did you know that you can make some interesting phasing rhythms with Ableton Note while you wait for your coffee machine to descale? Unfortunately you might need to use up a whole channel for each pattern, but still
Make one channel's pattern 7 1/8's long and fill it with some random velocity percussion, and another one maybe 12 steps long with 2 hits, and just let them play off each other until the water overflows and your socks are wet with gross cleaning products and coffee'd water
Bonjour tout le monde ! Heureux de vous rejoindre dans le fédivers.
Je suis Jules Teneul, graphiste indépendant et étudiant en informatique. J'aimerais devenir développeur. Je ne sais pas encore trop ce que je ferai de ce bagage dans le monde pro. Car en général, moins un travail est bénéfique ou utile pour la société, mieux il est payé. M'enfin.
Les questions d'accessibilité, d'inclusivité du numérique et son influence sur la santé des démocraties m'intéressent particulièrement. À part mon enthousiasme pour le libre pas facho, je fais de la musique, parfois du vélo et je m'investis en asso quand j'en ai l'énergie.

Okay I'm a teacher, so let me break this down for you in the simplest terms possible.
Let's say I am teaching a math class. The subject is addition. I teach you how to add two numbers together to get a different number. Then I give you an addition assignment so you can try a few examples for yourself.
Student A writes "2+2=4". This is correct. Student A gets points both for having completed the assignment and for getting the answer correct.
Student B writes "2+2=5". This is incorrect. However, I can see that student B is trying to engage with the material. I can help student B understand their mistake and correct it for next time. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes.
Student C writes "2+2=-64,863,702". This is wildly incorrect, and the student will not receive points for completing the assignment. I can tell from this response that student C not only did not understand the material, but likely got frustrated and just wrote down any old number because they knew it was going to be wrong. I can still help student C. They're going to need a lot of assistance, but that's the job. I can mark the answer wrong and make curriculum notes, including suggestions for how to help the student engage more with the subject matter.
Student D writes "2+2=JESUS WANTS YOU TO DIE". This is obvious nonsense. It's not just that the answer is wildly incorrect. And it goes beyond the fact that the student did not complete the assignment. And it even goes beyond the fact that the student is not engaging with the subject material or my class. In addition to all that, they have also decided to insult me, make veiled death threats, and use religion as a pretext for it. Obviously I have to mark the answer wrong. But perhaps not as obviously, there isn't much I can do to help this student. They have chosen not to engage with the material, with me, or with the entire concept of learning in general. They looked at a math assignment and decided the best thing to do was insult and threaten the teacher. The best thing I can do for the rest of my classroom is pull this student out of class and try to place them in some form of therapy for whatever behavioral issues this student is clearly struggling with.
The Oklahoma U student who wrote the "essay" about her "demonic" trans science teacher is this last kind of student. She got the answers wrong. Very wrong. Her assertions were unsupported, uncited, and lacked scientific rigor. But beyond that, she just chose not to complete the assignment. The assignment was to write an academic argument about a particular scientific article. Instead of doing this, she chose to write a sermon. And if she had stopped there, she would have been in the same boat as Student C who decided that 2+2=-64,863,702. But she didn't. She decided to include in her sermon a number of insults and death threats, which were aimed directly at her instructor. And she did all this from a place of perceived religious superiority.
"TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD DIE GOD TOLD ME SO" is not an answer to 2+2.
She MORE than earned a zero on that essay. And if she had turned in that shit in my classroom she would have been taken off my roster and recommended to appropriate mental health services.

The situation here is very bad. We are still suffering. We are still afraid. A lot of people think that our situation now is good, but unfortunately the isn’t true.
We are suffering in everything in our day. Nothing changed in the ceasefire.
We are just dreaming of a normal life. Healthy food, clean water and home! These are our dreams.

Hello my friends ☀️
How are you? How’s your health?
Do you have questions about the way Palestinians handle money and payments in #Gaza under siege in the Israeli war on Gaza? 💸🇵🇸
My posts about this explain it, please read and share them:

Indigenous cultural belongings return to Canada from Vatican
A severe #accessibility issue I've seen very few people talking about is the widespread adoption (in my country at least) of touch-only card payment terminals with no physical number buttons.
Not only do these devices offer no tactile affordances, but the on-screen numbers move around to limit the chances of a customer's PIN number being captured by bad actors. In turn, this makes it impossible to create any kind of physical overlay (which itself would be a hacky solution at best).
When faced with such a terminal, blind people have only a few ways to proceed:
* Switch to cash (if they have it);
* refuse to pay via inaccessible means;
* ask the seller to split the transaction into several to facilitate multiple contactless payments (assuming contactless is available);
* switch to something like Apple Pay (again assuming availability); or
* hand over their PIN to a complete stranger.
Not one of these solutions is without problems.
If you're #blind, have you encountered this situation, and if so how did you deal with it? It's not uncommon for me to run into it several times per day.
why do you think this is not being talked about or made the subject of action by blindness organisations? Is it the case that it disproportionately affects people in countries where alternative payment technology (like paying via a smart watch) is slower to roll out and economically out of reach for residents?

Yes, this was one of the major reasons why I recommended blind ppl to always choose iPhone over Android if given the possibility.
Google Pay finally went PINless a few years ago, so this is no longer such a problem, but afaik e.g. the Blindshell still doesn't support it, and probably never will.

Probably the message-player subproject
Clear Separation of Concerns: Our project is now beautifully modular.
main.rs: Manages the UI and application lifecycle.
consumer.rs: Solely responsible for consuming messages from RabbitMQ.
publisher.rs: Solely responsible for publishing messages.
persistence.rs: Solely responsible for database interactions.
egui-components/: Contains reusable, self-contained UI components like BorderLayout. This separation makes the system incredibly easy to reason about and modify. A change to the database logic won't break the UI.
The "Witness Pattern": not just implementing the logic; identified, named, and specified a core architectural pattern. This makes the consumer's logic predictable and easy to maintain. Any new developer can look at consumer.rs, understand the "Witness Pattern," and know exactly how to add new message handling logic safely.
Configuration via .env: Externalized the database connection string into a .env file, a standard practice that makes the application easy to configure for different environments without changing code.
Database Migrations (sqlx-cli): Managing the database schema with version-controlled migration files. Allows for repeatable and auditable schema changes.
Yeah, I can teach a monkey to write code. I can't make the monkey care about basic principles of quality, to care about the users, to write well, to work well in a team context.
The LLM kinda expects you to know that stuff.
I've been coding with the LLM a long time, almost a year now. I know how to interact with it.
I never have good cause to swear at the LLM, I'll bet you're a good solid coder. I would never swear at you - if you misunderstood a directive, that's my fault, not yours.
The LLM does superb work if it's given small, clear objectives. Just like you.
Gemini's writeup of how we did things. I just built this to learn to use Rust
Yes indeed ! It feels like riding a big horse. Gemini, going back to Bard, ( which was my favorite for a long time ) , it volunteers to write far too much code.
So I had to pull rank and not accept that code, even though there was miles of good code being generated. Let it go. That's how it ruminates, generates.
I had "talks" with both Gemini and Claude - for godsakes, emit fewer words. Let me think.
But over time, they've both become much more attuned to my coding behavior.
Heh. Okay, so stipulated. It takes some getting used to - and the early versions were sonewhat aggravating. I had one begin to praise me in the most fulsome tones - horrifying, really.
Ecch, the reason I am polite to the LLM is because it's just so much bouncing a tennis ball off a wall. It's easier to request things formally, to observe an insightful implementation. Small things. Small goals.
The way I'd like to talk to other professionals.
I'll definitely have more to say about this one, but it's an immense tragedy to see a library management tool, of all fucking things, betray the whole concept of artistic expression like this.
Danke für die vielen Lösungsvorschläge.
Ich werde Montag mal mit etwas Waschsoda und Natron probieren.
Ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden.
Danke für das Boosten !!!
Kennt ihr einen Backofenreiniger der auch wirklich festgebrannte Stellen reinigt? Hab das Reinigen etwas vernachlässigt. 🙈
Ein Boost wäre nett, Danke! 🙏
