One would think that the former GDR would be doing this instead.

Dunno about the artstyle: a lot of 90s to early-2000s 3d shooters had that grimy look, perhaps to show off the textures. But the jacket and the casually lowered gun definitely factored into the recognition.

Reportedly, establishing a rudimentary signing language helps in communication until the child has proper motor skills for speech. However, it’s important to not overly rely on signing to the detriment of language development.

Just FYI, if you just use Firefox in both OSes, you can sync the tabs, history, and extension settings. Though I’ve seen the opinion that Safari works faster, but OTOH extension developers are unhappy with Apple’s publishing/vetting process, and some devs dropped support for Safari that they provided previously.

I wonder if iOS and watchOS being macOS in miniature means that the terminal can be used on them natively, like on Android.

those little pop ups for the space and g menus

Emacs has this with the Hydra plugin, iirc. Particularly, Doom Emacs already has this feature packaged.

Zsh probably can’t do that, because zsh is involved with typing commands, not handling their output. You should look into the docs and settings for your terminal emulator — some of them do support selecting output with the keyboard. Alternatively, something like tmux might be able to handle that too.

Try Vimium if you use Firefox, Chrome, or something Chromium-based. Invoking links with ‘f’ and a couple letters is so comfortable that I now get mad when the addon doesn’t work on Mozilla’s sites (due to security concerns) or when a site has ‘links’ implemented with JS.

Actually seems more coherent that way.

It’s likely much faster to fetch the common feed from the database cache or prepared cache like Redis, and apply all this additional data in the app, than do uncached joins. So I’d hope that the apps do this. Especially since you say they use Redis, which of course doesn’t do joins and such, unless something changed in the past years.

Might wanna check which publication this post links to.

TBF ½ slowdown is an extreme case. I’m mostly using the speed of around 0.7-0.8.

DJ turntables allow variable speed, afaik — which was employed back in the eighties to turn techno into slower and sexier Belgian new-beat. But they aren’t quite consumer-grade devices, of course.

Obligatory: ‘Rules for Rulers’ is a very condensed summary of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith’s ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’.

Fun fact: the original Vol. 1 and 2 were made by a dude who had an actual turntable with a ‘16 rpm’ setting. It wasn’t slowed down digitally.

Though using about the same trick works well with some other records, as I mentioned in the post from yesterday: particularly fast idm or edm. VLC’s realtime speed adjustment is alright (with the pitch correction disabled), and from command-line tools sox produced best sound for me, while ffmpeg’s output was rather poor. Idk about Audacity.

The band have arguably made some of their best material during the time when most of them were on heroin, even if just on and off, the band’s future was very precarious, and they turned to songs of their childhood years to both fulfill contractual obligation and get some spiritual jolt from the stupor. It’s no coincidence that most of the songs chosen are originally either bright and optimistic, or have wistful melancholy to them — in the time when many of Chipmunks’ peers preferred grungy sound to counter the eighties’ excess. This diversion and infusion of nostalgia for youthful cheer might’ve been what saved the band and let them continue their legacy, perhaps even giving the members some renewed appreciation of life.

Haven’t played ‘Max Payne’ in twenty years, completely forgot what it looks like in-game, and still the first thought from the screenshot was “Max Payne”.

To add to other answers, the result for the ‘all’ feed is likely to be cached, either explicitly by the server app or implicitly by the database. Personal feeds are less likely to be cached, since they’re only used by individual users.

Strictly speaking, the db might be looking in an index to choose rows by the communities — but using such a condition is pretty much guaranteed to be slower than not using it, anyway.

The actual answer depends on the actual database organization, of course. Ideally the whole database should be organized around frequent queries.

I remember when Wine was in alpha for twelve years (and then beta for three more). Was surprised to learn that it finally exited that stage, some time ago already.
