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.

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 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?

I played Tetris for the first time on my friend’s Gameboy back in the 90’s. I didn’t get addicted at the time and I’m still not, but I do play Tetris 99 on my switch occasionally.

Overall, it’s an amazing game. It can be learned in minutes but takes years to master.

“why” is a perfectly valid question to ask

There’s a good amount of star Trek content on Netflix already. I expect more will follow if paramount can’t keep it’s numbers up

That’s not the point though. The point is that the human comedian and the AI both benefit from consuming creative works covered by copyright.

Vulcan was delayed because of BE-4 readiness, not because of anything ULA itself was doing

Further what do you think I meant with high end premium?

The base model X costs twice the base model Y. I’d consider the X expensive. I wouldn’t put the Y in the same category.

I just picked up Again the Storm a few days ago and have been enjoying that. I like that the settlement building isn’t drawn out like other strategy games, and I don’t really feel bad about it when I lose since I can still earn perks and bonuses that persist throughout the campaign.

GOTY for me is definitely Balder’s Gate 3. Enjoyed it start to finish, and there was enough content that my second playthrough didn’t feel like a rehash of the first.

I wouldn’t consider the Tesla model Y a high end premium vehicle. It was the best selling vehicle in the world earlier this year, in spite of the higher price than gas-powered competitors:

Somebody crunched some numbers and decided that they’d keep more customers by making an optional fee instead of raising the price for everyone
