This was expected but still a devastating loss for Oklahoma

Thanks to the wonderful group of people I have been trading with on bt.etree since the early 2000s, I finally finished pulling the Grateful Dead project and adding it to my already-massive collection.
-Every show in circulation (that we have access to and more...demos, rehearsals, etc.) -All LOSSLESS audio -Multiple sources (SBDs, Auds, matrices, different rigs, FOBs/OTS) -Everything annotated with full show info, source and transfers, history of the tapes, and personal notes

• every is a broad term....it's impossible. Not every source was circulated, and stuff keeps appearing. More accurately, it's "every show and source that hit etree since the project was enacted and that the seeders had acquired at that time. Still, it's pretty much every show.

Thanks to the amazingly thorough work of a handful of other obsessed collectors, this project was an attempt to compile and catalog each seeded source and transfer that passed through etree, re-seeded via packets by segments of years to make the most comprehensive collection of fan-circulated tapes there could be. It's been a work in progress for years.

I never thought this day would come, but I dreamed of it. A LOT. It all started with the first show of Giza 1978 that I acquired as a freshman in high school, I began collecting and listening to tapes. It ultimately led me to my career as a recording engineer and live sound engineer. I contributed some of the source tapes and transfers to this years ago. I struggled to figure out how and where I'd store all of this once I saw this project begin appearing. Then I upgraded my studio storage. It's all split between two NAS systems, both RAID-6, one is 48TB and the other is 144 TB (pictured above....I call her MOTHER, named after the control computer on the Nostromo). So far, I have listened to 1973 through 1975 completely, in chronological order.

The biggest debt of gratitude obviously goes to CHARLIE MILLER for all his phenomenal work in all aspects of these recordings....the granddaddy of Dead taping. Charlie, if you are reading this, I hope we meet some day and I can buy you a beer or something and give you a hug.
Thanks to all the seeders who kept this open and fed it to me. I'll try to return the favor by watching the seeds for orphans and feeding it back.

I can't express how happy this makes me, but if you've been collecting shows for decades, you might have an idea. Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile!

I'm not a religious guy

UPDATE: I REMOVED THE SYSTEM METHOD FOR INSTALLING TQDM AND INSTEAD USED SETUP.PY THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK :D

UPDATE 2: INSTEAD OF USING SETUPS AND REQUIREMENTS, I WILL PUT ALL THE MODULES NEEDED TO IMPORT IN THE PACKAGE ITSELF (I WILL CREDIT THE CREATOR) THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING

UPDATE 3: TURNS OUT THE SECOND UPDATE WAS GLITCHY, SO NOW WE ADDED A CONFIRMATION SYSTEM TO INSTALL PACKAGES, INSTEAD OF DOWNLOADING THEM WITHOUT ASKING

IMPORTANT: I HAVE TESTED THE MODULE AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS TO REPORT PLEASE REPORT THEM, (such as module not importing) ANY QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED, THANK YOU!

FYI: if any one of you thinks why I don't have any repositories, it's because I don't use GitHub often and just look at other open-source projects made from other fellow creators

I know that there are different styles of translation: a word-for-word translation, a thought-for-thought translation, and paraphrase with the goal of communicating ideas.

I guess what I'm asking, what are some reputable versions of each type and how were they translated in regards to those sources I mentioned above?

Are there versions within each translation style that are known to have flaws such as that they were done before we found the dead sea scrolls? Were these such versions amended later? The KJV and NKJV come to mind.

When studying the bible as an amateur, as a hobby, and as a Christian, would it be useful to have a version from each of the three translation styles? That's my end goal. I really love studying the bible, even though I'm a complete amateur at it.

I'm aware of the Samaritan version of the Masoretic text, but because I think most/all versions of the bible use the Masoretic text when translating so I'll leave asking about that for another day.

This is something I've been pondering for a little while - I wonder if any languages exist that support this, and indeed whether it's actually a viable concept.

Right now I work in a 'serverless' architecture, where our web application layer is built up of distributed functions executed in a cloud provider (AWS Lambda). In serverless applications, a process tends to be split over several small, asynchronously executed, separate programs.

As a contrived example: imagine that you had a function to validate an incoming HTTP message; a function to store it in a queue; a function to deduplicate the queue; a function to process the queue every night and send widgets to the customer.

Now, with AWS lambda at present, I could write this as a single program. I would compile one program that responds to each event along that lifecycle. I could use something like AWS Step Functions to describe the graph of execution, store that graph with my source code, and then I'd have a single place to describe the flow of the entire process.

But what would be interesting (to me) is if a programming language could take a single set of source files, or even one source file, and using an execution graph, output several compiled artefacts that were type-level guaranteed to work together. That could keep my artefacts really small, and let me do things like incremental releases (only updating the changed components).

If your compilation target was an intermediary language like JavaScript, you could have a lot of fun with this, I think. You could have a program that does some IO and can compile to a single Node server app that uses `async / await`. However, with hints about concurrency and execution, your compiler could output to separate lambdas speaking over events; or a piece of code that runs on the browser and server speaking over sockets - etc. etc.

I've never used Erlang or any BEAM languages but it sounds like this is close to that area of research - being able to model a program as a set of actors and then use that to be very opportunistic about deployments and artefacts.

Do languages / compilers like this exist?

Thank you 🙏

Struggling to come up with examples. If we hypothetically consider that the Bible is a work through which future works, texts, stories, language arose from, then what would be a technical, linguistic term for the Bible?

I’m trying to get a religious exemption to prove that my dietary restrictions at work are real. I was asked to cite religious sources that support my position. Does anyone have a specific reference to a quote in a book I could use?

I thought the r/devops subreddit might be interested in this project I just found!

Does anyone know of any good sources for German Meistersinger songs/texts?

I used to have this thing with the original transcripts of Greek mythology stories translated to English but I can't find it so I'm resorting to the internet, is Wikisource accurate? what website(s) should i use?

I have this strange issue. It only happens with Onenote App (Windows 10) in Microsoft 365 and not with Onenote for Windows 10.
I like to type in Arial font. (I even changed in File --> Options the default Font into Arial). But when I copy any text or Url Link from any other source (web) and paste it, the font changes and becomes Calibri.
I tried to Paste it as "Keep Text Only" so it pastes without formatting and still it puts it in Calibri font and not Arial as I want.
I have to select and change it manually to Arial each time which is annoying.

Do you know how to fix that?

I always thought the First Battle of Mag Tuired is briefly recounted in the Book of Invasions and in the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. But recently I've come across other texts, like Lady Gregory's book, Gods and Fighting Men, who purport to retell this story.

My question is - what is the actual canonical and detailed text of the first battle? Does it even exist? Is Lady Gregory simply embellishing and complementing what little is told of the first battle using her imagination, or is she drawing from existing sources?

Hi all, I have been running a 2e campaign for some friends for a couple of sessions to much success. The party is very unfamiliar with the setting and I've been sprinkling in some fluff to give favour in books or texts that group occasionally stumbles across this has been well received so far. In practice it's been a bit like the books you would find in crpgs.

Do you all know of any suggestions for books, folklore etc I could include?

Raccoons Rise Up will be a text based long term progressive resource management MMORPG. Players will be able to purchase structures with resources which in turn will generate more resources. Research from the tech tree will help speed up this process. Players will also be able to assign raccoons to jobs to make resource gathering slightly more interesting.

A wrapper called ENet-CSharp for ENet is being used for the netcode. A web server is being used to manage the user account authentication / creation. The game client is being made in the Godot C# engine. The game server acts as both a server and minecraft like console. A game launcher will eventually be created using Electron.

Currently I'm working on expanding on the "private text channel" netcode logic. Lots of bugs in this area, almost overwhelming at times.

Here are a list of things that need to be done eventually in order

1. Friend system / group text channels / chat settings

2. Tech tree / research logic

3. Concept of "Raccoon Jobs" e.g. Woodcutter / Miner / etc

4. Trading resources with other players

5. A 2D or 3D map where you can see other players civilizations

6. Fog System for the map

7. Caravans

8. The concept of battle units that players can train / purchase and PvP with other players

9. 3D environments of raccoons mining / wood cutting in the background instead of just seeing numbers and text?

All contributions are very much welcome, please contact me through Discord if you plan on contributing, my Discord is valk#9904. If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them.

Of special importance to me would be works that describe how the planetary deities were worshipped. I know there are poems about the gods, but I'd really love to know how a roman back then approached, say Venus for example, and what were the things they generally asked for and what did they offer to her in return? Since people in antiquity didn't differentiate between the planets and their gods, I always wondered if they sometimes directly looked up to the wandering stars while praying instead of always facing a statue representing the respective deities. The mystical, more esoteric aspects of the roman religion are the most important part for me. Texts that perhaps even describe how to achieve gnosis with certain gods. I would greatly appreciate and be very thankful if you could help someone out who is interested to learn about the roman religion on a very deep level.

I’m a few hundred pages into writing a physics textbook, and I recently was reminded by a student that speech-to-text software exists, and could definitely accelerate the wordy sections of writing.

My last experience with STT was around 2001, with “Dragon Naturally Speaking”, and its performance was abysmal, but I figure the technology is 10 or 100-fold times better 20 years later.

There are lots of sites that list all the software available, but not much in the way of objectively (as much as possible) assessing what’s best for my purpose.

I fully expect to have to proofread and fix the odd bit of punctuation, font styles, et cetera, but I’m mainly just looking for something that can spit out a whole bunch of plain text, and I’m going to guess that STT software can punctuate fairly accurately as well. I’d just be copy-pasting paragraphs here and there, as I’m writing the whole thing in LaTeX, and it would be like trying to dictate in a coding language.

I speak clearly in a fairly standard Canadian English accent, however the only feature I’d love is the ability to handle more specialized vocabulary. It’d be nice if words like “Hamiltonian”, “matrices”, or “orthogonal” were recognized. I’m willing to “train” the software, as I recall doing 20 years ago, but my expectations are pretty low in that regard.

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to reply!

Something that has bothered me over the past decade or so is how it's now becoming borderline dangerous to speak out against changes in adaptations of beloved texts. This is quadruply true of when those changes involve the "diversification" of the characters from the source material.

I don't know about everyone else, but when I spend a lot of time in a fictional world with a set of characters, I develop a very clear idea of what they look like, talk like, act like. If a character keeps all of their basic traits, but isn't how I pictured, I find it jarring and it takes me a while to come to terms with them. The greater those changes, the harder that becomes. Sometimes the changes are so great that it can't be done.

Now, sci fi and fantasy have a pretty clear problem of being hugely populated by white men -- mostly because white men do the majority of writing of sci fi and fantasy (you write about what you know -- and most of the audience of the time was young, white men) -- and even trailblazers like Anne McCaffrey and noted feminists like Ursula LeGuin wrote at a time when the audience expected a lot of male characters (although, LeGuin managed to buck this trend more than McCaffrey -- and in The Left Hand of Darkness made gender nearly moot). I get it. It's hard when so much of your source material is so white and so male. But, rather than change these texts, I feel that the answer is to embrace more stories written by writers of different ethnicities and genders, as well as those written in a more modern age of different social values . I don't view changing classics as a good solution. Let modern and diverse texts stand alongside the classics for comparison and reflection.

Now, people might ask me "why it matters to the story" if Salvor Hardin is a young, black woman instead of a middle-aged, cigar-chomping white guy. I could ask why it would matter if The Mona Lisa is a painting of a woman with a slight, knowing smile instead of a ripped Asian dude in a muscle shirt and a sleeve tattoo giving a thumbs-up. Oh.. but that slight smile is still there, and it's still called The Mona Lisa.

Now, as well as me believing that audience expectations based on decades of knowing characters is a reasonable thing to want to satisfy in a text, there's also the undeniable fact that race and gender changes of important characters also lead to story changes. You don't neatly transpose aging white dude Hardin over to young black girl Hardin without other elements cha

I've found some quite interesting concepts in what they say and I strongly suggest reading it especially for those who see NFTs being something that goes much beyond its uses in arts.

Hello everyone!

Two months ago, I have shared with you my open-source library designed for generating PDF documents in .NET applications. The way how QuestPDF differs from other libraries is simple: instead of relying on an HTML-to-PDF conversion, it implements its own layouting engine that renders the full content using the SkiaSharp library (a Skia port for .NET, used in Chrome, Android, Xamarin, etc.). I have written this layouting engine with full paging support in mind. That means the document content is aware of page size, can be moved to the next page (if there is not enough space) or even be split between pages (e.g. table rows) - there are many elements to help you implementing the desired paging behaviour. Additionally, you have full access to various simple elements (e.g. border, background, image, text, padding, etc.) that are essential building blocks of complex layouts. This way, you have a set of easy to learn and understand tools that are highly composable and predictable which reduces the time of development.

An example PDF invoice described in the Getting Started tutorial

Below I included an example code that generates the products table, visible on the image above. Please notice that the fluent API is easy to follow, as well as fully supports standard C# features (as it is just a normal C# code), e.g. conditions, formatting and loops. Please find more in the Getting Started tutorial.

container.Decoration(decoration =>
{
    // header
    decoration.Header().BorderBottom(1).Padding(5).Row(row => 
    {
        row.ConstantColumn(25).Text("#", headerStyle);
        row.RelativeColumn(3).Text("Product", headerStyle);
        row.RelativeColumn().AlignRight().Text("Unit price", headerStyle);
        row.RelativeColumn().AlignRight().Text("Quantity", headerStyle);
        row.RelativeColumn().AlignRight().Text("Total", headerStyle);
    });

    // content
    decoration
        .Content()
        .Stack(column =>
        {
            foreach (var item in Model.Items)
            {
                column
                .Item()
                .ShowEntire()

Typically the perspectives fall into a few different categories:

1. Traditional: The story of Adam and Eve happened as the Bible described it.

2. Poetic: The story of Adam and Eve is not literal but instead a poem or metaphor to explain the fall of man. Subscribers to this perspective typically note that Adam means “son of the red earth” (or simply man) and Eve means “to breathe or live”. Ultimately meaning God created- not man, but MEN. And breathed his life out onto them, rather than giving them a bride to accompany them, and we’ve misinterpreted the meaning of the story.

3. Hybrid: Adam and Eve were literal people, just not the first people. Which is why we find evidence of diverse early cultures. However Adam and Eve were the first to receive free will, acting almost like ambassadors of mankind. Until they ultimately sinned, causing all of mankind to fall.

4. Evolutionary: A newer model that incorporates evolution into the Adam and Eve story. Claiming that evolution took place over millions or billions of years, as described in numerous studies regarding biological science. Until the historical Adam and Eve came to their stage or evolution as men and women, too which God revealed himself to them and bestowed upon them free will to be spiritual representatives of humanity. Then after The Fall the rest of mankind finished evolving into a broken and sorrowful world.

5. Israel: The theory states that the events of genesis happen after the book of Exodus and that Adam is an illustration for the beginning of Israel rather than humanity.

These are just popular perspectives but not all perspectives. Let me know your thoughts.
