Ask him what 'out of inodes' means and how to fix it. This usually stumps linux fanboys that don't know poo poo.

Gazpacho posted:Again and again, in interviews and surveys, one is asked what hobby one has. If the illustrated magazines report on one of those entertainment celebrities, of whom to speak constitutes a preoccupation with the same, they seldom fail to list, more or less intimately, the person's hobbies. In the self-explanatory quality of the question of what hobbies one has, it resonates that one must have some; perhaps even a selection that matches the leisure business's offerings. Organized freedom is compulsory. Woe if you have no hobby, no free time activity. Then you are a swot, an old-timer, an eccentric, and subject to ridicule in a society that dictates to you what your free time shall be. This compulsion is not only an external one. It knits itself into the needs of people under the functioning system.

"What language have you used most" "What do you like about it" gently caress YOU gently caress YOU I WASNT ASKED WHETHER I LIKE IT "Rate yourself on a scale to 10" "How long will it take you to become a 10" I hate every part of this, asking people to rate themselves with a number is nothing more than cargo cult ceremony and head games, there is no rational way to answer

I wonder what the point of that question is, because my natural inclination is to answer "it isn't up to me to rate myself, it's up to other people" and I don't think that's the right answer.

I'm an 8 now. but since proficiency is asymptotic, I expect to approach 10 but never reach it. I plan to be over 9 in another 2 years.

"oh, a friend told me it was good"
