By "hearing" words, sentences, dialogues in their mind. Just like imagining a picture, but audio instead.

Hetzner VPS hosts have 10 GBit links.

The path from source code to distributed binary file is known to be a blind spot. Removing that blind spot is either Harder Than You'd Think or Easier Than You'd Think, depending o…
