Maybe 3x faster, but because Energy = mass × speed SQUARED, you die 9x harder.

Just the right speed for high-speed trains.

If this actually means geoguessr is available for a onetime payment, I'm all for it.

The proper meaning of CDU has long been Club Deutscher Unternehmer.

So true. Every time I have to look up how to write a bash for loop. Where does the semicolon go? Where is the newline? Is it terminated with done? Or with end? The worst part with bash is that when you do it wrong, most of the time there is no error but something completely wrong happens.

Dear US-Americans, it is time to form a new, progressive party.

It's the part in the video where you can see the Linux Desktop.

 

I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Lemmy is open source, so you can easily download its source code and open it in neovim :)

The article only summarizes it shortly, but the parallels to the Munich Agreement from 1938 are really scary.

Hitler's aim was to take over all of Czechoslovakia by breaking it apart. The subject of the Munich Agreement was the Sudetenland, the region bordering Germany. Before there were some votes and local political forces expressing the wish of the German minority in the Sudetenland to create an independent state (See the parallels with DNR, LNR and Crimea). This was used by Hitler to justify taking over the region. Suddenly it wasn't about independence anymore, but about inclusion into Germany.

The Czechoslovakian government in Prague obviously hated the idea, but they were not invited to the talks in Munich. Only afterwards were they made aware of the decision that would be imposed on their nation. Who was invited was fellow fascist Mussolini from Italy, as well as France and UK, who gave in and signed this agreement, giving international support to Germany just taking over parts of neighboring nations.

Their reasoning was, if they were to disagree, Hitler would assert his will by force and take Czechoslovakia militarily, starting a large European war (that is also the reason Prague was forced to accept the decision: the alternative was a war they could never win, they could not count on any outside help). This was the so-called appeasement policy by the UK. They bought "peace" in exchange for territories they didn't own but felt the right to decide over. We all know how this heavily-priced peace turned out. At most it gave the allied forces one more year to prepare for WWII.

Reminds me of the beginning of Zelenskys presidency in 2020 when he refused the deal with Trump to investigate Hunter Biden. Trump really believes he can get Ukraine to do anything for him.

Just wait until they figure out how much carbon is captured by planting a tree.

 

Now that Advent of Code 2024 has concluded, I wanted to get people's opinion on what puzzles they especially liked looking back. This could be because of the puzzle mechanics, the description, because you are especially proud of your solution that day, or for any other reason.

Feel free to answer even if you only saw part of the puzzles.

My picks would be:

  • 14 (Restroom Redoubt, robots moving into christmas tree shape). Even though it caught me off-guard in the moment, I did like that part 2 had this very imprecise requirement for once. Definitely made for varied, creative solutions.
  • 15 (Warehouse Woes, robots pushing boxes) The second part was a fairly big complexity spike with just a minor change in the tasks. Basically a form of simulation where the hard part is finding a good data representation for the setup. I liked this one because debugging was such a visual process for me, by printing the grids.
  • 17 (Chronospatial Computer, running a machine code) For me the first really tricky one, but still doable. These assembly puzzles are just neat. A lot of computation is started with a pretty small input, and the task is basically to really understand how this "computer" works.

What have been your favorites?

In its current plan, the EU commission intends to cut €27 million in funding for Free Software. The article has a link to a questionnaire that you can fill out and express your opinion about the plan. I believe non-EU citizens can participate as well.
