Some C/C++ extension process once reduced my laptop to a crawl, and I couldn't close VS Code, so I killed the process through the task manager, simple enough, right?

Long story short, I started smelling burning plastic and saw that, somehow, there was no VS Code process, but the extension had a separate process that was still running at full speed doing idk what. I almost burned myself when I picked up my laptop. So I'm not very happy when I see VS Code

Same, but with popcorn

I understood that when once we decided to stay longer and worked for 12h one day, and then spent the next morning un-fucking what we screwed up during those extra hours.

Or when I spent an hour debugging something late in the day, only to come in the morning and find the problem in 15 mins. At least in software development, effectiveness dramatically drops when you're tired and it's really not worth it killing yourself to do something 2h faster.

I never completed a CFOP solve, I just got to F2L and then looked at Roux and it seemed more attractive. I need around 2:30 with the beginner's method, and with Roux it varies a lot on how my block building goes, but my fastest was a very lucky 1:36.

The first one I found in the shop honestly. It says YongJun on the white center in Mandarin, but I can't tell you much more than that.

Well I learned the beginner solution at first and then learned about the existence of methods like CFOP, Roux, ZZ and the rest. I looked at CFOP first, but I'm really really slow with F2L, and all the algorithms and cases you have to learn look really daunting. Then I found a beginner tutorial for Roux and idk, I like the feel of it and you don't need that many algorithms to get started. Block building gives you a lot of options, for the corners you can make do with sune and jperm (or just memorize 7 OLL cases with the cross), and the rest is pretty straightforward.

Also spinning those Ms gives me my daily dose of seratonin.

Hello!

I bought my first rubik's cube with magnets three days ago and I totally understand how this can become such an obsession for people, I knew there had to be a lemmy community!

I learned the roux method (at least a simplified version), and I hope to achieve a solve under a minute eventually. Currently I need a minute only for block building lol

"Mother" by Maxim Gorky and "Escape from freedom" by Erich Fromm, sadly a very relevant book. There was a book fair in my country a few weeks ago, so I grabbed whatever I could find.

Well, we found out...

Is this really what we are going to be? I don't recall the community every banning people left and right for comments like these. I myself made similar arguments before, where is my ban and comment removal? OP here did not post anything in bad faith, they didn't come to troll, nobody complained and there also wasn't a flood of the community. There was a total of 17 comments, 7 were removed, and 5 are just the mod getting into fights with people, and the post was locked after that. This is something you support?

Speaking of the mod, they are aggressive and insulting in every comment they make, almost every post is "don't vote for Harris", and this has been flooding the local instance for some time now (11 posts "don't vote for Harris" in 2 days last week). There is absolutely nothing constructive in this whole story, just one person making as much noise as possible without adding anything constructive and then banning people who make good faith counter-arguments. I thought this was one mod out of control, but if you support all of this, if this is what the slrpnk anarchist community is, I have to say that I am profoundly disappointed in this instance. I can only hope that the majority of slrpnk.net would condemn this whole story, they just aren't aware.

Oh wow. I actually thought about bringing this up somewhere, but it was late and I went to sleep, I didn't know that there was already a post. On one hand I'm glad this got out, on the other hand it saddens me that this likely did a lot of damage to both the community and the view of anarchists in general, since it takes just one person like this to overshadow 10 anarchists willing to have conversations in good faith. But we are where we are now, what's left is to see how we move forward. Thanks for the mention

 

Basically, as I understand it, when you eat food it goes through your stomach and then it travels through your bowels where the nutrients and water get gradually absorbed along the way. Coffee, as I understand it, stimulates the muscles in the bowels and causes the contents to move through the intestines more quickly. So if drinking coffee means that food will spend less time in the intestines, does that mean that less nutrients will be absorbed from the food than if no coffee was consumed?

 

MetaGer, the privacy-focused search engine of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, will no longer exist in its familiar form. It will still be possible to use the token-financed service. Nothing will change for members and users who use MetaGer with a key. However, it is the ad-financed search that has ensured the main part of the revenue and thus the operation and further development. Unfortunately, this “normal” search is no longer possible as of today. This is just as dramatic as it sounds: it is no longer possible for SUMA-EV to continue to employ staff. All employees are being made redundant, as are the offices.

The reason is that Yahoo terminated our contracts unilaterally and without any notice on Monday. Upon request, we were merely informed that Yahoo would no longer be operating the business in Germany. For us as the operator of MetaGer, this means on the one hand that we no longer receive any advertising revenue, which has been used to pay for office space, servers and employees. On the other hand, we will also no longer be able to deliver our search results as part of the ad-financed search. Only with Yahoo did we have a central deal to receive search results in return for advertising. This no longer applies.

What happens now? MetaGer's supporting association, SUMA-EV, will continue to exist. It will also still be possible to buy a key for the token-financed search and search with MetaGer. With this model, MetaGer will still be able to query paid search engines and deliver the results without tracking as usual. We will also continue to work for SUMA-EV and MetaGer on a voluntary basis to ensure the operation of this small niche, but this will of course be on a very small scale and not what MetaGer is all about. MetaGer-Maps can also no longer be operated in this context. The plans to become bigger and to one day provide a really good alternative to “the big players” with its own index (or European index) have of course died with this termination by Yahoo. And that is what is really sad.

 

Seven Spires released a new album back in June. This is my favorite song, but the entire album is amazing.

A crane I made with 2cm x 2cm paper

 

Some black metal from Serbia. Below are the lyrics and my translation

Zalutao pod veo košmara / I wandered under the veil of nightmares

Često usnim brisan prostor / I often dream of a cleared space

Negde i nigde, na granici svetova / Somewhere and nowhere, on the edge of worlds

Dubok je koren strahova / The root of fears is deep

I sanjam... / And I'm dreaming of...

Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma

Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here

Peku se na tihoj vatri / They're burning on a silent fire

I žrtve i dželati / Both victims and executioners

I sve što još ne poznade smrti lice / And everything that had not yet known the face of death

Obgrliše kosturnice / Was embraced by ossuaries

Zastao je dašak jave / A breath of lucidness lingered

Ko u šaci zrno soli / Like a grain of salt in the palm

Možda se i iskobeljam / Maybe I'll get out

Kovčezi nam nisu okovi / Coffins aren't our chains

Serpentine guste magme / Snaking flows of thick magma

Nema izlaza odavde / There is no escape from here

Tu je neki zid, ruina / There's a wall, a ruin

Pored polje puno crkotina / Next to it a field filled with carrion

Gasovi i isparenja / Gases and fumes

Na sve strane plamti litosfera / The lithosphere is on fire on all sides

Obliven znojem, budim se / I wake up covered in sweat

Kraj istih ruševina, gde sve / Next to the same ruins, where everything

Što poznade smrti lice / That knew the face of death

Progutaše kosturnice / Got swallowed by ossuaries

One of my absolutely favourite symphonic metal bands.
