Yea there is a lot of bad translations out there including movie subtitles. Here in Switzerland they usually have double subtitles in the cinema if you want to watch the original dub. So you can be annoyed at both the French and German translations at the same time.

Games and Websites tend to be worse though. Yesterday I followed a link to a Heise article, and linked was the English version. It was genuinley hard to grasph in some paragraphs. Switching to German made it much clearer. Not because I understand German better, my grasp of English is good. It was because the English writing was just bad, and didn’t convey the original intent of the German version.

Most often it’s not that the translations are wrong in content, but just contain very unnatural use of the target language.

That the various new and inventive grid scale energy storage solutions people are trying out won’t end up being better than just building big chemical batteries. Sodium Ion will probably be good enough and cheap enough.

I don’t think this community is meant for rhetorical questions.

If I had driven a truck, tgere would’ve been laws for me to drive normal hours. This was a cowboy job.

This year the EU rules on driving times and rest times start applying to delivery vans too. I guess the sort of time abuse you experienced was quite common.

I’m not sure the janitor would encounter those less than the radio operator…

Sounds like bullshit to me. Godot is under MIT license, so anyone is free to re-license any derivative work.

Edit: I read the rest of the article. The author has no idea what they are writing. It’s not even internally consistent. If the game was open source already why would people be decompiling the binaries? To get a worse version of the source code with automatically derived variable names and no comments?

And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)

Maintenance went so quickly we managed to travel back home in the same day and don’t need to stay at the hotel

I got a Technoline WL1030 meter for my room and whenever it reaches 1500 ppm CO2 I open the window until its back down below about 600-700, then I close it to not waste more heat than necessary

Edit: To give some more context, my room is 14 m^2 and about 2.50m high so roughly 35 m^3 of air minus some occupied by furniture call it 30 m^3 maybe. It is a modern house with good insulation and energy retention rating (built to the “Minergie” standard we have here in Switzerland), but without forced air, so not much air is exchanged when the windows are closed. With this I end up roughly having to exchange the air every three hours or so.

I was recently thinking, this recruitment drive must be heaven for the common proud boys brownshirt.

Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.

For me cuda was painful. I did the well documented commands, rebooted and had no output on my laptop screen anymore. Probably a complication due to Optimus, but still…

Victoria Fisher or Victoria Fierce, called differently in different places online, I think that Fierce is more current.

How the hell did he arrive at the conclusion there was some sort of one-drop rule for non-protected works.

Just because the registration is blocked if you don’t specify which part is the result of human creativity, doesn’t mean the copyright on the part that is the result of human creativity is forfeit.

Copyright exists even before registration, registration just makes it easier to enforce. And nobody says you can’t just properly refile for registration of the part that is the result of human creativity.

They are good for discoverability, but suck when you have to do the same thing 5 times.

There’s tons of search focused ones, which is weird to me. If you want a normal layout with folders then I suggest you go with Lawnchair: https://lawnchair.app/

There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I’m guessing it’s one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name / handle.
