These words come from Lorem Ipsum, dummy text used by graphic designers to showcase a font or typeset, rather than distract the reader with the text itself. It looks like Latin because it comes from De Finis Bonorum Et Malorum ("on the limits of good and evil"), one of Cicero's most lengthy works of Latin literature.

For more routine work that isn't as deep but is still cognitively demanding, I usually stay at my desk and put on a post-rock playlist and https://mynoise.net/ on top of it (I like Irish coast), so loud that any other noise gets blocked out. I put a sign up saying not to disturb me. Source: 7 months ago

Spotify needs to license https://mynoise.net and include their dozens of soundscapes into the Spotify client. The captured audio soundscapes are high quality, engineered, mixable audio from many relaxing and peaceful natural and artificial environments. Tossing a few million dollars towards the MyNoise people for something that's currently donor-ware would be amazing for the creators as well as opening up the... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
