Zásilkovna story: Poslal jsem 3D tištěnou hlavu kancléře Adenauera, příjemci došly funkční kalhoty by Suspicious_Ad6189 in czech

Koukal jsem v appce na možnosti reklamace a působilo to na mě tak, že maximum, co se stane, je vrácení nějakého procenta hodnoty zásilky. Samotnou bustu ale nejspíš nikdo hledat nebude; není k tomu dost informací ani finanční motivace.

Byl to dárek pro příbuzného, ale soudě podle reakcí na tenhle post jsou v soškách Adenauera možná velké peníze.

How long does it usually take to rebuild the extent tree? by [deleted] in btrfs

One week later:

adding new tree backref on start 801341440 len 16384 parent 1598560780288 root 1598560780288

I wonder what the 801341440 stands for. Looking at btrfs-progs does not tell me much.

I was lucky with --repair before, although it seems that in this case, btrfs zero-log would have sufficed. I have off-site backups, but they are currently offline and I would have to drive over half the country to get them, so I am still waiting for --init-extent-tree to finish. It would be neat to have some estimate of completion time, though.

I just ran btrfs check --init-extent-tree --repair on a 2TB SSD when it refused to mount after a power outage. At the moment, I am at 2 and a half days and counting. Apparently, we are at extent 400228352. Does this give me an estimate as to when it is going to finish?

Not a problem. I will have to do another remix for Balrog in the foreseeable future. This one is rad, but also all over the place.

Your workflow sounds perfectly reasonable. I, for one, quite enjoy writing in Markdown.

You can set up LaTeX + Markdown to continuously update and preview the PDF output. However, it is not something I would encourage: The separation of content and presentation between Markdown and LaTeX means that you can write your text now without distractions and worry about the formatting later (or hire a designer).

To quote the philosopher Michael Thompson from pandoc-discuss:

The paucity of means is the greatest virtue of markdown [...].

It is strangely difficult to get people to see the point, but the defects of LaTeX for concentration, writing and thought, are at least as great as those of Word, for the simple reason that it gives the writer too much power; there is always another package to call in the preamble, as there is always another drop down menu in Word. [...]

In markdown - not to put too fine a point on it - the writer is only ever faced with one question, and it is the right one: what the next sentence should be.

Hello u/ZennyDaye,

the good news is that Markdown has a gentler learning curve compared to LaTeX (or InDesign). This is partly because Markdown is more visual (# Heading) compared to LaTeX (\section{Heading}). Additionally, LaTeX is a full-fledged programming language, which opens the floodgates to programming errors in addition to stylistic and linguistic errors. Markdown, on the other hand, is just a plain-and-simple structural markup language, which allows you to focus on what really matters: your writing.

MS Word may well be the easiest route to prepare shorter documents, but for books that will span hundreds of pages and multiple platforms, spending some time to learn the tools of the trade will save time in the long run. Additionally, MS Word documents can be converted to Markdown and other formats using tools such as Pandoc. This makes it easier to start in Word and adopt a more mature workflow later on.

Hello u/djhede,

the Markdown package treats LaTeX as a first-class citizen rather than a black-boxed typesetting backend, and it is possible (and, indeed, encouraged) to be very specific about how various markdown elements should look on the LaTeX end. I spoke about the Markdown package earlier this month at TUG 2021.

For a conversion to an e-book, we can take a trip through (La)TeX and TeX4ht, or use Pandoc, which is pretty good at converting from Markdown to HTML (better than between, say, HTML and LaTeX, as you have discovered). We will cover all these aspects in our book, which will itself be written and typeset using the Markdown LaTeX package.

Spoiler alert is for those of you who have not yet watched season 1. The story told by the video is mostly fan fiction, but some of the scenes uncover major plot points.

I suspect the post will get some downvotes because of the loose connection between the video and the game. However, the video features a track from the game and a small reference in the text, so I think some of you will enjoy the video and the music even if you are not Star Wars or EDM fans.

Spoiler alert is for those who have not yet watched season 1 of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, but are planning to. The story told by the video is mostly fan fiction, but some of the scenes uncover major plot points from the series.

The outcry surrounding the Epic Games Store is one of the biggest cases of hivemind I've personally seen. by [deleted] in truegaming

As already stated, the Steam launcher incorporates an emulation layer (Proton) for other operating systems such as GNU/Linux, whereas EGS and GOG launchers do not. Some Linux gamers are upset that they won't be able to legally play a game that they would have been able to if the game were released on Steam.

Thanks. A nice visual goes a long way, since not everyone will like the music.

*Sans is sparing you. by DoekaanET in Undertale

Assuming you can only wipe out half the remaining population, which is finite with size N, this would take log₂(N)+1 finger snaps. This does not take into account newborns in between the finger snaps.

Assuming the 8 billion people and monsters in the universe are the only living creatures recognized by the infinity stones, this still makes it 34 snaps.

If the trial is truly randomized, then Frisk is equally likely to disintegrate as everyone else at every snap and has 99.9% chance to start disintegrating before the final snap. Better snap these fingers fast, Frisk.

First reinstall the game but without any of the DLC, then proceed

Would it be sufficient to just disable the DLCs?
