Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you pronounce zebra in your country: zeebra or rhymes with Debra?
10·6 months agoZay-braah I guess, if I would try to write Dutch sounds in English spelling.
There’s a sound version available at https://webwoordenboek.nl/uitspraak/zebra

Europe@feddit.org•European country vows to give homeowners ‘free electricity' instead of switching off wind turbinesEnglish
23·7 months ago“Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.”
Wow. That’s such a brilliant new idea –except that across the North Sea this has been possible for several years now. A so called ‘dynamic contract’ prices electricity based on supply and demand, which changes every hour. Sometimes you pay more than the ‘flat rate’, but also sometimes you even get paid for using electricity.
ATMs here (Netherlands) max out at €50 bills

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who live in the Netherlands, how is it there?
15·10 months agoMost of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.
German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.
The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.
Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

Programming@programming.dev•Can you suggest any online typing game for measuring the speed and accuracy of kids in real time ? It's preferable that it's in the form of graphics like video games, which the kids enjoy playing
4·1 year agoNot exactly what you asked, but close I think: a (paid) full gamified typing course for kids, in several languages including English: https://www.typetopia.com/

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sign language interpretters would probably be great at spelling bees
31·1 year agoPeople that use a keyboard spell out each word they type. They still need spellcheckers.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sign language interpretters would probably be great at spelling bees
71·1 year agoWhy? Do you think signing is done by spelling out words?
Psst, are you sleeping?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If children are taught to read by AI there is no shot they don't teach them wrong and change language forever.
23·2 years agoDo you really assume that language does not change if there is no AI involved in teaching? Try reading texts from a century – or even 50 years – ago.
I am not an AI fan but your argument is just fearmongering.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude
1·2 years agoI’m no specialist, but (1) don’t most solar panels have a fixed inclination and orientation? Depending on the location that will not be as optimal at each day of the year because of the tilt of the earth. (2) The weather/cliimate will have an effect too. Your 2nd image is apparently showing kWh/kWp - so the longer term yield (h=hours) divided by the theoreticall maximum (p=peak). So it shows longer term efficiency , vs the yield at a certain moment like you appear to be focusing on.
