Not to worry, you just have to click here:

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Deeper down from there, I also found the information that:

  1. Countries/languages were allowed to continue putting the € in front or behind, like where they put their currency sign before the euro was introduced.
  2. Yes, for English, it was decided on before, because of the £ and $.
  3. The English EU style guide says explicitly:

    The euro sign is followed by the amount without space: "a sum of €30"
    The same rule applies in Dutch, Irish and Maltese. In all other official EU languages the order is reversed; the amount is followed by a hard space and the euro sign: "une somme de 30 €"

I've never even heard that it's supposed to go in front. Interestingly, the English Wikipedia article for the Euro does put it in front, the Italian, French and German articles does not.

Maybe it was decided to put the € in front for English, because £ and $ are in front, but to put it behind like every other measuring unit for other languages?

Yeah, good point. So, I wrote that comment with an experience I had in Luanti in mind (which is basically a community-developed platform for Minecraft-like games).

In the worlds there, I'd find a cave and it would expand down several hundred blocks. The good ores also only start to appear down there, so because you'd need to dig down a lot more blocks, and because the caves allow you to descend so quickly, it is definitely not worth digging straight down.

But then those sprawling caves are also worth coming back to, because you will definitely not mine all of it in one go.
Even if you do deplete those caves, it's still worth using them as a starting point for digging further down, where you're also likely going to run into more caves.

All of that just means that it becomes worth your time to build out your mine.

Ladders are worth bringing right away, because the caves are so vertical, but when the way up or down takes several minutes, it's also a good idea to build intermediate bases and minecart rails.

In my most built-out world, I think, I had like 500 blocks of minecart line to get to my second intermediate base. And the deepest point I reached was -3400, if I remember correctly. Found a massive cavern down there. Even just placing torches down to light it up needed several visits. Was considering building a city into there, but it was actually too large for that. I would've never been able to fill that cavern. 🥲

Yeah, my mum is like that. She'll readily tell you that you can put dandelion into salad, but also considers it a weed.

She's also always very concerned what the neighbors think of our lawn (not that she ever asked), and one time she told me we had to mow the lawn, because dandelions are growing on there. When I told her that dandelions are flowers and that I think flowers look better than bland green, you could really see that she never even thought about it this way.

Im Schwäbischen übrigens auch großartig. Sowohl "an-" als auch "ab-" wird zu "a-" verkürzt, nur mit leicht anderer Aussprache (ə vs. ɐ).

Bei an-/abschließen kann man sich in der Regel noch aus dem Kontext ableiten, was gemeint ist, aber z.B. bei an-/abschalten geht das nicht. 🫠

Ist auch echt immer so ein bisschen ein Problem. Egal, ob es insgesamt schon heiß genug ist, kannst es ja nicht wirklich nochmal reinmachen, wenn dann vielleicht noch mehr von deinem Essen zerknallt und u.U. in der Mikrowelle verteilt wird.

Yeah, linked lists are rarely a good idea. Modern memory optimization, where contiguous regions of memory are loaded into CPU caches, means that array-backed lists have better performance in virtually all situations.

In a way, I'd want to argue that you should actually only ever roll your own linked lists, because you should only use linked lists when you're not working in-memory, i.e. when array-backed lists are not an option to begin with.

My assumption would've been they do PDFs, because they have the same menu printed out in their restaurant. They're gonna need an A4/letter size format either way, so PDF is the simplest way of putting that same format onto their webpage.

PSA: Android Firefox can show PDFs inline, i.e. without throwing it into your Downloads folder.

 
 

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

 

Was blindly reading scrolls to identify them. First, a scroll summoned butterflies. Then a scroll made it so they would explode on death.
Thought for half a second and decided to continue reading scrolls, because is there even a scroll that could kill these butterflies?

Well, there happens to be a scroll which summons poison gas.

Announcing Rust 1.93.0 (blog.rust-lang.org)
 

Seems like another routine release. At least no huge surprises that I'm seeing...

 

It's a so-called "music tracker" software which is a specialized kind of application that emerged in the 80s for composing 8-bit-style music.

In general, it has a rather rigid structure, best suited for straightforward 4/4 melodies, where you can throw in some effects here and there. But the nice thing about that is that you're very quick to produce good-sounding results, even if they may be simplistic.

The most recent update (which was apparently more than a year ago 😅) added a synthesizer to create your own samples more easily. You need samples to make each note play a tone, so this makes it even easier to jump into. As a result, I am having quite a bit of fun with it, again, which is why I decided to post here. 🙂

It is free and open-source (GPLv3).

 
 

Somehow missed this one in my RSS reader, so a bit late with the post. 😅
