I was nodding the whole time until I got to this comment. This is the one that is unusual to me, because it would be my fault and the person informing me is just doing their job; well or not. They have no opinion about me nor should I of them. The whole transaction would be effortless if not for having emotions mixed in, I think those are best saved for personal relationships.


Same thoughts here.

I would probably agree with the attendant if they told me "You were stupid for losing your ticket." I wouldn't think I was actually stupid, but being responsible for my actions is important to me.

Also, being adhd Ive accepted the bone-headed things I do/lose. It also wouldn't be a shock to find the parking ticket in the freezer a week later.


Their view of the attendant as a cog in the machine appears to be a justification for their "learned helplessness" to situations. They've internalized that certain policies they come into contact with in the world are non-negotiable and to attempt to negotiate is shouting into the void, thus a waste of energy.

To them, it's irrelevant whether the helplessness is real or not. So they don't bother to take a moment to poke at the attendant's capacity for resolving the situation to their advantage.

I wouldn't say that its an unusual view, but it may indicate a deep desire for efficiency (don't argue, simply pay and be on ones way), financial privilege (an extra $20 charge is no big deal), or could be symptoms of deeper issues relating to self-worth (I am not worthy to ask for a break).


I was looking for exactly this about two weeks ago for a 3D editor UI and ended up with Facebook's Yoga library. So far things are running smooth.

I would look closer at this library too, if it wasn't for:

"Clay UI hierarchies are built using C macros"

Yikes :S


Yoga is pretty good. Used to have a few bugs that stayed around way too long when it was abandoned for a few years. Development has picked up again though


I still remember my first credit in a blockbuster production, after a first few years in TV advertising that name no names, and it was exhilarating. My name is since forever embedded into the artwork we all worked towards. I was also paid, but with that money now long gone I just wanted to highlight that there is value not just in money.


I also like that I can point to my production credits as public proof of employment history.


I was curious what you meant and went to have a look. At first all seemed well, until I got to the actual audio processing part. :)

Then again, maybe this is the norm for audio engineers? Not my field.


The documentation for that specific module even calls it out as "painfully hard-coded biquad filter code", YMMV.

I'd guess those files aren't what the author actually edits - there are commits that suggest that they are _generated_ from "boilerplate", and even a few files that seem to have failed interpolations ("__MyCompanyName__" in some copyright lines, for instance)

A lot of files also seem to have duplicated code, down to individual comments. For instance, the comment on line 24 reoccurs on line 344 of this effect:

https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/blob/master/plugins...

and in the Mac AU version on line 267:

https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/blob/master/plugins...

and in the Linux VST version on lines 24 and 344:

https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/blob/master/plugins...


Streisand effect in action, can't wait to read this now. :) https://web.archive.org/web/20231121200115/https://insideroc...


That's exactly what a spy would say. Get'em boys!


Very + Happy = Intoxicated. So true! :D


I second this! I was also looking for performance (3d graphics usage) and NoMachine is surprisingly performant; currently using it across both Windows, Linux and Mac and consider my search to be over.


I remember being surprised that watching a video on my remote desktop worked as well as it did, over 100Mb LAN, circa 2010.


The announcement for Flipper Zero was posted here not that long ago. Of course this is what people had in mind for it. :)


Yes really nice to see it having some real-world applications already. I might get one


The irony of you bringing politics into the conversation. :D
