childhood memories: Spencer Hill museum in Berlin.

@janl Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill museum on Unter den Linden. Small but quite the nostalgia trip.

AI will exterminate humanity.

That it would happen peacefully by driving the human birthrate to 0 with AI girlfriends from the ChatGPT Store was somewhat unexpected though.

@wfaler Either that, or ultimately uploading consciousness to some compute infrastructure and forgetting that it requires maintenance.

@wfaler it is familiar to Wicket, but in the client: attributes for adding server side functionality. Uses server side html rendering (partials) but is backend agnostic. Update multiple elements from the html response. If you enjoyed Wicket, you'll also love this.

How many times have you been arrested or detained by #police ?

dashorst, 7 months ago

@msquebanh White guy here. My mastodon client registered the 2 vote while I was scrolling, when in effect I never have been arrested. Didn't want to mess up your statistics, sorry

One thing about #parenting no one prepared me for is the sheer amount of unsolicited advice I get on the street from random strangers. 😬

dashorst, 8 months ago

@TarkabarkaHolgy Word of advice: don't listen to advice of strangers 🙈

Best moments of the Roman festival:

Emcee, in a news anchor voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to the blood sacrifice event."

Romans: struggling with setting up the ballista for the battle
German warrior: "Should we come back later?..."

"Dad, are these the bad guys?"
"No, they are Gepids."

Emcee: "But! Alas, the barbarians have an even more shocking hostage... um... no they don't, they can't seem to find her."

Gepid chief: "I'm getting Romanized."

😂

@TarkabarkaHolgy Somewhere around 1995/1996 we camped at the camping nearby. Walked/tram-ed past the excavation every time we went into the city.

Can anybody recommend any decent free resources to learn just a little bit of Hungarian (esp pronounciation) that's not that godawful owl app?

dashorst, 9 months ago

@iris @janl I did a local training course for Hungarian, but the lecture book was awful. It taught us "You have a nice bronze standing lamp" (szép bronsz allolampa) before learning to ask for where the bathroom is. 🤦‍♂️

Perhaps @TarkabarkaHolgy has a good resource to share?

In my defense it was free and only 12 minutes away (and possibly broken).

@paul I would've hope that Apple would put the m1 chips inside this enclosure. Would be perfect IMO.

dashorst, 1 year ago

@codinghorror Putting it in writing on a wall or canvas it becomes paint phrase.

Exciting news, looks like 2023 is finally going to be the year of ... ... a real Thunderbolt KVM. Not many details but looks like MSRP is $300, has 4 USB-A ports and 60W power delivery.
