I don't believe healthy, social children can be born in this way within our lifetime. Babies start learning their mother tongue in the stomach while being out and about with their mother. There may also be hundreds of other things happening in the stomach that we don't know about, which are needed for healthy children
hooli_gan··on The Rise of the French Fry Cartel
The main problem I see with frying in animal fat is, the already small selection of vegetarian food at most restaurants could be 0, after you also remove fries as an option.

hooli_gan··on FFmpeg 7.0

Zstd is also great for io bottlenecked transfers with its adapt flag. I don't know if you can use it with rsync though.

> --adapt[=min=#,max=#]: zstd will dynamically adapt compression level to perceived I/O conditions.

This is false. In Germany there are Universitäten and Hochschulen. Hochschulen are more practical, at one of these you have programming assignments or projects in nearly every subject. Universitäten are more about the theory but they still have some programming assignments, maybe one subject every semester. At some Unis CS is just a part of the Mathematics department so that is also a factor which makes them even more theoretical.

hooli_gan··on Ask HN: What's on your home server?
How about adding another audio stream to your Video files with ffmpeg? You could even automate it with a script on a cronjob or make a Jellyfin Add-on. You would first have to detect if there is already a mono or stereo stream. Then invoke something like ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:a aac -rematrix_maxval 1.0 -ac 2 output.mp4 (haven't tested this and it would drop subtitles)
