I’m not much of a fan of Debian, but in your position would still recommend it. You’ll have enough to learn about from just using it as a server. You can learn about potential advantages of other distros later…

I feel like people here are arguing about technicalities, when the answer simply is that there is no way to know. If it is completely random, it could create a melody in the first 5 seconds. Or in 5 years from now.

You could only decide on a lower bound, i.e. for anything to be recognizable, you might need at least 100 ms of it, so it will take at least 100 ms to produce that.
But as soon as those 100 ms are over, all bets are off. At any moment, it could queue the appropriate sound that makes you recognize the previous seconds as some melody or sound.

Honorable mention in particular: Short snippets of white noise sound like a snare drum.

Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it’s highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he’s slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

I’ve been wondering, if you could combine LLMs with a logic programming language like Prolog. The latter is actually able to reason through things, you “just” have to express them in Prolog facts and rules.

Well, from doing a quick online search, I’m most certainly not the first person to think of this, which does not surprise me at all…

Hmm, will have to see, if I can find that in the shops. Thanks!

Hmm, is the last staff thing just the death message from Sif Muna? I seriously don’t play often enough with Sif Muna, because Heplhjdtfhxhdh always seems so good… 🥴

Would be nice, if we’d find a way to actually put proteins into there. Feels quite pointless to eat vegan cheese, when it’s just starch and fat. Might as well eat some more bread at that point. Or, you know, snack some nuts…

I can imagine there being a correlation, because there’s no reason to be outspoken, if you’re not embedded in a context that would push religion onto you, which includes celebrating Christmas.

I had a friend in university, whose parents immigrated from a secular region of East Asia, who was equally as atheist as I was. But while I arrived at that position after years of learning about Christianity, as well as peer pressure and self-reflection, she didn’t go through any of that.
She couldn’t have an opinion about Christianity to be outspoken about, because Christianity is just a random fandom as far as she’s concerned. She’s not particularly interested in it, and that’s all there is to it for her.

And then, yeah, while I’m obviously much more outspoken than her, I’m not outspoken against doing a celebration in winter. Because I’m embedded in this Christian context, my parents want me to visit for Christmas, so I guess, I celebrate Christmas. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

Yeah, in particular, anything close to 100 million users presumes that non-gamedevs will use this. For anything beyond simple variations of existing games, like e.g. “Skyrim with spears”, you need to have an actual understanding of game design. It is not enough to have cool ideas.

So, I really don’t see many non-gamedevs using this. Especially when they can pay less to play a properly designed game.

In German, we’ve somehow adopted the English word “Handy” to refer to mobile phones. Problem is, if you actually use it as a noun in an English sentence, it’s a slang word for “handjob”. 🫠

Explanation:

• “die” is German for (feminine) “the”.
• “Gift” is German for poison.

I think, it’s a matter of it being a lot more tangible. Whether momma pig really squeals in desperation, you kind of have to find out by watching a video. Or rather even multiple videos, since it might just be one particular momma pig. Hell, it might only be one particular farmer who takes the piglets away. If you want to believe that it surely isn’t as bad, there’s plenty opportunities.

With chick culling on the other hand, there’s a word for it, even a Wikipedia article for it. You can see a still image of one of the machines and it’s pretty obvious what it does. And that we have a machine for it also tells you that it certainly isn’t just one farmer doing it, but rather happening at an industrial scale.

Catchy! 🙃

On a more serious note, I know the struggle. For lunch, I had sweet potato gnocci with roasted cashews and pak choi, in a sauce out of gochujang chili paste, caraway, soy sauce and oat milk.

Even leaving aside the sauce, I might well be the first human to have eaten that particular combination, so there’s obviously not gonna be a name for it. You just start listing ingredients and most folks have no concept of what that would taste like, so they mentally quit halfway through. 🫠

Also interesting: What’s “cloud nine” in English is “cloud seven” in German (“Wolke Sieben”).

No idea, if those are linked…

Yeah, I can understand the frustration when an external decision forces you to disappoint some of your users, but ultimately you have to pick your battles. When neither the Python nor Rust ecosystem thinks those platforms are worth supporting, it’s probably not either worth it for you to worry…
