The Matrix and Jurassic Park come to mind.

Must be a problem with floating point precision.

The second case that begins next month began with a lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by the Justice Department and eight states in December 2020, during former President Trump’s administration.

Prosecutors allege that since at least 2015 Google has thwarted meaningful competition and deterred innovation through its ownership of the entities and software that power the online advertising technology market.

My partner suggested this to me once and I thought, “nothing to lose” so I gave it a go.

Correlation does not imply causation, so I can’t guarantee that the sugar is doing anything at all, but every time except once I’ve had a teaspoon of sugar with hiccups, they have stopped.

To that end, I’ll be doing it as long as it keeps on seeming to have an effect.

Hot take: if people have a legitimate opinion that needing to sign up for an Epic account is something that they didn’t anticipate / don’t like / don’t want to do, then it is a fair and valid review and not “review bombing”.

We have no laws to fit your crimes.

Ah nice, you’re GPIO to generate tones with PWM. Very cool!

Great to hear you got it sorted! May I ask out of curiosity which library you are using to play sounds?

As a large language learning model, I resent the implication. 😂

I’m replying with a sample size of N=1 so don’t take too much from it, but I suspect it’s not the typical response (at least, not yet anyway).

People do often seem to complain about bot accounts but I don’t know how much of those are in the space of stirring up hot topics to generate content, vs informational (or dis-informational) bot accounts posting on requests for help or explanations.

I guess if people are seeking answers for something, having a bot feed responses to suit some kind of agenda is entirely a possibility, so I wouldn’t write it off as something that could happen. To that end, being wary of posts that look like they might be generated due to the tone/content is probably fair enough.

Yeah, already jumped ship when they started the api and mod nonsense. This was a bit before all that.

I was once accused on Reddit of being a bot after spending half an hour crafting a reply to a question with detail and examples. It’s a great way to discourage people from trying to be helpful 🫠

It should be possible, but the answer is going to depend on your implementation, what libraries you are using, and so on.

For example, if the play sound action is synchronous, then maybe you could start it up in another thread, and interrupt that thread if you want to cancel the sound.

If it’s asynchronous, maybe you need to retain a reference to the sound object and then invoke a stop() call when the other button is pressed.

WHY IS IT SO FUNNY

More words than the “article”… negative savings!

Bad bot :(

On “we as people can perceive imperial temperatures a lot better than metric,” I’d agree to disagree here - Celsius is pretty straight-forward. Temperate is temperature, it’s just about what numbers you’re assigning to which temperatures.

0°C is when water freezes, and 100°C is when water boils. A 10°C day is cold, a 20°C day is mild, a 30°C day is hot, and a 40°C day is when you melt.

Whatever you grew up with is probably what is going to be easiest for you to comprehend, but Celsius is no more difficult or less perceptible, just a different value range.
