It's still rough – but I'm confident it could already be fun to use! So I'm looking for people to try out and test my #miditracker.
You'll need python 3.9.10 and a midiDevice you want to control (can be virtual or hardware via usb). If you want to try it on windows – great – but I didn't do that yet. Feel free to reach out to me here or in the github issues if something goes south.

Sociology: "Uh, I don't..."
Economics: "Humans are always rational and value is calculated by complex internal calculus."
Sociology: "Uhhh, Psy, can you help?" Psychology: "That's not how humans..." Economics: "ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!"

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.
"I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.
"I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.
"This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable."
-- William Shatner, actor
The real life trolley problem is whether your mayor will flip a switch to save dozens of pedestrians per year, at the cost of sacrificing car driver time & convenience.

Nemám absolutně žádný dosah, takže to bude nejspíš k prdu, ale vyčítala bych si, kdybych to nezkusila. Včera odpoledne mezi OC Nový Smíchov, Štefánikova ulice, Na Knížecí metro Anděl až Lužiny jsem ztratila jednu tuto náušnici. Mám je po babičce..
Nenašel ji prosím někdo? Odmena
věděl by tu někdo, jestli by byl problém udělat kamna kumulující do zásobníků s pískem?
vpodstatě vymýšlim klasické těžké kumulačky, které by bylo možné lehce stěhovat (například v mobilheimu)
If you had code on GitHub at any point it looks like it might be included in a large dataset called “The Stack” — If you want your code removed from this massive “ai” training data go here:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/in-the-stack
I found two of my old Github repos in there. Both were deleted last year and both were private. This is a serious breach of trust by Github and @huggingface.
Remove all your code from Github.

To žlutý je ze dneška, to druhý z 9/2022. Aby se nezapomnělo.
India has officially outlawed nine types of #UX #DarkPatterns, including saying "Hurry, only X amount left;" adding "processing fees;" adding dire language to opt-out buttons ("No, I'd rather not protect my purchase"); forcing people to agree to a EULA; forcing people to call a phone number to unsubscribe; using confusing opt-out language ("No, don't unsubscribe me"); blending ads into editorial content; and forcing people to click "remind me later" every day. https://bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/dark-patterns-are-now-illegal-in-india-6b3c35c5ce50
Quote of the day: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are"
It's official. After 3 months of back and forth, a major medical provider has elected to drop me as a patient for not having a Google or Apple device.
It is unclear if this is legal, but it is very clearly discriminatory and unethical.
Any tech journalists or lawyers interested in this?
I would like to do anything I can to ensure this never happens to anyone else.
