The Roland SC-880, a variant of the SC-88Pro with a newer DAC and an updated patch mode that allows up to six sounds to be layered together instead of two, has three exclusive demo songs. Walkin' on the Sun, Toughparade and Turnabout. Walkin' on the Sun is a Jazz rock track, Toughparade is a medley of various 90s techno styles, and Turnabout is a small Classical track. Toughparade is also kind of funny to me because of how high-pitched the TR909 tom gets. No MIDIs available unfortunately, it seems these songs were built into the SC-880 itself, and I can't find any SC-880 disks which might have them. youtube.com/watch?v=B8lXCKBaWk…

Demo Songs (Roland SC-880 GS)

These three demo songs were included on the Roland SC-880 Sound Canvas.

My article demonstrates that Legacy Admissions, not Affirmative Action, is the actual racist policy that destroys meritocracy. And that because Legacy disproportionately benefits unqualified white people, it is protected.

It's been read more than 50,000 times and shared thousands of times—and I've not seen even 1 single rebuttal.

Can't imagine why.🤔

Affirmative Action Repeal & Rising White Supremacy

The latest Harvard data is a daunting reminder that racist policies are not only systemic in our higher education systems—they're getting worse

“We need to get one thing out of the way: Rust is cool. It’s fun.

“It’s tempting to try to sweep this under the rug because it feels gauche to say, but it’s actually important for a number of reasons.

“For one, fish is a hobby project, and that means we want it to be fun for us. Nobody is being paid to work on fish, so we need it to be fun. Being fun and interesting also attracts contributors.”

Hi all, I have what may be a strange request. My Nan is in a nursing home and can't go out due to mobility problems, but she loves birds. I show her bird photos I come across online but sometimes it's hard to find a lot of new/interesting ones. If you take any cool bird pictures, could you please add the hashtag #BirdsForBecsNan so I can find them more easily for her? The more colourful/exotic/pretty, the better, but she also likes to see rare/unusual birds.

(here is my crappy rosella photo)

I once had a sparrow chirp frantically at a group of people I was with. At first I thought it was trying to shoo us away from its nest. After a while I realized it wasn't behaving aggressively, but urgently. It was trying to get our attention so we approached it and it led us to another sparrow that was upside down and tangled up in dense ivy-like brush.

One of us managed to get up to the tangled bird to get it freed. It took a while and the whole time the bird that got our attention just hovered nearby watching us free its friend. It was making no effort to keep its distance from us. When we finally got the trapped bird free, the two of them flew off together.

I was astonished that an animal with such a tiny brain had the wherewithal to understand how to summon help and who to summon help from.

(Updated to include a photo of the incident that I found after I posted.)

Close up photo of some kind of ivy-like bush that climbs up walls. The bush has lots of flowers and very twisty root like branches that resemble tangled wires. In the middle of the image, there's a small upside-down bird with its leg tangled in the plant.

Oh, Ian. For such a smart and respected man you sure do toot some shit sometimes. :-)

The security protocols behind this are well documented. Apple isn't 'sending your data to the cloud'. Rather, Apple has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the data that they send to the cloud, which enhances on-device functionality, is encrypted and obfuscated up the wazoo.

You're being disingenuous _at best_ to suggest that this is not the case. Shame on you for amplifying this nonsense.

Man, there’s no arguing with arrogant Apple fanboys. No matter the security protocols, doing this directly contradicts their slogan. And the linked post (which you read before posting a condescending reply, I assume?) points out a number of problems with it, one of which is that Apple security is nowhere near as safe and failproof as the fanboys like to claim.

"What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.
What are brief? today and tomorrow.
What are frail? spring blossoms and youth.
What are deep? the ocean and truth."

Christina Rossetti, who died #OTD in 1894, was an English writer of romantic, devotional and children's poems, including "Goblin Market" and "Remember".
