Awesome! I want some

Border Patrol shot Alex Pretti, not ICE

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world...

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

After removing Allen (who remained peaceful), the federal agents move in to gas the crowd. They continue to pepper spray protestors who have already been pinned.

They are lifting him into the bed of a pickup against his will

StatusCoup - Twitch BREAKING: ICE SHOOTS ANOTHER IN MINNEAPOLIS, TEAR GASSING OBSERVERS AT SCENE

Watch here www.twitch.tv/statuscoup

@whstancil.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @minneapolismn.gov

He says "They will kill me if you let this happen. Stop taking pictures and save my life."

Refuses to move

He is saying he has a passport in his front pocket

Happening right now, ICE arrests a peaceful citizen from the crowd.

"I have done nothing wrong! I am a United States Citizen. [My name is] Matthew James Obediah Allen"

And you have too many pencils!

"The client doesn't know what they want" is a super old truism in all design fields, but replacing your client's needs with those of the contractor/designer is the worst possible way to respond to this.

Is anyone else noticing an uptick in seemingly fake accounts this week? I suddenly have 11 new "followers" but haven't posted anything attention worthy in months. Seems very suspicious.

Since ICE so clearly follows the law...

Very cool! I would be interested to learn about how you solved the hidden line rejection problem. My approach uses a z-buffer to draw from near to far, and computes a "shadow" representing the obscured area as I go. There are cases that don't get handled well - notably lines with ambiguous depth.

Love your work! Does this start as a vector image or are you generating vector lines from a rasterized image at some point?

A reference key of glyphs hidden in the spectrogram of an audio signal from the video game Elite Dangerous. The glyphs look like scrawled symbols in scratchy handwriting. Each is labeled with a red number by a computer vision algorithm.

I've been totally sucked in by a puzzle in #EliteDangerous. I don't even play this game

Cool idea! I wonder a different grid system would make the word searching part more intuitive. It would make indexing in your code a lot harder, but a triangular or hexagonal grid may help by changing the number of available neighbors?

Wonderful! The little shadows really add a ton

Thanks!

Do you have any insight into when its best to move from exploration to implementation, or bounce back and forth? My sense is that this awareness is gained through practical experience in different problem spaces, and over time you learn to "feel" it. This makes it a tricky process to teach though!

To me, the advice to fully explore the problem-space is most useful for novices who need to be deliberate about not committing to a solution too soon.
On the other hand, experts can often do this exploration work implicitly by drawing from relevant experience to inform viable directions forward.

I think the ability to effectively switch between different design spaces is something that is developed over time, with expertise. Novices and learners tend to become quickly attached to early solutions because they offer solid ground in uncertain and ambiguous phases of the design process.

Oh that's awesome! Unfortunately, the video compression is really getting in the way...

U Michigan spent nearly a million dollars paying private spies to follow and harass its own students. The university is in crisis.
