Yeah, nobody writes that except to make a single joke

You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);

To get the length of an array in C, it's necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you're bored.

Yes! The picture is inaccurate, people who need to learn ffmpeg rarely know they do.

Depends on what the angel would say in his schizophrenia-induced converstions. Either they'd refuse it outright or insist on a custom-trained model on public domain religious texts (and there's not enough of those to make a model with unique, coherent output, so not much better than the random word generator).

Next stop: Don the pink dress (only in solidarity ofc ofc)

The highlighted ⑦ key?

You can send a (salted?) hash of an email or its contents but that's just a bit too complicated.

Those aren't really accents. In many Slavic languages, the declination of verbs is gender-specific in the past tense and conditionals. The form is -l for masculine and -la for feminine. You can pronounce it -lǝ (emphasize the schwa that comes at the end of -l) to be vague about it, use the -lo neutrum (dehumanizing), or, to also sound sassy, one of the plural forms -li (default), -ly (all female or neutral, pronounced the same as -li) or -la (all neutral). Yeah, no good gender-neutral options yet.

It's nothing but mistakes

Piezo buzzers have a resonant frequency they're strongest at. Two-pin piezo disks need driving at the desired frequency. Usually only a GPIO pin (PWM-capable if possible) and a resistor is needed. Three-pin disks provide a phase-shifted feedback to the driving transistor to keep oscillating at the resonant frequency. Some include that whole circuit inside their housing so they have just 2 pins but those are for DC power, only the volume can be somewhat adjusted by changing the input voltage.

 

WebP does everything GIF did, just better. The only problem is adoption. Maybe a similar, single-syllable name could have helped.

  • Ends the pronunciation debate: hard G in the 1987 filetype, soft G in the 2010 one
  • Looping soundless video gets a name that's short and does not refer to a terribly inefficient format (that "gif" sharing sites often no longer use anyway), plus some wrong people have been using it already
  • Software peer-pressured into supporting it (nobody wants to hear "they don't support JIF" about their software)
 

They say lab is short for German Labor, which is short for Romanian laborator, which is short for Latin laboratorium.

 

Today's news told in names of two Czech companies.
Unfortunately, it took backlash from EU to turn the needle but they did it. Now one "only" needs 2 doctors' recommendation, 1 year testing period, and then 2 more notes from doctors.

This lamp by OSRAM uses the LEDVANCE trademark, implying it is an LED replacement for fluorescent tubes. I repair LED bulbs (and tubes but broken ones are still rare) as a hobby, and while going through bins I have to avoid fluorescent ones (even CFLs in fancy globes). Welp, there goes my yet-flawless way to tell: "if it says LED, it's LED". I really need to shine through most of them! Shining a light through this one reveals nothing inside but a heated electrode at either end (aside the phosphor coating, and a gas mixture including a little mercury vapor), the normal components of an FL tube. LED tubes would include a driver and an LED strip (and usually a PTC at the other end). I mainly use the method to reveal the kinky or twisty tube of "sneaky" CFLs with milky balls.

Also, the company took a while to leave Russia but at least they did

Data mostly from Wikipedia. No warranty. For example, Slovak is arguably not an official language in the Czech Republic, just mentioned as “mutually intelligible” in certain laws but I followed Wikipedia and included it. Languages are grouped by the acronyms and sorted by their 2-letter codes. Those are based on their Wikipedia URL or my guess (sucks to be you, Montenegrin speakers, should have made your own Wikipedia). Countless Sámi languages are represented by North Sámi, the only one with a NATO Wikipedia article.

Changelog from v1 I originally posted on Reddit: Hungarian ÉASS → ÉASzSz (the "sz" stays together in acronyms because unlike most letter pairs it makes a single special sound).

When a little Czech girl becomes best friends with a carp who is destined to be her Christmas dinner, she must choose between tradition and her newfound friendship.

There are references to Cosy Dens, hallmark Czech Christmas movie set during the 1968 Prague Spring and Soviet invasion, as well as graduation films by their classmates. Definitely watch them!
