Legally my state can’t tell us why. They banned the words that you would use to describe the situation.

Looks like they’re trying really hard to cancel out all of those progressive votes in Orlando.

Violent rhetoric definitely influences the mentally ill.

That’s how you know who is the main character.

I thought the bottom formation was teeth coming up to swallow the oddly drawn tree.

I strongly prefer recursive descent for parsers for a different reason: clarity. They are easy to read and they are easy to generate helpful error messages for the user because right there in the code of your parser you can provide great, contextually-relevant error messages.

I’ve tried parser generators a few times, but after running with the code for a while, it just doesn’t offer me the level of error reporting flexibility that I can achieve using a simple descent.

Article title from the original source was changed by the author because it doesn’t actually make the case that the title claim is going to occur.

“When circumvention is more popular than compliance” is the new title.

In what sense? It’s certainly a gathering place.

This doesn't seem to be a shitpost. This seems pretty cool.

Consider the discrepancies in jobs requiring similar education and responsibility, or similar skills, but divided by gender. The median earnings of information technology managers (mostly men) are 27 percent higher than human resources managers (mostly women), according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

I don’t think its article did itself a service by making this their first example of similar jobs with similar responsibilities.

A new study from researchers at Cornell University found that the difference between the occupations and industries in which men and women work has recently become the single largest cause of the gender pay gap, accounting for more than half of it. In fact, another study shows, when women enter fields in greater numbers, pay declines — for the very same jobs that more men were doing before.

I think the article has a habit of muddying its point. The second study is extremely interesting, but it belabors the first one.

While the pay gap has been closing, it remains wide. Over all, in fields where men are the majority, the median pay is $962 a week — 21 percent higher than in occupations with a majority of women, according to another new study, published Friday by Third Way, a research group that aims to advance centrist policy ideas.

Editing is bizarre. It seems like we were about to make an argument but then forgot to do so. It has the feel of someone who wrote an essay trying to meet a word count. We know why we’re here and reading. A simple report on the second study would have been plenty.

Finally, the article was posted back in 2016.

Unfortunately, those are the approved ones.

The billionaires are doing billionaire stuff again!

 

It would be so much more convenient for the both of us, and then he could go outside, anywhere, whenever he likes.

 

I wonder how many thousands of spam bots have tried to connect to the servers and send email using text ripped from these pages federated across numerous domains.

And they can’t just block one website. They’d have to individually block every node if they want to crawl the web for email addresses to steal. I hope it’s a real thorn in their side.

 

You’re indoors in the sense that you’re protected from the weather and the elements, and the cave could even have some kind of covering or entrance area that could be considered a door or doorway. People have built homes in caves.

Is caving an outside, inside activity?

 

Almost a month without a new post? Can’t have that. Have a cute clip!

 

I don't know many hams nor do I chat with the same hams on a recurring basis, and my wife is only tangentially interested in radio inasmuch as it makes me happy, so I thought I'd be the life of the party and post about the best day on the air I've had yet. My aim is to share my enthusiasm with the world.

I've been a ham for about a year. I'm young (experience-wise) and still learning. Until this weekend I've been using a portable whip on my balcony combined with my President Lincoln for 10 meter contacts. My antenna mounting situation was awfully complicated, so I often left the antenna mounted several days at a time such as on the weekends. This finally bit me when the fine women who were feeding the squirrels next door moved out. The squirrels went ballistic and destroyed my antenna along with wreaking havoc on the rest of the neighborhood. They chewed through the loading coil and the coax! Preposterous. I cannot imagine what they thought to gain from doing so. Nevertheless, it put me out of commission for a while.

I think the math behind magnetic loop antennas is really cool, and I don't have much space, so I decided to try the Chameleon F-loop as my next antenna, the base model. Wow, did I have so much fun today! Tuning was tricky because of that high Q and narrow bandwidth, but I didn't realize how active the airwaves could be when you can hear clearly. My reception was so much better because my noise floor seems to be lower with the mag loop compared to the whip. I also enjoyed the directionality of the loop, giving me a new property to play with to get the best reception.

Thanks for reading!

 

I really don't want to go into work tomorrow.

 

This sounds like a nice step towards modernizing texting, but it's a shame that Messages doesn't have an open RCS API to encourage broad adoption across messaging apps.

 

Been thinking about giving it another go just for some casual fun. I read that the developers still maintain it and the little silly animations are adorable.

Is it a good game? Not really, but it's cute.

Please excuse the YouTube link as I understand it's taboo around here, but I can't stop giggling at that animation and this community can always use more love.

Audio Loopback App (self.askandroid)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by henfredemars to c/askandroid@lemdro.id
 

On many operating systems, I can create audio loopback devices to feed audio files into another app as if it was coming from a microphone. I can also tee off audio going out to the speakers.

Is there an app that lets me redirect audio devices to perform the equivalent of connecting audio inputs and outputs on Android?

Note to moderators: while such a feature can be used for piracy, that is not my goal, and there are better methods if I was trying to be nefarious. I want to use it to feed audio samples from soundboard apps into my active phone call without having to play the sound effects through the microphone. I'd also like to use it to directly supply the output of an MP3 into another app that records my voicemail message for better quality than can be performed by simply recording through the microphone.
