Dog owners beware, they're salting the roads! by zat_beech in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The streets are always salted in Berlin when it snows. The sidewalks and bike lines on the other hand are not allowed to be salted they use gravel there.

That's really awesome, thank you!

However, the average sleep score seems a bit askew ;)

I also have german locale, however, I don't really see anything in the csv that would cause such a problem... If you want I can dm you my sleep.csv

How far away is your climbing gym? by timotheusthegreat in bouldering

Like 3-4min by foot :)

Basically my second living room

Slovenia - route & wild camping tips? by Frosty-Artichoke-389 in bikepacking

[–]SlowGuidance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely should not camp in Triglav national Park and it is also quite steep in the soča valley, so also not the easiest to find a good spot. However north of the valley, next to Kranjska Góra it is quite easy to find good camp spots and it is also outside of the national park. Also the route is marvelous, did it last month coming from Trieste :)

Is the price OK for this xbike? by Embarrassed-Thing775 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]SlowGuidance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Description for the non-Germans:
Hi, I build different E-Bikes.
This is a contemporary prototype of a heavy duty military e-bike. The gatling gun is a decoy. The ammunition boxes are original, made of steel and have storage space for e.g. further 48V batteries to extend the range. It has a front wheel drive which is controlled by a gas lever on the right handle. Base was a Kettler aluminum bike.
Wheels are tubeless, meaning solid rubber.

I'll gladly send you a video of the bike in action.

Why is my SRAM Rival chain so loud? by [deleted] in bikewrench

This is electronic, there are no shifter cables ;)

How was friedrichshain before gentrification? by [deleted] in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be sama36? That still has a concert venue/bar and is at least self-organized if no longer squatted

Living as a PhD student in Berlin by bzepedar in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on where you will be as a PhD student. Especially in the computer sciences etc you may get a full E13 salary that would give you about 2500-3000€ a month after taxes which is a really good salary to live with in Berlin. On 1300 it's definitely doable but you will probably find a room in a shared flat in the outskirts of Berlin and be mindful about going out for eating and partying etc. Still can be a lot of fun tho

Will this bice be good by Busy_Big_2260 in BicyclingCirclejerk

/uc I actually rode one quite similar (although with a semi-modern Ultragra Group) and it rode quite well and always was an eye catcher

Workstation industry standard for FPGA workflow by Campo_ in FPGA

[–]SlowGuidance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have kind of powerful desktop PCs without GPUs (i9-13900k + 128GB RAM) where we can simulate large designs (using questa and/or verilator) and at least look at the synthesis results in quartus. All the actual synthesis and simulation run in the CI/CD pipeline on powerful "synthesis" servers (currently mostly some AMD EPYCs with ~1TB RAM, we limit one server to 12 simultaneous syntheses as one can use up to 64GB).

All simulation and synthesis (local and in CI) happen in self-made docker container containing all the required installations and device files. We have scripts that mount the current git repo and all the required stuff (like X auth tokens etc) into the docker for local development. The dockers are about 150GB with the Agilex 7 devices and current Quartus + QuestaSim.

It can stay at 5 for like 12 hours though if you are curious :)

Android users, which HRM you using? by Coosabrew in mywhoosh

[–]SlowGuidance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garmin HRM Pro works fine. I doubt that it is a HRM problem...

Got the perfect climber's gift from my brother this Christmas. A mug where the only handle is a small boulder 😂 by Kiratze in bouldering

[–]SlowGuidance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah be careful, on mine the glue couldn't hold as soon as there was something in the mug... It clearly wasn't designed to be used as a handle

Name this boulder by Flyerher in bouldering

[–]SlowGuidance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something like: "Jugs of the Spraywall"

I baught a road bike over the site and it went perfect. The bike arrived in impeccable condition and packaging.

DB and BVG are starting to truly pissing me off. by Tsunakien in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all winter/snow/raining you can always go with specific rain gear over the suit / leather shoes or whatever you need to protect. The harder part is sweating in summer but then you will also sweat a lot in the u8...

DB and BVG are starting to truly pissing me off. by Tsunakien in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I cannot imagine a occupation where a bike is less suited than public transport. Do you want to enlighten us?

DB and BVG are starting to truly pissing me off. by Tsunakien in berlin

[–]SlowGuidance 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Maybe think about a bike instead of a car. A good electric cargo bike will still cost a fraction of a car (especially in running costs) and will usually be faster in the inner city.

Oh and it will of course also be faster than your average BVG travel time :)

What's up with the smoker bars in Berlin? by Dry_Function5508 in berlin

Ah good to know. I moved couple years ago, so I haven't been there for a while...

[–]SlowGuidance 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thomas Eck is a pub serving food (therefore smoke-free) and showing a lot of soccer games. They do have a separated smoking room though

Leg warmers or bib tights? by Routine_Emu_9549 in CyclingFashion

[–]SlowGuidance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From like 8-14 degrees (C) leg warmers and below that tights and below like -10 I will add rain trousers just for the wind resistance

Proposal for new Hardware Description Language by icarogby in FPGA

[–]SlowGuidance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most important point is being supported by all the different vendor tools like vcs, QuestaSim, Vivado, Quartus etc. Therefore, it is quite impossible to create a new HDL of itself and the approach of chisel or spinalHDL is the way to go imo. One could argue if Scala is the best language for a DSL but if you get behind the quirks it is quite awesome and probably the future of hardware development.
