I suspect it's a generational gap.
When you give plasma (not whole blood) the nurses use a centrifuge machine that seems impossible: one tube goes from you to it (carrying whole blood), another tube goes from it back to you (carrying plasma depleted blood). The mechanism of Dale. A. Adams keeps the tubes from twisting. Search “antitwister mechanism patent” for a drawing of the mechanism. As for the principle behind the mechanism, see http://Antitwister.ariwatch.com for a PC program where you can adjust every variable imaginable.
I went down a few rabbit holes on the site - is this program also written in Basic?
You could, in principle, have a totally internal system, but with arms that grab and release the cable at intervals so that the looped portion can pass by them. You could arrange the timing so that electrical contact is never lost. But you are still making/breaking contact and it starts to lose some apparent advantages compared to a slip ring.
That's not to say it isn't still useful for some purposes, like maybe a radio antenna that isn't too impacted by a cable moving in front on occasion. But it doesn't eliminate all uses for a slip ring.
Thank you! I'm working on a robot with a very expensive slip ring, and need to send high fidelity data through it with shielding. I had no idea this was possible this will make things so much easier!
I found a related video you might find interesting.

I'm currently studying group theory and SO3 rotations (quaternions & matrix groups) and I'm also curious about the connection. I still have a lot to learn but I wouldn't be surprised if the reset rotation is unique, if we abstract away variation.
I mean, magit is not some perfect piece of software. Of course it has bugs, I just hit them quite a lot. The slowness is more annoying though. Sometimes it takes seconds to open magit after hitting C-x g
I've also had magit get stuck in a 100% CPU usage loop a couple times
I'm an enthusiast when it comes to [Vanilla] Emacs. I enjoy customizing my editor, jumping into the Lisp when I find an error, and contributing - though my own config is usually the problem.
This sounds like an opportunity to improve the day-to-day for developers!
Please report any verified bugs to Github. There are only 12 open issues, most of them enhancement requests. The maintainers are celebrated in the community for their diligence and attentive engagement, and I'm sure they'd love to help.
The interface is unique and takes a lot of getting used to. I did need to leverage my extensive experience with Git and Emacs to understand unexpected behaviour but the fault always lay with me.
Given the implications of bugs in such a critical part of a developer's workflow, can you be more specific?
I agree with the order, the Gaussian should come later I almost closed the article - glad I kept scrolling out of curiosity.
Also I felt like I had been primed to think about nickles and pennies as variables rather than coefficients due to the color scheme, so when I got to the food section I naturally expected to see the column picture first.
When I encountered the carb/protein matrix instead, I perceived it in the form:
[A][x], where the x is [milk bread].T
so I naturally perceived the matrix as a transformation and saw the food items as variables about to be "passed through" the matrix.
But another part of my brain immediately recognized the matrix as a dataset of feature vectors, [[milk].T [bread].T], yearning for y = f(W @ x).
I was never able to resolve this tension in my mind...
Might sound simple in theory, reality might get messy.
