Phil and the likes were too hands-off on these studios post-acquisition. They got too complacent enjoying steady paychecks over years of delays while working on their niche games that only highlight their artistic vision over generally fun gameplay. That's where they failed. The Activision/Blizzard acquisition and GamePass fumble were just a nail on the coffin

> encryption / trusted computing is so good that future systems will never be cracked.
I highly doubt this. The platforms that didn't have any jailbreaking scenes weren't because the devices were so secure; it was because there was not enough demand for it. If given enough time, there will always be hacks and bypasses just like Denuvo or hypervisor bypass like the recent hack.

I'd suggest giving Eufy 2k cameras a try. I was also a long time Wyze fan but I've recently switched to Eufy after trying out their 2k cameras. Compared to Wyze, it offers better resolution (thus 2k in their name), on-device pet/human detection (Wyze charges monthly fees for cloud-based detection), and way better app experience. It's slightly more expensive but well worth the price for me.

As a korean myself, I can say that kimchi is not really considered “spicy” to Koreans. It just happens to have chili peppers. When Koreans talk about spicy food, it’s the spiciness level of something like bulldak (spicy chicken) that has a lot more spicy ingredients. In relation to effects on health from eating a lot of spicy food, I don’t think you will find much in studying Koreans. Korean food is notoriously famous for being salty (especially soups that most Koreans eat daily) and a lot of Koreans suffer cardiovascular diseases from high blood pressure because of their diet.
On a side note, it’s really kimchi’s acidity that helps with cleaning palate much like Germans’ sauerkraut or Japanese’ pickled ginger (called “gari”) that you eat with sushi.

As someone coming from macOS, the one feature that I miss most on Windows is applications remembering their old positions when plugged into multiple displays. When I first saw this happen on macOS, I thought it was some magic. Now on Windows, I have to constantly drag each window back into its own display every time I plug in/out from displays.

Feeling always behind the others. I've recently completed my master in CS while working full time. I still feel that I'm vastly behind other people in terms of compensation and knowledge. I can never be motivated at my current work when I know there are new grads making double or triple of my current salary.

Problems you mentioned are not unheard of from my personal experience but it's highly dependent on which company or industry. Most of my peers who work in the software industry never had a problem of getting vacation time of few weeks and never work more than 8 hours per day. Of course there's a few times during the year where working more hours are encouraged (e.g. before release/deadline), but even then it's pretty rare. A lot of my friends from foreign countries will not hesitate to come to U.S. to work if they can resolve their visa situation. Also, this article mostly addresses academic jobs which is a totally different story from typical corp jobs.

As a current OMSCS student, it largely depends on your CS background, work hours, and which course/program. So far, it's been working pretty well for me as OMSCS has a lot of info about each course (check omscentral.com for course reviews), and I've been scheduling my future semesters based on course workload.

For almost every course I've taken in OMSCS, I always run into those issues. I'm pretty sure Piazza team knows about these problems too, because I had these issues since I was taking courses in undergrad (4-5 years ago). What this makes me think is that Piazza is just incapable of improving its own core product because it's struggling to monetize and generate revenue. I think Piazza in its current state just doesn't work at the scale of OMSCS. It could work with class size of maybe 30-40 students. I would gladly switch over to another product if it was offered as an option.

There's no one-size-fits-all type of advice because everyone's situation is very different. There are some great resources available online to get started though. This one [1] is for physicians but could also apply to everyone. The bogleheads [2] and their wiki page are also great resources for these topics.
