It was probably constructed in the 1960s, as it originally belonged to my father. Not a canteen-style bottle, but a bona-fide canteen. Imagine two pie pans, one inverted over the other, and welded together at their rims, with the cap hole drilled through the bottom of one pan. That's the basic shape. Smooth out the edges to be more like spherical sections, and put the result in a snap-shut canvas holder, with a shoulder strap.

You have likely never seen the shape I am referring to.

At some point, someone decided to move the caps to the cylindrical sides, rather than keep them on one of the round faces, and then you couldn't fit the thing under a bathroom sink faucet any more, and a drinking fountain needed a bit more arc to fill it. Difficult fill locations might only fill those up halfway. This was likely done to accommodate blow-molded plastic canteens, and to manufacture from flat and rolled sheet metal, rather than pressed.

So now, even if you buy a "real" canteen, the cap is pointing in the wrong direction, and you might as well just have a large, awkward bottle.

All this thing is telling me is anyone who is a self-defined member of a party, no matter if it is Democrat, Republican, Liberal, or whatever, hold "extreme views", where that is defined as being a grittier bolder version of reality; to put it bluntly, this thing tells me that people who are "into" politics are trolls, and should be avoided, no matter which party they subscribe to.

I mean, it calls itself "The Perception Gap", except there really isn't any such thing by the way they describe it: half the things they ask about are factual things (such as the second amendment (it doesn't matter if you personally think we shouldn't bare arms, it is in the Constitution on how and when to do so), or America being a socialist country (FDR made America adopt many Socialist ideals, forming a hybrid of modern Socialism and our existing Democratic Republic, to fill the gaps in one with the other)); the other half are just polarizing issues that are complex, nuanced, and not something you merely can ask on a simple questionnaire.

The whole article says things that are true, but tries to build a narrative around those things that doesn't quite function. For it to be effective, imo, it should just straight out claim people don't like the truth, don't like the reality they live in, and have chosen to ignore it or recontextualize it into something more palatable instead of accepting it: reality is still real, even when you don't believe in it.

The truth is: our politics are shaped by people who live in pure fantasy, they are allowed to vote, even though they aren't even capable of understanding what they are voting on, or what the outcome will actually mean (ex: Trump protest votes helped get Trump elected, even though the people making the protest votes readily admitted Trump was a bad candidate and would not make a good President), and the article just dances around the issue instead of nailing it.

They feel pressure socially and academically; they look ahead in time and see inequality, climate change and automation; they look at their phones and see social media and its ills; they look around them and see others committing suicide, being addicted to something or other, or they just generally see a shitty society in the US today. Their politicians are old white men catering to old white folks and rural folks. They see the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars and the financial crisis, low wages, hollowed out Rust Belt...It's not hard to list many reasons why my peers have been lost to suicide in increasing numbers.

I myself have lost a close friend from scouts. He was a complex person, orphan from another country adopted into affluent US family. Struggled to fit in, he was short and heavy, but he had a kind soul and loved to blacksmith, making swords and weaponry. He never quite succeeded with girls or social circles, but eventually he met a girl on WoW finally, moved across country for her, since he felt he had nothing else positive in his life. She married then divorced him within 2 years, and he killed himself soon after, feeling he had no other prospects and having no adequate treatments for his depression.

I had a suspicion that winter-time headaches we were having might be triggered by high CO2 levels so I simply wanted to record the CO2 levels in different rooms. Thanks to the sensors, I did, in fact, find that CO2 levels were very high in our bedroom. Once I improved ventilation, things seem to have gotten better.
Thanks, forgot what it was, and didn't have time to dig around in the docs where I first ran into it.

Hi, I might be able to connect you guys with come folks/resources out here in Southern California/Tijuana!
https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/painting-a-christmas-... - A little project I created to 'paint' my Christmas tree lights.

https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/diy-inline-refractome... - I'm currently working on an inline refractometer using a pi zero to capture the output and attempt to convert to a digital reading.

https://www.anfractuosity.com/projects/wildlife-camera/ - I've also got a pi zero setup in an IP68 case, with waterproof USB cable, to capture wildlife in the garden.

This uses a simple script using picamera, to detect motion and record video, which I then just rsync to my laptop. I tried to use a PIR sensor, but alas the casing seemed to block IR. I'm planning on using a doppler radar sensor instead at some point.
There are three perspectives on inventory: What you want to have, what you think you have, and what you actually have. Reconcile :)
I love this angle. There's a lot of room to improve the methodology, but this is getting at the heart of the question of why we are seeing increasingly polarized politics.

With a wide perception gap, we are guaranteed to be framing our opponents' views inaccurately and therefore fighting the wrong battles if movement at a societal level is actually what is desired.

The more politically diverse your direct in-person interactions are, the better your perception gap, and the more likely you are to be able to accurately frame your opponents' arguments when debating with them.
We might as well try. Everyone probably laughed at the guy that first ate old, soggy grains, now it's a multi-billion dollar industry.
Neat! How does it work?

I haven't actually seen a single 1080p raw bluray file with a higher video bitrate than 35 Mbps. Maybe with TrueHD/Atmos audio the total bitrate could push past 40, but 100 Mbps is way more than you need for 1080p.

Even 4k doesn't seem to push past 50 Mbps, but I think that's because h.265/HEVC is more efficient for the same observed quality/CRF.
My point is that 'prefer to rent' is inaccurate. 'In no position to buy' is probably more precise.
Agreed. Without that selling point then I'd say for all non-sensitive content, the cross-platform (Python) magic-wormhole [1] should suffice.

Instead it looks like they ignored it at best.
People forget that institutions take time to develop. They also forget that high-trust institutions frequently begin with a dictator. The end-point is high-trust/low-coercion, but you can't get there from low-trust/low-coercion. First you have to go through a high-trust/high-coercion state, after which you can gradually taper off the coercive elements as institutions mature and the individual actors get used to the new normal.

This is exactly how the liberal societies of the west evolved. But don't remember that any more, though.

- No fall-back system in place.

- Alternative alert went out with the wrong information.

That seems plenty to me.

As far as the siren is concerned: the general alert system is meant for serious threats to public safety, it does not require 'a new phone number in morse', the output is a single bit: siren on: stay indoors, close doors and windows, wait for all clear sign (three short bursts on the siren).
I would. I feel more performant (as a dev I mean, I'm not referring to code) with Rust after a year than with Go after 6 years. Which to me indicates that at least for myself, Rust is a language that allows me to get things done more quickly. Iterators especially.

With that said, I definitely wouldn't throw Rust at the Python/Go devs in my shop expecting them to be better/faster at it. It can have significant spin up time and, most importantly, if you're used to doing things unsafely by using bad patterns Rust will be hell for you.

I commented recently that I think Rust can be far more simple than people give it credit for. Namely, that you can write Rust in the same manner as Go, pretending Rust was Go. However going far beyond that too quickly is a world of hurt, from personal experience at least.

"Democrats and Republicans both agree there are problems."

That's a meaningless statement - everyone everywhere agrees there are problems!

The all-important fact is that people on either side disagree about what the problems even are. So the difference is not in the solutions, but rather in the entire idea of what needs to be solved in the first place.

Hmm.

My feelings on this are kind of muddled, mostly due to my own biases. I'm very much a libertarian (technically, an anarcho-capitalist) but feel much more affinity for the GOP than the Democrats. Objectively, I share about the same amount with each party but I have lived the vast majority of my life in very conservative communities.

One of the things I didn't mention that bothered me about the article was that it excluded pretty much all of the minority factions in American politics, such as libertarians. I thought that the article was about Democrat vs. Republican, so that sorta made sense... but reading the hiddentribes.us site that it references, now I'm not so sure. Their categorization seems forced to me.

I'm exhausted because the flow of information far exceeds and even inhibits any effective response. Death by a thousand paper cuts... the many public factions immobilized by each focusing on their most recent and painful cut.
I don't have a project yet -- but one I'm really interested in is having a Raspberry Pi run and store historical data from an air quality (particle) measurement sensor. I'm hoping to measure how the air quality outside my home (near a freeway) changes during the day and night with traffic, and also how the indoor air quality is impacted.

It outputs UART 9600 baud data (https://sensing.honeywell.com/honeywell-sensing-particulate-...).

Does anyone have a good link to some simple guides / advice on how to run such devices using a RPi?

Thanks!
Yes - the sensors are a bit expensive at about US$ 90 apiece but as I explained in another comment, I think that it has paid for itself
That particular statement stood out at me, juxtaposed right next to the statement that many Muslims are good Americans. At least 10% of respondents believe both that racism is dead and that few Muslims are good Americans!

The “open borders” statement is also interesting. The Republican estimate is almost identical to the estimate for “abolish ICE.” This suggests that many respondents think these two statements are equivalent, a sentiment I’ve seen many times. But of course the idea there is to turn over its functions to another agency or create a new agency. The actual perception gap there is probably a lot larger due to this difference in understanding.

Or consider “Donald Trump is a flawed person.” The listed perception gap for bat one is very small, with both estimate and reality being around 45%. Does that imply that 55% of Republicans think Trump is perfect? The vast majority of Republicans are Christians, and a core tenet of that religion is that Man is inherently flawed. It doesn’t add up. “Flawed” must have a totally different meaning here.

It’s also unfortunate that it doesn’t include each group's estimate of itself. It would give us a much better sense of how significant this gap is if we could see that too.
I enjoy coding in Rust as well, I don't understand why some people try a forced comparison with C++ arguing that Rust is younger in contrast with C++. Sure, but Rust is very promise language and it's not restricted only at system programming scope. It goes a bit more further.
In few years I see Rust taking a place on top and sharing it that place with C++.
That's usually what I do now, but my husband likes to watch CNN or MSNBC at night so there's always some leakage.
We Can Predict Where Measles Will Happen. Why Don’t We?
> Maybe not, but it's still a problem.

Of course it's still a problem. The point is that it's actually a much bigger problem than you implied. People blame the media like it's all just down to some greedy jerks making malicious decisions, and if only we could replace them with someone with integrity, everything would be okay.

The fact is that we've created an environment where it's nearly impossible for honest, non-sensationalized news to exist. Putting all the blame on the media is like blaming a starving man for stealing bread. They're culpable, certainly, but you're missing the root cause.
It is like this in many countries: the right accuses the left of something and the left stretches over backwards not to make these claims true (even if they might make sense).

And the bad thing is, that many people believe these things. I had an old friend telling me frantically that we are guarantueed to get sharia law if I vote for any party left of the conservatives.

They’re spying on you. Since you already give them access to your location, they can use that to find other devices around, pinpoint your location with even more accuracy, and spy on your friends.

Contacts and camera permissions irk me as well. I’d like to give you access to my contacts so I can invite a friend or something, but the app uses the permission to upload all my contacts to their server. Same with photos. Cool, you now have every picture I’ve ever taken.

This industry has an integrity problem. Programmers who write code like this should not be allowed to practice.
