Fluent in Norwegian and English. Norwegian allows me to basically fully understand Swedish and Danish, but my mimicking/mocking of those languages does probably not count as languages I can speak.
I also have some very rusty german education which would probably allow me to be understood, but hardly enough to have a conversation.

Simple, yet very recognizable melody. Easy to whistle, but could also be extended to a whole orchestra with vocals.

“Have you invested in crypto?”
Do you think anyone anywhere will misunderstand this as investing in cryptographic research/development?
The mainstream usage of the word isn’t always aligned with what is good for society or even the original usage of the word.
A clear indicator that I reached the bottom of the community
John Cage’s 4’33 is really so much more of a masterpiece with that in mind.
That would be ideal. The place I visited did not provide any such options.
My experience:
“Oh, well, here you need to download an app, consent to everything the app wants to do and register with your phone number. Then you can order and walk to the kitchen to pick up the food you ordered. Also, leave a tip if you enjoyed the service.”
Similarly to Snot Flickerman, I also believe that this thread will be filled with comments about not being on twitter, as that seems to be a common demographic of lemmy.
And also similarly to Snot Flickerman, I’ll make use of this opportunity to become the very thing I resent in this thread by mentioning that I’m also not on twitter.
Not that this covers many cases, but a lot of appliances are running touch screens and a lack of non-visual indicators. Blind people could benefit from having an app with a screen reader to run the machine. Of course, this is just a patch for a problem which shouldn’t have existed in the first place.
Inter planetary javelin throws? Maybe just add a dart board on Mars while we’re at it.
A pretty general explanation is that a number consists of an length and an angle on the number line. Positive numbers have angle = 0. Negative numbers have angle = pi (or 180° if you want to work with degrees instead of radians).
Multiplication is an operation where you add together the angles to retrieve the resulting angle and multiply together lengths to get the resulting length (yes, kinda recursive, but we’re only working with purely positive numbers here).
So 3 * (-3) means
Length = 3 * 3 = 9
Angle = 0 + pi = pi (or 0 + 180° = 180°)
Of course this is very pedantic, but it works in more complex scenarios as well (pun intended).
Imaginary numbers have angle pi/2 (or 90°) or 3pi/2 (or 270°). So if you for instance want to find the square root of i, you can solve it by finding the length:
1 = x * x
And angle:
pi/2 = y + y
(can use modulus 2pi to acquire 2 solutions here)
Solving the equations and resolving the real and imaginary part with trigonometry, we get
1/sqrt(2) + 1/sqrt(2)*i
And
-1/sqrt(2) - 1/sqrt(2)*i
Isn’t this pretty much optimal on dry surfaces? The patterns in the tires are for draining away water, and nothing else. I mean, look at F1 tires for dry roads.
But the tiniest splash of water will send you on a rotational journy into what’s straight ahead.
Norway has a weird obsession with making translated acronyms for well established terms. Lately, after many years of use of “AI”, the Language Council decided that the term should be changed to “KI”, as that is the “correct” Norwegian acronym. Not only does it feel wrong to say, but it invades another local acronym for me.
To top it of, that council decided to make “KI-generated” the “word of the year”, which seems like a pat on their own shoulder to brilliantly making the acronym.
I hate it.
You know how the sun radiates an incredible amount of power through millions and millions of tonnes of material undergoing nuclear fusion every minute, and the sun is expected to last for millions of years?
Well, not that much. But it’s still a lot!
Intellij: Has a modern GUI for Git with code cleanup, import optimization and visualization of changes.
Me: Open terminal, ‘git commit -m “wrote code” && git push’. Then realize I forgot to add half of the files, so I make another commit. Then realize I forgot to cleanup bad indents, so I make another commit. Then realize my code doesn’t even build, so I make another commit, etc.
Ah, yes. It’s called “kursiv” in my native language, hence my mistake.

All of their thumbnails are unfortunately click-baity. They spoke about ut in an older video. Apparently, the click-baity images drive too much traffic for them to justify something more subtle.
