I can’t even grapple with the idea that the thing that will stop cops from maiming and murdering minorities is being nice to them more of the time.
Do you want change?
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 4 days ago:
Do you want change? Or do you want to keep the status quo? Because if you want change, then be the change.
In a perfect world, you shouldn’t have to be mindful of training your civil servants. I mean not in any perfect world adjacent societies should you. But here we are, in a absolutely imperfect world so…

Please, we prefer neuro-emotionally divergent individuals exhibiting a multidimensional empathy variance. Also do you have more of those tasty boneless rodent snacks?
- Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill 5 days ago:
So? Maybe he doesn’t behave like this towards black men, maybe he does. We can’t tell.
What we can tell is that in this exact instance, this specific cop, was really patient. What I know about training dogs and kids is that positive affirmation works wonders. So can we just for once drop the ACAB attitude and praise this cop? Who knows, maybe getting praised will feel nice, and make the cop want it to happen again.
- Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers 3 weeks ago:
There are devices now that have a SoC that’s completely locked down at the factory, although maybe none are 3D printers.
That has been around for decades. I mean one time programmable microcontrollers has been around since at least the 90s, and probably earlier IDK I didn’t start doing embedded development until the 2000s. I guess devices with readout disabled has been around for about as long. I have no idea how much it is used in 3d printers though.
If you just don’t buy something locked down on a hw level, then because of the tinker tradition in 3d printing, you can relatively easy flash the firmware.
It deserves more attention as the massive threat to digital freedom that it is.
Yes, agreed. My point was on the futility of the law. But the fact of the matter is that the law exists and it shouldn’t from a freedom perspective. This is presented as a DRM issue, not a gun control issue. Should we ban printers because you may print a news article without buying the rights? Should we ban pen and paper because you could use it to infringe on a trademark by drawing it?

Oh no, don’t. Firmware can’t be flashed /s

- Comment on Do non-English speakers learn to code in English, or in their native language? 5 weeks ago:
I teach my students to just code in English from the start. Not all languages/compilers/linkers/whatever handles the Danish characters ‘æ’, ‘ø’, and ‘å’ all that predictably, most companies will require you to use English for international collaboration, and besides most documentation is in English anyway.

Oddly specific info maybe, but I’ve been expressively asked not to dump any organic matter in the dropbox.

Is that like a “library plus” subscription? Or do I just go to the counter with my card and ask for a drug fueled orgy?

My dude, you cross posted 4 times. We’re like 10 people on this platform. I understand your frustration, but not getting what’s on the picture isn’t really that interesting. You might as well cross post “water is wet, more at eight”

I feel like I just replied this a minute ago. Why cross post when lemmy’s so small everything hits the front page?

- Comment on I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years. 4 months ago:
Requiring 610 for your own repair of a game cartridge would be kinda ridiculous anyway.
Besides soldering battery taps can be a pain. There can be so much thermal capacity in the taps (technically the cell, but). Combine that with an ordinary 35μm PCB, perhaps with some old school phenol board, and this result is some a newbie can be quite proud of. Heck, even if you’ve trained a bit.

Diesel in Denmark is 11.2 USD/gallon … but do keep complaining about your luxuriously low gas prices, which BTW was caused by the POTUS too many Americans couldn’t be bothered to vote against.

- Comment on You need to lock in 6 months ago:
TBH it’s been more than a decade since I graduated electronics engineering, I really didn’t like filter theory, so I went with embedded electronics for my specialization, and went to work in an entirely different field so…
What’s the purpose of this filter, if all you’re getting out is DC? I mean wouldn’t you want to set the cutoff frequency high enough to actually get a signal through? If all you’re looking for is the DC component, then wouldn’t you be better off (as in a more simple, thus cheaper, solution) just doing a rolling average filter?
Again, I really didn’t follow along in signal processing that well, so I may just be exposing my ignorance here.

Ah but maybe a small obscure group of elves decided that they could rule middle earth by their sheer superiority and therefore stayed behind. Such arrogance would make them perfect as tech overlord types.

When I was 18 ADHD was something kids had and you outgrew it. I probably couldn’t have been evaluated then. So nuclear engineering it is.
- Comment on Why nor???? 6 months ago:
Oh… it would be kinda cool though: the modern world set in middle earth. Maybe add a little steam punk dwarven tech and some elves with electric doodads. I could definitely see an elven technological schism with one traditional group and another consisting of hipsters with the latest innovations.

Have guards at a safe distance ready to flood the casting floor with molten iron, while the dwarves are working. It may be cruel, but an influenced dwarf wouldn’t get away with the ring.
Imperfections would be acceptable. I mean once the ring is encased in 2 tons of steel good frigging luck getting to it unnoticed.

I’m not big on lotr lore. My Atlas of Middle Earth was mostly just used for RPG, and the Silmarillion has been left untouched on the book-shelves in my home. But are you saying that there’s a nazi-hunting-artifacts storyline? Like Indiana Jones in Middle Earth?

Have the dwarves cast in into a huge lump of steel a dump it way out in the ocean.
