hey autodesk how do I move this component?

autodesk: well the component knows where it is at all times. it knows this because it knows where it isn't. by subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

thanks, great, really helps

@sarahzedig every couple years some government somewhere does a pilot program which shows universal benefits are cheaper, more effective at reducing poverty, and do not lead to the mass quitting the "nobody wants to work anymore!!!" crybabies assure us is inevitable. Everyone makes positive murmurs about it for a couple months, the articles get published, and then it's never brought up by the government ever again.

today i have been writing a program that reads a midi file. as is typical for me, i decided to write my own parser.

so i've been consulting the “standard midi files specification” and “midi 1.0 detailed specification”, neither of which i had ever read before. it's been pretty fun! they're written in a refreshingly informal and thoughtful style that makes the purpose and form of everything clear. the protocol and file format are remarkably well-designed… very efficient encodings for example
