A two-year MS in CS is precisely that. Most American universities allow precocious high schoolers to graduate in three years, but unless tuition money is a concern, a fourth year to soak it all in is worth it. Your working life is long --

What would life be like if there was no electricity for six months? My pacemaker would stop ticking, and I'd die. So no, I'm gonna go to as many bars, cinemas and video arcades as possible, and books can go suck it.

I only remember 10% of what I read, so I agree it's not efficient, and certainly not fun. But reading is the only way to become a better writer, and that's still worth something in my circles.

We didn't need that level of detail, and we can't help you. Tend bar, drive uber, or deliver Amazon. Accept that your crimes have you set you back for life, and a white-collar job might be out of reach for many years.

It's called an aging libido. Your social circle never expected much from you, but it takes all of your 20s and 30s for the little brain to relent to being average.

I just had a robust discussion Truly robust discussions sometimes lead to published papers. Your discussions are ones struck up and quickly forgotten by fifth graders.

imply that it’s among the best we’ve got. If this and GP's response are inception-level sarcasm, then I'm outclassed. My initial reaction to GP was intended to cast a light on its vacuousness, what with all the hedging and crede

My take - Kubernetes isn’t perfect Good to know. When I ask if a technology is worth leanring, I always assume it's perfect. I was also relieved to discover a new platform might but also might not surface to overtake K8s.

If you had a six-figure job, would you bother getting a college diploma? Similarly if you had a Chinese girlfriend, would you bother studying Mandarin? Be honest with what you really want before wasting time.

Frankly? I don’t care that Neovim forked from Vim. I don't mind your indigination -- you've given neovim v. vim more thought than most. I do mind when pointy heads say "I don't care" when they clearly do.
