I am planning to buy a new laptop and wanted to buy a mac as i use an iphone so they can be interlinked. I am an information engineering student and i guess i will be doing simple programming, video editing, music making and daily regular use. Is a mac air enough for these or should i buy a mac pro. And if an air is enough do i need advanced cpu or other components? I dont understand much about pc so i’d be glad if you guys help me out.
I’ve started to read Paul Rabinow’s The Foucault Reader recently. I tought the concepts Foucault was writing about was interesting so i just picked up an introduction book about him. I have no experience of philosophy except several easy-reading books. I was reading the introduction part of this book and man, even the trailer is hard to deal with. It seems like he is using regular vocabulary with specific meanings he linked to them like many other philosopher. But it is hard to get them without an explicit explanation and not knowing what the actual fuck he is talking about and who he has beef with and why. Isn’t there a way to understand him without having detailed knowledge about what was going on in the philosophy scene and direct meaning of the terms he is talking about? Also english is not my mother tounge and i guess it makes things even harder.
