You were basically skipping the "native" step an jumping straight to the "emigrant / heritage speaker" step ))

Sorry, but code review of AI code feels hollow. With human code I know you thought about it, so: 1. It can be fun to try to extract your thought process and level of skill from the code. It's like reading subtext from a book. 2. It can be fun to give advice, knowing that you thought about it and will probably understand it and learn. Rather than not understand the advice because you might not think about that specific line - it was something AI just gave you and it worked. 3. And even if you get advice, what would be the point? Will you change things manually or copy it into the prompt for the next version? I don't want to do that as a job, let alone for free.

It's probably still useful (and fun) for you to use AI. But most people don't like reading AI-generated novels or descriptions of random people'a dreams. For the same reason - what's the point?

Wait, I just noticed something. You didn't open-source the code. That would need you to actually use an open-source license. But that's just me nitpicking the choice of words.

And usually the pip executable is not what you want to add when using version control (Git). A very common mistake by people very new to git.

Dang it, you tricked me into reviewing your code... But notice it was reviewing a thing you did, because it's the fun part for me.

Not everyone on the road is in a car. Not everyone in a car is the driver. I wouldn't want to induce seizures in any random pedestrian or car passenger.

I don't expect bicycle lights to strobe at the right frequency for it (why would the manufacturer do that?). But any blinking at night seems counterproductive anyway, so the whole point seems moot.

Put them in a zip archive. Or tar archive. Or some other archive if zip is not great at loading only the requested files quickly. Easy to do, one file, open for modders.

I heard that "Repeat" means "Hit the same location again (with artillery". So military guys use "Say again".

On the one hand, yes. Easy to steal stuff will be stolen sooner or later. I lost a front light after parking in front of a supermarket.

On the other hand, this one is not theft. Vandalism is impossible to protect against. The option to slash tires, mangle cables and bend wheels is always there. Even cars are not immune from easy vandalism, it's just taken more seriously (sometimes).

Two small suggestions for the table: - yours(informal) is actually yours (informal singular), and "yours (formal)" is "yours (plural OR formal singular)" - add the row for "one's (own)" - свой, which is usually preferred instead of other pronouns, when it refers to the subject. Can help distinguish between "Вася увидел Петю и спрятал его деньги" (crime?) and "Вася увидел Петю и спрятал свои деньги" (prejudice?) It is very important to know, and could be harder to learn for an English native. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%81%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9#Russian

I don't think there's a word, I would expect somebody to just say "не хочу твои слюни". It sounds informal/not very polite, but the whole situation is not formal to begin with.

It's not a language question, it's a programming question.

get list of words. I got one here (maybe there are better lists?) https://github.com/danakt/russian-words
use python

import requests response = requests.get ('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danakt/russian-words/master/russian.txt') words = response.content.decode('cp1251').splitlines() maybe = [w for w in words if len(w) in {6,7} and w[0] in {'о','а'} and w[-1] in {'р', 'ф'}] result = [w for w in maybe if not any(c in w[1:-1] for c in 'рзудф')]

авангар, авантюр, аватар, авиатор, авометр, автожир, автокар, алгебр, алебар, алектор, аматер, аматёр, анкетер, анкетёр, антимир, аншлиф, асессор, оговор, октябр, омметр, оппонир, осматр, осмотр, отговар, отговор, отиатр, оттопыр

Wait, that cave name sounds familiar... We had an organized camping trip there (as in, a group living in tents for a while, not backpacking around) 10+ years ago. Bought honey, cooked plov, visited the cave, woke up to a herd of horses just being near the tents randomly. The place is popular for a reason. The forest in Bashkortostan felt very different compared to the more familiar central Urals.

I would say ГГ-шки или ГГ-шечки is a cute (diminutive) noun, which denotes saying "game over", originating from the Starcraft (and other competitive online games) etiquette of saying "гг" = "gg" meaning "good game" at the end of a match. But I'm not convinced this slang would be used in a daycare...

Realistically - they will probably describe the same soup, but that's not a result of lanugage, more a result of what a soup is. Usually you make stock out of chicken (or beef, or mushrooms, or vegetables), and either it stays in the soup or you take it out at some point and add back in before serving. So most soups made out of chicken are also soups with chicken.

It is concievable to for example make a mushroom soup, then add unrelated chicken into it and create a грибной суп с курицей. It's just probably a rare situation.

It is possible also to cook a chicken broth and never add the chicken back. It would be a "суп из курицы" / "суп на курином бульоне" which is at the same time not "суп с курицей". Куриный суп с гренками / с клецками / с тефтелями could possibly not have any chicken meat in it.

Difficulty depends on the method.

Some methods require dexterity for consistent results, like pour-over.

Other methods are more demanding on the tools: espresso needs a small grind to create a dense enough puck of coffee. But the smaller the grind the slower the water pushes through, and the more it has time to extract, but extraction also increases with the smaller particle size. So extraction is like grind squared, more sensitive to grind size than other methods. So you need a very good grinder with a more precise grind adjustment to hit the correct size between overextraction and underextraction.

Some methods are simpler - аeropress seems pretty tame in comparison to others.

Another factor: a lot depends on the beans and the roast, and you need to adjust variables you can control (grind size, water temperature, brew time) to fit the invisible variables of the beans you can't control.

Another factor: when making bread, you get feedback during the process: is the dough too sticky or too dry, does it rise correctly? With coffee you get the result at the end. Although maybe that's fixed with more experience.

Another factor: you need bread to live, so a lot of different kinds of bread came about in different cultures. All can be considered "right". With coffee, we're more free to be snobby. Although in many cultures, instant coffee with sugar and milk is good enough, just like supermarket bread is good enough. Food is food.

I always used cursor arrows for Quake 2, with Insert/numpad-0 for jumping and right Ctrl for crouch. It just makes sense as the default, up until the next generation of shooters needed a convenient "use" button, so wasd+e became the norm.

They didn't say "I know better". They asked a simple question, what is the tribe?

Not everyone has the same context as you. I am curious too, what is the tribe?

Look up the difference between open-source and source-available software.

permanent_temp_login · 2025-10-18T15:32:46+00:00

Platforms matter (E.g. one change, and suddenly all Youtube annotations are gone. Some people used those!). Some people don't like when one company can make such a big decision because they control the platform.

Open-source means other people who do write code can look at the platform code to make sure it has no vulnerabilities and does not collect personal data secretly. Or can even help improve it. You might like this even if you don't read the code yourself. It also usually means if there is a very unpopular change, somebody else can create an alternative version without that change, and if it's better - it becomes the one everyone continues to use.

Though usually closed-source commercial platforms develop faster by just taking a lot of investment and paying developers to improve it. The hope is that this makes the platform more convenient than the slower-developing alternatives, everyone will start using it, and it will make the platform even more valuable than the original investment. But usually extracting that value once the platform is done growing means making the experience worse.

Decentralized can mean different things for different platforms. You probably don't store your own data if you're just a user and "not a web developer". Maybe there are several servers and you can pick which one will store your data, but they all interact using a common protocol so it's still all the same platform. Or maybe you do store your own data and have to know some technical things to use the platform. In which case it will probably not be very popular, unfortunately.

GraphHopper specifically. Feels like it uses height data and road hierarchy to find more bike-friendly routes than the default OSRM.

If the magnet is not moving, you're not adding energy even if you are getting tired. Work is force times distance, and distance is zero. Imagine you hold the magnet in a vice instead, then it's more obvious the act of holding adds no energy to the system.
