Monaco penalties being reviewed after shock error revealed in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] roflo1@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

I’m not a Russell fan, but if the Alpine penalty is reverted… you gotta feel bad for RUS. It would mean he was penalized for not serving a penalty that he didn’t commit.

OTOH, Gasly deserves more points for his efforts.

Newey to step down as Aston Martin F1 team principal, Wheatley set to join from Audi in c/formula1@lemmy.world
[–] roflo1@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

Strike that... apparently it's not a rumour any more:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/ckg05py1zneo

Audi team principal Jonathan Wheatley has left the team with immediate effect.

and

He will have to serve a period of 'gardening leave' before joining another team, the length of which will have to be negotiated between himself, Audi and potentially a future employer.

Yeah, but AM kinda need a team principal right now .

Anyway, I'll keep treating it as rumour for the time being, but according to BBC sports :

However, Wheatley's existing contract with Audi means it could be some time before he is able to join Aston Martin.

Why is 35-44 shown twice?

Is it a spectrum? Or a true/false? (piefed.social)
 

I don’t know if I have it. And a bunch of quizzes and articles don’t seem to answer my questions. So here goes…

I can “picture” a lot of things. But more often than not, these depictions are not really “visual”.

I was intrigued when (about 10 years ago) my SO said that she could close her eyes and it was just like if someone turned on a projector behind her eyes. I’ve never experienced anything like that.

If I’m asked to picture a red apple, I will believe that I did just that. But I don’t “see” a color. You might say that I experience the feeling associated with “red”.

And some times it’s the opposite. I recall a feeling, but it turns to shapes and colors in my mind (though I still wouldn’t describe it nearly as “vivid” as actually seeing something colorful).

Even more, if someone describes a scene, I can “redraw” it in my mind, but it might resemble an impressionist painting. Or I “see” lines gradually sketching something on paper.

Remembering real experiences do “draw” something in my mind, first with muted colors, and then I superimpose the appropriate colors on top.

Somehow colors seem to be involved in some way or another (I’m terrible at picking colors that “look good”, even when I have them in front of me).

Maybe I do have aphantasia. Or maybe I’m looking too much into it. Any thoughts?

Are there ANY debuggers for Linux, that has a GUI in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] roflo1@piefed.social 4 points 6 months ago

What options have you tried that you find half-baked?

When I’m not in the mood for gdb’s CLI/TUI, I often use KDbg, Nemiver, or just good old CodeBlocks.

I do that very often. I’ve found that people’s expressions are a lot less “stiff” that way.

Edit: it’s entirely possible I started doing it after I read this comic for the first time.

[solved] Why is there no .gz.tar? in c/linuxquestions@lemmy.zip
[–] roflo1@piefed.social 22 points 8 months ago

I’ll try to explain it in another way. First, let’s talk about “semantics”:

Usually we assume that a tarball contains multiple files, and a gz is a single file compressed.

So a .tar.gz file is a single tarball that has been compressed.

A .gz.tar is understood to be a tarball containing a single gzipped file. But if that’s indeed what the file is, it doesn’t make much sense to tar it in the first place.

Moving on to what you really want to accomplish: you can certainly create many gz files and tar them, but we wouldn’t call it a .gz.tar file since tar doesn’t care about the format of the included files. Much like a bunch of compressed PDFs aren’t named .pdf.tar

Also, I’d like to point out that neither tarballs nor gzipped files are optimized for modifying.
