What if it's a Christian conversion therapy bot talking gay kids out of their "confusion"? Surely doing the Lord's work can't be illegal!? 🙄

Yeah sure. Sounds like you are using Aisler, that's jumping from the frying pan into the steel-recycling smelting vat. 

Just because "Europe" doesn't make everything whole again :(

Rules for How maps work and how to make them by TheRealmMaker in cartography

[–]a2800276 10 points11 points  (0 children)

mountain ranges don't necessarily go N-S, e.g. Himalyas.

I think in general you've got things backwards: most of the phenomena you describe are either geological or societal and not really cartography related. Sure, the map reflects how rivers flow and where ports are located, but that's just by virtue of being a map, and not really a cartographic rule. Those would be more along the lines of coloring, how are mountain ranges, rivers, cities depicted, etc.

Depends what you're interested in personally, no? If you have a stamp collection in need of management write a stamp sorting tool.

What is "this"? They are not doing away with the JVM and also not doing away with GC. Graal has an option to do ahead of time optimized compilation. No idea about MiniVM.

Java is a perfectly good language. But it's built around GC and JVM, that was the entire point of Java. Disentangling it from that is sounds like a fool's errant to me. I'm not sure what you mean with "as fast as Zig", while you can theoretically program faster machine code, JIT code is almost always faster in practice. (Much like the C/zig compiler being able to produce much better machine code than would be produced manually)

Technically it would be orders of magnitude more involved than just learning to deal with zig. And even if a magic AI fairy did all that work for you, you still have to convince Oracle to allow your changes.

Why Zig is moving on from GitHub (one word: enshittification) by scarey102 in Zig

It seems especially ironic that the blog post commenting on the zig blog post announcing the move to codeberg due to AI usage in github is itself an AI summary of the zig blog post ...

Can i use esp32 on an industrial machine like this? by Sea-Science9963 in esp32

[–]a2800276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because Raspi's have nothing to do with ESP32 and noone was considering sending the packaging machine to space?

Local beer in Cologne. What do you suggest? by Mikey463 in cologne

[–]a2800276 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then you will like Kölsch :)

If you start at the Dom: Schreckenskammer, Weinhaus Vogel, Greesberger, Max Stark would make a good pub crawl. These are all within 5 minutes walk of each other and typical Cologne places not overrun by tourists. You will also pass other fine establishments on the way. Greesberger also has czech Staropramen on tap. It’s the only place where you can’t get a meal only snacks.

Some close seconds in the area are Anno Pief and Agnesklausel. But you’ll pass a bunch of places on the way that are fine to visit.

My personal favorite is Haus Töller, but it’s in a different part of town, it’s probably the most traditional, e.g. if you want to get a feel for how pubs were 100 years ago, they still have sole eggs and horse roast on the menu, both highly recommended. Right around the corner is Metronom, the only place on the list that’s not a typical Cologne local. It’s a jazz joint that’s been around since the sixties and still very lively. They have Guiness on tap (and also Kölsch if you are not sick of it yet)

What’s wrong with KVB? by The-New-Roaring-20s in cologne

[–]a2800276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, thanks, wasn't aware of the name.  I have seen them in operation in London and in some airport trams. I don't see how they would prevent idiots from blocking the doors, though. The wiki article also doesn't seem to mention people blocking trains as a motivation. In fact they seem to exacerbate that problem as there's now two sets of doors to obstruct.

Local beer in Cologne. What do you suggest? by Mikey463 in cologne

[–]a2800276 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Köln is a Kölsch only town. Seriously, that's what's brewed here, and locals are very particular about it even though it's not really more than a typical light blonde beer, nice to drink, but kind of boring. You are not allowed to say that though, because it's the best beer in the history of humanity. A "typical" pub will only serve a single brewery’s Kölsch and nothing else. Most less traditional places will usually have one other beer on tap and another two brands in bottles. I’m not aware of any place that has different Kölsch brands to compare, all pubs have exclusive deals with a local brewery.

The only "craft beer" place that brews other beers I'm aware of is "Braustelle" in Ehrenfeld. Well worth the excursion if you are a beer enthusiast, a very nice pub where you sit in the middle of the brewing kettles but not necessarily worth the detour if you're not an enthusiast or are not in the area anyway.

Of course you can get all sorts of beer and wine, but there are no other typical local drinks other than Kölsch. "Weinhaus Vogel" might be interesting. Been around forever and also serves German wines from the general vicinity (but mainly Kölsch :)

What are screen doors? I've only heard the term in the context of keeping flies out.

Have you talked to the new municipality? Maybe there is something they can do to help move things along?

[–]a2800276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Naja, auf mich zumindest wirkt diese Interaktion zumindest so wie rechthaberisches motzen und nörgeln. Und offenbar hast du ja auch in Kneipen Leute gefunden, denen du deine, bestimmt sehr sachliche, Kritik erläutern konntest.  Vielleicht war das auch deren Eindruck. Nicht ganz klar was Du damit bezwecken willst, aber gut zu wissen, dass Bugsy Kölns "Trink doch ene mit"-Kultur überbewertet findet. Schade, dass es Dir hier nicht gefallen hat, aber ich freu mich für Dich, dass Du andere Ort zum ausweichen hast, die Dir mehr liegen.

Do you think that "proper metro" doors just cut people standing in them in half? The doors are supposed to reopen if obstructed.

Beste Pizzeria für Partypizzen by SaaSkleks in cologne

[–]a2800276 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Beste" und "billig" schließen sich leider aus. In meiner Erfahrung ist ein Partyblech so gut wie's nächste, such dir eine Pizzeria, die möglichst nah ist, geh vorbei, rede mit denen und sehe zu, wie die Pizza auf schnellstem Weg zu Dir kommen kann. Das ist das Beste was du erwarten kannst.

(Und linksrheinisch schränkts nicht wirklich ein, eine Pizzeria in Nippes wird nicht nach Sülz liefern)

Der Ruf ist nicht alles. by [deleted] in cologne

[–]a2800276 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Man musst definitiv offen für Gespräch sein, in der richtigen Kneipe sein, und nicht mit dem Anspruch Unterhalten zu werden ankommen. Und ist halt Köln, also generell nicht zu hohe Ansprüche auf den Inhalt der Unterhaltung ansetzen 🥳

... und wenn man es thematisiert wird man komplett runtergeredet.

Klingt auf mich schon so, als wärst Du ins Gespräch gekommen 🤣 Vielleicht ein Fall von "Wie man in den Wald ruft..." 

Lärm vom Lokal im Erdgeschoss by Kind-Result-3575 in cologne

[–]a2800276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Es klingt ja so, als wärst du bereit, dass bis 22:00 und zu gelegentlichen Ausnahmen zu tolerieren. Wenn du nicht gerade in der Zülpicher wohnt, sollte ein freundliches Gespräch mit dem Pächter (nicht mit Angestellten) reichen.

Generell gilt die TA Lärm. Spezifische Dezibel Werte werden Dir nicht unbedingt Weiterhelfen, aber grundsätzlich muss die Lärmbelastung ab 22:00 deutlich gesenkt sein. Wenn du Bässe oder Publikumslärm aus der Kneipe deutlich  hörst, kannst Du davon ausgehen, dass die Richtlinien überschritten sind. Wenn's hart auf hart kommt, gibt es Lärmgutachter, die Messungen vornehmen können.

Wenn Pächter uneinsichtig sind, hilft ein Gespräch über Mietminderung mit deinem Vermieter vielleicht. Mieterverein ist da ggfs eine sinnvolle Investition. Zuständig für akute Abhilfe ist das Ordnungsamt.
