My mum would iron everything. Then I moved out a few years ago. I still do not own a clothes iron.

It’s certainly simpler than Forza et al, but there’s an open-source racing simulator, called Speed Dreams: https://www.speed-dreams.net/
If you watch the “Latest Release” video, there’s some engine sounds in that.

They seem to have a bunch of samples for how different car models’ engines sound: https://sourceforge.net/p/speed-dreams/code/HEAD/tree/tags/2.3.0/data/data/sound/

And then they modulate that in code, based on the car’s speed, gear, turbo etc.:
https://sourceforge.net/p/speed-dreams/code/HEAD/tree/tags/2.3.0/src/modules/sound/snddefault/CarSoundData.cpp#l171

They also do that for gear changes, tyre sounds, collisions and backfires.

From what I know about audio, I would expect AAA games to still use the same approach of recordings+modulations.
While it is possible to fully synthesize an engine sound, it doesn’t help you much with making it sound right in all different situations.

Anscheinend nennt man Gluten auch “Klebereiweiß”: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten

We’ve been using Leptos at work, which is a similar framework (and probably shares half the stack with Dioxus).

And yeah, it’s really good. My favorite thing about using Rust for the UI is algebraic data types.
So, in Rust when you call a function which can fail, there isn’t an exception being thrown, but rather you get a Result-type as return value.
This Result can either contain an Ok with the actual return value inside. Or it can contain an Err with an error message inside.
So, in your UI code, you just hand this Result all the way to your display code and there you either display the value or you display the error.

No more uninitialized variables, no more separate booleans to indicate that the variable is uninitialized, no more unreadable multi-line ternaries.
It just becomes so much simpler to load something from the backend and display it, which is kind of important in frontend code.

It’s not a dual-language platform, though. You write the backend and the frontend in Rust. The frontend code is compiled to WASM to serve it to the browser.

Achso, ja, die Katholiken verstehen sich nicht als Vegetarier, aber wenn die freitags in Kantine/Restaurant oder irgendwo zu Besuch sind, dann wird eben angemeldet, dass sie kein Fleisch essen, obwohl sie Fisch trotzdem essen.
Bzw. oftmals müssen die das nicht anmelden. Hier in der Kantine gibt’s immer freitags Fisch statt anderem Fleisch.

Naja, und jetzt meldet man als Vegetarier genauso an, dass man kein Fleisch isst, und dann fragen sich die Leute eben, ob da Fisch auch dazugehört.

Ich denke, dass das hauptsächlich von den Katholiken kommt. Da gibt’s eine Regel/Empfehlung, dass weil Jesus vermeintlich an Karfreitag gestorben ist, dass man jeweils freitags, sowie in der Fastenzeit vor Karfreitag, kein Fleisch essen soll. Fisch ist aber eben erlaubt.

Excuse me, Windows is the cheap copy of KDE.

It’s like camouflage, but for stairs.

I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I’ve got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.

I didn’t want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.

This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it’s a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type “blind” into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.

Da müsste man sich jetzt so richtig einlesen, und wahrscheinlich noch ein paar neue Studien durchführen, um das wirklich richtig interpretieren zu können, aber es gibt zumindest richtige Studien, die zeigen, dass Cannabis Einfluss auf die Testosteron- und Östrogen-Bildung haben.

Also soweit ich mich gerade eingelesen habe, scheint es die Östrogenbildung bei Frauen zu fördern.
Siehe z.B.: https://leafwell.com/blog/effect-cannabis-hormones
Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob “Frauen” eigentlich weibliche Laborratten in dieser Aussage sind. Das könnte aber eben bedeuten, dass es bei Männern ebenfalls zur Östrogenbildung beiträgt.

Es scheint aber auch eine umgekehrte Korrelation zu geben, also Testosteron und Östrogen beeinflussen das Cannabis-Konsumverhalten.
Es steht z.B. hier drin:

ZL;NG: Männer greifen bereitwilliger zu Cannabis, Frauen kommen aber schwerer davon weg.

Vielleicht also sind Männer mit Brüsten ein ganz besonderer Cocktail aus viel Testosteron + viel Östrogen, der sie sowohl mehr dumme Dinge machen lässt, als auch es erschwert von Cannabis wegzukommen.

Aber ja, insgesamt würde ich die Beobachtung absolut nicht abschreiben.

Kann konfirmieren. Achso ne, Moment, kann ich nicht, bin ja Atheist.

Make that two.

Ah, das macht Sinn. Danke.

Häh, und das weiß man schon im Voraus, dass da ein technischer Fehler auftreten wird? Das klingt wie so Mafia-Scheiße, ich weiß nur nicht, wer hier jetzt die Mafia ist.

What the others wrote is already pretty good. An interesting observation I made in this regard: If you take a white noise sample and cut it really short, it sounds quite a bit like a snare drum.

That’s kind of the level of randomness you can expect from various unpitched percussion instruments. They don’t just have one tone, or the tone from multiple octaves layered on top of each other, like pitched instruments typically have.
Rather they’re all over the place, with many tones layered on top of each other, and those tones change rapidly, too. So, it kind of has many pitches and therefore not really any particular one either.

But that is what I mean with it needing an extension of the language.

So, I’m not saying you could just build a library that calls existing PHP functions to make it all work. Rather I’m saying there’s certain machine code instructions, which just cannot be expressed in PHP. And we need those machine code instructions for actually managing memory. So, I am talking about reading/writing to memory not being possible, unless we resort to horrible hacks.

Since we are building our own compiler anyways, we could add our own function-stubs and tell our compiler to translate them to those missing machine code instructions. But then that is a superset of PHP. It wouldn’t be possible in PHP itself.

Again, I’m not entirely sure about the above, but my web search skills couldn’t uncover any way to actually just read from a memory address in PHP.

I mean, I’m a bit out of my water there, both in terms of the featureset of PHP and what’s actually needed for a kernel, but I’m still gonna go with no.

For one, PHP uses reference counting + garbage collection for memory management. That’s normally done by the language runtime, which you won’t have when running baremetal.

Maybe you could implement a kernel, which does as few allocations as possible (generally a good idea for a kernel, but no idea, if it’s possible with PHP), and then basically just let it memory leak until everything crashes.
Then again, the kernel is responsible for making processes crash when they have a memory leak. Presumably, our PHP kernel would just start overwriting data from running processes and eventually overwrite itself in memory(?). Either way, it would be horrendous.

Maybe you could also try to implement some basic reference counting into your own PHP code, so that your own code keeps track of how often you’ve used an object in your own code. Certainly doesn’t sound like fun, though.

Well, and secondly, I imagine, you’d also still need an extension of the language, to be able to address actual memory locations and do various operations with them.

I know from Rust, that they’ve got specific functions in the stdlib for that, see for example: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ptr/index.html#functions
Presumably, PHP does not have such functions, because its users aren’t normally concerned with that.

Maybe should also be noted that this is not a common word in German. They just built a fancy building, so they chose a fancy name for it.
