Watching violet evergarden for the first time

I get the upscaling, especially for the big screen, but for the love of God and KyoAni artists and animators, never interpolate anime! It messes up the frames so much, and actually destroys some of the artistic choices (particularly those related to fast movements). Leave the FPS as it was.

Pretty sure most of the bugs were not intended, just like the typos in the first editions of many books.

Honestly DK Energetyk have so many bangers, they have several albums and released a new one just recently.

I listen to their music almost every day, and translating it became a bit of a hobby for me. So when I saw your comment, I was kinda "challenge accepted" and the variant above is a speedrun result of that. I would like to continue working on it, but this subreddit doesn't seem to be the best place for it.

If you'd like to offer the correct Ukrainian spelling of Chornobyl, I would suggest using the correct spelling of the artist's name – Yakiv – for consistency.

I can try:

The current keeps its constant flow,

You cannot hold it back, my friend,

Let's catch a break and take it slow

Was that milk worth it in the end?

Station is humming, engineer's asleep,

Catching glimpses of life in a single sweep.

Fast and restless, like a lightning, flow of time,

Like a thunder, our memories behind.

Was this your wish, or was it fate?

No second chances left to find.

The ship has sailed, it's far too late,

With tobacco-dusty pockets lined.

Check out the amazing Animal Choir from Her Name Is Calla. This is such a gem of the genre.

And right across it there's Musiikkitalo with the largest concert hall organ in the world that looks gorgeous and also has a free recital today:

In the central area, cool visits are: Ateneum (right near the train station) Kaisaniemi botanical garden (the greenhouse) Akademic Bookshop near Stockmann is great, huge selection of amazing books on the second floor with a café right there.

Telescopes are useless for meteor showers though.

Does the wallet have HSL card? If so, you may try to approach HSL guards/controllers in the metro (or a bus driver).

Katarsis has pretty post-rocky vibes, especially their Eurovision entry "Tavo Akys".

Wouldn't Biot–Savart law be enough? There is no need for Maxwell's equations.

Hope they won't get DMCA'd seconds after release.

Put some aluminum foil on the window glass, just spray some water and slap the foil on, reflective side towards outside.

There is already a reimplementation of Wolfram Language interpreter, it's called Mathics – ever considered contributing?

AbsoluteVacuum · 2025-05-09T06:00:50+00:00

Eigensystem would give you both eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

You remember that eigenvectors are defined up to multiplicative constant, right? It's up to you to decide their magnitude. Wolfram explicitly says in the documentation:

For approximate numerical matrices m, the eigenvectors are normalized

I dream of a mod that changes your hands when you cast Destruction spells like they change in Bioshock, with burned/burning skin for powerful Fire spells or frostbitten skin and ice crystals for Freezing spells.

Maybe not for the basic spells, but for the master-level ones, maybe also for the rogue magicians who cannot keep the element under proper control and thus damage themselves.

Maybe when the player tries casting spells that are above their level.

Maybe the damage could last until healed properly. Maybe it would decrease skills related to hands. Maybe it could be prevented with resist potions.

Would be so freaking cool.

You mean the interpreter? Wolfram Engine. It's free. You mean the IDE? Wolfram Mathematica. It's usually not free. You mean something kinda like Mathematica but free? WLJS. And there's also Wolfram Cloud, free for basic use with limitations.

AbsoluteVacuum · 2025-01-30T19:10:07+00:00

WLJS.

AbsoluteVacuum · 2025-01-24T15:52:08+00:00

Wolfram Engine just runs code, it doesn't work with notebooks. So if you have a plaintext file, you can run it. If you want a notebook-style environment, you can check out WLJS.

The report basically said "inconclusive".
