it was too cumbersome to create and work with digital cards for me.

They also made it harder to use portable mp3 players. The first ones could be used as a simple usb drive. Try putting some music or anything else on an iphone today without installing app.
Are there any Distros that can be installed persistent to a USB on Windows, that boot UEFI?
I formerly used Puppy Linux, but the UEFI installation didn't work with Rufus.
I used tried most file sync app extensively (Dropbox, Onedrive, Google drive, Box, copy).
While Dropbox is not perfect (had a crashing bug for a month), it has the best client on all major systems that I use (Windows, Linux, IOS) and is constantly innovating. The automatically installed "sharing Icon" (round thing in word) was an intrusion I didn't like. Some people thought it's a virus.
My university has "unlimited" google drive space, but it is a sad joke. While it is fine for a few google sheets/doc, it can't handle a few GB reliably.
The client itself crashes on three different windows versions constantly and is a MAJOR resource hog. Google itself states it is not made to handle things like backups. Some of my folders are not synced correctly, don't know what is going on there. Once it followed a link to a network drive and started copying everything from there to the hard drive until it was full, that was fun.
It is also not possible to unsync subfolders (if the app ever loads all folers), which is ridiculous, because my hardrive is not "unlimited" and now I have to make different first level folder for everything that I don't want on my laptop. Talk about usability.
OneDrive is an okay user experience on windows. They tried to partially sync but show all files, which definitely causes confusion. At least they try to innovate here. When they cut down the free tier I moved, because it is not as good as the Dropbox client. It also does some things with synced word files, which I don't fully understand and to be honest my trust is just gone after the privacy turd of Windows 10 (which I use and find OK otherwise).
Copy.com was very promising but was shut down for small time users.
I used Box.com only shortly, wasn't even close to Dropbox at that time. Probably still doesn't have a Linux client.
TLDR: I started paying for Dropbox and am rather happy. Small innovations like the scanning features eliminate friction even more, so they are working on things that I actually use. Dropbox is miles ahead of its competition.
A lot of groups have a journal club/ article aggregator. Try to start one with your colleagues if there is none.
Google scholar alerts are also a good option if your field has nice keywords.
IT is actually possible to build a very simple pedal yourself. You can tape two tinfoil "electrodes" on cardboard and fold it so that they touch when it's completely folded. Then also put some sponge between the folded cardboard so that it releases reliably. If you connect a mono audio cable to the electrodes you have a working pedal. This worked in a pinch for an electronic drum set and it is also much quieter than a real pedal.
