It was so great going to the sauna again, we were looking forward to that the whole week. :-) Itās been over a year, holy cow, time flies. We definitely have to pick up on that tradition again, thatās for sure.
We attended two Aufguss sessions, the first and last one in our four hour visit. Unfortunately, we didnāt make it to the other two, because the crazy people already occupied the entire sauna 15 minutes before the start. Yeah, no.
Now, the bellies are stuffed with kebabs. Yum! Letās see how often I wake up tonight to rehydrate.
(#gs4vtma) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Youāre right, thatās neat. I also saw Paskās take on that which he referenced. I donāt know if I will ever attempt anything like that. Canāt imagine to succeed in that mission.
(#uv6dhzq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. Yeah, if you gotta have to tediously plow through, it feels deeper. And sometimes it actually is.
We had super thick fog this morning. It rolled in extremely quickly, maybe 15 minutes at most. Visibility was below 50 meters. Looked cool from inside.
(#f2s5vgq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Found some numbers now, theyāre saying it was around 10cm in 3-4 hours. I donāt know, felt like more. š The forecast wasnāt really good either, now that I think about it. They said thereās going to be some snow, okay, fine, but then, boom.
Haha, that old ad is lovely. Those days are over. š¤£
Ich hab es jetzt endlich geschafft, diese alte Podcastdatei anzuhƶren, die ich auf meiner Platte fand. Omega-Tau 293 Ć¼ber WasserstraĆen und im Speziellen den Neckar. Total interessant. Ich bin bisher noch nie Ć¼ber diese Serie gestolpert und habe keine Ahnung, wie ich Ć¼berhaupt zu der Datei kam. Leider ist der Podcast mittlerweile eingestellt, das TLS-Zertifikat der Website die Tage abgelaufen und die Folgenseite tot, aber die Audiodatei gibtās noch: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/omegataupodcast/omegatau-393-wasserstrassen.mp3
Iām not an expert on this subject at all, but I reckon an automatic in addition with all its sensors is much worse than a manual one. All wheel drive, studded tires and diff locked is what one wants in icy situations. :-D
(#cdqksfa) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I donāt know a number (wait, why canāt I google a Wetterbericht but only a Wettervorhersage?!), but it was enough for public transportation to shut down. š I think I saw around five trucks on the side of the road who couldnāt continue, too icy. Some cars stranded.
My car has an automatic gearbox and Iām not sure if thatās good or bad in such conditions. š Pretty hard to accelerate without spinning wheels ā¦
(#cdqksfa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome home! How many decimeters did you get? It just snowed a tiny bit, but absolutely zero survived on the ground here.
(#avmdvrq) @prologic@twtxt.net (While browsing through that, I noticed that https://mu-lang.dev/ itself doesnāt really mention the source code repo, does it? š¤ Like, the quickstart guide begins with āBuild the host: go build ./cmd/muā, but whereās the git clone ā¦ command? š )
Iām not really sure what the goal is. š¤ Do you want to get pull requests for the docs? Or bug reports for mu itself? š¤
Trying an experiment. Created a Github repo for mu over at https://github.com/prologic/mu as a social experiment to see if we can maintain a tailored Github docs-only repo of a project, see if it gets any interest š¤
I built Audiofern to make it simple to turn PDFs into audiobooks. Upload a document, get clean, chapterized narration with natural voices, and share it via a hosted playerāor download M4A/M4B and keep it forever. Files are private by default, and pricing is transparent: pay once by audio hour or subscribe to build a listening library.
(#l2udpba) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I donāt have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so itās very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names Iāve never heard before. Sometimes, I first thought other kids were making fun of their friends by calling them by made-up nonsense. But no. Without question, I live under a rock. I just looked up some of them that came to mind immediately and they seem to be of Greek, Swedish and Latin origin, etc.
I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated.
Yes, apparently so. (Iām glad we stopped doing that. I donāt get this obsession with the contents of other peopleās pants. š¤¢)
Now Iām wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?
Did this ever happen or was this an urban myth? Would have to dig up some statistics, I guess. (Anecdotal evidence: None of the people I know gave their kids crazy names. š)
(#2dksr5q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didnāt read through the court decision, though.
Interesting, I always thought that Kiran was a male first name. But I only know one person with that name. As last name, though.
Now Iām wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?
(#acvnzkq) @bender@twtxt.net Thatās the plan! Once Iām happy with this v1 (and we find no other obvious bugs/issues) updating āChangesā with user-facing / human-freidnyl changes is part of the release process!
(#gw45uga) @klaxzy@klaxzy.net Nope, not IONOS, but we use them a lot at work. To be honest, I consider them one of the better providers (at least regarding the IaaS stuff that we do). š
(#acvnzkq) @bender@twtxt.net Thanks for letting me know it was Mobile Safari! I just did some testing real quick and things are not working very well š¤ I think Iāve introduced some regressions last night as I was putting this into prod š services me right for late-night deployment š¤£ Iāve taken it down for now, will spend a bit more time on testing making sure things all work properly!
(#vx4rw2q) @prologic@twtxt.net (I still donāt know how you can muster up so much motivation and energy (especially when you have a family). Are we the same species?! š )
Omg, Python. Parsing arguments with argparse takes 50 ms on my NUC, because this pulls in all kinds of fancy stuff behind the scenes, colorization and what not. š®āšØ
(#vx4rw2q) Has a bit of a long history story behind this, where last year at work we were reading this book called Engineering a Safer World and initially came across a service called Speech Reply that allowed me to upload a PDF copy of the book and start to read it, but unfortunately, the free trial right now before I can finish reading it turns out that Speech Reply service cost a whopping US$30 a month and expected me to pay a full year upfront, which was well over US$300 just for one fucking book! So I sent their sales and support staff a message kindly asking if it were possible to just pay for the audio transcription of just a single book or to change to a monthly subscription fee, to which they refused, so basically in the end I got very angry and told them to go fuck themselves and built my own service. A year later here we are :-)
Another project where Iām going to use my terminal widget toolkit is a hex editor. This is still very young, obviously, and thereās a lot of work to do (both in the toolkit and this particular application), but Iām making some progress:
Since this program is UTF-8 clean (I hope), you can do things like enter multi-byte UTF-8 sequences or paste them from the system clipboard (another hex editor I just tried failed to do this correctly):
Under the hood, Iām using mmap() with MAP_PRIVATE, which is really cool: I get the entire file as a byte array, no matter how large it is, no need to actually read it upfront; and MAP_PRIVATE means that I can write to this area however I like without changing the underlying file. The kernel does copy-on-write for me. Only when you hit Save, it will write to the filesystem. And itās just a couple lines of code. The kernel does all the magic. š„³
