I believe teachers don't explore reflections in circles because they don't understand the geometry behind it, which is based upon an altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, tangents to circles, geometric means OB*OC=Radius^2. Simple and beautiful geogebra.org/m/pymwrvyj

' Often, when we give a blank map of the surrounding areas to Inuit who are helping us [they] have no problem recognizing and identifying features on the map, going only from their recollections of the land and what their families have described to them in words or in songs — without otherwise having used maps. They’ll even correct you, explaining something like, “there should be a lake there, but it’s not on your map.” '
The staff of the Inuit Heritage Trust is racing across Canada’s North to document traditional Inuit place names before much of that knowledge passes on with the elders who hold it. Canadian Geographic sits down with lead researcher Lynn Peplinski.
@pluralistic pointed to a wonderful post by Jo Walton, which included the following (re how SF fans read SF):
"There are lots of forms of what I call incluing, scattering pieces of information seamlessly through the text to add up to a big picture. The reader has to remember them and connect them together. This is one of the things some people complain about as “too much hard work” and which I think is a high form of fun." (tor.com/2010/01/18/sf-reading-…).

On January 10, 2014 in the Spanish city of Burgos, the local government and a cabal of real estate developers were pushing ahead with a project to gentrify a working class neighborhood by constructing a fancy new boulevard. The neighbors of Gamonal held a protest and the police attacked, sparking four consecutive nights of rioting in which people destroyed banks and construction equipment, and fought with police.
Afterwards, they continued holding protests demanding the unconditional release of those arrested, and they organized blockades to prevent construction. The mayor initially announced that the project would continue unabated. Solidarity protests were organized in dozens of other cities across the country, leading to riots/clashes in Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza, and the colony of Melilla. In Barcelona, multiple banks were smashed, Town Hall was attacked, and a central police station was attacked, forcing police to temporarily retreat. The gentrification project was subsequently cancelled.

In the years since the end of the Cold War many new social movements have started peacefully, only to adopt a diversity of tactics as they grew in strength and collective experiences.

I personally this afternoon, after waiting almost 6 hours after requesting a call back, spoke personally to an aira agent, and now that I'm home, I've finally sat down, and added my notes from that call to the file I'm calling the doom file in my head. the jist? If you refuse, even on the grounds of privacy concerns, you weren't going to be given the information. The full file is still and will always be available at. bit.ly/aira2023offset boost and spread this thing around to your hearts content. Oh, and if you haven't registered for today's WebNR? bring your hard hitting questions, and register at aira.zoom.us/webinar/register/…
Honestly, this is the last straw for me. I previously used Aira for a while, even bought one of the older glasses editions (not Horizon). Had heaps of trouble with the glasses plus other issues that led me to stop using it. Recently, i considered picking it up again, but this... this is just ridiculous. It'd literally be cheaper for me to hire someone to be physically in the same room to help me. Plus the complete lack of transparency is just so on-brand for them.
Also, this is just so typical for startups funded by investment firms. They say they've been running at a loss for years in the name of making it more affordable. How about being transparent and realistic from the start so that users who depend on you aren't left in the lurch when you jack up your prices sky high?

The State Department will use the Turkish government’s preferred spelling, #Türkiye, instead of #Turkey, a spokesman said on Thursday. The decision was made in response to a request from the Turkish Embassy. t.co/wRS2DgCEe7?s=09 #gis #geodata
The department will use the Turkish-language spelling in “most formal, diplomatic, and bilateral contexts” after a request from the country’s embassy, a spokesman said.
I'm thinking about getting a "new" used car. Unfortunately, tests of driver assistance / "self driving" systems don't seem to be any better than they were three years ago when I wrote danluu.com/car-safety/.
No one's doing anything resembling what a programmer would consider serious benchmarking and it doesn't look like anyone is going to either even though driver assistance / ADAS systems are becoming a more important part of safety over time.
Since writing that post, I've spent a lot of time talking to people who work on ADAS systems about the processes they use; how they handle bugs when they're found; when they use a shared ADAS vendor, which companies find the bugs in the vendor's system and which companies never notice, etc.
I believe this is the only way you can reasonably compare these systems today and I doubt this will change within a decade. For obvious reasons, no one who has the information is going to write up a ranking,
so it's now nearly impossible for the general public to make judgments about automotive safety except in cases where the company repeatedly ships extremely shoddy software, e.g., Tesla with mastodon.social/@danluu/109514…, twitter.com/kenklippenstein/st…, etc., but Uber was the only other company putting something so obviously bad on the roads, so this doesn't give you much information.
FWIW, I'd say that BMW has the best methodology I know of among cars you can buy (I updated the post to reflect that), but
every company I know of that's selling a "shipping" car has a methodology that you'd consider "move fast and break things" if they were a software company; the spectrum runs from "nearly completely untested, relies heavily on vendor's components working when connected (essentially never verified) while pushing vendors to add unsafe features to reduce cost or increase velocity" to "moves quickly and cuts corners that create significant risk".
For those who follow me because of my work on AccessKit, this has nothing to do with that, except that filling the position may allow me to spend more time on AccessKit.
Pneuma Solutions is seeking a full-stack application developer for a desktop application using a combination of Electron and Rust along with a server-side API and companion web interface.
This evening I pushed a #Prosody community module that acts as a #UnifiedPush server. It allows apps on your phone to receive push notifications, using #XMPP as the delivery channel instead of Google's proprietary FCM or regular polling.
It uses a protocol devised and implemented by @daniel and all credit goes to him for this idea and first implementations.
It's all experimental stuff, but I'm already using it to get realtime notifications in #Fedilab 🙂

In exciting async news: the stabilization of `std::pin::pin!` has been accepted, and will be coming to stable on #Rust on 1.68.0!
This will enable "stack pinning" entirely from safe Rust, replacing many of the uses for `Box::pin`, the unsafe `Pin::new_unchecked`, and external crates such as `pin-utils`!
As discussed over here, it looks like a decent time to stabilize the pin! macro.
