@kushal it's a classic Swedish "toungue twister" Sju sjösjuka sjömän på det sjunkande skeppet Shanghai. - Seven seasick sailors on the sinking ship “Shanghai”.
Dnes by to byl hřích při takovém cyklo počasí nejít na kolo. Za chvíli vyrážím do Německa, tak nic dlouhého. Taková pohodovka 🚴😊 #cyklo #cyklo_vylet #cykling #strava #sport
@peterkotrcka Zítra jdu do rachoty, tak vyrážím vždy den před. Teď jen na tři dny to bude skoro jak na otočku. Jinak já už toho moc nevypiju 🤷🏼♂️ Ale byly doby, kdy i 8 kousků denně jsem dal 😀
@peterkotrcka Aha, tohle neznám. Já mám penzion kousek od Dachau, ale práci přímo v Mnichově. Tak příští měsíc už bude tiket za 49 euro po celém Německu, to bude moc vyrazit.
The biggest filer of patents for the past 30 years is IBM and no one considers them an innovative company. OTOH, the GPT craze was spurred by a paper written by Google researchers not a patent.
Also I have first hand knowledge from holding 20 patents. Innovation is unrelated.

2016. El gobierno de España, en su lucha contra el fraude, usa imágenes satelitales para detectar impagos de IBI por inmuebles ampliados o directamente nuevos, piscinas incluidas.
Tras una primera batida satelital, que puede contener errores, se lanzaba un dron que realizaba mediciones esta vez precisas.
Se detectaron 1,69 millones de inmuebles infractores y pudieron recaudarse 1254 millones de euros defraudados por nuestros vecinos más egoístas. 👏
Por cada euro que costó el proyecto, se recaudaron unos 16 de IBI.
Para sorpresa de nadie, las inspecciones en busca de delincuentes se pagan solas.
Hacienda ha descubierto 1,69 millones de inmuebles en España que no habían tributado gracias a un rastreo desde el aire por satélite y drones en más de 4.340 municipios. Éste es el
This book series isn’t my thing, but this is a very compelling write up for anyone looking to read something fantastical and dramatic. (Naomi Novik's Scholomance trilogy). pluralistic.net/2023/03/29/hob…
I really enjoyed books 1 and 2, and wasn't aware book 3 was out. Really enjoyed them. So thanks for bringing this to my attention. It's really good stuff.
True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22’ has earned in its entire history?” And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.” And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?” And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”

THREAD: Hi! Just released a new version of buf-list (a segmented list of byte chunks -- imagine a `Vec<u8>` that isn't a single contiguous allocation.) The big new feature is a new `Cursor` type, which can wrap an owned or borrowed `BufList` to implement `Read`, `BufRead` and `Seek`, and optionally their async versions.
As you might imagine, a BufList's cursor is significantly more complicated than the standard library's cursor (which only works on contiguous sequences of bytes). There's a lot of tricky fiddling with indexes and numbers involved.
How do we know we didn't make a mistake? Manually testing everything is almost certain to miss something, so we need a more systematic way to ensure correctness.
Enter property-based tests! They're a fantastic way to generate random inputs to your operations and test them.
At a very basic level, we can assert a pretty simple property: that our code never panics no matter what sorts of inputs we get. We can do that by generating a random BufList and a random sequence of operations, then applying those operations.
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Just did a simple PR that changed a Ellipsis Char that does not display well on Arch Linux TTY (because it is a newer char), to 3 dots. A simple change.
It was not approved (after much time), although, in all the rest of the source code, 3 dots are used (3 dots is used 26 times in the source code). There is only one instance of the Ellipsis char, and it was this that the PR was changing to 3 dots.
The default one. I don't even know how to change the font of the TTYs, if we're talking about the ctrl+alt+f1 ones. In X, I use Konsole with Jetbrains Mono.

A rather long-winded, rambling #BlogPost, in which I try to jot down some of my thoughts about the impact of my choice to leave Twitter, and to spend more time in the fediverse, from the point of view of getting new clients (I'm a solicitor).
For me, so far, the fediverse is definitely on par with Twitter from this point of view.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).

Recently, I uploaded a video from Bell Laboratories, Inc. featuring the first example of synthesized computer speech. Regrettably, this was the first upload of mine to receive a copyright violation. However, this was not due to the content of the record itself, but rather due to someone who had sampled parts of the record and used them in their own song. As far as I understood, YouTube's copyright and content ID match requires original creations that do not contain samples from another recording.
I conducted research to determine who now owned all of Bell Labs' patents and copyrights and discovered that it was Nokia. I was able to submit a form for licensing requests via their website and explained the nature of my channel and the copyright problem I had encountered while trying to showcase their record on YouTube.
To my pleasant surprise, Nokia was incredibly accommodating and granted me a no-charge lifetime license, on the condition that I add the message "Courtesy of Nokia Corporation and AT&T Archives" to the video, which I was more than willing to do.
Unfortunately, this process required me to edit the video and re-upload it. However, it is now up once again, and the copyright has been filed with the claimant, including all details of the license I received from Nokia.

In the spirit of "I have Christianity-trauma and major holidays suck," I have decided to share my pain.
Specifically, my book MOST LIKELY to piss the average Christian off is on sale this week for 25% off.
Because sometimes it's fun to be petty like that.
Starting later today and running through Saturday, Safer Sex for the Non-Monogamous (ebook version) is on sale for $3.75 USD in as many places as I can manage.
How CS gets things wrong in the long term: I'm talking with @psu_13 about Modula-3 and #Ada (making my #pascal video last week got me thinking about these languages) and I said something like "I remember hating Modula-2 specifically because as a young person I wanted to write programs without actually doing any planning or forethought or actual software design" and he killed me with the following words:
"I think the funniest thing about things like Ada and Common Lisp were how back in the day they were thrown away because they were so "hopelessly bloated" and we should stick to "small and easy to understand" languages so we ended up with C++ and Javascript instead."
Recorded for the 1951 movie "Distant Drums," the Wilhelm Scream has since been used in films and TV shows including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Simpsons, and hundreds more.
Es ist ja nicht so, dass wir nicht schon länger vom Vendor-Lock-In gewarnt hätten. Nun hat Microsoft ihren Cloud-Kunden am 1. April ganz unironisch ein Preiserhöhung-Ei gelegt.
