Our current ML Neural Networks work (simplified) like this: A neuron emits a number and the next neuron calculates a new number to emit based on all the values given to it by other neurons as inputs. Our brain can't fire numbers in this way. So there's a fundamental difference. Bridging this difference to create NNs that are more similar to our brains is the basis of the study of Spiking Neural Networks. Their performance so far isn't great, but it's an interesting topic of research.

Considering the position Germany has in the EU, this is very unlikely

It's actually not legal in the Netherlands, it's a very strange and frankly kind of bad set up. This is what the other commenter meant with "fake legalization".

You can read up on it here: https://cannigma.com/regulation/marijuana-laws-netherlands/

The issues here are largely with the EU which stops it from being sold in stores. For now, possession is legalised and you can have all previous arrests made because you were carrying up to 25g permanently removed from your record. It also legal to grow at home.

In this sense, it is legal for personal use but not for commercial use. To get access to weed, they will be rolling out "cannabis social clubs" in summer in which you need to be a member to be allowed to buy weed. These clubs are not allowed to make a profit. There is a plan to later do some tests with commercial usage but its not clear where that is on the roadmap.

It will be interesting to see if this will have any effects on the EU. I can imagine if more countries want to support the legalization that some hurdles can be removed there.

I have running shorts that have an extra inlay which functions as sort of underwear. So I dont feel as if Im going commando but I kind of am. In winter I go commando in leggings and wear the shorts on top to cover up a bit. If youre not going commando you should put thought into what material youre going to wear as underpants because not being breathable in your crotch area, especially on a bike is going to be extremely uncomfortable.

I was able to stop by teaching myself classical guitar. Suddenly there was a reason to have nails and it was easy to stop. I guess it's similar to the other guy having nail polish. Find a reason for yourself to have fingernails instead of simply trying to stop biting them.

But that was the point of the DLCs. Fans complained that there werent any truly challenging parts to the game. So you could opt into Nightmare King Grimm if you wanted a hard boss right. Normal Grimm is pretty easy by comparison.

Still wasnt enough so you got Godseeker mode with pure vessel and true radiance - you cant find these if you aren't into hard boss fights. Path of Pain was introduced for a hard platform level. Doing these things gives you nothing so it's completely optional.

I think this is a very fair approach to difficulty. I love hard metroidvanias but wouldnt want to exclude anyone from Hollow Knight (just give me something optional and difficult somewhere).

What’s interesting is that this problem is largely solved for C and C++: Linux distributions like Debian package such a wide range of libraries that for many things that you want to develop or install, you don’t need any third-party libraries at all.

This person has made some very different experiences to myself. How does C++ handle versioning? How do you compare versions across distros or even OSs? How do you control which features are included? How do you make sure your chosen build tools finds these files?

Projects like conan try to do what crates.io does for Rust and it's not the greatest experience. The other direction is something like Buck2 that puts the whole dependency in your project so you can have hermetic builds.

I have no idea how any of this can be seen as an advantage in a development workflow.

I personally wasn't doing any content creation beforehand so I only started with the Affinity products.

For me, I find it easy enough to use, even as a beginner. If I can't find out how to do something even after googling for "How to do x in Affinity" I can just Google for how to do it in the Adobe version and usually it's really easy to find the corresponding tool in Affinity.

If you're a pro you probably have very specific demands for your creation programs which may mean that you need to stick with Adobe. But if you aren't aware of any demands you have, Affinity fits the bill easily.

I'll try to remember to check them out closer to the day

You could also get the trial version for a month for testing it out

Most deals aren't up yet so I think you're a bit early.

However my number 1 recommendation would be the Serif Affinity products. They will probably be on sale for something like half price. 35 euros for a lifetime purchase of something that really gives Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign a run for its money.

My number two would be ProtonMail. Though you shouldn't buy this before using a free account for a while.

Good running shoes are engineered to increase performance. You will definitely be slower without.
