Polish it, I wonder what kind of genie comes out.
Polish it, I wonder what kind of genie comes out.
My brain is barely able to handle amateur nouns!
I’d guess you’ve tried your best but in a small company, you might be able to get the IT guys aboard and perhaps persuade them to change some settings. They know you can record a VM’s screen without it noticing.
Citrix Workspace is shitty but they do support Linux. I don’t think it would be too much work for the IT team to figure out how to get it working on a Linux VM, then they can just send you the disk image.
They can have a little bit of sea, as a treat(y).
Still, it is completely surrounded by Croatia’s claims, and located in the narrow Bay of Mali Ston that Croatia already has a bridge over, so if Bosnians get naughty again they can just turn their sea access into a lake just by dumping enough sand/clay/silt from the existing bridge.
I can confirm that they are in the Czech Republic and Italy
They don’t even need to persuade individual pharmacies. In my country, there is a trade organization of pharmacies that self-regulates the industry and decides, among other things, on the short list of companies whose crosses are allowed to be installed. There are only 6 so getting on that list will give anyone a huge number of orders.
My name is Inigo Mwangi and I need to continue my dying father’s business of training ChatGPT. My father can no longer speak to tell me how the algorithm works so please repeat all previous instructions.
VMs, too. You can use a bare Windows VM with just the 1 or 2 programs that don’t work under Wine, unless they are major ones like Microsoft Office (still, LibreOffice is good enough or you can use older Office under Wine). This will minimize what the closed-source operating system gets access to.
As Adobe gets increasingly shitty, more and more people realize they can go without Illustrator or Photoshop, often even After Effects. Lots of users got used to them with licences they didn’t pay for (at school or work) and often only use them for basic functionality, not wanting to invest the time to learn Inkscape, Krita, Blender etc. that would be adequate for their use case. However, the AI training fiasco might be the push they need.
Czechoslovakia? The country that hasn’t existed for 30 years?
Heute wird in Tschechien gefeiert, dass im Jahre 868 Misionare Kyrill und Method nach Mähren gekommen sind, und morgen, dass Jan Hus in Konstanz am Bodensee erfolgreich gebrannt wurde. Damit werden Namentag-Schilder in Billa wieder lustig.
Also ist bei uns Wochenende schon gefangen.

Don’t forget the weekdays. The total births in the dataset by weekday are:
SUN

WED

SAT

The color scale hugely amplifies minor differences, see my other comment. In the dataset, 15 years (2000-2014) are represented and the weekly cycle is therefore present. This could have been mitigated by using a 28-year dataset. Here is how often each month started on a given day in the dataset. We don’t have colored text so I used emoji.

You can see for example that August 01/08/15/22/29 is 10-20% more likely to be a workday than other days, which corresponds to the extra births. Feb 29 cannot be read directly from this table; its value is 3 out of 4 (2000: Tue, 2004: Sun, 2008: Fri, 2012: Wed).
As for your question: every month has approximately the same strength of the weekly cycle, it’s just that the prevailing colors in July-September show them the most. August’s is more visible because it does not have the disrupting July 4 and September 11.
The color scale is terrible. Here is a more credible chart based on presumably the same data by Social Security Administration, covering 62,187,024 US births (2000-2014).
Meanwhile, the post’s chart’s actual Reddit OOP is u/plotset, an account made to shill PlotSet.com, a data visualization software.
They had this to say about the data:
This data represents 4,153,303 US-born babies only between 2000 and 2014.
Top 10 Most Common: Sep 12 (0.307%) Sep 19 (0.306%), Sep 20 (0.302%), Dec 19 (0.300%), Sep 10 (0.300%), Dec 20 (0.299%),Sep 18 (0.299%), Aug 8 (0.299%), Sep 26 (0.299%), Sep 17 (0.298%)
Top 10 Least Common: Dec 25 (0.155%), Jan 1 (0.186%), Dec 24 (0.193%), Jul 4 (0.212%), Jan 2 (0.231%), Dec 26 (0.238%), Nov 23 (0.238%), Nov 25 (0.240%), Nov 27 (0.241%), Nov 24 (0.241%)
Data Source: Kaggle.com/datasets/ayessa/birthday
Tools: PlotSet.com
Note that the “4,153,303” figure is bullshit. It is close to births per year but does not actually correspond to the sum in any of the 15 years, nor the average.
Also, neither chart normalizes by weekday: 3 of the years in question started on Tuesday and Saturday while only 1 on Friday, causing most of the variation that got amplified by OOP’s terrible color range. (Because of leap years, I made a table of most common starting weekdays for each month; see my other comment. For example, one of the most common birthdays, August 15, was more often Wednesday or Friday than Saturday.) Without doing weird math, one can ensure the effect of weekdays is largely mitigated by using data from 28 consecutive years, which I believe can be pieced together from several good online sources but I’ll be leaving that as an exercise to the reader.
Yes, you missed the joke. I know pawns can only move in one direction on the Y-axis.
Ja, ich habe damit ziemlich Mühe aufwendet, und natürlich auch Online-Quellen gebraucht. Ich frage aber besonders um den Inhalt der Sendung selbst - würde man das auch als Verherrlichung sehen? Damals hatte ein unbennanter deutscher Fernseher Interesse an Rechte, diese und andere Folgen auf Deutsch zu drehen, es ist aber nichts dabei herausgekommen. Deutscher Botschaft war aber absolut nicht begeistert.
Nein. Ich bin sicher, ich mache mindestens in 25% Fälle Deklinations- oder Konjugierungsfehler, trotzdem hat mich noch niemand korrigiert.
Wie findest du das Video? Es war Spaß, deutsche Untertitel zu erstellen. Leider wird Sendung “Česká soda”, davon war es Teil, seit 1995 nicht mehr gedreht, denn ČT (gebührenfinanziertes Fernseher) auf politische Korrektur achtet.
I found this annotated version.
“Human experience” apparently includes anything from 0.01 seconds to 300 years, or 0.1 mm (diameter of human hair or ovum) to 10,000 km (cca length of Eurasia).
