I once met a guy in a guitar shop telling me about the "litter boxes" in the class room of a local high school. I was working as a substitute teacher at the time while I finished my master's thesis. I told him that I work at that school regularly and could confirm that it was a facebook shitpost and not even remotely grounded in reality.
He walked out of that store still 100% convinced that our local high school just had students casually pooping in the corner during class.
I mean sure, we still had students pooping in the corner during class, but it had nothing to do with litter boxes. It was very much motivated by how much they hated that particular science teacher, and there was absolutely nothing casual about it.

It sounds like the Rat might be more of what you are looking for. Blues can and does distort, but not THAT much. Try out a Rat, dial it back a little, then see what you think. Worst case scenario, you try stacking the TS and the Rat? Although, that may get untenable quickly.
I'll also put the Fulltone OCD overdrive onto your radar. It has a very wide range and my buddy loves it with his deluxe reverb. It isn't as classic or super well-known, but it isn't super obscure either.
Ok, reading the description, it is may be trying to sound like a deluxe reverb or a blues junior.
If that is true, then a blues driver pairs with that amp style really well in my opinion. More grit than a typical tubescreamer, but not quite a full bore distortion pedal like a DS-1 or a Distortion+ (My personal favorite distortion).
Check out some samples online and see what you think. If you want something a little more like Black Keys, or Jimi Hendrix, then you may also want to consider fuzz pedals with some, relatively lower-ish, gain settings.
Ok? Have fun with all that
[28:18] Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
I don't know where he got that RATHER than the Jews from the book of Matthew, since I read that as more of an AND, but the rest is from the end of the book of Matthew.
Now please go be a teenage atheist edgelord somewhere else. We'll be here when you want to have a discussion in good faith, but for now, go sea-lion somewhere else.
What amp & amp settings do you typically use?
What would you call it is someone said to another person, "No you are wrong" and the other person "Ya know what? You are right!" and then proceeded to do exactly the thing they were asked to do originally? I'd call that admitting fault. What would you call an interaction like that?
You really don't think the context of the woman correcting him, Jesus accepting the response of a canaanite woman, admitting fault, thanking her for her faith, and then rewarding her doesn't change the context of "Jesus compared a woman to a dog" just a little bit?
Why did you stop at verse 26?
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Yes, but the political blowback from both parties would likely not be worth it. Especially because Republicans would immediately add double the amount Biden would, and it would very likely quickly grow into full bore shenanigans.
I guess not. I thought that I remembered an old AP article online about this from the 1980s about a police raid at a farm compound somewhere in Alabama. However, I cannot find the original source for this claim anywhere! So either all evidence of this event has been scrubbed from the internet, or I have misremembered the event. I consider one of these more likely than the other.
From what I remember of the story, this family had basically just kept their slaves hidden away on their small plantation during reconstruction, then just kept them hidden away from the rest of society by not allowing them to leave the compound. Someone finally escaped during the 1980s, was discovered, and eventually taken into police custody. This eventually led to the raid on the compound and the AP article that I remember.
I remember doing a lot of research into neoslavery right around when this video from Knowing Better and this video from All Gas No Brakes came out. Both videos talked a lot about slavery after the Civil War (The AGNB video was more indirect, but an interviewee in the video name-dropped a lot of stuff that I was ignorant about), which is what piqued my interest. I guess that I must be conflating a couple of different events despite my vivid memory of the article. If anyone else remembers reading the article, or the event occurring (because again, 1980-something is not that long ago), please let me know!
Friendly reminder that chattel slavery didn't end in the United States until almost ww2, and some places still illegally enslaved black families continously since the civil war up until the 1980s. (EDIT: I thought that I remembered an old AP article online about this from the 1980s about a police raid at a farm compound somewhere in Alabama. However, I cannot find the original source for this claim, so I am retracting it. From what I remember of the story, this family had basically just kept their slaves hidden away on their small plantation during reconstruction, then just kept them hidden away from the rest of society by not allowing them to leave the compound. Someone finally escaped during the 1980s, was discovered, and eventually taken into police custody. This eventually led to the raid on the compound and the AP article that I remember.)
Then obviously prison slave labor is still an ongoing issue.

Reasonable minds feel free to disagree, but I've got to admit that I'm shocked to see the lemmy community rally around the defense of Ray Croc of all people.
And Ray Croc didn't invent McDonald's, but poured the foundation that McDonald's is built on. I place Musk in a similar, although not entirely the same, category.
"We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. This is just one of those other things." - My dad quoting JFK at me to get me to do the dishes as a teenager. I don't think he would remember even saying that to me, but has always stuck with me. Something said about something so monumental being applied to something so benign. But that wasn't the point, because it was hard for me.
A mechanical metronome will help with a visual indicator, but this smells like a classic XY problem to me. Your issue isn't that you need a visually distinctive metronome, it's that you are rushing the beat and need to break that habit.
Sadly, a metronome can only get you halfway in that endeavor. The real fix will be to practice with other musicians who can call you out on it in real-time. It is embarrassing, it is time-consuming, and it isn't fun, but it WILL break you of the habit and force you to play better. And make sure they call you out on it immediately. As in you do not get to continue the song once it is noticed, and you must start over like dying in a video game.
Teaching also involves stating an idea - which the author forgot to actually do. If it is your article that I am criticizing, I'm sorry for being crass, but make no mistake, the writing is half-assed. An article whose primary piece of advice is to "focus on the datatypes", shouldn't avoid the word "datatype" until the 2nd to last header.
Truthfully, the article would be better served by removing the first and 2nd to last section and instead be titled "Why I dislike working with monads in languages that support monads."
Holy cow! What an absolute slog of a read. I'm not an AI model, but I'll do my best to summarize that link:
[When writing code that works with non-trivial and null-able data types,] use a data structure that makes illegal states unrepresentable. Model your data using the most precise data structure you reasonably can[, ...] as quickly as you can. [W]rite functions on the data representation you wish you had, not the data representation you are given. The design process then becomes an exercise in bridging the gap.
There. Hopefully someone out there learned something cool without having to read a 25-minute striptease before the author rushes through their main idea in the span of two bullet points found in the final 25% of the article.
That word would probably be either "skeuomorph" or "vestigial"
Facebook and Youtube pages appear to be completely rebranded.
I hope that Colin isn't selling off or stepping away from the channel. He has produced great content for years. His pragmatic approach to gear selection and maintenance combined with simple and easy-to-understand explanations made him a valuable asset to the community. I know that I've learned a lot about how my gear works and how to best select and modifier gear to get the effect that I want thanks directly to CSGuitars.

See title - very frustrating. There is no way to continue to use the TV without agreeing to the terms. I couldn't use different inputs, or even go to settings from the home screen and disconnect from the internet to disable their services. If I don't agree to their terms, then I don't get access to their new products. That sucks, but fine - I don't use their services except for the TV itself, and honestly, I'd rather by a dumb TV with a streaming box anyway, but I can't find those anymore.
Anyway, the new terms are about waiving your right to a class action lawsuit. It's weird to me because I'd never considered filing a class action lawsuit against Roku until this. They shouldn't be able to hold my physical device hostage until I agree to new terms that I didn't agree at the time of purchase or initial setup.
I wish Roku TVs weren't cheap walmart brand sh*t. Someone with some actual money might sue them and sort this out...
EDIT: Shout out to @testfactor@lemmy.world for recommending the brand "Sceptre" when buying my next (dumb) TV.
EDIT2: Shout out to @0110010001100010@lemmy.world for recommending LG smart TVs as a dumb-TV stand in. They apparently do require an agreement at startup, which is certainly NOT ideal, but the setup can be completed without an internet connection and it remembers input selection on powerup. So, once you have it setup, you're good to rock and roll.
The Wayne Henderson Music Festival, a popular performance and competition event in southwestern Virginia, has announced that this year's will be the last.
The Henderson music festival jump-started many careers and encouraged many players to go beyond their current abilities. This is a major loss for bluegrass & country guitarists, and the greater music community across the Appalachian mountains.
Let's share about our favorite guitar picks.
Jazz III's are a popular favorite in my area, although I've almost always bought the cheapo Fender mediums and heavys. My dad played these powdergripped Dunlap tortexes for years, but they always felt so weird and out of place to me. I have a professional musician friend who swears by BlueChip flat picks. I'll defer to the community towards fingerpicks, felt picks, and sixpence coins.
Just trying to inject some life into this community beyond NGD post.

How does your school/university teach it? What have been the pros and cons of that choice? Obviously, teaching students logical and foundational concepts is the most important part, but a student's first programming language does color their internalization of the concepts and how they approach solving different problems. For example, OOP is really hard to grasp coming from a functional background. Learning how to manage memory efficiently and use appropriate data types is really hard coming from an interpreted language like Python or Javascript. What have you and your peers decided works best for you and your students?

Hey all, I want to revamp some of my assignments this coming semester. One of the first projects I always start with is something to get some hands-on experience with conditional logic. However, these projects are getting pretty stale at this point. So, I'm turning to this community for some fresh ideas.
Keep in mind, these assignments are for brand-new programmers within the first 2-4 weeks of the course. At this point, they won't have really been taught loops, functions, collections, etc., beyond that they exist. They really just know basic syntax, variable types, and terminal input and output. This is where they will practice working with boolean expressions and selection statements like if-else, if-else if-else, and switch.
Here's what I've been doing for some reference:
-
Write a program to turn an integer grade into a letter grade.
- 50 -> F
- 81 -> B-
- 99 -> A+
-
Write a program to convert a number from 1 to 7 into the corresponding day of the week.
- 1 -> Monday
- 7 -> Sunday
-
Write a program that determines the time necessary for sound to travel a given distance in a given medium.
- 500ft, water -> 0.1s
- 1500ft, air -> 1.3s
-
Write a program that determines the total price of a bulk order of widgets, with discounts for orders over a certain amount according to some table.
- 30 -> $30
- 500 -> $300
-
Write a program that determines the quadrant of a given point.
- 15, 7 -> Quadrant I
- 6, -4 -> Quadrant IV
I'm looking for something new to play with my 7yo son. Mario games are a great amount of fun, but I'm feeling pretty burnt out and am looking to expand things a little bit. We are looking for cooperative games like Pikmin 3, Cuphead, and Hyrule Warriors rather than competitive-only games like Super Smash Brothers and Mario Kart. We appreciate whatever help you all can offer, so thanks in advance!
