The first one I’m sure how it’s well known, considering it has 9 retweets. Yes, it should be taken town, but I can see how it might be a little low on Twitter’s priority list considering he’s just some random Scottish dude, not really an “influencer” or anything.

The second one was definitely bad taste, and I’m surprised it didn’t get taken down considering she’s at least famous, but I don’t think that’s actually calling for him to be beheaded, I think it’s a really shitty attempt at being an art piece.

But neither of these are really plotting armed insurrection against a democratically elected government, are they? Not really as vile as spreading word that liberals are baby rapers and calling for their death. It’s like gerrymandering: sure, technically both parties do it, but I only ever here calls to end it from one party, whereas the other does all it can to continue the process, and the scale at which republicans do it is much, much greater.

Dylann Roof, James Alex Fields, Cesar Sayoc, Patrick Crusius. Those are very few of the many, many right wing terrorists this country has produced recently - just the ones I could name off the top of my head. The only examples of left wing terrorist attacks I could find were the SDS and SLA from half a century ago. We don’t have a problem with left wing terrorism. Left wing groups aren’t infiltrating police departments. Sure, there are a few bad actors on the left. But it’s several orders of magnitude different than the right and to say “well both sides do it” is basically just willful ignorance at this point.

Most leftists I interact with want basic healthcare to be covered by tax dollars, living wages, a path to citizenship for immigrants, equal rights, etc. I’ve encountered very few outside of very small little cliques who were actually interested in taking rights away from people or in killing anyone. I was in the WTO protests in Seattle, I have lived in Portland for many years, and now I live in a really red area. The right wingers I encounter(ed, pre-covid) were happy to tell me how they think illegals should be shot, how liberals aren’t really people, how all democrats are pedophiles, how they don’t want (insert minority) living in this community because they’re dirty/criminals/whatever, how they carry a gun at all times in case a black person comes up on them. On and on. Waiting to have a chance to kill a fellow American. This is not something I see from both sides. These are just regular people, not extreme radicals part of some splinter group. This is the run-of-the-mill right wing.
> So you end up running at 1/10th of the speed your tool could move at to avoid that ...

Doesn't that only happen when the controller either doesn't know (or can't decently handle) the limits for a given machine?

eg if a machine could (say) only accurately (without losing steps) push the spindle at 1000mm/min, with maximum jerk of (say) 0.5

If your controller doesn't know to keep in those limits... it makes sense steps will be lost when going past those limits.

So, seems more like a tuning problem?

That being said, closed loop stepper systems exist, though I haven't (yet) personally tried them.
Musescore.com and musescore.org has been acquired by Ultimate Guitar. I’m the founder of Ultimate Guitar. Nice to meet you.

The situation is this: Musescore.com was about to get shut down because of massive copyright infringement. The future of MS Editor would be unclear under those circumstances. After the acquisition, we’ve made deals with all major music publishers plus thousands of independent publishers to license its offering. The downside of the process is that we had to takedown about 1% of the catalog (however the current offering grew x2 since then).

Upside is this:
1. Catalog is still free for everyone
2. Downloads are restricted just for copyrighted songs, because
3. Copyright owners get paid for their content since then
4. Original and public domain songs have no download restriction
5. Since acquisition the team behind MuseScore grew x7 times, as well as open source contributor community grew x2.
6. We are at 3.6 version now, which is the last stable version before 4.x, which is coming this year
7. 4.x will likely feature major workflow improvements, playback improvements, VST support etc.

I’m happy to answer all your questions.

I wish this wouldn't take over my browser history like that.
Good catch I should have looked into that a little deeper. It might be a case of confirmation bias.

There is one point that Tim Pool made that I think still stands. you have to moderate such that all content is within the Overton window. Only the left and right have different views on what does and does not fit inside this window. For example right wingers want to argue about the role of trans rights in womens sports. Much of the left and Twitter consider this to be outside of the Overton window.
This did happen, repeatedly, throughout his presidency. There's video evidence, it isn't difficult to find.

With respect, it's clear you're no historian.

Don't forget that Alexander Hamilton was fatally shot in a duel with then Vice President Aaron Burr in 1804 [0].

> Few affairs of honor actually resulted in deaths, and the nation was outraged by the killing of a man as eminent as Alexander Hamilton. Charged with murder, Burr, still vice president, returned to Washington, D.C., where he finished his term immune from prosecution.

I always thought it was the opposite. Struggling through something gets my mind of something else.
I think this is BS, actually. I think I'm allowed to say that because I've completed some long-ass hikes and other suffer-fests myself.

Suffering, in and of itself, isn't a skill. You will endure iff you want to endure. That is, if the perceived benefits of enduring outweigh the pain.

I've suffered through multi-week hikes with blisters and a too-heavy pack because I loved the views, the remoteness, the self-reliance and asceticism. And also because there were no good alternatives, because bailing midway would have been a different kind of emotional and logistical pain.

I've also bailed on things. Not a ton of them but always with good reason. I quit a job I hated after trying to suck it up for too long. I quit my college sports team after barely getting played for two years. I left a long-term relationship when I realized my partner wasn't treating me well.

I don't think of those bails as failures. They just didn't work out, and I'm happier without those things in my life. In fact I'm proud of myself for putting aside my pride and fear of being a 'quitter' in order to pull the plug on them. The hikes I suffered through aren't successes, either. With experience I've gotten better at preparing and packing, so even longer and more challenging hikes are easier for me now. Better views and more comfort is where it's at. No need to suffer just for the sake of suffering.
Seems like maybe you would have been good to talk to Kaiser or other companies more directly incentivized towards positive health outcomes?

Is there any Fediverse member that's more akin to HN/reddit? As in, one where people post to some public wall (sub) as opposed to a personal one. They all seem to focus on microblogging.

Maybe they don't find reddit broken enough to fix (nor do I really) or maybe I'm missing a point.
That is not what happens. At least not the only thing that happens. You risk infection that can climb into the nervous system in your face, the pain you have now could not compare. The consequences of damage to the nerves can be life long.

An accused person can and should be able to say whatever she wants about her accusations and the process. There are instances where they can't in the US and I think that is wrong. I'm not arguing in favor of secret courts. I'm arguing in favor of preserving a person's reputation until and unless the person can be proven guilty. Or at least until facts have been reasonably well established in court.
Deleted a comment about how "not unreasonable" isn't equivalent to "unreasonable", because I think OP was actually making a different point: like Orwell pointed out in Politics and the English Language (and, yes, this argument has been making the rounds since at least the 1940s)---the problem isn't that the phrase is the same as "reasonable", but that it's so hackneyed as to lose any value.

One issue I've run into when I looked into strategies like this is that bonds have been an incredible investment over the last ~40 years. Sure, they haven't beaten the S&P500 straight up, but their volatility and max drawdown has been so good that you could have used leverage with them and gotten a portfolio that easily beats the S&P500 with as good or better volatility.

The problem for me going forward is that these returns for the last 40 years have been do to falling interest rates. Can the rates keep falling? A little bit more. Will they go negative like some other countries? Maybe? But at some point I have to wonder if this strategy is still viable.
You sure love to move the goalposts.
Back for my first hackintosh, I bought MacOS on CD, which came with a big Apple logo sticker. A careful reading of the EULA allowed executing MacOS on "Apple logoed hardware". Done!
No my comment is simply to advocate for the development of the child over the second chances for the parent.

Permanency is a child welfare term regarding a permanent placement for the child, not some grotesques parent sterilization program as you are implying.

You are operating under the incorrect assumption that I somehow think the parents are at fault, my argument is that the children should not be the ones that pay for the learning process of the parents.

Also implying that I am a Nazi/eugenics promoter is a red hearing and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Pantry seemed to have heavy stuff that was not normally for sale on prime. Big bags of rice and such
I strongly disagree with the author here.
Good writing is not ornamental, it can be concise.

On the other hand, bad writing is often too long, convoluted and opaque.

The purpose of good style is to optimize the qualities of a text, not to flatter the author or the reader.
You are are assuming facts not in evidence. We don't know for sure what the raid was about.
You might be able to interface Mechaduino or MKS controllers between your steppers and drivers to make them pesudo-closed loop. They still get driven by step+dir however the position is continuously integrated by the controller and stepper is driven directly to the correct position based on a fitted magnetic encoder and calibration profile.
I thought the article made a reasonably convincing case that decentralized networks provide better tools for good actors to control the spread of disinformation.

What does it mean to "remove the cancer before it decentralizes" in this context?
I had a CNC, mill, and lathe but the biggest problem is how expensive it is to operate it (excluding the machine). You want a good end mill? $100. Vacuum plate because why not? $400. You have to use some serious cash to machine parts which forced me to pretty much use my 3D printer most of the time since it cost me $2 rather than $50 to make the part.
Agreed. Until you’ve programmed something with a magnetized needle and a steady hand, it’s not from scratch. I think somewhere between the “here is an HTTP proxy in 0 lines of code because I just used nginx/haproxy/varnish and wrote no code”, “here it is in 10 lines of code using Twisted/Tornado/Flask/whatever framework”, “in 100 lines using Ruby’s or Python’s stdlib”, and “I wrote it in C/Rust/Go using nothing but language primitives” the real work happens. Where that line is, is subjective because we are all at different places in what we know already and what we are currently learning. To my the only issue would be if people who know more try to misrepresent something to people who know less. As long as the goods are correctly labeled, it all has a place: we all need to know how to configure nginx, how to proxy a request using Twisted or Ruby’s standard library, and how to write a basic web server. I just think we should be careful not to mix them up.
The segment who opposed the Civil Rights Act, including the senators who filibustered it for nearly 60 days to force a compromised version and the business owners who openly defied it for years in protest, seems like a good place to start.

Every single incident on that page involves a series of "protestors" who were forcibly ejected from a series of 2016 rallies after attempting to disrupt them, and in one case, involves a "protestor" getting removed by the secret service after trying to rush the stage.

Snopes is here holding up the president saying he'd punch someone who rushed onto the stage as "encouraging violence at his rallies", which is such a willfully disingenuous attempt at poisoning the well it calls the entire article into question.

That is not the same thing, not what we're talking about here, and it is not honest to equate them. People who disrupt rallies absolutely deserve to be removed from those rallies with appropriate force.

Because I the user am running a forward proxy to encrypt all outgoing HTTP requests, I do not have to rely on "HTTPS-only" on the server side. I enforce "HTTP-everywhere" on the client side. That's the theory anyway.

To be honest there are still some sites that do not, and will probably never, offer HTTPS and I have to account for those with the proxy setup. For these websites I might assign them a different local IP that does not add encryption.

In running this setup there are some times where I find that for one reason or another "HTTPS-only" on the server side has failed to catch every instance where http:// should be https://. I use many different clients, the least of which is the modern browser which may have some whizbang features to try to enforce "HTTPS-everywhere". The clients I use more are simpler, less complex and do not have such features. Instead of relying on the modern browser, I rely on an extensive proxy configuration to make sure everything gets encrypted (when appropriate).
If you are writing academically, please watch this (or other) session by Larry McEnerney, Director of the University of Chicago's Writing Program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtIzMaLkCaM , this is what he's been teaching for a long time, very eye-opening.
I'm not sure this intends to read as a parody, but it does.

To the USG, that's incitement—look what happened immediately after.

There aren't 25K troops in DC as I write this because Trump did not incite a coup/insurrection, they are they because he did. The reaction itself is the proof.

You may not think Trump's rally should have had that effect, but at this point, it's moot: it did.
This wasn’t what I expected, the bit about formal specification languages was really (pleasantly) surprising. I happen to have been spending a ton of time recently writing TLA+ and Alloy as the author mentioned. It’s completely changed my perspective on testing, definitely.

But the really surprising thing is how much they affected how I think about software overall. You know, at work I’m busy trying to build things. But taking a step back to understand what computation really is has been so helpful for even the code I’m writing on a daily basis.

Specifically with Alloy, which has an awesome state viewer, you can use it as a tool for prototyping ideas really quickly. It does suck that you can’t take that and use it to test your actual code, but I have ideas there :)

Anyway, yea I can’t recommend those tools enough. I think specification will grow in popularity soon - and no that doesn’t mean specifying your whole program up front. It’s totally possible to spec a program out iteratively. The value is huge - we write user stories and have product docs somewhere which explain what it is we’re building, but they get completely discarded after building. Having a highly simplified description of what a piece of software is expected to do is invaluable, especially as members come and go on the team. Agreed. In 2021, we don’t need another programming language. We need to master the tools and processes that we have.
> Automotive mechanics is a learning process, fixing cars is a side effect.

Well, no. but replace automotive engineering - a more direct analogy to software developer - and yes.

> Practicing medicine is a learning process, healing people is a side effect.

As someone married to a physician, you'd actually be surprised how accurate that statement is. There are many thinks we have medical confidence, but there are also many things that we have limited knowledge about - especially new areas of medicine.

----

I don't think your argument sounds that ridiculous. We know a lot about computers. What we often don't know a lot about is the business requirements - which are fundamentally human driven. In my experience, technical knowledge is rarely the limitation for good software. It's an inability to discover the human needs of someone else.
I don't know what the laws or policies are in Florida for such things. I can see a privacy right being violated I the case where a state reveals the subject of a warrant that could be mistakenly issued. For example, if someone used my wifi to download child porn and the cops executed a search warrant on my computers, I would absolutely not want want them to make any public statement.
There is no 'conspiracy theory' in the clear and obvious observation of an insurrection on Capitol Hill wherein many attempted to thwart the Jan 6 validation of votes.

Despite Dragon's decent response, it is far from clear what the outcome would be where the vote to have been stopped.

It's also false to suggest that the laws are clear enough to disambiguate these situations.

At very least, there would be a constitutional legal war the likes of which the country has never seen.

But most importantly - the issue is one of populism: if 1/3 of the country does not believe the results of what was by all accounts an unambiguous outcome - and were capable of literally stopping the process - then it 'doesn't matter what the law is' because already the system will have gone beyond objective reality and due process. It's Game of Thrones then.

I've used XOR for undo/redo when I had limited memory in a painting app:

- You have the canvas in state S before you draw on it and the canvas in state T after you draw on it.

- Store (S XOR T). XOR this against T to undo back to S and XOR again to redo back to T.

So if you want to have 10 levels of undo, you only need to store the final state and the 10 XOR diffs that got you there. The diffs will compress well too because most of the pixels on them will be blank (where nothing changed).

All fairly easy to implement too e.g. compared to storing and replaying high-level commands to redo.
While I don't doubt many leftists were violent in those BLM protests, many of them were not leftists. Many were anarchists, which its hard to be both at the same time. Also, some who were actually charged by the federal DoJ were members of right-wing groups trying to ignite the race war. These aren't conspiracy theories, these are looking at the actual people charged with committing violence during these protests.

However, the stock price of Zoom Technologies Inc (stock ticker ZTNO, but at the time ZOOM), a completely unrelated company based in China, went up by something like 1000%, due to what is generally believed to be uninformed day traders who saw "Zoom Technologies" and assumed it was the videoconferencing company.

This assumes all papers are of equal quality, peer-review and accuracy of results. Which we know they are not. Some studies should have more weight than others. Which has been mentioned in a previous comment; there is no 'right' answer, just a variety of ways to allocate different weights to papers based on various metrics.
