Hmm, strange, it's working for me, whether I visit the lemmy.ml page or the lemmy.world page...

Hmm, it embeds the MP4 for me. Are you using the Lemmy webpage or some app?

Well, their review process and requirements for sourcing should ensure that it's factually accurate, no matter how it came to be. I imagine, they also have broader policies already, like that the submitter has to ensure factual accuracy and that they own the copyright.

This explicit ban is presumably just because the other policies got violated so frequently, when an LLM was in use. Well, and maybe they also got tired of reviewing as much texts as the LLMs produce. Unfortunately, the article is paywalled, so I am just spitballing...

I always thought openSUSE's package manager zypper has quite a few neat ideas:

  • It offers two-letter shorthands for subcommands, so zypper installzypper in, updateup, removerm.
  • When it lists what packages it will install or remove, it will list them with the first letter highlighted in a different color, kind of like so: fish git texlive
    This makes it really easy to visually scan the package list, and since it's sorted alphabetically, it also makes it easier to find a particular package you might be looking for.
    And while there's separate lists for packages to be added vs. updated vs. removed, they also color those letters in green vs. yellow vs. red, so you can immediately see what's what.
  • When it lists items (other than packages), it prints an ID number, too.
    So, zypper repos gives you a list of your repositories, numberered 1, 2, 3 etc., and then if you want to remove a repo, you can run zypper removerepo 3.
  • When you run a zypper search, it prints the results in a nicely formatted table.

Hmm, I don't know about Pacman, but for example openSUSE's zypper remove has a --clean-deps flag, which doesn't exist on the other subcommands. So, it wouldn't make sense to have it be zypper --remove --clean-deps...

Unfortunately, I too am from a region that does not really value lentils. We have a singular lentil dish that's really popular here, but hardly anything beyond that.

The dish also hardly uses seasoning. 🫠
Very basically, you cook some brown lentils and separately, make a roux. Then combine the two. Add salt, a bayleaf and a splash of vinegar. Eat with soft noodles.

As for non-regional recipes that I'm aware of:

  • Lentil curry is great. You can basically just make a normal curry and replace whatever protein you'd use with lentils.
  • The Indian cuisine has tons of dishes under the term "dal". I believe, that word does just mean "split lentils", but you will find lots of recipes with that term anyways.
    To my knowledge, what many(/most?) of these recipes also share is that they overcook split lentils until they disintegrate and you're left with a creamy base, which you can then pimp with all kinds of spices.

Yeah, same. As they discuss in that issue I linked, it seems like in this partocular scenario, it gets stuck thinking it should remove a UnifiedPush distributor, but there is none to remove, so it keeps trying again and again, each time sending the same notification. But yeah, just my high-level understanding of the initial analysis...

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

What I find tricky, is that you're always describing a work-in-progress. I also wanted it to be useful as soon as possible, so I started building the actual core logic first and documented that part of it.

But to actually use it, you need several steps before, which need to be documented, but preferably automated or ideally eliminated.
So, you kind of don't want to invest time documenting that, because you know it'll change a lot still.

And just as well, any quirks you document, it's always like, okay, but what if I fixed this quirk instead?

Obviously, one has to strike some kind of balance. Things will never be 100% perfect or final. And I am most definitely lying to myself, when I figure that fixing it won't take much longer than documenting it. But yeah, it's just a constant struggle to find that balance...

I do, yeah. I also saw this sentence on Wikipedia earlier today, so I don't think I'm alone in that:

[Lentils] are frequently combined with rice, which has a similar cooking time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lentil

And I mean, if you time it right, I imagine you can cook any combination of rice and lentil varieties together.
Well, except beluga lentils, as those turn the water black, which dyes the rice into a rather unappetizing color. 🥴

But if you're lazy, then I'd generally recommend split lentils. They get their hull removed, which makes cooking them much quicker. You're also normally supposed to pre-soak lentils and pour the water out, to make them more nutritious and less farty, which you don't have to do for split lentils.

In the shops, you will usually find "red lentils" and sometimes "yellow lentils", which are split lentils. If they look not quite round and a bit frizzy, then they are split lentils. Like this:

Split red lentils

And then, yeah, white rice, Basmati rice or Jasmin rice is usually close enough to their cooking time. But both, rice and lentils, don't need insanely precise cooking times anyways, so a few minutes difference is usually still no problem.

Non-split lentils and brown rice or wild rice also have similar cooking times.

My personal staple is Basmati + split red lentils.

Note: I'm not a huge rice expert and had to actually read up on some of the differences just now. If something seems off, I'm probably just dumb. 🫠

It's likely a bug: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/work_items?show=eyJpaWQiOiIxNzYiLCJmdWxsX3BhdGgiOiJyZWxhbi9mZW5uZWNidWlsZCIsImlkIjoxODY5NDI0MzF9

Personally, I'm waiting to see what the devs say, but if it gets on your nerves, you can hide the notification in the Android settings.
I'm just not sure, if it is maybe needed again at a later point, which is why I'm holding off.

Am vegan. Certainly don't eat nearly as much as @Carnelian@lemmy.world. But it is a pretty flexible food. Like, I can get soy yoghurt that tastes like the real deal. I can get TVP, which is chewy like a steak. I just had fucking noodles out of 85% soy + 15% chickpeas, and they actually tasted good. And of course, the all-time classic: Soy sauce.

I don't stan for soy nearly as much as many others, because other legumes and nuts are awesome, too, but you just can't deny that soy covers a lot of bases quite well.

 

Always had the problem that if I wanted to just log an error, rather than bubble it all the way up to main(), that you wouldn't get a stacktrace. You could iterate the source chain and plug the stacktrace together yourself, but it's rather complex code.

Now I realized, you can do this to get a stacktrace:

let error = todo!("Get an error somehow...");
let error = anyhow::anyhow!(error); //converts to an `anyhow::Error`
eprintln!("Error with stacktrace: {error:?}");

For converting to an anyhow::Error, it often also makes sense to use anyhow::Context like so:

use anyhow::Context;
let error = error.context("Deleting file failed.");
 

In various point-and-click adventure games, you could enter natural language instructions, way before LLMs were a thing.

And for FMV-style titles, real actors got photographed and filmed to create much more photorealistic games than you could ever hope for with motion capturing, raytracing or by using two GPUs to implant creepy photograph snippets onto rendered gameplay.

So, clearly, we weren't ready yet for point-and-click games. 💩

Find's spannend, wie jung das Wort ist. Da hat nicht jemand vor Hunderten von Jahren mal "Ubuntus Clickus" gesagt und dann ist es durch Dialekte und Eindeutschung usw. irgendwie bei "Klickibunti" angekommen, sondern irgendjemand hat zu einem Zeitpunkt mal das Wort zum ersten Mal verwendet, und es wurde verstanden und weiterverwendet.

 
 

I guess, I should've known better than to feel safe walking into this shop. 🫠
