It is generally uncouth to tell anyone how to feel regardless of gender. Compel the person to feel through your own words and actions. If you fail to achieve the desired results, change your tact.

Again anyone that feels this way is not someone I value or wish to interact with at all. The fact that anyone like this can see my posts when I have blocked them is a disgusting violation of trust. All I can do is request others to block me until I encounter an alternative to Lemmy that better fits my needs. I barely survive through massive pain day to day. I have no buffer left to compensate for psychotic negativity towards strangers. If anyone has something to say, then say it, but to be negative at diverse and opposing points of view is a regression into stupidity, echo chambers, and eventually global conflict as differences grow and accumulate. I want nothing to do with a culture or community like this. Down voting is for pointing out, bad bots, shills, trolls, and other meta problems. Suppressing discussion and diverse opinions is adolescent nonsense.

An expression is a reply or conversation, these have value. Anonymous negativity to strangers is psychotic behavior.

I went to highschool with a k-12 magnet school in a building from 1910. It was a beautiful historic building and was a wonderful change from the previous prison environments. No one wandered off or got abducted. It was even in a rough neighborhood and area. The grounds are of no concern here. If the kids are leaving, it is on purpose and there are far bigger issues at play, and again the issue is being handled like a prison mindset instead of a more practical approach.

I care about a friend far more than a lover. I'm a lifer, if at all. My challenge has always been finding someone on the same level. I'm not super smart and not super dumb, but I have a lot of interests, things I would benefit from talking out, and prefer an allied mindset.

Short units make high pressure. Smart girls hear the Reynolds number and know

Nay. I hated elementary and middle schools that looked and felt like prisons. I'm sure it is way worse than it was twenty years ago now. The ambiance is an open threat and ode to for profit prisons

E: please don't downvote me to invalidate opinion as if I have no right or value. Block me instead please. As a disabled person in social isolation myself, anyone here that down votes in general conversation and interaction is someone I find toxic and I do not value. Anonymous negativity about a person's opinion or life experiences is psychotic behavior no different than walking up to a stranger in a grocery store and yelling at them for how they are dressed or how they talk. Again, please block me so that you never need to see or interact with me again. Thanks.

I have to avoid my father almost entirely while living in the same house. We are polar opposites and completely incompatible. I've learned to appreciate him for what he is, but also know how toxic he is for my mental health and constantly remind myself of Hanlon's Razor, (assume stupidity over malice).

That is what the purple overlay is already. However there are multiple ellipses that are not the same and very minor variation is important. The original part was likely made using surfacing workflow and not a parametric sketch type workflow. The error really needs to be ±0.05 or better, thus the reason it is worth chasing the picture based reverse engineering.

I mod one of the larger communities. I'm just the janitor. Y'all are the real mods as far as I'm concerned. It really isn't very much time as far as mod stuff here. I don't read every post or comment. If y'all see something, say something. It doesn't mean I will take the action from the flag. It only means I will read into it, give the benefit of the doubt in every way possible and mod very conservatively in line with community voting too. I also will tell you if I am commenting or questioning as a mod, and differ to another mod if I am ever involved in an issue personally.

Being a mod does not need to be a chore or a power trip. Just treat it like a job as a janitor and trust in the community as a whole while completely setting yourself aside. It is really not that hard.

 

I've managed to do reverse engineering of circuit boards using GIMP and rough alignment of layers using images like the one pictured. I want to use images to reverse engineer parts in CAD, but the minor lens distortion of a camera on a phone at ~20cm high on top of a stack of objects to keep it eyeballed flat is not enough. The result is off in multiple planes. There are minor errors in my curves in the transparent CAD part pictured, but the hole pattern is correct. The picture has been calibrated to 20mm against the ruler. Any suggestions on how to make this usable for replicating the ellipse that crosses the holes ±0.05mm?

 

I am trying to understand the limitations and weaknesses of a system of complex human social hierarchical display based on reputation and accolades instead of the accumulation of wealth. Academia is one such example of a hierarchy based on reputation.

What are the weaknesses of such a system, such as failures to account for human adaptation and growth? Where are factors that are not in line with meritorious achievement and the scientific process? What changes could be made to improve the social system of a reputation based hierarchy?

This post is heavily abstract and conceptually framed in layperson terms. Feel free to rephrase and infer meaning. I am thinking about a distant science fiction future when accrued wealth is no longer an adequate form of human hierarchical display, and the benefits, frustrations, and failures of such a system.

 

Like the Raspberry π SoC is based on a television tuner box. The vast majority of the die is related to the TV tuner functions that are completely undocumented. What techniques exist to explore undocumented physical hardware? Are we limited to reverse engineering code to find when and how these undocumented areas are used, or are there other fuzzing type techniques to find relationships between memory, flags, and potential byte instructions?

This is an abstract thought and generalization that potentially patches a hole in my understanding. There is no broader purpose in asking.

 

That should be the biggest argument against the rise of tech bro neo feudalism. Feudalism only has a hierarchy of lesser and greater lords that hold a right to ownership of any kind and have a licence to exploit the peasantry, and everyone else is a serf of no relevance or rights of autonomy or ownership.

The only way feudalism can possibly play out is empoverishment of the masses in the long term.

 

Most people know that a microwave works by exciting water molecules, but I'm not interested in the dangers of the high voltage/current of a magnetron. I wonder what might be possible with scrap consumer drivers such as a piezo, speaker drivers, or ultrasonic inducers, preferably at a frequency outside of the core human audible spectrum.

  1. Would an induced vibration in an around 60°C, lightly convective environment, likely significantly increase the evaporation rate of water moisture absorbed within the filament of a spool of consumer grade 3d printing filament such as PLA, PETG, PC, TPU, or Aramid?
  2. Would certain frequencies likely alter performance?

At 40, I am convinced that we cosplay as adult characters to hide our inner child, mostly from ourselves. Some seem to allow the stresses of life and responsibilities to make the mask indistinguishable, but I doubt any truly make it real. Do you wear the mask of age over the eyes of your inner child? Does age hold a meaningful value to you beyond the comradery of shared experience?

 

Doing some exploration and kitbashing, relaxing my braincells while working on some personal sci-fi story called "Starlit Abyss" that I will share at some point in the future.
