I mean, the headline of this post already makes me irrationally angry. 😂

Y u no close brackets!?

• “n-jinx” wäre “en dschinks”
• “engine x” wäre “endschin iks”

Um das mal phonetisch zu schreiben: Es würd sich ungefähr wie “en dschinks” auf Deutsch anhören.

Only if you drink it in considerable amounts. Should be pretty fine for a bath though.

Don’t eat your bath salts. Don’t drink your bathwater.

As a general rule: Just don’t.

Heavy water - like water, just heavier.

You’re in good company. Germans have a similar relationship with their flag.

That’s a great guess when you try to answer the problem with traditional (Newtonian) physics. However, space and time do not behave in a way we would expect when we go nearly at light speed. So Newtonian laws do not apply in the same sense anymore.

Things get really unintuitive when you go near the speed of light. Einstein’s “Special Relativity” is describing that. Watch a couple of videos on the topic. It’s mindbending but seriously cool.

In short: The speed light is always constant FOR EVERY OBSERVER. That means, if you would hold a flashlight in a very fast moving train, the light would travel as the same speed for you as for a stationary person that is watching your flashlight from outside the train.

But how could that be? Aren’t you “adding” the trains speed to your flashlight? So shouldn’t the light in your train travel faster in your train? Or maybe slower? No. Light speed is always constant - but what is NOT constant is space and time. It is relative to the observer. Time and space can stretch/dilate to make up for what seems to be a paradox. E.g. your trains would shrink in length the faster you go. But it would look different to you than it does to an outside observer.

As I said, it’s mindbending, but there are a couple of cool and simple videos on the internet to get a better grasp on the matter.

I can’t either … eat eggs anymore. 😇

Are people just downvoting because you’re vegan?

Probably. Some people are fragile. 🤷

if you’re vegan and in a band, which one do you talk about first?

As a vegan cyclist, I know the pain. 😜

And you are right. The topic is important to me, so tend to talk about it. 💚

I’m really sorry for that. But please don’t be mad at me - I’d rather not have beef with anyone.

Top Music Attorney is pretty nice if you wanna learn more about the ins and outs of the legal stuff in the music industry. Not a “general” legal channel though.

OP was asking?! 🤷

If you just want to mock me, think of something more original… I mean, come on. You call that a “joke”?

Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.

And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚

While the whole world is beeing like

Well put me in a dress and call me Sheryl. Never knew that the “accepted definitions” were really that close. Thanks!

I knew that some definitions of OSS were really basic (as in “as long as there is source at some point”) but I didn’t know that the OSI definition was so close to the idea of “free software”.

I found the read about the history and similarities & differences quite interesting: https://web.archive.org/web/20180915200609/http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

I think you got that one wrong.

Open source is not a license. Open source literally just means that the source is openly available. It does not include the right for you to reuse or change any of the source.

That’s why most of the time, people are talking about “Free Open Source Software” (FOSS) when they think of openly licensed source code.

That’s why you can publish your project on e.g. Github (= open source) but if you don’t add a license statement, your work is still protected by an “all rights reserved copyright”. (= not free)

Anyhow, I would not necessarily deem a project OSS, just because the used language is readable by default. To me, OSS needs at least the developers intention to make it openly available.

Thanks! You are right. “Swapping vs. replacing” is not the same usecase.
