Is there any other meaning…?

Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a “miyano” I didn’t know what that was so I googled it… Entire first page of images was anime.
Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe…

12 axis??
vrek@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Well it had 3 bits from different directions that each moved in 4 axis(in/out, up/down, left right, spin) which could be used simultaneously and controlled independently.

Thats fucking wild
I bet programing that thing is like flying a spacecraft

Yeah it’s not something you program repeatedly though. You basically program once and hit a button and walk away and it will make hundreds to thousands of whatever.
My understanding was you basically programmed it in steps. So like on step 1 operation on one bit, on other bit at same time run this operation and on third bit run this operation at same time. Now when all of those operations are complete move to step 2 and repeat.
To make it more difficult there was also an automatic bar loader and a automatic bucket changer(it dumped the parts into buckets).
Also to make it run fast you tried to balance each axis operations in a each step so no axis was ever stopped waiting for the other operations but you also had to stop them periodically to control heat and not break the bits since due to the products we were not allowed to use coolant.
It took 3 senior engineers and 2 junior engineers 2 years to set it up to make 3 different products reliably. It was awesome when it eventually ran properly though.

Thank you, I thought I was alone in the outgroup for this one.

I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be “consensual non-consent”, which is a role play of sexual assault.

Well, usually all parties taking party in a Command and Conquer match have consented to do so but what happens then usually involves quite a bit of non-consent.
foofiepie@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ah nostalgia. Please tell me there’s a Linux port of this.

There’s openra.net which is an open source “all the Command and Conquer games” engine, which may be of interest?
illpillow@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Runs quite well with WINE using CnCnet.

Im addicted to general zero hour, you can buy the cnc collection on steam and it runs fine.
I wish EA wasn’t so shit at programming, it crashes if you minimize the window. Or has a mismatch if theres to many units on the ground.
Theres mods to fix issues, but i cant figure out how to make it work under wine.
EA also open sourced the code and people are working on fixing bugs
josephc@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Oh! That could be it!
SPACE!

It’s not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can’t give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.
If you’re doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.

Wow, I’ve never been more terrified of “CNC machines”…
kokesh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wtf?
Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Doesn’t have to be roleplay, just the agreement that no or stop doesn’t mean stop, and a safeword instead

The safe word is Flower, but they keep saying Flour. What gives?
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My partners into it. I’m into BDSM and it even threw me off for a while. I think of it like the most extreme version of a sub/ dom relationship with roleplay. It’s definitely something that requires a whole lot of forethought, communication, and most of all, CONSENT.

I had to learn to program CNC machines with punch tape back in the eighties, so not too far off.
