@vick21 I played with it a very long time ago, and I couldn't understand and perceive the sonic representation at all. For me, the idea is very cool, but it would require a lot of practice to rewire my brain to follow the sonicscape. lol
@chikim Same here. The article also points this out. I think it took Nimer quite a bit of time to get a hang of this. But he seems to really like and use the app!
#dobreranko všem Vyrazil jsem dolů do města do pekárny pro pečivo dost na lehko (krátké tričko, kraťasy, sandály) a ejhle jen 11°C. Navíc v pekárně dnes nepekli chleba, tak ještě do #penny kde mne opět naštvali, postupně ruší pečivo od malých lokálních výrobců, i když jsou nejprodávanější. Prý to tak chceme. No, rozdíl na bochníku chleba je kolem 7-10Kč, chuťově a výdrží 300%. #penam výrobky jsou odpad, koupil jsem #odkolek podmáslovy chléb (nic moc) a vícezrnný lámankový a ač 2x dražší tak zase nic moc 🤷 Nevím jestli jsem nějak rozmazlený, ale i Babiččin chleba od PéCé je násobně lepší a po 5 dnech pořád skvělý. Takže ráno budu muset přes 3 pekařství abych nakoupil co nám chutná, prakticky 18km, to je už na kolo 🤦
Já mám výhodu. Kousek od baráku máme malou pekárnu. Tak chodím pro dobrý chléb tam. Jen musí člověk brzo ráno, protože je hned pryč. Odkolek je Babiše ten nekupujeme 😄
@archos Tak asi všechny tyhle super výrobny, pekárnou bych to nenazýval, stojí za prd. Jsem vděčný za PéCé (Pekárny a cukrárny Náchod a.s.) jsou v Náchodě, Broumově a u nás v Trutnově, zatím drží obstojnou kvalitu. Problém je s velkými super/hyper markety, prostě od nich postupně přestávají brát, přestože jejich zboží zmizí jako první, ač ne nejlevnější. Divná politika .....
@archos Mizerný chleba je s mrtvým žitným kvasem vyhnaný pekařským droždím, aby se zrychlilo pečení. Klasický chleba se žitným kvasem se vyrábí minimálně 6 hodin ale i 12. I velká pekárna umí dobrý chleba, ale pokud je tlak na cenu, tak za 2-3 hodiny vyrobí šmejd. A dokud bude poptávka...
> Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno is introducing legislation aimed at penalizing companies who outsource jobs and operations overseas while at the same time providing financial support to avenues that create American jobs.
> The bill, introduced on Friday and known as the "Halting International Relocation of Employment Act" or "HIRE Act," creates a 25% tax on "outsourcing payments" which are defined as any money paid by a U.S. company or taxpayer to a foreign person whose work benefits U.S. consumers.
Isn't sourcing anything from another country technically the same as: "any money paid by a U.S. company or taxpayer to a foreign person whose work benefits U.S. consumers." ?

To byla tehdy nějaká mánie, že podle předpisů musí být na ceduli plný název zastávky, přinejhorším lze jednotlivá slova vhodně krátit. A tady začal jezdit autobus s digitální cedulí, která tehdy uměla jen jeden řádek. (Ale možná to bylo aut.st., abych úplně nekecal. Nejsem si už jist.)
The head of the Montreal firefighters’ union says his members weren’t able to immediately respond to a fire Friday morning in Notre-Dame-de-Grace — even though the nearest fire station was three minutes away.
@FoxVK @schmaker lebo teraz musím čítať o "Prekliatych básnikoch" Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Veraline a Charles Baudelaire triezvy... objednal som si Kvety Zla od Baudelaira, Mrcina veľmi dobrá báseň páči sa mi to.
I admit there is one thing I sometimes use llm's for: generating largely meaningless crap for corporate processes and buereaucracy. Maybe the use of LLMs correlates precisely with the amount of meaningless devoid-of-meaning lifeless crap in our lifes?

The LI-900 silica tiles used on the Space Shuttle were such poor heat conductors you could grab them with bare hands seconds after pulling them from a 2200 degree oven.
Recorded this video during my KSC tour 1 day before the launch of the Atlantis Space Shuttle for STS-135, the last Space Shuttle mission.==Updated June 3, 20...
Blah, I gotta cut the sata plug for the CD drive on my old server. Then attach proper sata power connector to it so I can use onboard sata since my hba is eating shit.
Day 4 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Milano -> Lodi - 42 km, half of it stop-and-go in the suburbs of #Milano . 3 #ghostbikes within 1 km in the small village of Dresano. I dedicate this stage to all the #cyclers who were killed on the road.
I just added all three #ghostbikes (with photos) in three different spots in the small village of Dresano to #OpenStreetMap. None of them was already registered.
@thibaultmol Thanks for the addition. Your pictures will appear on @ghostbikebot as well and (if you linked your mastodon account from your OSM-account) it'll link to you as well
Gente bonica, están contratando en mi empresa un montón de perfiles, sobre todo de senior/lead (arte, C++ engineer, lighning, tools), y luego un rol que puede ser mid o junior, RPG designer.

You're splitting a piece of your favorite food with someone you love (pizza or cake or candy or whatever) and when cutting it one side is slightly bigger than the other - but close enough they probably won't notice.

I've been telling my wife she can make a ridiculous amount of money working on carpal tunnel / RSI issues for nerds -- probably more than working on pro/semi-pro athletes.
About that other post you posted. That's crazy, people get surgery when they don't need it? I have a arm issue, I thought it was that and the Doctor just touched the arm and asked a few simple questions and knew immediately it wasn't that
@coolboymew yes, they give out carpal tunnel surgeries like free candy here in the USA. I mean why not?
✅ Wrist/hand/arm hurts or numbness, mobility issues ✅ Patient has job or hobby that definitely causes RSI ✅ Patient is willing to try anything ✅ Insurance is gonna cover it
They just do it. They don't even make you try physical therapy to fix your arm by making you actually exercise it and improve the overall mobility.
You get the surgery, heal up, and you think it's better because you've rested your arm and hand for weeks.
And then it comes back with a vengeance because removing the sheath around the tendon (Tenosynovectomy) makes it get even more agitated.
@coolboymew for my own case, I’ve fixed that with 1) changing how I slept (yep 🤷♂️), and 2) physio therapy. YMMV but I’ve never thought about surgery.
Investing in more ergonomic hardware is also a cheap way to prevent these health issues.
fix your sleep, fix your posture, do some exercise, get a better ergonomic chair/desk/mouse/keyboard setup. Do the things you can do. Do some physical therapy and medical massage (not the spas, you're not going for a Swedish or something -- gotta find someone who knows what they're doing)
If none of that is helping, THEN maybe consider a surgical intervention
I wonder how many different computing projects and companies have been named after Berkeley, California, or its namesake university, over the decades. The most well-known is probably the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Unix variant. Then there's its commercial offshoot, Berkeley Software Design, Inc. (BSDi). In the 80s and 90s, there was Berkeley Systems, known for the After Dark screen savers for Macintosh, but also creators of the first ever GUI screen reader, OutSpoken, in 1989.
I'm reading _Dealers of Lightning_ by Michael Hiltzik, about Xerox PARC, and I learned about another company, Berkeley Computer Corporation, that developed an ambitious time-sharing computer from 1968 to 1970 or 1971. Some notable PARC folks, including Butler Lampson, Chuck Thacker (designer of PARC's Alto hardware), and Peter Deutsch, first teamed up at Berkeley Computer Corp.
There’s also the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing, or #BOINC for short. One of the first scientific distributed computing networks, and it is still going strong these days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley…
I've been trying to get the Department of Education to answer a question about my student loans since June. I submitted it in June and once every 2-3 weeks, I add something new to the support submission but I get nothing back. I know that there's probably nobody left in their support department (the orange dipshit fired them all) but I still can't believe it's taking this long to get a response.
I need y'all to do about ten minutes of research on Melville Dewey and then please... stop naming library related things after him.
To say that he was an odious person is merely a starting point in a proper description of his character. Your library mascot, your library cat, the stuffed squirrel in your library... they all deserve a better name than Melville or Dewey.
End of an era: Kevin Barry, the original developer of Nova Launcher, is no longer working on the project. The plans to open source the project have also been halted.
Nova Launcher was acquired by analytics company Branch back in 2022.
While waiting at a coworking space to meet someone I overheard this conversation:
"If leadership wants to adopt a management style of fear and aggressive oversight we should align across the board because I know some managers don't follow that. Studies show that a fearful work environment can motivate people to work faster. Our workforce will perform better if they fear losing their job"
seems like loads of people r listening to crap without questioning it and reproducing some narrow minded controll patterns🤦♀️ Yeahy, back into fascism Who would have thought that hostile environments r better than the one where u r respected, where u r taken serious, where u could connect and maybe be part of … Just reading would be soooo enough. There is so much research on that🤦♀️ who would have thought 🕳️
Many years ago I would take my little kids to an indoor playground at the mall. There was a small coffee shop right next to it where I'd get coffee. They had "free wifi" but you almost never could get on it.
One day I finally got an IP address and went to 192.168.1.1. One "admin/admin" later and I was managing the router. Typical consumer-grade WiFi router. 100 IPs, 24 hour leases. First 100 people each day got wifi. Then never again. I changed it to like 250 IPs and 10 minute leases. Prolly should have set it to at least a /20.
I told the coffee shop owner and he was very grateful. Got a free coffee out of it. 😃
@paco I've done similar actually!! And when my wife had a cafe I made sure that internet and wifi was solid. We had a lot of customers come study and buy stuff because the wifi was so reliable
@jesscanady oh yeah like once a week a jingle from decades ago pops in my head and I think "Nothing really does this anymore. Nobody has these kinds of advertising campaigns that become a permanent resident of your brain"
systemd's networking added a terrible feature to DHCP in Systemd v244 (2019-11-29):
It sends a RELEASE packet on shutdown.
So if you're restarting a server that uses DHCP and are running something like dnsmasq, it rips the DNS entry out of cache and the TTL is already super low (TTL=1) so now you can't ping the server by its hostname to watch it come online until it's actually back online. If you try too quickly, you'll end up with a negative cache entry which is even stupider.
I don't know what to do with how much I dislike AI and its relentless creep into my industry. The more I see of it, the more inevitable it seems, and the more alienated I feel from the software engineering industry.
It could very well push me out of the industry, not because it steals my job, but because it robs me of the joy I had for this work.
