@REAS > Ben refused financial resources multiple times ... was offered direct payment and ... a budget to hire people. I don't understand this or how it refutes Ben's points. Ben is just a board member and not part of the foundation. Shouldn't it be the *foundation* hiring developers?

The Foundation is actively and financially supporting development for Processing and p5.js and related projects. Ben refused financial resources multiple times and never articulated an alternative plan. He was offered direct payment and he was offered a budget to hire people. This whole time he was a board member of the Foundation, he was the President; he had an equal stake in decision making. After he left the board and after a few months for all of us to cool off, he was again offered financial support for Processing.

Earlier this week, Ben Fry wrote a personal thread about his views on Processing and the Processing Foundation, saying that he left the Foundation because he disagreed with its direction. I’m clarifying that I’m aligned with the Processing Foundation, my vision of Processing and the Processing Foundation are the same.

@laurenleemack @auriea @p5xjs What does safety, sex, gender, and race have to do with allegations of funding misappropriation, especially when you claim someone is lying? I'm trying to understand the situation and this type of response actually feels quite exclusionary.

@auriea @p5xjs For my own safety and the safety of the other women and people of color involved in these projects, I can’t engage with his lies here on twitter. I believe the work and values of @p5xjs and the processing foundation are clear and people can form their own conclusions.

sometimes i think about how @p5xjs, used by so many white men to achieve financial success and recognition, was created and led by women/femme BIPOC artists based on core values of inclusion and access p5js.org/community

@MerlinBirdID I'm looking to setup a local automated bird ID system. (I will write the software and develop the hardware.) Is there a way to use the detection that Merlin ID does outside rhe app? What is the difference between Merlin and BirdNet? Thank you!

@hackaudio Thank you!

@bmitc_ The book uses the core MATLAB library and the Signal Processing Toolbox

@hackaudio What MATLAB toolboxes are required for going through the Hack Audio book? MATLAB Home users need to purchase the toolboxes individually. Thank you! See here: mathworks.com/store/link/pro…

@bostoncalling I was actually considering these ticket levels, but those views are laughable for $1,000+ per ticket. It basically makes the tickets a food/drink event with some music in the background.

With Platinum, not only do you get these views but also: - All-inclusive culinary offerings - A full, specially priced bar with beer, wine, and craft cocktails - A daily gifting suite - So much more Limited Platinum 3-Day tickets are STILL available: bostoncalling.com/tickets/

@FogleBird Thank you so much! (Sorry for the delay.) I haven't seen it lately, but I am on the lookout!

@bmitc_ Brown Creeper? White-breasted Nuthatch?

@FogleBird I am starting to try to identify birds in my New England yard. We have a small bird that spirals up and down our oak tree looking for bugs. It's a surprisingly consistent spiral, too. Do you what species this might be?

@BigX_ Thank you! I appreciate that!

@bmitc_ This is excellent.

"Symbolic Expressions in F#" #fsharp bmitc.me/articles/symbo… The inaugural article on my new site. Releasing this for #FsAdvent. I am hoping to release more long-form content and have several such articles in work. It isn't perfect, but I'm glad to get something out there.

@sforkmann It's literally just the note F# that someone replies as a literal response to a sound and question of "what is that?".

There is #fsharp in the latest Picard episode. #loveit

@mattpocockuk I got an LG DualUp. It’s a vertical monitor done right.

Folks who use a vertical monitor - especially folks who ONLY use a vertical monitory - what benefits do you experience?

@lloydjatkinson I can also update the article if there’s more questions or somewhere specific that you feel could be better clarified! Totally willing and would actually prefer to have some deficiencies in exposition pointed out.

@bmitc_ Impressive! Don't full understand though. Is it essentially a DSL modelled in F# via composing functions?

@lloydjatkinson Hi! Yes, it is basically a DSL for symbolically expressing single-variable functions that can then be manipulated by F# programs. When evaluating the expressions, it defers to F#’s built-in numeric functions and operators. Does that help?
