I’m not Indian but went to India to support a friend getting married. They had five different events (that we were invited too, more that we weren’t), each with their own set of rituals and customs. One where you just put turmeric and spices on the grooms face!

And the ceremony she went to seemed different from any of those five! She could/should have obviously asked her fiancée but it’s really not so easy in Indian culture specifically to be prepared for everything you’re about to go through.

Flashlight for now, but I really want it to bring up the Apple TV remote. Maybe someday

There is not, unless you’re talking about people with gigantism or something, such as Andre the Giant. Giants most likely not only did not exist,, but due to diet and nutrition, we are taller than our ancestors.

Your name is apt

Technically multiplication is just division by the inverse so math has that case covered too

You can also lick off the bitter coating if you’re into that kind of thing

I think it’s two reasons - first is that human readable formats are less specific, so three files that are “3gb” in size look the same, so it may be hiding information that it knows about

The second is that commands are very often used as parts of larger scripts, where human readability may not matter as much, or may not be applicable until the very last command when the output is actually shown.

Between these, and the fact that most commands try not to predict what your use case is, I think that having a -h option is going to be the norm going forward as well rather than having it as the default

Tenerife, the pic doesn’t do it justice but it was just the greenest, most quintessential “island life” type place. And they had the best octopus I’ve ever had. Definitely going to revisit it at some point.

You owe me ten cents every time this gif is played

For Saturdays I usually need to look at the hints, but these hints were too much. Not very fun when half the crossword is done for you

Is there a way to speed up extraction of 40+gb 4k videos? This is by far the most time consuming part of the process and I was wondering if there was any hardware acceleration or even multi cpu way of speeding this up.

My cpu isn’t the newest, it’s an i7 5820k, overclocked just a bit, but I have a hard time believing that a newer cpu on its own will have more than marginal gains on this front, but I could be way off here.

edit: I just realized my processor came out in 2014. So I'm sure in 10 years we've made some inroads, I thought I bought this guy in 2018.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the crossword community being ported to Lemmy! Now it’s time to bring the Reddit tradition of streak bragging

 

Until I get a bot up and running to create these, I will try to manually create these daily. If it is 2 hours before game time and one is not created, please create one yourself!
