I do find it an interesting choice. Normally, you'd put a comma there, but you could also use a colon. If you combine comma and colon, you do get a semicolon.

Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it's a factorization then.
Well, yeah, but it does also say that he was born in "Austria-Hungary (present-day Serbia)".
I mean, OP did respond by now, so I guess, it isn't about that guy either way, but don't think my brain did too bad of a job. 🙃
I'm guessing, it's about this guy?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Du%C5%A1ko_Popov
Do not ask me why my brain remembers shit like that...
If that works for you, then that's great. I'm not saying folks have to get into podcasts, I'm just explaining how I find them useful now. I did not get them for a long time either, because I had wrong expectations for them.
And well, I also happen to work as a software dev, but my brain hates when I have to process words that I hear, while also processing words that are on my screen.So, my own 6h of music per day is generally without vocals, or at least vocals that I've heard many times before or which are in a foreign language, so that my brain doesn't have to process them.
And that probably makes my music collection comparatively unengaging. I guess, I also don't grab new music often enough to make it engaging that way.With all that combined, music is kind of largely relegated to the background thing for me, and podcasts are a foreground thing, when I can't look at a screen.
Again, just explaining how they work for me. It does sound like music could take the foreground role for you.
WYPINWYG?
I mean, do you watch videos? I find, they fill the same role, but for when you can't look at a screen.
I often walk to work now and just listen to a podcast on the way. Or if I'm cleaning or sewing or, well, I don't paint so far, but I imagine, they're excellent for that, too.Lots of handiwork stopped being boring, since I've gotten into podcasts.
But yes, obviously also just pick better podcasts. One of the podcasts I listen to, is just interesting/fun science topics being presented and discussed. That's not low-effort at all...
Oh no, there's probably stock traders that sell, because Jupiter's about to do a loop, and then there's other stock traders that know those stock traders will sell, so they'll try to sell before.
Even if none of them actually believed into astrology, they would still sell, because they assume others will sell.
Ah, that does make a lot of sense, yeah. Thanks!
I'm not aware of any such example. I'm not an expert, so could be wrong and the terminology in the following could wrong, but just to give you an idea:
- If the species are genetically too different, it can already be a problem that the reproduction organs don't match. For example, human sperm can't even try to inseminate a chicken egg, because the egg shell simply blocks it.This is a fairly obvious example, but even at microscopic scale, the sperm may not be compatible with the egg cell.
- Then you've got the problem that the DNA needs to be combined in some fashion. If you've got a different number of chromosomes, that will cause problems.
- But even if a successful insemination were to take place and a fetus develops, there's a very high chance that the gene combination of e.g. a human and a chicken just does not develop into something that can survive. It might have a chicken heart in a human-sized body and just can't pump enough blood to survive. All kinds of things like that can go wrong.
In general, nature is messy. It does not care about our definition of a species. But yeah, the chance of inter-species offspring is just very low when the species are very different.
Had a refinement yesterday, where we decided that we should add all tickets of an epic individually into the milestone (except for two).And for whatever reason, our project manager had decided to use the in-browser split view and was struggling against that, but also just was about to do it in some cumbersome way. I think, he wanted to manually compare the list of issues in the epic vs. the milestone.
Either way, I could tell that he'd need 10+ seconds to even get started. And telling him how to do it would probably take equally long. So, I just open each issue of the epic in a new tab and check on each tab that the issue is in the milestone or add it, then close the tab. And yep, I was long done when he was still trying to find the issue list for the milestone.
That was certainly one of those moments. 🫠
He isn't entirely familiar with that issue tracking UI, so it's fine, and of course, it is my job to be good with computers and all that, but still felt wild that he could've easily needed ten times as long to do the same thing.
Last week, some LLM bot commented under one of our issues and it became apparent pretty quickly, that it is a bot. So, I went to report it (incredibly the report menu did say they want reports for bots).
I filled out the reporting form probably five times in total, trying at different times of the day. Every time, I got an error 500 (Internal Server Error) as response.Later, I checked my mails, and saw that actually two of my reports did go through, meaning I created two tickets on their side.
What those mails also said: They're very sorry, if it takes longer, since they're currently experiencing a higher number of reports.
Gee, I wonder why.
Well, the guy did say "briefly", so if you drive into the water with speed and the right direction, you might theoretically not need to propel yourself nor steer...
Yeah, I do kind of hate the word "train" for that reason. It just makes it sound like the animal is braindead and all the effort was on the trainer's side.
In reality, it's much more of a communication problem. You need to explain to the animal without using speech that you will reward it for a specific action. And then you need to explain that you will do this repeatedly and not just today either. Well, and the animal has to actually want whatever reward you're giving it, too.
So much training advice seems to just boil down to communicating clearly and not breaking the contract of "do the thing → get reward"...
My doctor told me that vitamin B12 deficiency is common these days, because we get B12 from bacteria that live in dirt and with how cleanly our food is now, you just don't get the occasional dirt in your diet anymore (and the animals you might consume don't really get that either).
So, maybe¹ eating dirt might actually be healthy.
¹) Okay, no. Get B12 supplements. They're almost as cheap as dirt and don't give you illnesses.

hello [at] fossify.org.The problem with these kind of arguments is always that animals also eat plants. If the animals are grazing 100% of the time, then maybe you don't get pesticides with that (you certainly still get cow shit). But the meat industry does now regularly feed soy and corn to the animals, to bulk them up as quickly as possible, so in the end you get antibiotics, feces, digested feces and pesticides altogether.
Having a third arm, so you can continue typing and also facepalm at the same time does seem quite good.
Yeah, true. To both, your correction and your caveat. 😅
