Did it feel worthwhile? Did you learn as much as you'd expected to?
It did yes. I was more interested in the system level courses and my undergrad wasn’t great (Indian low tier) so for me it was very rewarding and helped me for sure.

There is this line from Michael Clayton movie that I basically assume every time I see something like this ‘client:(phone rings) That’s the police isn’t it? MC: No, they don’t call.’ Or in this case, they don’t email.

I wonder what would happen if both OS were run through a Don Norman’s Design of Everyday Things test.

I don't think that's what they're getting at. My understanding of this was that "people who actually care about you will find a way". Someone who does not actually care about you won't bother. So chances are, if the person was only in contact with you because you're on Facebook, they don't really care about you in the first place. Cutting off someone who can't be bothered to get in touch with you is pretty normal.
Exactly! Most people now just text me if they want to know about me. I realised so many of these ‘friends’ only cared enough to like pictures or make a comment on them. Beyond that they weren’t interested. It’s better to not have such friends than have them as you are getting a false sense of friendship not a real one. I can’t believe people don’t see this problem yet. Not to mention the fact that if I actually meet them maybe by coincidence for example, they have nothing to talk about themselves but still have a profile full of photos. I already know a few people who have completely lost it due to Facebook and Instagram. I hope the damage isn’t beyond repair. This is a very serious problem in my opinion. I don’t think everyone is addicted but I think most of them are and it’s not good.

I deleted FB 2 years ago, Twitter 2.5 years ago and Instagram 1 year ago.
Most close friends found zero problems connecting with me. That’s cause they call, text or we just meet. It’s almost like I started to live in the ‘real’ life rather than a made up one. It felt weird and underwhelming at times but it is horrifying how much we can get sucked into social media without even knowing most of the times. The withdrawal symptoms can be real too.
Seriously just go and click the delete button right now after seeing this post. Don’t think just do it.

What I find common on such threads is Linux users bashing how Apple users are suckers. I don't get the point of such comments. Most people on HN can already figure out how to build their own PC, install and configure the distro of their choice. But thats not even relevant as everyone is pointing out the flaws in software so that the company responsible will fix them. Bragging about Linux makes no sense, many of us using Macs here most likely already have a linux box as well.

Is that not just what C++ aims to be?
I find C++ and Rust hard to grasp quickly. I like Go since I come from C but I haven’t looked at any frondtend in Go. I would say some kind of Rust + Go mashup with some kind of good frontend framework (especially something that translates for mobile devices) could do the trick. But I find that every time I interview for a company the tech stack is always a different combination and a learning curve for newcomers.
Be happy to be able to provide actual 1Gbps as a best-effort to your coworking space! If I were a customer, I‘d be glad that I can download my 50GB of whatever I need asap and use the full connection I paid for, and not have 50% of it clogged by some TOR relay or stuff like that.
I mean, the customers are paying for it, right? So they should be able to use it for whatever they need, as much or as little as they need.
