Better, but I don't think the conjugation/declension was done right.
I did not, actually, take latin (or greek) at school.

Better, but I don't think the conjugation/declension was done right.
I did take Latin in high school, but I still had to look it up:
#include <iostream> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::cout << "AVETE MVNDI" << std:endl; }
-
std::cout << "AVETE MVNDI" << std:endl;
Hmm...
Google translate suggests "Salve mundi".
-
@cvi AVETE is the plural imperative of the verb AVEO, and it means "Hail" (plural).
SALVETE MUNDI is probably better. SALVE / SALVETE means something like "Be well" (singular / plural).
You have to match the number of the verb and the object (in this case the vocative plural).
If you want singular, then you could say SALVE MUNDE.
-
@djls45 But I only want to hail one world (singular): SALVE MVNDE
It's "hello world", not "hello worlds".
-
vocative plural
I was just copy-pasting from Google Translate - I pretty much failed the then-mandatory latin classes (and hated them with most of the fibers of my being).
That said, I'd probably go for "Salve munde". Not sure why you'd go for the plural (and why Google Translate is insisting on using the plural form).
As an aside,
#include <cstdio> int main() { std::printf( "Ladies of the world!" ); return 0; }
has a certain charm.
-
I did take Latin in high school, but I still had to look it up:
Are you supposed to address "the world" as singular or plural (as you did)? Honest question, I don't know.
My crappy high school Latin would actually prefer "salvete", but just because it seems more common, not because I know the difference.
You answered that before I even replied.

I don't argue about Latin grammar; I argue about Greek (and English) grammar. (But only because I don't know Latin. If I did, I'd about it, too.)

Shouldn't that be sexum (accusative)?

Perhaps, but there are a bunch of languages ahead of it on the list of things to learn. Greek, Spanish and German are WIP. Hebrew would be, too, but Duolingo starts with the assumption that you already know the alphabet, which is an incorrect assumption. (The Greek course starts with the opposite assumption, also wrong, and drills you on the alphabet repeatedly, long after you've mastered it.) Latin would be maybe #10 on the list.

A few days ago I was looking for information on how to build something that is not super mainstream. I find a hit on YouTube for a video that would help. Said video was (I think) Russian.
Now my YouTube feed is like 20-30% Russian.
Goddamnit YouTube. I was looking for ideas. The video was good enough for my purposes. I don't speak fucking Russian. Stop it you fucking retards.

I always always start in incognito, and lately YouTube has suggested me videos I've already seen, even if I'm seeing unrelated videos.
This is not suspicious at all.
-
@Zecc Incognito doesn't mean never ever in any way tracked. It just (supposedly) means that separate sessions won't be connected together and that session data will be cleared from your computer and browser when the last incognito tab/window closes.
Also, Google, et al., could still track the source IP for requests from the server side instead of from your browser and build a user profile that way.
-
@djls45 Evidently.
I should have added though: this has persisted across reboots.
It doesn't seem to happen much across devices. So I guess their tracking is based on both IP address and user agent string.
Which I guess is sensible (from the point of view of tracking, while completely ignoring the user's wishes as manifested by the periodic removal of cookies and storage data).

It's not meant to protect you from Google or your ISP, just from your local browser history. IIRC it even says so when you first open a private window.

You know what's worse than extremely convoluted code with zero comments? Extremely convoluted code with outdated comments that describe a different behavior than what the function does currently.
You know what's worse than extremely convoluted code with outdated comments? Extremely convoluted code with comments that describe the future planned behavior as if it was currently implemented, meaning there has been not a single point in time where the comment was ever correct.
Why. Just why.
-

I found some old driver code once that had one OS name in the filename, a different unrelated OS name in the function names, and the actual implementation only worked on a third unrelated OS.

Sounds like a normal Polish word
Zażółcił jaźń żółcią żółw.
I wanted to see what that meant in English. According to Google translate:
Zażółcił jaźń żółcią żółw = Yellow turtle turned yellow
I was curious why there are two different words for yellow.Removing the last word completely changes the meaning:
Zażółcił jaźń żółcią = Yellowing of the self with bile
Zażółcił jaźń = Yellowed self
Zażółcił = Zażółcił (i.e. no translation)Is Google translation of Polish really that poor, or does the meaning of words in Polish completely change depending on what comes after them?
Or is this just an idiom?

Sigh...
I have 645 Pro which also allows for setting white balance and saving DNG files without processing, but that's beside the point. When your phone boasts 3 fucking cameras and costs as much as a mid-range DSLR body it could at least:
-
Have better white balance detection in the native camera app
-
Have easy custom white balance setting in native camera app (by taking a photo of a gray card and using it as a reference)
Instead we have to pay for and use third party camera apps and tweak tiny sliders on the screen which itself by default auto-adjusts its own color reproduction (TrueTone option) to match surrounding lighting thus further fucking with your color perception.
It’s a fucking smart phone. It’s used to create Snapchat pictures where you overlay some stupid doggy ears over your face. The “pro” option is just there so you can spend even more and thus brag about having the more expensive option.
The target audience for this thing doesn’t know what this “white balance“ you’re talking about even is.Addendum: what’s worse, look at all the automatic ML image correction these phones do so you can shoot oversaturated pictures with “#nofilter”. The crappier the phone/camera, the more they boast about those awesome features, and results are craptastically unnatural. But people apparently seem to like it.
