How come, we academics are so terrible at "knowledge transfer"? We can't even make sure that this year's organizers of an event know everything they need to know, and the organizers last year already had to learn. I guess, it's not a priority. 😩

Traveling across central Europe by train tomorrow. Theoretically, a 11h journey with two changes. What are the odds that I will arrive on time? 1. Very good 2. 50:50 3. Deutsche Bahn? 🤣

Ugh. Past me underestimated how many experiments future me is going to run. ReBenchDB just overflowed 16bit ints on the number of trials (i.e., experiments per benchmark machine). Is this something to celebrate? The number of collected measurements already requires 24bits...

Lecture 7, and we have a recording. Some said it would be impossible. Others suggested that computers were a mistake in the first place. And sometimes I reminded myself of younger me who observed/predicted that professors have no technical skills any longer. Is it perfect? 1/2

At this point, the expectations from the students to get recordings is zero. Maybe it's a good thing. But, I won't be defeated by technology! Wish me luck 🙈

After the uni's browser-based lecture recording system failed in 6 different ways (it worked last term), I am running out of ideas. I guess ffmpeg is my next best option.
