It's a completed piece of art or a completed task within the current capacity, but as a puzzle I consider it incomplete. She could still miraculously get those missing pieces and then the puzzle would be "more completed" in the same unit of measurement, which in my opinion just means that it isn't complete now. Although, that raises the question if a puzzle with a few damaged pieces is complete... I hope the pieces remain missing. That's a fantastic decoration idea!

I dig this question. I have a similar problem in my personal task management where I differentiate between efforts invested in general and efforts invested into completed tasks only. Since those are just solo projects, I don't invest a lot of time into requirements measurement and the output of a task is rarely what I had in mind. Looking back my judgements on what is completed are very inconsistent and the numbers are rather meaningless :/

    The first step would have been to read and process the suggestions in your already existing thread(s) instead of creating a new post with a slightly modified question.

    You seem to be confusing federation and confederation. It is to be expected that the individual divisions of a federation are only partially sovereign. That's why your question is too vague. The EU is a supranational union of sovereign states and the individual multi-party systems are too different to be clustered as one multi-party system in comparison to India.

    That being said, even the individual multi-party systems in India are different from each other. While they belong together and do not differ structurally, culturally and historically they have their differences and there are different norms and problems. E.g. you have the absurd influence of cinema dynasties in a few states, and then in a few other states there is rather a stronger religious influence.

    Not really the meat of your question, but in my opinion it already lost its punch at its creation, given its etymology. I wish we would have hit the reset button and clarify that when "Semites" and "antisemite" refer to only Jews, it's only in the historical context of Nazi Germany. Sometimes I wonder, if I should simply use antisemitism for the hatred against Palestine, too, and that without any context or explanation.

    This year I've hardly watched any movies on my own so far. I think my other hobbies simply demand more time and there is nothing I urgently want to watch currently. Even the movies I only slightly desire to watch are just some of my favorite movies like Akahige that I haven't seen in a long time.

    Yes, recently I complained about a local goon and accidentally accused them of being a Gen Alpha, but they were late Gen Z. To prevent incorrect generational discrimination I propose an extension of the generations in the format {generation label}-{birth datetime in ISO 8601}-{country code}:{postalcode}-{firstname}:{lastname}-{random-id}. Now I can correctly complain how the "GenZ-2007-05-01T09:00:00Z-de:33604-Lazlo-Ailton- 16b849e3-3368-4df0-b4c1-56e9cf46c5fb" are lazy slowpokes who will be the doom of the world.

    Unfortunately I fail to do it regularly, but I love it. On the one hand it helps me to wrap up the day, clear my head and fall asleep. On the other hand I love to reflect on snapshots of my past thoughts and experiences.

    It also depends on the type of journal. For example I maintain a dream journal, too, which improves your dream recall. Furthermore discovering patterns, confusions and in general yourself in your dreams is fascinating.

    Letters don't have colors, but people may associate a specific color with a letter. It could be influenced by logos, symbols and just about anything that affected us personally in our life. It's not a logical binding.

    E.g. I can imagine that a lot of people will associate the letter "x" with the color red, because they are often displayed in that color, especially when it symbolizes deletion. Perhaps someone was a big fan of the pro wrestling stable D-Generation X and therefore they see x in a green color. Another person thinks of a black X, because they are addicted to Twitter.

    However I think most of us don't know why exactly we associate a color to a letter and it's the result of a looooot of links and associations.

    If you were a writer and I helped you with research, e.g. I suggest an adjective to you at your request that you even dismiss after some pondering, then is it correct to say that you used me to write for you? Is it the same as if I was your ghostwriter?

    My point is not that ChatGPT for research is awesome, but that the article's headline and OP's conclusion are very misleading. While I can relate to that enthusiasm, I don't believe in mincing down a source to my narrative. It's even counter-productive to spread awareness about ChatGPT's incorrectness using an incorrect takeaway from someone's statements...

    Sometimes I want to listen to raw song covers that are ideally just video recordings without digital alterations. I used to be able to just look up *song name* acoustic/unplugged cover on Youtube and I'd already get what I want.

    These days sometimes covers labeled as such aren't acoustic in the first place. Or even if they are, they have an overly clean or a synthetic "overproduced" sound, which is not what I'm looking for. I want a white noise in the background or little nuisances. I want the artist in the foreground and not the assembly, production quality or the mixing. Therefore I'd have to filter for older videos, look for 'amateurish'/unprompted settings in the thumbnails or check out every video in the search results one by one.

    For reference, this is an example for what I want: Creep (Radiohead) - Cover by Connie Park - Youtube.

    As beautiful as it is, this is an example for what I want filtered out: Never gonna give you up (Rick Astley) - Cover by Callum J Wright.

    Am I missing a trick to find what I'm looking for?

    I have Humbe Bundle gift keys for these games that were part of the WB Play the Legends Encore bundle. I couldn’t get rid of them, so hopefully I’ll find a recipient here.

    • Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate Edition
    • FEAR: Ultimate Shooter Edition
    • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
    • MORTAL KOMBAT XL
    • Injustice Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition

    If you are interested in any of these games, please let me know and I’ll share the key with you. The redemption deadline for all of them is 2026/06/18.

     

    Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.

    This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.

     

    After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

    Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

    Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

    What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.
