New Zealander here. A lot of the lower limits being rolled back were specifically targeting school zones. This is genuinely about children’s safety

One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I’m so glad Lemmy has this too.

I clicked that link and the first dozen results were Reddit posts and garbage

To answer your question without being a dickhead: The given x indicates the point on the curve you need to find the slope at. In other words, find the derivative and then evaluate that function at the given x.

Loved my QC25s until they broke. The new versions are a pain to keep charged…

If rust code relies on a C API (as it necessarily does), then a breaking change to the API requires changing that rust code. This is common sense.

If a process is set up for deferring rust maintenance to a rust developer, this can only last as long as rust maintainers are willing to staff it.

If C developers are unwilling to accept any risk of needing to touch rust code in the future, then rust contributions should not have been allowed in the first place.

Allowing rust contributions and then imposing restrictions on what can be done with it? That’s not reasonable.

Mocked up a super rough example to try this: https://metronope.bickio.me/

Here’s a super rough demo: https://metronope.bickio.me/

Yeah I’ll code this up today and send you a link

This is similar to some popular exercises for improving your internal pulse. E.g. having the metronome drop out for a number of bars while you’re playing.

My prediction:

On its own, it would be hard to derive the underlying pulse. Even a trained musician would take a little while (my guess is 4+ measures). In the context of a song it would probably have little to no effect.

I could probably test this if anyone’s interested

470 upvotes on a post which isn’t a meme? Come on, we’re better than this

Technically yes, but a french crepe would be unidentifiable to someone who had only seen American pancakes

This is too good

You misunderstand what a learning curve means. The x-axis is the desired level of productivity/proficiency, and the y-axis is necessary knowledge/skill. A steep learning curve means you need a lot of knowledge/skill to even be slightly productive/proficient, making the learning process daunting for new users. A gentle learning curve means you get rewarded throughout the learning process with frequent productivity/proficiency gains. A “cliff” means there will be a long period of learning with little to show for it until the end.

Took me a while to realise they weren’t asking about the B.A.T.M.A.N networking protocol on some sort of “T??? Attached Storage” device

Yes

Originally? Probably lack of options. These days the aim of the game is sounding “like a violin”, so naturally there’s very little innovation in violin technology.
