About Kichererbsen

Kichererbsen means chick peas in German - I set up my home office to ride out the pandemic in my kitchen and when I needed a username I looked up and saw a can of chick peas...

    it's beautiful AND incredibly well done. even if you don't plan to ever play dolmenwood: read through the campaign setting!

    I have found that keeping dialog open from early age on helps a lot. If kids get into trouble when they do something they're not allowed to, they're going to learn to stop telling …

    Putting nuclear and fracking next to each other is also wild. Geographically.

    which is ironic, because podcasts are built on this technology, if i remember correctly. but yeah. people "got" podcasts but somehow have a hard time accepting rss/atom readers. i …

    I worked at a chair for 12 years - in that time I've seen a lot of PhD students go through this. If it helps anything at all: It's normal. At this point, you've already proven you'…

    I totally agree. I had to choose and chose a macbook air. Love that little machine! Then, when I had saved up enough, I got myself the ipad (13") for reading ttrpg pdfs. The two ma…

    Solid Terry Pratchett reference right there.

    Man I'm so disappointed: I thought I'd be able to use this tool to learn different British accents but apparently the tool "British" is already an accent...

    I'm not totally sold on the idea itself, but... you don't need to get a 100 ton railcar there. Ship empty railcars and fill it with rocks / sand / water or whatever you find at the…

    Is `mWh` Mega-Watt-Hours? Reads like Milli-Watt-Hours to me, which is obviously not what you intended. I'm used to MWh?

    Sure. But neither do you. So are you really thinking or are you just autocompleting? When was the last time you sat down and solved an original problem for which you had no prior c…

    Fun fact, but also fake news. Emmethaler cheese has holes even in Switzerland. It's the only part of that cheese that tastes any good, so why remove them?

    Comment #45796657

    As a Swiss, confusing Emmenthaler and Gruyere is wild - they're soooo different in just about any property except both being called cheese. And I personally believe Emmenthaler to …

    Sometimes cats just get lost: The go on a walk-about and can't find the way home. I have a hunch that's more common than animal abuse. How does your system address that?

    Unless you've already done projects in both. Then, it might seem trivial? Idk. I haven't looked at either. But if there is such a person out there, with the spare time to look into…

    I often find myself leaving review comments on pull requests where I was surprised. I'll state as much: This surprised me - I was expecting XYZ at this point. Or I wasn't expecting…

    I have a similar thing about the gait and I think it might have to do with me needing glasses, but it being mild enough (-1.0, -2.0) that I didn't wear them as a teenager and in my…

    as someone who's eyeing this combo (for a beginner) - does it need to be the iPad Pro or will i be able to get away with an iPad Air?

    Yes. So much this. I've also always loved combining that with the macro functionality. Except: Yesterday, I used an LLM (4o-mini-high) to do this kind of task instead and i might n…

    I like to use LLMs to create random tables that I then use to spark my imagination. You can easily get o1 to create a bunch of random tables on a topic. Create multiple columns tha…

    This is how a nation gets a reputation for being efficient. It's a pre-requisite for making and selling cars I guess?

    If I remember correctly, RFCs need at least two independent implementations to become standards. I think that would be a good idea for web stuff too. It's a way to make sure the sp…
