Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
The test was difficult. I should have brought my glasses. Also apparently, people actually prepare a lot for the test. There are even paying mock up test and so on. Results are in august. Also, the test cost 300.- i'm really curious at where the money goes, because that's about 1 million in total ...

Re: Replacing the thermal paste on CPUs (and GPUs)?
The difference is noticable.
I never did it on my GPU, but it's long overdue (if i look at how hoter it gets than it used to), it's a bit less trivial than on cpu, because you have to open it.
On the CPU, you just remove the fan, you clean, and put new paste. Since you don't need to remove the cpu ...

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
Interview went well, i got the job.
I will start in the middle of august to get some basic training, and then start for real in september.
I feel a bit afraid of the great reduction in free time that will come from the combination of job and studies.

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
Since i might have a regular income again, i started thinking at ways to remortgage my house, to buy an other house and rent it out. This kind of scheme feels a bit like cheating.
Is the banking system skewed that way, or am i missing something? Is the only downside the risk of house prices sinking ...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta
My impression is that mimicry (or anti mimicry) is a desire of it's own, probably as a strategy to fulfull one's need for an identity.
And again, it's a bit like in cooking, where you can either follow a recipe, or make your own how your understand how ingredients work.

Re: Smelly Swiss Dilettante
While research in this lab was enjoyable, becoming an academic never was a goal. I was talking about my failure to get a job in the industry.
The trial night went well. Job implies a lot of walking trough empty facilities, and some driving. I enjoy those kind of settings.

They are traditionnaly made of wood, and have built in ventilation.

Re: awnings
Nearly every house in switzerland have outside cover and inside shade on every windows. You can play with them to adapt to weather condition. I think it's was like that for at least 60 years, because there where already old outside cover when i was a kid.
I thought it was standard in all the west.

What i would be afraid to lose, is not the ability to remember thing per se, but the ability to attach thing to context well enough to make remembering them relatively easy.
