And now: Mr. Robot

Isn’t it part of studying to get deep into a topic even outside of that what is in your curriculum? Get yourself knowledge in the topics you are studying and try to get knowledge beyond that? It is not school anymore, you should get beyond the script from the prof.

I am listening to a podcast about how the university economics programs changed after the financial crisis. And I am only thinking: yes, they taught me mainly the mainstream and that was already a lot. But the rest I did in my off-time with books and papers.

And what I definitely like better than in Samus Returns: run, shoot while running and continue running instead of run, stop wait, wait for the massive attack, counter it, shoot, run. And the Metroid-fights aren’t so cumbersome. #metroid2

Ok, Metroid 2 is better than I remember. Thanks @retronauts for bringing me back to the game.

Hm, xfs allocates disc space dynamically dependent on file size - then a 4GB-file can become an 8GB-file…yeah… www.fromdual.com

Btw. it was also very annoying when I wrote that macOS and Apple-hardware is awesome (quiet, fast, long battery life) and some F/OSS-zealot came and told me that Apple sucks and that their computers are way overpriced.

‪Every time I say I don’t want to spend a ton of money on non-serviceable computers anymore, an Apple-zealot comes and tells me that F/OSS-systems suck and only power users can use them. It is so annoying.

She even thinks about using a Raspberry Pi because it might be sufficient ;)

When the MacBook Air dies, my wife will probably switch to Linux. We both don’t want to spend anymore more than 1500€ for a computer for our use cases.
