Meh! We only need it for like 2-4 weeks a year, a fan works adequately. The nine months around that we need heating, which every home has.

Being a CTO was so boring...
The best way to learn is to move straight over tabs and onto to score, while playing scales and arpeggios to learn the fingerings. This will give you access to a lot more music options! (There is a TON of sheet for Trombone and Clarinet!)
The next thing to recommend is learning to transpose keys. This isn't as hard or daunting as it sounds at first! You kinda just pretend your instrument is tuned differently, this widens your options a lot.
Then the final recommendation following this would be getting yourself a chromatic tuner. One of the most challenging parts of playing the Ocarina is playing it in tune!
Some people kind of don't care, and just are out there living their best lives squeaking for the joy of it, power to them: But if you ever want to play with other people you want to learn to discipline your breath pressure to control your tone/intune.
Sadly with English Vessel Flutes (4/6/8 holes) the holes need to all be roughly equidistant from the center of the chamber, which makes a two finger setup ergonomically complicated while keeping a tangential fipple. It is also very desirable to use the pads of the fingers to cover the holes, making a good air seal is tricky with the middle of the finger. On ergonomics, it is also worth mentioning some Ocs get quite big as well! My largest 6 hole is almost 300mm wide, my fingers are not quite long enough to span this...
This is sadly not the correct site to find advice on doing naughty things with computers.
An anecdotal datapoint: My standard lecture teaching developers how to interact with K8s takes almost precisely 30 minutes to have them writing Helm charts for themselves. I have given it a whole bunch of times and it seems to do the job.
Beyond that many of us have been running on fumes for years, I can't lose ten extra hours every week away from seeing my family, so I can up-skill for a new variation on the same career with ultimately the same bull.
Humanity is possibly about to breed home appliances that pathfind our way to greater knowledge than we could ever have gotten to on our own.
AI might hit a wall and not progress for many years. Only time will tell...

The specific failure was that I first attempted to solve by using repeated subtraction. The guy kept asking me to "solve it a different way", or saying "there is a better way to solve this". I tried using arithmetic tables, I tried using results about base10 remainders and I even tried using one of the corollaries to Fermat's little theorem to speed it up for larger inputs... every time I was told I was getting it wrong because "there was a better solution". In the end he pointed out that the only solution he would accept was use of the mod operator.
Since then I have actively kept a tally: I naturally use the mod operator an average of twice a calendar year, it has always been in personal life code when dealing with complicated geometry problems, the bit of code containing it almost always fails on some edgecase because at the point of using mod it is convoluted.
This is a very advanced and difficult method of glass re-forming.
For most of my early career (Security focused), companies would download copies of packages for use, they would go through a rigorous security scanning and vulnerability management processes before being included into a whitelist of internally approved tooling for product dev. Licensing, regulatory compliance and international involvement in dependencies was reviewed at this stage.
In this type of environment, which is very good from a security perspective, it would be virtually impossible for the Left-pad removal to have the impact that it did. So the problem as I see it is not that the author of Left-pad did a naughty thing (he was well within his rights given the 'why' of it all), the problem is that generations of developers have been successfully trained to believe that all their assurance work has just magically been done for them: In many cases the modern ecosystems make it virtually impossible for them to verify and control packages themselves.
A passenger brought aboard a crocodile hidden in a sports bag. The crocodile escaped, causing a panic among passengers who all rushed to one end of the plane. This caused an imbalance in the aircraft which led to loss of control and a crash.
