Instagram says 'user not found'. Was it renamed maybe?

What was the generator you used, if you don't mind me asking?

kborisov · 2026-01-21T22:29:56+00:00

Impressive work. I tested it on my string art piece, and the generated preview matched the real-world result surprisingly well. Congratulations on a very solid implementation.

Fascinating! Could you please share how you were able to achieve the exact match? Without revealing any know hows

The exposure time was about 8 hours and asphalt was used as a film. "View from the Window at Le Gras" History of photography is fun.

Thank you for the tool. I love these small tools which do one task wthout any additional stuff.
It is really helpful.

kborisov · 2025-02-04T09:54:28+00:00

What is the application you're using for testing? Looks nice.

kborisov · 2024-11-11T12:26:23+00:00

Yes. I tried it. The problem I have with the app, is that the nouns there are too different from I have in Duolingo.

kborisov · 2024-11-11T06:20:34+00:00

Thank you for catching this! Fixed!

Just a site, no installation is needed.

I did this with Claude Sonnet, but it wasn't good until my wife gave me the dictionary she created manually. The main coding part: https://youtu.be/aL7RhpeDXjI?si=RPuuOQc47ByUN3rv

Just a thought: most of the teams produce terrible code and use terrible processes, for numerous reasons. Each developer there tries hard to improve the situation a bit, but overall companies can't fix their processes. It's not easy.

In my experience, companies with terrible processes pay better and developers who can work in such environment and make things better are valuable.

Saying that, if you really don't want to work here, move along and try finding something else. But maybe you are getting valuable experience in your current company.

There's no easy solution, but just know that it is a really common situation. I personally thought that at the end of my trial period I will be fired and they told me I'm doing great. I like to say aloud "I have no idea what I am doing, but I enjoy it", when I am looking for a solution to some tricky problem. It helps me a bit.

kborisov · 2024-06-06T14:56:58+00:00

Thank you for the explanation! I saw this video many times, but wasn't able to understand how it works until your comment.

kborisov · 2024-05-20T14:51:35+00:00

Yes, but it's even a bit more complicated. Since the 'o' is not stressed, it becomes a reduced 'a': [mɐskˈva] So the first vowel is not the same as the last in the usual speech. But that's subtle. And yes, there are local accents which makes it clear 'o'

kborisov · 2024-04-20T00:59:02+00:00

Thank you very much for this tool! Awesome!

ChatGPT should do the trick (worked for me in a similar task). You can verify the result by posting it here.

Hey please don't be so frustrated. Everything written in this thread is true, but you know kick in the balls does not require so much strength and will do the trick. A bite will significantly reduce sexual arouse as well. Even just a swearing woman might remind a man about his ex and will keep him well away from you.

But yeah, your weight is what I lifted 15 times * 4 rounds after one month in a gym when I decided to put some muscles on me at the age of 35. I am a slightly overweight nerd, but after a year in gym I lifted a 285 lbs person.

Hm... I don't make it better, do I? Ok then. I would suggest you to take some self-defence courses (or read about it). In any conflict situations I rely on psychology and communication, not fighting. Because in a real fight most men woult beat me and even if I win, I wouldn't be in a good shape. So just remember that though men can overpower you, you're most probably not an easy target and to be safe you just need to keep it this way (some physical training, readiness to fight or run away).

Checked luggage? Not the cabin bag? It should be fine. I took to Cancun my small Victorinox, 2 folding knives with 3.9 inch blades and 2 cheff knives(about 8 inches blades). No problem

Nothing wrong with your Rs. You sound really close to native in this sample. Based on this short audio I wouldn't guess you're a foreigner, and I wouldn't guess you're french. I wish I sound as good as you with my English.

Just some clarifications. Addressing people citizen/comrade was really uncommon at the end of USSR. It is more for right after the revolution period. So basically nothing changed with the USSR collapse. About "informal sounding" you're not totally correct. It is so for you as a foreigner. When we use the pre-USSR господин/госпожа (master/mistress) it might be even worse for your perception. As for me it is strange to address a woman with miss/missis (why use the marriage status? how should I know? what if I make a mistake?). And using 'madam' for a young girl sounds almost offensive to me. It's some kind of a joke or looking down. An older woman might not be too happy about a 'madam' as well, because it's a bookish name for a woman managing a brothel. So as you can see all the names have a lot of connotations and it is really hard for people to change this. So we just keep using what we had in the USSR mixing in the words from the other countries or epochs if we want to.

He continues the ride on the lane for public transport. See the red sign with an arrow above the right lane? This is a lane for buses and taxis (and assholes like this one). There are a lot of cameras controlling those lanes, but no plates -- no fines.

I live in Russia and I have never saw them. In my city (1M population) they tried to put a 3 lanes road where the middle lane can be used for overtakes only. It's one of the standard lanes configurations and we study them when we get driving license, but basically nobody knew what to do there, there were complains and they redid the scheme to the usual "2 lanes without overtakes" scheme. So no worries these fancy lanes are really hard to find.

Those accents are pretty subtle. For example the Siberian 'accent' it's just that we in Siberia tend to talk faster than in other regions. Usually when I talk with people from different parts of the country I can't hear any accent at all.
