    The shortest stay was in Bahrain, for three days. I’d add duration and impression to the list, but that’d take me forever. So instead I’ll just say that my favorites are Singapore, Malaysia, Czech Republic, and Croatia. Honorable mention: Bahrain


  • I haven’t really gotten drunk in ages, with a few notable exceptions. Sure, I still drink beer, but rarely to the point of actually getting drunk.

    Exceptions:

    • On a work trip halfway around the world. After a looong day in the equatorial heat, some coworkers and I met in the bar to unwind. Upon trying to pay, it turned out that the ops manager had put his card in the bar and we all drank for free that night. My GF phoned me about something trivial later that night, and due to timezones she was expecting a normal afternoon conversation while I was severely hammeren and headed for bed. I vaguely remember warning her as I picked up the phone of my current physical state. I also vaguely remember being able to provide the answers needed from me.
    • Recently I met up with a former coworker that I hadn’t met in over 10 years. We went out for “a couple of beers”. Yeah, I had trouble finding the subway after.

    I’m 42, by the way.

    Storage space requirements are usualle insane compared to the end product. In this case, you need the full recording for every angle, and if you’re actively editing you probably want a buffer as well. Plus the end result is usually scaled down.

    Another example with the same principle: Geophysical survey data. The end product is usually a bunch of SEG-Y files with associated JPEGs, totallengde a few gigs. But the raw survey data is more close to a petabyte: It’s s8mewhat reasonable to think of it as an audio recording consisting of four mono channels * 1000 recording stations * a month duration.

    Raw data adds up fast.



  • My favorite ones are:

    Singapore - Beautiful, plenty to do and explore, and great lounges in general.
    Istanbul - The Turkish Airlines lounge is among the best I’ve ever visited. A bit crowded though.
    Amsterdam - Lots to do, efficient design, and fun to explore.
    Copenhagen - Very efficient design

    Honorable mention: Aberdeen. Small, simple, and with a nice pub. Could’ve used a better eatery, though.







  • I used to do the same, and for stationary PCs, that’s still my recommendation. Sure, some might actually need bleeding edge stuff for for some specific niche high performance thing, but for most people that’s a waste of money.

    The only exception is for laptops. I rely on laptops as I’m often on the go, and I’ve generally had better results when going high end (within reason) than going mid-tier.
