I use Ubuntu at work. No issues with it.

I went to a top rated engineering school in the US and found the CS program easy. It helped that I enjoyed most of my classes, and that had been teaching myself for years before I got there. I had plenty of free time to spend with friends or whatever else.

While I've certainly had jobs that demanded long hours, I've had others that are more reasonable, and with good pay. It's more possible now to find a good paying job with good work/life balance than when I started working over 20 years ago.

Don't let the negative people scare you away from school or the industry. Ultimately your experience will be your own. If you find that the path you're on isn't working for you, just do something else!

Keychron makes keyboards in a variety of sizes, and most you can configure with different types of switches. They're priced well, too. I'd start there.

I was under the impression the company was moving to Unreal for future games. While it's nice to do this for the community, it seems like there isn't much of a future for these tools.

If C is so great, why do you have to hack in garbage collection?

I bought some of the Star Trek branded wines a few years back. They were unremarkable.

Seeing that Thor movie once was 1 time too many. I can't imagine seeing it 33 times.

This just blew my mind. I had always assumed Java was older. I started writing hobby projects in Java in the 90s. I don't think I heard about Python until the early 2000s.

I use Chewy. They were able to verify the prescription with my vet and I can reorder as needed.

I find it difficult to believe that breaking down steel to be 3d printed into large structures for a bridge is faster or more energy efficient than casting the parts instead.

I started playing through Skyrim again last year, but didn't get very far before I lost interest.

I jump back in to left4dead every year or two. The original is probably my favorite shooter. I haven't found Back4Blood as compelling.

Why is half this article about population decline? The writing also seems weird in places. AI generated, maybe?
