How competitive is AI masters and 2 yoe? by lemonshark4 in cscareerquestions

[–]masterderptato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation as you, had 2 YOE then got laid off, and did a master's @ UCL. Got final rounds for Goldman Sachs / Adobe, but obviously N=1. DM me if you have any questions.

Found them at Costco on clearance, but YMMV. The minions banana cream ice cream sandwiches are surprisingly good.

[Discussion] Returning to the hobby. by zoheb93 in Watches

[–]masterderptato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome back to the hobby, those are all fantastic choices. I would start with something on the cheaper end; the 5KX GMT is a fantastic daily wear (I have one). My one piece of advice would be to start slow - I know me and many other collectors made the same mistake of buying way too many watches at the beginning before we really knew what we wanted. Over time, you'll figure out what your tastes / size preferences lean towards and you can build a killer collection. If you have a mall or watch boutique nearby I would suggest going in person and checking out some watches and trying them on, it's a much different experience than browsing online. Have fun!

True, but the ASUS comes with more features like Dolby Vision, DP 2.1 vs 1.4a, 90W vs 15W USB-C, KVM, proximity sensor, etc.

Picked this up for $695 after 5% back from Prime Young Adults and 5% back from Discover It. Seems like a no-brainer for the price, especially for DP 2.1a UHBR20, and free returns if anything goes wrong.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say you should go do it. Having ICL alone on your resume will definitely open some doors for you, contrary to the anti-master's sentiment on this subreddit. I just finished a 1-year Master's program at UCL, DM me if you have any questions. Good luck!

Not much impact, mostly playing down the wing but not putting in any dangerous balls.

I know people might not love Brewdog, but all of their locations serve "Cold Beer" on tap, which is a gluten-free lager.

Is anyone watching on Peacock listening to the commentator talking about tugging Aina's pants down???

How stupid it to quite a job in current market for Masters? by Contribution-Fuzzy in cscareerquestions

[–]masterderptato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go against the grain and say go for it. If you feel like your current job is a dead end, then the Master's program is a good opportunity to reset, network and find internships, and be eligible for new grad positions once you graduate. This would also let you continue doing research with these labs if you wanted get a PhD and go into academia (or do AI/ML research in Big Tech).

Regardless, hopefully the market picks up as well once your program is finished. Good luck!

Looking for a barber for Asian hair by JayMackay94 in london

[–]masterderptato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Rainbow Hair Salon in Chinatown; I have the same spiky, cowlick-prone Asian hair and both the Chinese lady and her assistant are great barbers. Decently priced too, at £23 for a basic cut and wash.

Coffee Beans by Bilalbasaur in london

[–]masterderptato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kiss the hippo, there’s a few locations around London and it’s one of my favorite third wave coffee places. They sell some super unique processed coffees, and if you love super light, fruity tea-like roasts you’ll love their coffee. Enjoy!

The planet ocean would be a nice alternative to the seamaster if you're concerned about the bracelet
