In the souk of Sousse, whether the name of the spice is written in Latin or Arabic marks the difference between those sought by tourists, such as “zafran naturel” (natural saffron; actually powdered safflower) and “curcurma parfumé” (aromatic turmeric), and those only purchased by the local population. Open to residents of Sousse and foreigners alike, this trade recalls the essential role played for many centuries by Arabs in the Mediterranean spice trade.

For anyone struggling stopped working on after upgrading main branch of tree to commit 316774b85e4fc8858989a98da1a36075b6cbc8d2 and later with nvidia GPUs, reverting following commits and rebuild graphics/drm-[61|66]-kmod whichever you're using and corresponding graphics/nvidia-drm-[61|66]-kmod[-devel] you're using and reboot would help.

Awesome. With if I needed Solr 8 (which is end of life), I just built the package for arm64 and stuck it in the hosts directory where it could install the package in seconds.

In contrast, Ansible on Linux is set to download the official Solr tarball and run the installation script. It took 16 minutes just to download from Apache's excruciatingly slow distribution web servers. (the tarball is less than 200 MB!)

FreeBSD and it's ports/packages are miles ahead here.

(And before you ask: Ubuntu doesn't have Apache Solr in its official packages)

애플 USB-C to 3.5mm 어댑터가 1만원 이내로 살 수 있는 알리 제품들이랑 음질과 출력이 비슷해서 가성비가 떨어진다는 글을 봤는데, 나는 가성비의 기준이 음질만이 될 수는 없다고 생각함
5천원?대에 산 꼬다리가 유명한 칩셋을 써서 음질과 출력은 애플 어댑터만큼 준수한데 작은 볼륨에서 음소거되는 현상 때문에 주 구매목적이었던 영상 보거나 게임할 때 쓸 수가 없음
근데 레딧 글 보니까 애플 어댑터는 이런 현상이 없다고 함
이런 것까지 더하면 12000원의 가치 충분히 한다고 생각

Generative AI is like the "Draw the Rest of the Owl" meme. Before, I'd draw two circles and give up. Now, I draw the two circles and it can get me something I can iterate on and ship.

The hard part shifts from drawing the owl to getting the two circles right—success depends on the quality of the foundation you lay for it.
