Shin Lims final performance in AGT is just out of this world

I have to say thought that I’d like to be more minimalistic andcould reduce my consumerist behavior. And regarding software: I use tools like mutt and vim because they make me productive. Use the tools that make you more productive and don’t trash talk other peoples tools.

Regarding minimalists: I still find those fun that own like a hundred things and one of them is a smartphone and one is a kindle. And they don’t mention how many ebooks, pieces of music and apps are on those. I bet often they are not really minimalistic ;)

This “your software is more bloated than yours” feels like a similar elitism like those from “militant” minimalists: look, I own only 10 things and my life is so much better than yours because of this. Fap, fap, fap… Minimalism is fine but this behavior just annoys me massively…

When I read those articles about bloated software like vim I always wonder what for machines these people use or files they edit, that they see a difference in their daily usage.

Just read yet another article how bloated vim is in contrast to nvi. Luckily even my slowest computer, a 1.6 GHz-dual core Atom from nearly 10 years ago with 2MB Ram, is performant enough that I do not really see a difference in my use cases (even with plugins etc).

Hm…I just figured out how I can”teleport” a card from hand to the other. This still needs a lot of exercise but that should work. Neat. #cardmagic

I am starting to understand some card magic performances and the whole thing becomes even more interesting when I have an idea how it works and see how skilled the people are who created and doing them. Shin Lim is not so magic anymore but I am more impressed by his performance.

Apple implements Screen Time and immediately does it right. This is far better than what Google does with Family Link.

Fighting with a RaidZ2 to get it to be performant. Added now a SLOG-device but it doesn’t really seem to help. Let’s watch that. But I see me already moving data to pools that are just a mirror and dissolve this RaidZ2. And I have to read up on the ARC… #zfs

Ok…Linus apologizes and Linux gets a sensible Code of Conduct…what happened? This is a great development imho. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a104f8b5867c682d994ffa7a74093c54469c11f

Wow! Linus apologized and wants to change: “My flippant attacks in emails have been both unprofessional and uncalled for. Especially at times when I made it personal. (…) I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry.” https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/16/167

Out of curiosity I installed the Fedora XFCE-spin on my netbook. And it is sooo much more performant than OpenBSD (both with FDE). I didn’t expect that much of a performance boost. 🤔

That soccer game was a party and I had an awesome time with the big one. I can understand sports fans a lot better now.

Knowing how some of the sleight of hands-stuff work makes good magicians even more magical to me. The bad ones you see what they do, the mediocre you see it, when you know how it works but the good ones, there I just ask myself: What? How? It made magic more magically to me.

Today I could for the first time successfully let a card vanish in front of my kids: “Where did you put it, dad?” Short silence “Ah, I know, it is on the back of your hand” Slowly but surely I am getting there. :) And my dribble gets better, getting close to an anaconda :)

Freitag gehe ich zu meinem ersten Fußballspiel. Eisern Union gegen Duisburg. Was man nicht alles den Kindern zu Liebe macht. Aber gespannt bin ich ja schon.

I just learned that there is a game called Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon that looks and feels like a sequel to Castlevania 3. It is pretty great on the 3DS.
