just to chime in on alternative keyboard layouts:

I’m german and can’t recommend the neo2 family of layouts enough.
I currently am using the “noted” layout and it feels absolutely amazing.

The different layer approach makes it easy to write all the symbols for programming I need, or if you are a writer, all the »correct« „quotation“ marks.
there’s even support for all the greek letters used in math equations: ℤℵ×∀ℂΣ∫∃∇ℕℝ∂ΛΦΨ

You can learn more about the layout here (site is in german):

In my oppinion it never hurts to always have a few tools at hand. A knife, a light, and something that can be improvised as a screwdriver or a hammer is ideal (most of the time that may be the knife and a sturdy flashlight). Man or woman or anything in between or out of bounds, does not matter, having things, when they are needed, is always helpful.

Ofc you could also go the “survival” route and pack survival kits and emergency bags, to have everything for every opportunity at hand, but that may be overkill.

Don’t forget about MASTER BOOT RECORD: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/77s5NAGQbxu8oLstaqSwHE?si=KbpLraHBSpWkg56kVhMEFA

Nah it’s actually decent.

Then again I didn’t get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn’t as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.

One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn’t seem like it’s trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren’t literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn’t bother me too much.

30, german, yes I can, no I do not. I drive a hybrid, so no manual transmission.

• Speed Cubing
• Aggressive Inline Skating
• Magic The Gathering
• Misc. Video Games
• Self Hosting
• Historical European Martial Arts (Swordfighting with a Longsword especially)

Those are the ones for me. Yeah turned 30 this year as well. No Autism (probably) but have ADHD.

Programming is my job, so I don’t define that as a hobby 😅

I personally love the feel of the MoYu RS3M MagLev. And I think it was like 15 bucks.

And don’t be afraid to go to chinese distributors like ziicube.com Saves a lot of money by going directly to the source and buying in bulk if you can, to alleviate shipping cost.

Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want real^TM cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.

Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can’t combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.

I thought they get into the hay of things.

Seems like avoiding context switching and all the overhead associated would make a big difference when pretty much everything in cache is critical data.

It’s not. Like the commenter above said: It’s a fraction of the task at hand. Especially when you design the rest of the system to run only if necessary. Context Switches are what? like 50 CPU Cycles? Store Registers, Store TCB, Load other TCB and load other register states jump back to PC. Maybe some other OS Shenanigans, but that’s basically it.

Now Imagine complex calculations on a 25-Dimensional Matrix.
