You might be able to set something up using a current clamp connected to an esp32, though it might have to go over a point where the wires are separated so possibly inside the machine. Might not be too hard depending on how you feel about o

Regardless of how the average person may feel about it on a surface level, I think it's absolutely critical that congress has so many lawyers elected. These people write laws, we need people who actually understand the way law works do

The XML abuse I've seen at work is truly horrifying. We use protobuf for most of our inter-service IPC, but for one particular team one of their customers demands the use of XML so that it can be run through some XSLT "security&qu

Paracetamol was coined in 1956, acetaminophen was coined in 1955[1]. The world pharmaceutical stage was a bit less globalized back then, so splits in naming like this just happened. They're both contractions of the full chemical name,

Considering it's just the desktop application being rendered to a canvas, I imagine not a ton of effort even needed to be put in and the UI framework is handling most of it.

External AI are banned, local or otherwise on-prem models are allowed. We're currently experimenting with some kind of llama instance running on one of our servers, but I personally don't use it much.

We use BitBucket where I work. Due to certain export regulations it's simpler for us to keep as many services as possible on-prem if they're going to contain any of our intellectual property, so BitBucket Server it is. There are o
