I wonder if there's a way to establish a precise measurement (e.g. make a block that you know to be 1 inch tall, plus or minus 1/10,000th of an inch) using only rough measurements, like a tape measure, or even a home made ruler based on what you THINK is an inch.
I'm thinking the answer is yes, and using angular measurement as a precision amplifier.
Okay so the answer is "no", and the reason is because while you CAN use angular measurement as a "metrological lever", you can't have precision AND dynamic range.
So if for example you *think* that 1 inch is about the size of your ... uhh ... thumb ... then you make a brick that you think is 1 inch, then you use that brick to mark off a yard stick, then you use the yard stick to setup an optical angular measurement to try to measure an inch, well, the precision you gain from the angular measurement is cancelled out by the precision you lost from the fact that the error of your nearly-one-inch block was multiplied 36 times when you used it to make a yard stick.
To "realize" (establish) a measurement from not having one to start with, you need to build a laser inferometer which will measure the speed of light. Since the definition of a meter is the distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second, if you can measure the light, the light will measure your ruler.
Have you seen the price of precision metrology equipment lately? Neither have I, I've been too busy rubbing these sticks together in an attempt to find flatn...
>The mètre was introduced – defined as one ten-millionth of the shortest distance from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris, assuming an Earth flattening of 1/334
With some exceptions, Metric is roughly as arbitrary as imperial.
Water freezing at (about) 0C and boiling at (about) 100C is more convenient than 32 and 212, but PSI and pound-feet of torque is more convenient than bar, pascals, and newton-meters.
Generally, pounds-force is much more convenient than newtons. Metric should have used KG-force because everyone intuitively knows what a KG is.
Actually I think it's better. The reason is because the amount that you drive every week or month or so is arguably fixed, and L/100k directly converts that into liters which is a proxy for cost.
Why that's important is because MPG can give you misleading intuition. For example: Lets say you're buying a car and a truck, you will drive both roughly equally, you could spend a little extra on a 40 MPG car rather than a 35 MPG car, or you could use that money instead to spend a little extra on an 11 MPG truck rather than a 10 MPG truck. Which one should you choose?
It's not immediately obvious and can't solve it in your head...
But here are the conversions: 11 MPG = 21.38 L/100k 10 MPG = 23.52 L/100k 40 MPG = 5.88 L/100k 35 MPG = 6.72 L/100k
So the 1 MPG between 10 and 11 is worth 2.14 L/100k, but the 5 MPG between 35 and 40 is only worth 0.84 L/100k. Investing extra in the truck is the better choice, and L/100k easily tells you that but MPG doesn't.
Petit rappel pour améliorer grandement sa tranquillité : installer sur son téléphone Android le bloqueur d'appels indésirables #YetAnotherCallBlocker
Après un an d'utilisation, la conclusion est claire : c'est top ! Ça fonctionne parfaitement bien et tous les insupportables appels pour vous parler des aides de l'État, ou pour Ma Prime Rénov, ou pour l'assurance-vie Machin, etc. sont automatiquement rejetés.
Il suffit de prendre quelques petites minutes au départ pour ajouter dans la liste noire tous les modèles de numéros réservés au démarchage téléphonique.
En France, ce sont tous les numéros commençant par 0162, 0163, 0270, 0271, 0377, 0378, 0424, 0425, 0568, 0569, 0948, 0949.
✅ Installé, configuré, merci 🙏 ! Je reçois beaucoup plus d'appels de démarchage depuis quelques temps et l'anti-spam de l'appli Orange les détecte mais ne les bloque pas...
Du coup, elle fonctionne toujours bien ? Parce-qu'elle n'est plus maintenue depuis 2021.
Il y a aussi SpamBlocker. Mais je peux pas faire de retour sur son efficacité ; ça fait pas longtemps que je l'ai installée. 👉 f-droid.org/en/packages/spam.b…
oui, mais : Version 0.5.17 (5170) suggéré Ajouté le 18 Nov, 2021 et Xynngh authored 28 avr. 2024 pour la dernière mise à jour. N'est ce pas un peu gênant ?
@niavy @D_cence @Neoresistant Ben oui, justement ! C'est bien pour ça que l'application de blocage automatique de ces appels est très importante et utile.
@niavy @chicraote L'application d'Orange que j'utilisais auparavant a perdu l'essentiel de ses fonctionnalités de blocage qui sont maintenant disponibles seulement via une option payante. Elle est devenue totalement inutile. D'où mon abandon de cette application il y a un an pour passer sur YetAnotherCallBlocker.
A noter que l'application n'est pas du gout de Google play protect (j'ai souvenir que cette application était sur le Google store avant de se faire ban; les règles du jeu de Google avec les apps qui lui font de l'ombre). Il faut donc vous attendre à avoir tous les 15 jours à 1 mois une notification "d'appli dangeureuse" à dégager. Et désactiver Google play protect vous permettera de vous rendre compte que cela ne sert à rien. Google se torche de votre choix et scannera quand même votre téléphone.
Can our leaders provide some kind of explanation as to why nothing can be done to stop the genocide in #gaza ? The absence of an explanation that could be understood (I say understood, not accepted or acceptable) by the majority of reasonable people is one of the aspects of this that erodes trust in leaders and institutions. Is the explanation that the Palestinians were sentenced to this in 1948 because the world powers just decided that would be OK?
"I never imagined that hunger could be more terrifying than the bombs and killing. This weapon caught us off-guard, something we never thought would be more brutal than anything else we’ve faced in this endless war.

I am actually in San Sebastian in Spain at the moment. So good to see Palestine flags everywhere. But it’s just bringing out the contrast with my own governments more. Deeply ashamed to be German/British. #Gaza
#Gaza it’s so awful. Apologies, i will stop now. But i am so angry and upset that we (our governments here) have actually allowed this to happen. Shame on them.
I can take away a little bit of your shame. I voted for Mera25/DiEM25 who are very much in favour of Palestine. I did not vote for the German government, and I do object to this government!
It's unbearable. Profoundly depressing that this is a supposedly "Labour" gov't, headed by a former human rights lawyer, and not only not intervening, but actively working to criminalise protest against it.
It's telling how our countries' leaders value business deals and diplomacy over life. The UK leads the way with its crackdown on protest. Such hideously callous bastards.
From experience, some people live in a different world. Genocide is not genocide. Children are not starving. It's all because of Hamas. Israelis are totally innocent. archive.is/dLU7b @palestine

With Sonoma, Apple grafted their iOS widget system to macOS. Of course, widgets are something we’ve enjoyed for a long while on KDE, starting with Plasma 4. But Apple’s implementation IS better in some regards.
Widgets can auto align if you want them to: dragging a widget close to another one you’ve already placed displays a white outline that will make the new widget snap in place, so everything looks tidy.
Something that is very, very difficult to do in KDE. Most widgets don’t have a similar aspect ratio, or size, and resizing them tends to be a finicky operation. On top of that, Apple offers multiple preset sizes for their widgets, and these can be changed on the fly. But these widgets are also a lot less functional than the ones we have on KDE.
They’re not really interactive: you can just click on them to open the related app. That’s it. No note taking straight in the notes widget, no clicking on a specific day in the weather widget. And there’s also no “user contributed widget directory”.
One new feature in MacOS Sonoma is a better autocorrect and predictive text system. Autocorrect can be a bit annoying on a computer, but the predictive text can be a game-changer, especially for those with disabilities.
On Linux, we have something called iBus typing booster, which does pretty much the same thing, but it is hidden in the input sources settings, and not an easy one click toggle. The way it works is also pretty distracting, as it displays a complete pop-up with word suggestions that flickers in and out of existence with each character you type.
MacOS Sonoma brings 2 main improvements for gaming: the first one is game mode, which does exactly the same thing as its Linux equivalent: it gives CPU priority to the game that's currently running, and also reduces latency for bluetooth controllers and bluetooth headphones, something that we DO NOT have on Linux, and that's been an issue for a lot of people.
The second thing is their game porting toolkit, which lets developers test their games on Apple Silicon macs. And this toolkit basically converts DirectX12 games into Metal Games thanks to a translation layer. It shares a lot of DNA with Proton, since it's based on Wine, and the same kind of translation DXVK does. Performance is no good yet, though.
Sonoma lets you set some animated screensavers, that represent a bunch of landscapes, cityscapes, even underwater scenes and Earth views. When you unlock your mac, this animation will seamlessly transition into your wallpaper.
On Linux, we do have animated wallpapers. Screensavers aren’t really a thing on Linux anymore, you can add them back.
Now in terms of OS compatibility, there's an important “feature” in MacOS Sonoma that we need to spotlight. Unlike Linux's broad compatibility, which supports a diverse range of devices of all ages, MacOS Sonoma adopts a more restrictive approach, narrowing down its compatibility to Macs manufactured from 2018 onwards.
Now, Safari can boast,of profiles to separate for example your work and personal browsing. They also now support web apps that can be pinned to your dock.. A bunch of web browsers on Linux can do that already.
FaceTime now lets you overlay yourself on top of the slides or screen that you’re sharing with others. This already exists as “presenter mode” on Microsoft Teams, which is available on Linux as well. And of course, as long as Facetime doesn’t have an app for Windows, no one will use it in a professional context, so what’s the point?
Discord is great for playing games and chilling with friends, or even building a worldwide community. Customize your own space to talk, play, and hang out.

Yeah, chemistry has come so far in the last - even 30 - years, that it's easy to forget how much power we have available if we look around. There are even now commercial milling machine makers (for metal) making the machine frame out of 2 granite aggregate cemented with a 2 part epoxy.
@cjd no. Not with a consumer grade 3 axis machine. Not by a long shot. To get anywhere close you need a five axis mill, and at that point your shape file requires a lot more work than drawing in 2D and adding a depth to it.
And you'd still get all sorts of ugly tear-out and artefacts because a carving blade doesn't move at a thousand ripms. It's an artform. And chip carving is very simple and low barrier to entry. Piece of wood and a short, stiff, straight blade. And some time.
Hmm indeed. My thought was not so much to fool people into thinking it was hand carved, but more to easily make something with a really pleasant aesthetic. I imagine probably: 1. The type of wood matters a lot 2. There are some shapes you can't do (e.g. sharp cracks) 3. Choice of tools and speeds matters a lot as well
I imagine probably some dremel tooling would do finishing passes pretty well.
@cjd That's kinda my point: it is surprisingly easy to do basic woodcarving. And very accessible. Whereas getting the machinery, tooling and process dialed in to approximate it is very much not. And the result will always be inferior, in my book at least.
* The physics of how router bits cut is inferior to a slow slicing knife * The end result is as close to interchangable with any other panel you ran with the same pattern
Well, it might be approachable, but I'm not that motivated to become any good at it. There are lots of activities like gardening, hiking, reading a book, and of course wood carving, which are great things to do, but they're not *my* favorite because I just more enjoy doing things which have some potential to add to the body of human knowledge.
I know that's going to sound pretentious as hell, and let me assure you that I don't consider myself to be of any historical significance whatsoever. Also, I never think of my leisure activities as being to some kind of professional standard... the goal isn't to work, it's to have fun.
But the selection of things I like to do is those which have the theoretical potential to somehow contribute something. Even my worthless commentary here on the Fedi is something that could potentially get scraped up by an AI, which gets copied into a better AI, and then a better one, and eventually ends up being a couple of bits of weights in some future global super-intelligence, thereby adding one quadrillionth* of one percent to the history of human progress.
So for me, I more enjoy the idea of futzing around with CNC machines and publishing my bad designs in little git repos.
*It's probably a bigger denominator, but I don't know any larger numbers than that.
Good morning all I returned to Texas last night. The service for mom went great. I don't for one second regret returning to VA to honor her memory. Many of mom's prayer fellowship were there, plus old family friends, and her sister was able to come. It was not a funeral; my mom didn't want that. It was a memorial tribute to her and it was mostly an acknowledgement of a life well- lived.
We live-streamed it. I sent the link to everyone invited. My brother never even opened the email.
The hospice chaplain attended via the link and he messaged me that it was a great service. He told me I did the right thing by going back to the DMV to have it there.
I'll bet my brother never does his own service for her. Even small ones take planning, effort AND money. He never did any of those with mom.
The church was too small to have a luncheon so instead, I gave all attendees a purple gift bag that I filled with mom's favorite foods.
The bag contained A foil- lined sandwich bag with 2 fried chicken wings Mini bottles of hot sauce A container of pasta salad with grilled vegetables and poppy-seed dressing A bag of Utz Crab(Old Bay- flavored) potato chips A can of Coke A slice of white chocolate mousse cake from Stella's Bakery A handful of Tootsie Rolls Two gold forks A gift tag with mom's picture.
I was happy with the service. At first, not having a luncheon bothered me but it turned out to be better. Everyone was tired.
The guests were mostly older folks who battled over two hours of terrible traffic to get there. They needed to get back and have a rest and I was pretty much at my end, too. I had to make the gift bags, design a program, pick the songs for the service, write a biography and a tribute to my mom, order flowers, and make a tribute video in less than 2 weeks. I was plumb tuckered, as they used to say.
Thank God for good friends. They chipped in time to help me make everything and extra $$.
I gained five pounds and felt like a VIP with all the invitations to breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think we were taken out to eat like fifteen times!
We had Mike's American grill 2x, Coastal Flats 2x, Artie's, breakfast (First Watch & Metro 29 Diner) fish and chips, had Ledo's pizza a few times, and of course we went to Stella's.
I tried to bring home a small mousse cake with us but somehow the melted ice seeped into the carefully wrapped plastic bag and saturated it. Epic fail.
I hate that my mom's not with us any longer for ME, not for her. Mom is fine now having the time of her life and enjoying perfect health. But it's a big adjustment for us.
Even though I have more time on my hands, and my anxiety level has dropped considerably, I'd rather have my mom here. But like she was before the strokes, NOT like these final years. It was a very long decline and I'm happy she's no longer suffering.
I will now be able to visit friends in VA more often, and I will.
Just now read this -- I've been out-to-lunch for a few days (or maybe just plain out-of-it??)
Your tribute to your mom sounds like a sweet success, just like she would wish for. So glad it went well. And as for your brother, you did indeed do the best that anyone could do while keeping proper boundaries. Well done!
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers as you process this huge life change. ❤ ❤
@ILoveAmericaNews I mean I do think it is kinda crap how many animals are treated. I like meat and it’s fine to eat it but I don’t really want the animal to have a shit life or bad death before that.
Industrial meat farming is dirty and unhealthy in many ways.
It would be great to know where my meat comes from. One of these days I'll be able to afford buying a half cow at a time straight from the farmer.
That's what my dad and brother-in-law do with bison. They split a half bison a couple of times a year directly from a rancher. You have to have a big freezer, and the upfront cost is high, but it's a great way of doing things other than that.

Thousands of people have turned out in the streets of Kyiv to protest moves by Zelensky’s government to block anti-corruption measures.
The vote targeted the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies, including the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) that was made infamous with Joe Biden's threats against the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's corrupt activity at Burisma.
The Ukraine government is also becoming increasingly unpopular due to Zelensky's refusal to seek an end to the war.
Zelensky has established control over state media, outlawed over a dozen political parties, and has suspended democratic elections while he is in power. BREAKING: Mass protests have erupted in Kyiv, Ukraine against President Volodymyr Zelensky.

We've arrived at the stage where our 'global leaders' are expressing their 'horror' about Israel's extermination of the people of #Gaza. The UK's foreign secretary says he's "sickened".
Call it the 'emotion stage'. What purpose does it have?
The emotion stage is meant to make those leaders seem less sociopathic to you. True, they've not used their power to stop Israel. And you know it. And they're still not doing that. But they want you to know that, nonetheless, 'they feel it too'.
The next stage will repeat the familiar: our 'global leaders' will get distracted again by the next row over alleged antisemitism. Perhaps it's an artist calling for Israel to be dismantled. Perhaps it's an aid-worker saying that this is just as bad as Auschwitz.
And all the time, nothing will happen. I'll predict that for you. As long as you keep waiting for your 'horrified global leaders' to do the right thing, the people still alive in Gaza will continue to starve and will continue to be torn apart by bombs.
Don't wait for those 'leaders' to do the right thing. Continuing to sit on their hands must be made simply too costly. You must help inflate the personal cost, the political cost, and the economic cost of supporting a #genocide. Inflate it until it hurts them. Only then will something happen.
i notice this differs in different countries. My phone behaves differently in Australia vs Thailand for sure.
Maybe their understand of consent is closer to "the worst we can get away with under local law." Still very much contemptuous. And shows they can do differently quite easily.
It is appalling, the way profiteering companies ignore our explicit non-consent and treat us and our property and our data so badly. This forced update happened to me too and I am currently waiting on a new one to happen, judging by the increasing number of update notifications my phone is sending me.
It's always funny when I guy says he wished he had a girlfriend in high school just to get hit with "Whem, young love is actually cringe and not worth it, chud," because what he's actually saying is that he wishes he had had sex with high school girls (which is legal) when it was both legal and socially accepted for him to do so.
France bans ALL genetic sequencing based on "medical ethics". So stuff like 23&me is illegal too. However, apparently there have been cases where a judge ordered a paternity test because the child didn't look like the husband so he sued.
Black baby = you can sue because it's obviously not yours.
The French are much more focused on doing what is rational and realistic, "oh golly jee this is dumb but it's the rule and rules are rules" is a G*rman thing.
I mean, I want to *feel* free, in that I don't want to worry about cops and fines, and getting arrested, but that just means I don't like rules that affect my day-to-day life and are easy to accidentally break.
Having the liberty to fuck some other dude's wife is worth absolutely nothing to me.
why driver's license? I get it in the US where you have no national ID document and having a driver's license is mandatory on order to function as an adult anyway
1. I generally use US terms because a lot of people here are American and they get it quicker.
2. A happy marriage is property that is more valuable than a house, destroying it should be regarded as more criminal than burning down someone's house while they are away.

I also have verbal proof now that they are talking negatively about me. That’s what I expected.
They banned smoking and I had to do some work outside and saw cigarette trash outside, next to the container for flammable paints and shit. I snitched. But before doing that I went around and talked to people who I know smoke that I am going to snitch because it’s flammable shit. They all seemed fine with it.
The woman went around talking how “you don’t do that” trying to get people hating me.
I don't often agree with women, but when I do, I do. By your own admission, you did snitch. Where I'm from that's a capital offense, pretty much, and there's very little possible extenuating circumstances.
@cjd ha! Not that anyone would have anything against you if you suffered damages, got assaulted robbed, or anything of that nature and went to the cops. That's just seeking justice and it's totally fine. But when you're just, you know, literally snitching even though nothing happened to you, you better start packing because you'll be an outcast in your town at the best of circumstances, and that's only if you live in some sort of hippie comine where everyone's a pacifist
I'm from Massachusetts (which if you didn't know, is basically an Irish colony), so I know exactly the concept. That said, there's a stupid balance where it's like someone gets murdered and everyone's like "what, you're just gonna go snitch?!"
So as a result, the whole community goes to shit and you've got trash everywhere, crime running rampant and nobody says anything because "muh snitching". I guess in Italy there's more of a system where if there's low level bullshit you can just complain about it at the local pub and it gets "handled"...
Sucks for her that I went around before and explained my reasoning and essentially warning them. And at least who I talked to seemed to get it and didn’t even want to smoke there anyway.
Get fucked. People are actually reasonable and understand when you talk to them. Unless you are fucking evil and suck.
The decision by the then government to allow immediate unrestricted access to migrants from those countries was widely seen as having contributed to a major increase in immigration in the years that followed, with net EU migration surging to more than 200,000 a year.
