I don’t think German Stichwörter (compound words) count because it’s just switching which is the adjective and noun part of the compound.


As for single-character swaps: Czech has interní (internal; mostly in professional settings) and niterní (core, inner; mostly psychological, spiritual), both of which are synonyms to vnitřní (internal; general use) in their own ways. It’s a coincidence, the etymologies are completely different.


In some languages the base layer of the number row is taken up by weird characters so people prefer the numpad to holding Shift, and laptops without one sell poorly


I don’t see any clear giveaways but the bagel cups’ shadows look very much not parallel. It could be a wide-angle lens doing its thing though.


It’s been covered extensively. Look up “cars rule 34”.
Python needs whitespace tho


Only counting known species, about 200-2000 go extinct each year. But the number could be an order of magnitude higher, according to WWF, the authority on biodiversity preservation. Even for the known species, who checks if every microbe, moss or tropical spider has been seen in the past 50 years?
Also, good luck getting people to care about invertebrates. Even if we identify which species went extinct, people will soon be bored hearing daily to weekly about a Hydroidolina member once seen in a South American bog. They’d change the channel to Fox News where they’ll be told about three animals once falsely declared extinct and how WWF are alarmists. “DoN’t ThEy rEaLiZe aNiMaLs mOvE? DiD ThEy ChEcK eVeRy BoG?” Or if the host is a tech bro: “HoW MuCh DaTa’S ThE DnA? i’LL GiVe YoU a GiGaByTe EvErY DaY iF YoU ShUt Up.”


Yes, the timing and balance does not change whether the source is directly in front of, behind, above or below you, but people still tell these apart somehow. I think it’s the frequency response of sound from different directions reflecting off earlobes.
You are correct. Good that being blinded instantly makes your finger super sensitive to rows of dots and you speak perfect Spanish.
⠝⠕⠞⠕⠉⠁⠞ means “notocat” though. I prefer ⠽⠑⠎⠀⠞⠕⠀⠉⠁⠞ but anyway, “do not touch” would be ⠙⠕⠀⠝⠕⠞⠀⠞⠕⠥⠉⠓


QR codes can have arbitrary looks even without dirty tricks (abusing the error correction to add a logo or taking advantage of central sampling to color all but the middle 3x3 square of each data pixel) but boy, is it hard.
Examples:
https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/31694735/18805217 (strings a long number in Number mode (3 decimal digits per 10 bits) to the URL, and somehow the resulting number turns out to be a small even number times a very high power of 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkWjzqMbuA (uses padding bytes plus maybe some of that “intentional damage” in QR codes with logos)


It is designed to especially penalize ⬜⬛⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜, which is a part of the finder pattern (big squares in the corners) and the swastika.


fediversesearch.com another site uses a similar Google trick but instead of a specific domain, it filters by footer text that appears in the default Lemmy UI such as “Modlog”.
So much “nerd” paraphernalia is BS… This one is ridiculous (one doesn’t get to “be a programmer” by sorting and collecting 10 personality traits as if they’re goals or achievements) but at least it shows varied syntax in the C language: the number of unique keywords is very high.
To show you’re a nerd, don’t go with obvious “look, this is what I am” but use dogwhistles (Conway’s Game of Life or fractals can look like knitting patterns) or to be obvious, some things you personally like or made. Badge with your distro’s logo or mascot, code you actually wrote or its output, wearable blinkenlights project… Just be more focused on your interests than yourself.
#define unlocked endl
Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke
You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is
int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);
To get the length of an array in C, it’s necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!
BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you’re bored.
Here are some of the missing pixels:



Depends on what the angel would say in his schizophrenia-induced converstions. Either they’d refuse it outright or insist on a custom-trained model on public domain religious texts (and there’s not enough of those to make a model with unique, coherent output, so not much better than the random word generator).
Many streets are not like this, unfortunately. On some sidewalks it’s impossible to pass a person in the other direction just so that cars can drive and park all the way to Prague Castle. At one spot, the sidewalk is completely blocked by a vertical “citylight” billboard, thankfully there’s a dirt path around. And Magistrála (inner city highway) was the biggest planning failure, ruining valuable land around the main train station and dozens of streets. Also, there’s at least two road-legal, almost stock Cybertrucks for some reason. In short, Prague is one of the most car-brained cities despite the very dense tram network. This is unlikely to change in the next 4 years, since the Minister of Transport and Minister of Environment is a Motorist party member now (one person because the party couldn’t produce another that would pass a basic sanity check).
