I found that Elder Bug would pretty much always just tell you where to go

I find that their take on psytrance has a lot more going on than the usual rave stuff. Theyve been published a few times by Monstercat which shows that they fit more into this - for lack of a better word - “gaming” EDM.

Incorrect four-way Venn diagram. There is, for example, no intersection of exclusively Preachers and Bank Robbers.

(The meme is still amazing though)

What’s most impressive are his animations. This is on his main YouTube channel. Really good stuff.

Our current ML Neural Networks work (simplified) like this: A neuron emits a number and the next neuron calculates a new number to emit based on all the values given to it by other neurons as inputs. Our brain can’t fire numbers in this way. So there’s a fundamental difference. Bridging this difference to create NNs that are more similar to our brains is the basis of the study of Spiking Neural Networks. Their performance so far isn’t great, but it’s an interesting topic of research.

I dont see why, tbh. This feature is only needed by users of tiling WMs with (super)ultrawide monitors. A niche in a niche. Normal floating WMs work fine with ultrawide monitors, you are constantly resizing and moving windows around anyway and simple snapping takes care of the rest. Windows 11 even lets you snap exactly into the setup described above.

Also, there are good plugins for supporting tiling for GNOME (I know its in PopOS, not sure how to get it into the normal one) , KDE, and even Windows

One thing that has been stopping me from switching to Wayland is that I have a 32:9 screen and usually virtually divide into a 16:9 in the middle and then an 8:9 on each side. This works well enough on Xorg.

I would love to see this implemented in Hyprland and I opened an issue for it a while back. The maintainer says that the workload seems too large and he is uninterested. I’ve racked up quite a few upvotes though and it seems like quite a lot of people would be interested in this.

I’ve glanced over the code and I think it shouldn’t be extremely difficult to add a layer of indirection between workspaces and monitors as an initial PoC. Dont get me wrong, this will still take more than a week to get running which is why I sadly havent found the time to do this myself.

If you could maybe look into it there may be possibilities to split up the work a bit. I dream of a world where you can dynamically add and remove virtual outputs and it’s all animated - very long way to go until then.

Yes. But the alternative is to feel the IUD penetrate the cervix and then hook into the uterus. And if youre getting a replacement, like was the case for her, you get to go through all of that backwards beforehand as well. It makes a prick from a syringe (although painful) seem pretty good by comparison.

My girlfriend was looking to get a new IUD after her last one was expiring. For some reason the normal approach is completely without anaesthesia. There are so many horror stories of women being in awful pain during and up to weeks after the procedure. She looked around for a gynecologist with a focus on contraception (most focus on conception which is kind of annoying if you’re not at that stage in life yet) and we were able to find one. He said there’s no reason to not be using local anaesthesia. The procedure was very simple. Unbelievable how many women are going through pain that would be entirely preventable.

Considering the position Germany has in the EU, this is very unlikely

It’s actually not legal in the Netherlands, it’s a very strange and frankly kind of bad set up. This is what the other commenter meant with “fake legalization”.

You can read up on it here: https://cannigma.com/regulation/marijuana-laws-netherlands/

The issues here are largely with the EU which stops it from being sold in stores. For now, possession is legalised and you can have all previous arrests made because you were carrying up to 25g permanently removed from your record. It also legal to grow at home.

In this sense, it is legal for personal use but not for commercial use. To get access to weed, they will be rolling out “cannabis social clubs” in summer in which you need to be a member to be allowed to buy weed. These clubs are not allowed to make a profit. There is a plan to later do some tests with commercial usage but its not clear where that is on the roadmap.

It will be interesting to see if this will have any effects on the EU. I can imagine if more countries want to support the legalization that some hurdles can be removed there.

I have running shorts that have an extra inlay which functions as sort of underwear. So I dont feel as if Im going commando but I kind of am. In winter I go commando in leggings and wear the shorts on top to cover up a bit. If youre not going commando you should put thought into what material youre going to wear as underpants because not being breathable in your crotch area, especially on a bike is going to be extremely uncomfortable.

I think Rust actually is actually among the best in this regard for the simple reason that there is consistency given by the compiler. A simple cargo fmt and cargo build will fix or warn you about everything. I can read into Rust codebases so quickly. C++ was always really exhausting because most of the time you were just getting used to the code style.

I’ll go against the grain a bit here and say that I found this game to be very boring.

The combat is bad, the puzzles are boring and repetitive.

What the game does well is atmosphere and storytelling. It’s mostly a monologue of the main character which is performed quite well but that’s not what I look for in a game.

I personally play much more fast-paced games so it simply didn’t cater to me.

but if 100,000 people try, it will probably find a false match at some point

Which is fine, because if 100,000 people made an attempt to guess a four-digit password, someone would almost certainly guess it right (probabity is more than 99.99%). If four-digit codes are the fallback, then the fingerprint just has to not offer worse security.

I’ve been to both school with and without uniforms. As I said, I only witnessed bullying based on clothing in the schools with uniforms.

For the schools that did, I often bought mine discounted or second hand, and still I’ve yet to be bullied about my clothing compared to when I only had my dilapidated wardrobe

I still don’t understand why money put towards uniform could not have been put towards better leisure clothing.

I’ve been consistently bullied less often in schools that have a uniform, regardless of the topic.

I neither believe that school uniforms create more bullies, nor do I believe that all schools with uniforms are bad. I think that uniforms are a huge waste of time and money that makes many children miserable - of course some will also like it, as you have made quite clear.

You could argue that this is correlation and not causation

Whether uniforms are normal or not really depends on the local culture so there could be any number of things at play of why there was less bullying or why you may have felt more comfortable in general. Attributing everything to uniforms sounds reductive.

For the vast majority of the world, uniforms are the norm and even mandatory in many countries.

The vast majority of countries also still use corporal punishment. I don’t value their opinions on education.

There is a reason why schools, hospitals, soldiers, and prisons have uniforms

to legitimize an institution and instill discipline.

Do doctors and nurses need to be taught discipline? Prisons use the lack of individuality as part of a punishment. Wearing something stupid is supposed to make you unhappy. For military this is true though but these are adults who know what they are getting themselves into. These aren’t angsty teenagers trying to find out who they are and instead being forced to wear things they hate.

When schools are already understaffed and underfunded, the lack of a uniform makes it even harder to keep students in line. When students wear uniforms, their individuality stops being just about how they look and starts being about how they want to be perceived by others through their actions.

In the school where I had to wear a uniform there were quite a lot of children from socioeconomically disadvantaged homes. There were quite a lot of kids who acted out and made life difficult for teachers and other students. There was far less of this in the schools without uniforms. It’s a socioeconomic thing. Uniforms don’t change that.

In Melbourne, Australia there were stores like that in pretty much every shopping center and they would just have all the usual colours and you would buy the ones your school wanted you to.

They would have different fabrics at different price points. We all looked the same from afar but there were differences up close.

I find it interesting that there weren’t any sets with the school logo at your school. My school used these to raise a bit of money and would buy them back and sell them second-hand as well when you were done.

I think you are making a blanket statement about uniform systems and attributing all the bad things from a few to all of them.

I already touched on this and said that the best ones are the ones that give you the most freedoms. The very most freedom is had without any uniforms at all.

I would know because I spent a good 5 years living on just two suitcases drifting from home to home

How did this look when you moved somewhere with uniforms? You probably had to buy new uniforms and you would be able to give them away when you moved away again. That money could have been put towards buying something newer and nicer for yourself instead.

Saying “there will always be something to bully” as a counterpoint to how bullies will always find something to bully is pretty dismissive to how much it hurts to be bullied for one’s appearances.

The problem is that one’s appearance isn’t just the clothes you wear. How much does it hurt to get bullied for facial features, hair, skin colour, accent, pimples, issues possibly related to a disability? Bullies can also just pick any part of your body and make fun of that because most people dont have a perfect body. Everyone has something that is not perfectly adherring to body standards.

I just don’t see any reason to believe that uniforms would make it more “difficult” to bully in any way. Bullies don’t blanket bully everyone who wears X or does Y. They are predatory and choose specific type of person to bully and then just fling everything at them and see to what that person reacts.

I get that being bullied for your clothes may not look a big deal to you because you’re a grown adult. But that’s not how many teenage minds work. Small things like that can be detrimental to their self esteem.

I totally understand that. But the only time I, personally, ever saw someone get bullied for their clothes was when that person was wearing uniform that was in clearly poor condition because that kid had it really rough at home. On the other hand, I’ve noticed people attempting to bully me for traits of my personality. They weren’t satisfied with my reaction so they went on to bully someone else instead but the point still stands. Could school uniform have protected me from that? Does school uniform make me less nerdy?

I’m sorry you had to go through all of that growing up and I hope you’re over it now. I just feel like you’re giving school uniform too much credit.
