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!

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

I felt like the real prank was on me for having paid money to watch it

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.

C++ has had the same style of obtuse errors for decades. They can be a real pain to figure out even if you are used to seeing them.

Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point.

Yup, which is why it's basically impossible to be an ethical consumer these days. "The Good Place" did a really entertaining exploration of this idea.

So you want Epson to provide you with a separately application which runs in the background to tell you when to update? Why split the responsibility?

I'm tired of hearing about this game already.

Officials immediately safed the Gemini North telescope and stowed the massive instrument.

While it's good to be cautious, it's wild that hardware would be exposed to external actors in any way.

I enjoyed the ship battles in Assassin's Creed 4 way more than the platforming and main story. I probably spent twice as much time at sea as I did on land.

why do you have to pay extra to play online in 2023, anyways?

The one-time cost of a game isn't going to cover the ongoing costs of hosting the servers hosting the game.
