Since no one mentioned it yet, this is the classic card game “Klondike”.

KPatience is a program that implements multiple such card games…

A few years ago, I learned that the stomach rumble when you’re hungry, is part of a process that’s actually kind of important health-wise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrating_motor_complex

So, it’s good when your stomach and small intestine empty out on a regular basis. It’s good when you’re hungry on a regular basis.
Just yet another luxury problem of modern times, that we have food available at all times and need to stop ourselves from snacking.

Side-note: It’s also good to go hungry, because then when you do eat, the food tastes so much better. This also means you can go for healthier food and still have it hit the spot.

It’s somewhat of a vicious cycle, too. When you do a hobby, you typically achieve stuff, whether that’s inter-personal relationships, a painting you wanted to finish, or e.g. physical fitness.

These successes, as well as their knock-on effects, help to form long-term happiness. With mindless media consumption, on the other hand, the happiness stops pretty much as soon as you turn off the screen, so you have to keep going back for more, and then it also takes time away from forming long-term happiness.

Hmm, good question. I know of one such implementation, which is Delta RPM, which works the way I described it.
But I’m not sure, if they just designed it to fit into the current architecture, where all their mirrors and such were set up to deal with package files.

I could imagine that doing it rsync-style would be really terrible for server load, since you can’t really cache things at that point…

I think, she’s just showing an example of the aesthetic that we would now call “cottagecore”, even though it would not have been called that back then. Lots of trends did not have a name when they were their most popular…

Hab mich das letztens auch bei Pfandflaschen und Co. gefragt, also ob die 15 Cent tatsächlich die Herstellungskosten abdecken…

Möchte hier noch qmmp in die Runde werfen, was wohl so die aktuelle Software der Wahl ist, wenn man was WinAmp-artiges haben will.

Had to search for a bit, too, but finally found the relevant keyword: Delta RPMs
(Which also explains why it’s a Red Hat / SUSE thing. 😅)

Here’s a decent article, which links to some more in-depth explanations: https://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-get-started-delta-rpms/

This doesn’t work too well for rolling releases, because users will quickly get several version jumps behind.

For example, let’s say libbanana is currently at version 1.2.1, but then releases 1.2.2, which you ship as a distro right away, but then a few days later, they’ve already released 1.2.3, which you ship, too.
Now Agnes comes home at the weekend and runs package updates on her system, which is still on libbanana v1.2.1. At that point, she would need the diffs 1.2.1→1.2.2 and then 1.2.2→1.2.3 separately, which may have overlaps in which files changed.

In principle, you could additionally provide the diff 1.2.1→1.2.3, but if Greg updates only every other weekend, and libbanana celebrates the 1.3.0 release by then, then you will also need the diffs 1.2.1→1.3.0, 1.2.2→1.3.0 and 1.2.3→1.3.0. So, this strategy quickly explodes with the number of different diffs you might need.

At that point, just not bothering with diffs and making users always download the new package version in full is generally preferred.

openSUSE Leap does have differential package updates. Pretty sure, I once saw it on one of the Red-Hat-likes, too.

But yeah, it makes most sense on slow-moving, versioned releases with corporate backing.

Ja, das “kannst du nicht” war mehr gemeint als ein “ohne dass es einen extrem schlechten Eindruck hinterlässt”. Was man legal darf und was sich Großunternehmen erlauben können, das sind nochmal ganz andere Kategorien.

Aber ja, dass wir darüber diskutieren müssen, ob sie damit gegen Urheberrecht verstoßen, zeigt ja schon, dass sie den Urhebern damit nicht gerade gefallen werden. Und es gab eben auch wirklich keine Not, das so zu implementieren.

It would get warmer from light hitting it, yeah, but I wouldn’t expect it to be significantly better at that than a regularly black parka, since that will also absorb most light.

Boah, die Großunternehmen verlieren echt so langsam den Verstand. Auch wenn du Trilliarden in etwas gesteckt hast und es für den geilsten Shit der Welt hältst, kannst du doch nicht ohne Einwilligung Benutzer-Inhalte damit verändern…

The thing to me is always that, yeah, you need a huge commit for a breaking change in an internal library inside a monorepo, but you will still need to do the same work in a polyrepo eventually, too.

Especially since “eventually” really means “ASAP” here. Without going through the breaking change, you can’t benefit from non-breaking changes either and the complexity of your codebase increases the longer you defer the upgrade, because different parts of your application have different behavior then. So, even in a polyrepo, you ideally upgrade all library consumers right away, like you’re forced to in a monorepo.

Good question. My best guess is that the buttons have become less important, because:

• they try to auto-detect where a signal comes,
• they have better defaults, so you don’t really need to change settings, and
• even monitor brightness can partially be controlled by the OS.

But yeah, I got a new monitor at work, and instead of buttons, it has a joystick on the backside. Now the monitor’s menu pops up every so often, I’m guessing because something shook the joystick just enough to trigger it.
When I saw that joystick for the first time, I wondered how long it’ll take before it breaks, but it’s broken on day 1, so that’s great. 🫠

Your surface area doesn’t decrease from you having a higher speed. In fact, because humans are quite vertical objects, moving them fast along the horizontal axis means they actually have a somewhat higher chance of crossing paths with something dropping vertically.

This is the same for rain, by the way. But since moving at a higher speed typically means you get to your destination sooner and spend less time outside of a house, it’s still generally a good idea to go fast.

I believe, the problem is mainly white bread, which is what people typically have in mind for feeding ducks.

As opposed to wholegrain, it only retains the endosperm, which is mostly just carbohydrates without many nutrients:

I think, the lack of fiber is also particularly problematic. At least, I’ve heard that it gives them diarrhea, which probably means their guts don’t have time to extract the few remaining nutrients.

Yeah, and for consumer software, the companies developing the software don’t have to pay for the RAM, so unless it becomes a widespread reason to switch away from their software, they do not have to care at all.

Joa, so Obst kaufe ich meist nur einzeln, wenn ich direkt Bock habe, das zu essen.

So, technically last Sunday, probably.
