This summarizes Severance

I learned how to count to 10 and a few other random bits of Korean in Tae Kwon Do class.

Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.

For the most part it’s best to use system provided sorting implementations, but somebody has to write those implementations, so every once in a while somebody needs to do it (in practice by looking up a reference implementation of course).

But also it’s good to understand things like big O scaling and why we use quicksort rather than a naive insertion sort and when to use quick sort vs merge sort or some other form of stable sort.

What about fictional or ancient religious swears?

• by the power of Ra!
• may Zeus grant mercy
• by Grabthar’s hammer!
• thank Thor

When I’m in a gaming VC I sometimes swap in setting-appropriate swears.

What about political figures?

• thanks Obama

What about cringy internet/gaming references?

• God damn -> mods ban
• thank god -> thanks chat

Lego quality is still good but has noticeably degraded over the years.

And the entertainment systems crash and bug out all the time so I sure hope the more important systems are developed more thoroughly lol

Split it into multiple credit cards. I had a similarly very large expense recently, and I have 3 credit cards. I asked each for a credit limit increase, and took what I could get (none of them gave me what I requested, but all of them gave me some increase). Then I split the cost over all 3 cards.

I’ve used multiprocessing to squeeze more performance out of numpy and scipy. But yeah, resorting to multiprocessing is a sign that you should be dropping into something like Rust or a C variant.

Of the ways you listed the only one that will actually take advantage of a multi core CPU is multiprocessing

In the US if someone served me something like in the picture I’d call it a “crepe”. My expectation of a “pancake” is for it to be thicker (maybe like 1cm thick), and very fluffy (while a crepe is usually a bit crispy). However I’m not much of a cook so I don’t know if there are other differences between a “crepe” and a “pancake”.

I think I’ve heard “panqueques” in Spain

I was able to quiet mine with a bash script until eventually a software update changed the fan control to keep it quiet for me.

There are advantages to getting server-grade hardware. It’s designed to run 24/7, often supports more hard drives, ram sticks, processors, etc, and often is designed to make it very quick to replace things when they break.

You can find used servers on sites like EBay for reasonable prices. They typically come from businesses selling their old hardware after an upgrade.

However, for simple home use cases, an old regular desktop PC will be just fine. Run it until it breaks!

Things like lectures I agree are actually better online than in person, but there’s a lot about university learning that can’t really be replicated online.

The most obvious thing being physical demonstrations and hands on projects, which I had in several physics and engineering classes.

Also I think in-person works better for discussion sections or office hours, where talking it out and writing it on a board is often easier to do in person than online (although there are tools for these things online).

Another big thing you’d miss out on by studying online is the whole social aspect of living away from your parents and with other people your age and making friends and going to parties and such.

The multiple power supplies are for redundancy. It will work with one plugged in but you are “supposed” to plug in both.

It’s fundamentally not that different from a consumer desktop. Plug in a monitor and a keyboard and a USB with your preferred flavor of headless Linux installer on it. Configure ssh as the first thing you do because you won’t want to plug the monitor and keyboard into it every time you need to tweak something.

You can probably find VGA to HDMI adapters if you can’t find a monitor with VGA support.

Quick recap, in quidditch, scoring goals scores 10 or 20 points, catching the snitch scores 150 points

Idk how canon this is, but I remember a quidditch computer game I used to play (on Windows XP) where usually when you scored your team would get the ball through the hoops multiple times in rapid succession, so scoring like 5 times in a row. Like if in basketball, if your team caught the ball after making a hoop you could pass it back and shoot again. That at least makes the point value of the snitch less egregious. Everything else you mentioned is very true though.

TBF 0C and 0F are kinda arbitrary values.

Wire guard is pretty easy to set up. Also Docker is great.

WhatsApp is owned by Meta (FaceBook), which is notorious for stooping to the level of borderline malware to steal data.
