Software engineering, Rust, Zig, embedded
Besides streaming, i.e. the capability to watch the movies and series when you want and how much you want, and lowering the entry to produce videos for more people, they pretty much reinvented cable. Or did I miss something substantial?

Another tidbit: Operating systems (like Linux) usually provide a possibility to get entropy (ideally used as seed). Linux for example has /dev/urandom beyond others. Afaik, it uses the time between subsequent accesses to the hdd as one of the sources used to create the entropy.
A software solution usually can create “random” faster, with the drawback that its not actual random
The Mersenne Twister was a famous pseudo random number generator when I wrote my diploma thesis in 2009. Today, afaik, PCG (Permuted Congrentual Generator) are better.
From my opinion it is more computer science sorcery than math sorcery.
For true random generation you usually need some specialized hardware for it, that uses sone natural source of random. One could use the decay of a radioactive material as such a source or the noise one can get from audio input. Unfortunately, I don’t know what actual hardware uses.
For pseudo random generation, you usually use a seed (ideally a true random value or something with a high entropy) which you feed into an algorithm like Linear Congruental Generator (LCG) or Mersenne Twister (there are lots of algorithms).
One further important note: Tge use case forvwhich you need random numbers is important. A video game could accept a random number generator with “lower” quality while a cryptographic algorithm always needs a cryptographic secure random number generator (don’t forget: “don’t roll your own crypto”).
Finally there are quasi randim number generators, however this name is very misleading. The mathematical correct term is low discrepancy sequence. There are not random at all but can be used and have useful properties in some settungs where pseudo random number generators can be used. Never in a cryptographic algorithm, though.
Great summary and congratulations.
That’s the reason I’m deeply offended. I’m german too. 😉
This video playlist from typecraft helped me a lot to set up a minimal neovim config: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsz00TDipIffreIaUNk64KxTIkQaGguqn
I once in a while, improve, add or remove plugins and settings, whenever I find it necessary.
I use this rust plugin: https://github.com/mrcjkb/rustaceanvim However I haven’t used Rust very much in my neovom set up as of now.
Another good starting point for a neovim config is here: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
Have fun.
European here. Is this actually true that waffle houses can get violent? If so, is there any explanation? I like waffles and never associated them with violence. Never been to a waffle house, though.
Funny video (at least for me) that explains why it is not so simply to react to bear attacks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Se44YdrjZzU
Ja, ich spiele Gesellschaftsspiele meistens mit meinem Sohn. Wir spielen unter anderen:
Bei der Suche nach geeigneten Spielen kann https://boardgamegeek.com/ helfen. Ist eine Art Katalog von Spielen, meist mit Foreneinträgen pro Spiel. Eher in englisch aber durchaus nützlich.
Can it be used on a “normal” android phone or just android tv?
Touché (I’m German, btw)
My understanding of the whole “being beneficial for humanity” is that:
Having said that, I think LLMs or Machine Learning can be used for useful things but I also think - as stated - the message " being beneficial for humanity" is hollow in a broader sense.
I find Zig a language wuth very good WASM support out of the box and it is mostly imperative in nature.
It is currently pre 1.0 and has some rough edges.
And I was always taught that capitalism allocates the resources ideally. /s
Every year is the year of the linux desktop. Always has been, always will be 😄
Neovim maybe? 😉
To add to your excellent comment:
It does not ask if it can copy the art nor does it attribute its generated art with: “this art was inspired by …”
I can understand why creators unhappy with this situation.
What are your goals?
If you want to learn another language just for the fun of it (the best reason) than learn both.
Of you want to improve your tool set to be able to land a job, then there is no good answer. Probably some other high level language like Python, Java, JavaScript, C#. Etc.
Also: Zig bay be easier to get started when coming from C, because it is mostly imperative.
Rust introduces concepts from functional programming. This could be interesting for you, of you don’t have any experience in functional programming to get in touch with other programming styles. Or not, of you explicitly don’t want to learn such things.
I use both languages, and I enjoy both. Shameless plug: I’ve written a blog post ~ 2 years ago what I like about each language: https://zigurust.gitlab.io/blog/posts/three-things/
