Libraries play a very crucial role in providing access to crucial knowledge for the curious among us. The amount of ideas surrounding you in the form of books is just inspiring in it of itself and provides a very unique environment.

When it comes to model architecture people get very creative. It's a very empirical process with a lot of trial and error. Why this works so good probably no one understands to a full extend.

If you accept that the making decisions for yourself inherently involves making mistakes, life becomes a lot easier.

Yeah if you think about this, borders are more or less arbitrary symbols that we associated we some meaning with. While we as a humanity have to think globally, there is some value in having governments concerned with local problems.

I think the tech industry has some very unique characteristics. Most employers are looking for experienced people while not providing opportunity to gather experience. But there are also unique opportunities with lots of online resources and the low entry cost to build that experience on your own.

I just recently started reading some Nietzsche and he has a very different perspective on life than most of what I was told when I was a kid. Very insightful philosopher

Amazing if you consider how constrained the programmers of such a machine were. Today people use javascript and blow away decades of hardware improvement. Kind of crazy.

I recently saw a talk that mentioned the saying: "If public libraries wouldn't have been invented long ago we would not be able to invent them today." I think libraries and the approach to accessible knowledge for everyone is widely underappreciated.

Change is inevitable, but you are the one steering the ship. Don't let your ship be taken down by others.

Consider using LibreOffice instead. You can do a lot without all of the proprietary Microsoft stuff.

Social media can most certainly be a very toxic environment. But there is also a flip side to the coin where it may help people being more visible and getting their ideas out to an audience that cares. It truly is a very disruptive technology that both is bad and good imo

It's crazy that many vendors are trying to ship their product with some spyware that is taking 10% of your cpu time. Ridiculous

Walking the path of somebody else will most certainly lead to failure and deep resentment.

Anger and resentment will keep you trapped in a deep hole.

I think writing is a very underappreciated skill, that provides a lot of value to an individual. I also just recently got into it.

I think when it comes to degrees there is a great decoupling between the actual value of having a degree and how it is valuated by let's say an employer. A degree is worth nothing if it didn't taught you a thing or did so very inefficiently.

Well it really depends on what you are doing. If you are heavily relying on proprietary software such as drivers for your daily use (video, image editing) I would not recommend linux. As a development machine on the other side there is nothing that comes close to linux IMO

There is no point in arguing with someone if you have no common ground to agree on in the first place.

I think to this day it is still an open question of how these systems will affect the need for certain skills. But only time will tell how useful they actually are.

At least it's open source

A friend of mine had a raspberry that virtually ran everything from his home assistant to some kind of hacky nas solution. He always wanted to move away from it and to a home server that was actually capable to do so, but I think the amount of migration effort is just too big of a hurdle
