This won't help in a practical sense, but Norm Wildberger has a very different take on mathematics and maybe this could be a way of coming to peace with what you hated:
https://cosmolearning.org/courses/math-foundations-with-norm...

For a more practical direction, you should start with Guesstimation if you are not already versed with it. It is an indispensable tool for getting people to think you know some math as well as helping you detect really bad ideas in addition to helping you get playful with mathematics, which is the only way to really master it as a tool.
And of course 200 Ah (@12VDC) is 2.4 kWh. BTW, I have a couple of these LiFePo 100Ah batteries, and they are great. But I do get a kick out of how the capital cost is about $800 USD to store 1 kWh, or $0.15 worth of electricity (omitting solar cell cost solar charge controller cost, which are comparatively minor)! Still, the grid independence (for sustainable Tiny Electrical Living) is a wonderful thing.

Yes same here. I really go crazy when technology that takes us further away from each other is presented as some sort of progress. Why don't we look around at how isolated we've become? Is it any wonder that our stupid little factions (right vs left, black vs white, etc) are pulling further and further away from each other when so much effort is being put into limiting our contact with one another?
The human operated lanes still exist in my store. Many people use them, and they do have chats at the checkout line.

And no offense :), but I don't go to the grocery store to make friends. I have much better or more interesting things to do. If I could get fast reliable delivery and not even have to go, I would choose that option.

The point relevant to the OP is that self-checkout systems can be implemented well.
Do you really believe fusion research is the least useful thing the usgov spends $1b a year on? My issue here comes down to "why is fusion the thing you pick on"? They're both energy projects but so are thousands of other more expensive, more dangerous to the climate things.

Anyways I suspect $1b of 2022 dollars wouldn't go nearly as far in 1980 or 1990 in terms of advancing solar tech. It's not like all that happened in a vacuum, semiconductor tech likely had to get to a certain point before this explosion could meaningfully happen, and there's never been a shortage of investment into semiconductors.

In this whole thread you've provided no evidence or reason to believe fusion research was in any way inhibiting solar research. You just seem to have a feeling it's true, but what, specifically, would those dollars have done for solar, and why are they somehow uniquely suited to being repurposed towards solar? If it's so glaringly obvious you should be able to explain more deeply.
> Girard argues that we don’t develop our own desires but want what others seem to want.

What's your point here?

> Think about it: rituals before, during, and after the game; group singing; deep emotional involvement; the use of symbols to show that you are part of a certain group. These are all religious aspects. Every club has legendary players; heroic figures, shaped by immortal memories, admired by everyone at the club.
Sorry, Niklas. I've been to Wrigley Field when the Cubs win and everyone sings "Go, Cubs, Go." It's different in America, and by the way, you're welcome to wear the visiting team's baseball cap to a game, too. We know it's just a game.

I see your point. I think you have to take into account what football means for people and that is very different in Europe compared to America. In America, I would argue, it's much more about entertainment. The development in Europe is similar but it didn't use to be that way. Back in the days, these were local clubs, founded by local people who only lived for these clubs. Wright Thompson's piece explains that much better than I could: https://www.espn.com/espn/insider/insider/story/_/id/3221804...

> Sorry, this is barely even a half-truth. Middle schoolers are walking down the street not looking where they're going because they're staring at their smartphones, and that's where they get desire. If they grow up, they learn to think for themselves.

That's very true. They stare at their smartphones, see other people and get their desires. It might be true that their beliefs system changes when they grow up and that they think for themselves more often. The tendency to desire what other people want, however, doesn't necessarily change. The desires might differ, maybe also the extent, but I don't believe that the mechanism itself evaporates.

At one place I worked, they ended a sprint on day n and then turned around and started the next sprint on day n+1. Every two weeks, we started a "new sprint." I grew increasingly cynical about their motives. Some suggest that you're supposed to have some down time in between sprints to look at the code and come up with a plan for the next sprint. A time of reflection. Not at this job.

Couldn't agree more. Using the webapp with a chromium-based browser is such a better experience (working screen-share, hw-accel, etc.) I couldn't imagine going back.
And especially with chromiums --app flag (I just have a .desktop file that Execs `flatpak run com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium --app=https://discordapp.com/channels/@me --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland`) it really feels like an "app" experience (exception being, that pressing on links in chat opens them in a new chromium window and not firefox).

No assumptions. The rand article addresses that directly.
I too use this Sheldon Brown style but, because my main NYC commute bicycle has quick release front and back, I pop off my front wheel and position it adjacent to the rear one so the u-lock can go around both as well as the the stand (which is more than likely a parking sign post). Takes 5 seconds, saves me carrying a second lock, and no wheels stolen in 15 years of Manhattan and Brooklyn cycling!
The working assumption with AR wearables however is that, for a variety of reasons, they're going to have to look and feel a lot more like a pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses than a VR headset.

> “for under $100”

Maybe back in the day when rPis weren’t as hot a commodity as a high end video card or a latest gen gaming console. Yes, I’ve bought rPis this year for MSRP, but only if you consider the amount of time I spent monitoring sites like rpilocator to be “free”.
I've had a request for a slider knob for one of these from someone and I have been scrounging ebay and local equivalents for quite a while now, they even go for good money when they're broken.
I agree. Tonight I went outside into the greenhouses, took a knife and cut a few leaves of different salad varieties. Went back to the kitchen to let them water a bit in the sink to remove a bit of dirt, dust and a few insects.

Took three minutes.

While the leaves were in the water I quickly did a bit of work for a client that I put off over the weekend but wanted to finish before the week started. Went back to the kitchen afterwards.

Washed the salad again, dry tumbled it, cut a tomato, put two slices of bread into the toaster and prepared the dressing from joghurt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar all bought directly from the producer. Crumbled a bit of feta over the salad, put the dressing over it and a bit of salt and had a very fresh and extremely tasty meal within less than ten minutes.

This was extremely fast food, while still matching the slow food philosophy. And I enjoyed it tremendously.

I know that this is pure luxury. Not everybody has a garden to grow their own food. And not everybody has a SO that infected them with the bug for heirloom varieties of vegetables and salads. And I also know that gardening isn't for everybody. To me it is relaxation as contrast to staring at a screen the whole day.

My SO also bakes bread but we have a great organic local bakery that we get our daily regular bread from. Baking is more for fun.
It's not just cows.. it's potatoes too... they pick up potatoes and have a warehouse full of them, you want to buy a sack (5, 10kg) from them, and they offer you a price, again, higher than aldi. And i'm talking about the same farmers who sell their produce to aldi and complain about how little money they get from aldi and how (relatively) high the price in aldi is.

I understand that a cow is a logistic process, where after slaughter, you have to get rid of the whole cow, not just the "best parts", but selling potatos is literally just packing a bag and weighing them, but nope...

Same with apples in the autumn, complain about low prices from companies, then not wanting to sell them at retail price (with two middlemen gone).
Use it but not modify it? With that attitude it can't even be classified as Open Source.

Hard pass.
> that doesn't mean that they can explain it to you.

I'm sorry what? I don't expect them to teach me, I just want them to tell the difference. By the way, the ones that can't say: "they told me to always use let". I'll send them to you :D. Best of luck.

> I've never seen a senior developer fired for poor coding.

I've seen plenty. If a junior dev needs to help you out of trouble every time, you know there is something wrong.

Some people just reach their limit very soon, and can hide away in some comppanies. Probaly companies where you seem to work. Other companies probably just have a higher bar, no disrespect meant.
It's only insurmountable if you never try it again. There is a learning curve where some people feal quite sick at first and then slowly get used to it. You can mitigate this with "training wheels" settings in the experience like blinkers, cages, hiding the VR body, and alternate locomotion schemes like teleporting. Some people even swear by just setting up a fan to blow air on them while they're using VR.
> It's probably a good idea to avoid insulting or alienating your audience.

I already avoid insulting or alienating my audience. I don't need to write "inclusively" to do that. Good documentation is already bland and unoffensive.

> I have to say though some of their examples are weird.

And that's exactly what I object to. Something absurd like, "Use the term 'main' instead of 'master' for your repository's primary branch." Why? Because... ...slavery? This is lunacy.

Five months later, this arbitrary standard will change again. Talking about "primary branches" is now offensive, because it implies that one branch is more central than the others, and this is offensive to plural beings who identify as a Crape Myrtle tree. [1]

It's literally a bunch of people imagining ways that things can be misconstrued as offensive, and twisting language to the point of absurdity. I have better things to do with my time than to run on euphemism treadmills.

I'm a undergraduate student in California and I've had the opportunity to be a grader for a quarter. While I did not enjoy the work, it really changed the way I looked at classes. I was not in charge of finding or reporting cheating, but I still did see a decent amount of it. The most interesting instance I saw, while not technically considered academic dishonesty under our policy, was a group of students who cited each other's work in the class. Sometimes it would be the same assignment where students would cite specific line numbers in other students work. Our policy for this was supposed to be to give students zero on the assignment for turning in work that was not theirs but not to report them because it was not a violation under the universities policy. I notified a TA in a better position to deal with it, but I think it might have been to late in the quarter to do anything and they never got back to me about it.
> we need to define what best means.

I think we also need to define what drum machine means. To me the MPC mainly is a drum sampler, while the 808 is an analog drum synthesizer.

> mpc have a way more possibilities for shaping a sound.

And yet the 808 can make sounds that the MPC cannot make.
I wanted to jump in and praise this project. After INSTEON suddenly shut down last month, I was able to set up Home Assistant and restore control to the perfectly functional network of devices orphaned by their makers.

This reads like it's some oogoody boogidy magical audiophile hardware.

"The timing on the MPC 3000 is extremely tight and about as true as you can get". What does that mean? The clocking of the 16MHz CPU makes it audibly more precise than a 8 MHz CPU? Even for a tune at 10 000 BPM jitter would sound identically inaudible. Turn off quantization and what's the difference anyway?

"You can’t really get a computer or any DAW to sound like an MPC 3000. Some claim its a matter of boosting the low end, and cutting some of the high end frequencies to match the sound of the 3000. This is simply false."

This is just dumb snake oil level crap. All these things have transfer functions that can be modelled, if you really believe you can hear a difference, which you are almost certainly imagining.

"The DAC on the MPC 3000 is extremely unique. It’s a machine and it sounds like a machine, in a good way. In the best way possible."

Writer sounds like a machine. Not in a good way.
No one said a word about free speech "absolutism."
You are describing a system which can only exist in a high trust environment with reasonably well compensated and motivated staff.

You fundamentally need to trust that your customers won’t try to steal from you, and that if they do they will be moderate enough that you can track it as a cost of business - or so extreme that your staff will catch it easily (and care enough to fix it).

Many people, unfortunately, do not live in such places.
In the UK you absolutely need security - London especially anything not held down will be stolen quickly. Battery powered jigsaws to go through locks and chains, bikes stripped of components, etc. Its a whole different world from the safety of NL

Granted some of this is because of a culture of more expensive bikes but still if you used a beater bike it wouldnt be safe either

I don't see how the Zig Software Foundation is related to SYCL not mainly marketing a concept.

Note, there's nothing wrong with marketing and providing courses (something which the FSF also provides), it's just the act of promoting it while complaining about another organization not having "done enough" that has done much more within this space over the years.

I remember the shareware banners and popups that would give a time delay to use based on a 10 or 15 second counter and software that would say, "<X> number of uses left. Hope you are enjoying the trial." For a while demo software and shareware software was indistinguishable on the WinCE platform. Palm OS slightly had that problem but not to the extent of WinCE.
It isn't some vast conspiracy, it is that specialization by definition does it better. Literal cottage industry couldn't compete. That is what being able to buy better tools and outcomes gets you, industrialization. Memetically people are still pissed off about the change centuries later.
> It's great that citizen science space for collecting ecological or biodiversity data is is growing.

As great as would be having less professional physicians, promoting cheap children soldiers instead professional ones or using trained monkeys to build the brakes of our car and manage the economy

The so called "Citizen science" means more amateurs and less professionally trained people really focused in solving real problems that are difficult and complex. Solutions that are required to survive at long term

But, yeah, lets assign this task to scholars in their spare time and we will have it for free. In the end what you will have is databases corrupted with fake data. A set of "true scientific facts" for democrats and another set of "true facts" saying exactly the opposite for republicans.
Yes it has. I order groceries from my couch and I pay 2€ extra for delivery and my door bell rings under 15 minutes 95% of the times, sometimes in under 7 minutes. I live in a major German city.

P.S. I have at least twice ordered missing ingredients mid cooking and luckily both those times, delivery was under 10 minutes.

Dang sounds like a copyright/trademark troll to me! Really disappointed that they allow something like that here.

Ok and my opinion is that the article is a joke. Also you telling me that it was the pinnacle of beat machines of it's time is like apple conveying to us every time that this is their best computer yet (an even more ridiculous joke). The OP is actually titled THE BEST DRUM MACHINE OF ALL TIME. My guess is that someone quite young wrote this.

For example is this serious information to you?

The Timing

When you talk to fans of the MPC 3000, you hear them talk about “The Feel.” They will tell you that the feel of the 3000 is like no other drum machine or sampler that exists. This is due to the timing that Roger Linn built into the machine. The timing on the MPC 3000 is extremely tight and about as true as you can get. It will record exactly what you play. Essentially, it is the essense of what a “groovebox” is.
The sequencer on the MPC 3000 is second to none.

This is just false. The sequencer on it is good, but of course there are many vastly better sequencers.

Disclaimer: I've used many sequencers including the one we are discussing.
I agree. Yet Another Chromium Clone is not all that interesting, regardless of how its UI is dressed up, because realistically the browser's most core qualities are not going to differ significantly from those of any other Chrome-based browser.

Being forthcoming about the engine of choice will help people set reasonable expectations… it's not a revolution, it's Chrome with a new coat of paint.

Searched for "cultural appropriation", found nothing. Wow!
The worst part is that this is what many end-users want. We every so often get some strong pushback on the KMK (mechanical keyboard) Firmware project over my admittedly-dogmatic insistence on using Matrix (and otherwise trying to move further towards the Free Software Needs Free Tools [1] ideal world). Roughly paraphrased, "Well relatively few people have a Matrix account but a ton of folks are already on Discord, why do you make the Matrix only officially supported platform and have a flakey-and-maybe-five-8s-uptime bridge to Discord as an olive branch?" Because it's a GPL project with no corporate backing and no need to add dependence on another corporate tool (using GitHub for VCS and CI was, IMO with retrospect, a mistake too).

I've personally started taking a "if your project only offers me Slack and Discord as first-class avenues to get help, I consider it unsupported" stance on FOSS projects lately. It's bad enough that I have to use Slack for work and will never really have a say in that, don't make me also use it for my hobbies.

Maybe spending my adolescence in the era of IRC, of numerous IM protocols all accessible via libpurple+Pidgin/Adium, and of somewhat-open XMPP federation spoiled me. I clearly wasn't meant for this hyper-corporate modern flavor of the internet.
