Probably a Windows-based HMI (“human-machine interface”). I used to build sorting machines that use variants of the typical “industrial” tech stack, and the actual controllers are rarely (but not never!) Windows. But it’s common for the HMI

My conspiracy theory is that the umpires are making the show about them to demonstrate their value as entertainment. The tech can call every pitch right, but if umpires make themselves a part of the show, that's job security. And hones

Same here in Utah. No actual deaths I’m aware of, but lots of damaged vehicles that needed to get towed out of 4x4 tracks in the desert after Google sent them there.

I think the issue is that there was full transparency on pay (a fixed base rate plus a fixed percentage) and then it was changed without warning. I work for a salary, which is fully transparent in the sense that I know what my next paycheck

The allegations are originally from Bianca Lamblin. A quick-and-dirty summary is on Sartre's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre#Allegations_o... , and you can follow the citations back t

Yeah, I pretty strongly agree that it shouldn't be in commit messages. A big consideration for us was that we didn't want to get in the way of normal development, and Git is a core part of that loop. By making the release note a t

The reason I didn’t go with a ticket-based approach is that we don’t have a perfect 1-to-1 mapping of commits to tickets. The worry was that we would miss commits because they weren’t well-associated. Because the tool we made is web-based,

It stores it in a “branch” that’s totally separate from the main branch, kinda like git-notes. We push that branch to our git forge like normal, so there are copies of it all over the place, and we can make a CLI tool if we ever want to. It

We built an internal system that grabs our git history. For each commit you either enter a release note or mark it as not customer facing. It’s worked pretty well so far: each developer runs through their list writing down something, and a

And the people who are left are the ones who cannot leave. This is a pretty common pattern: there's a portion of the population that is mobile and can freely move around, and the rest of the population is stuck in place for one reason

By law, passenger trains have priority in the US. This was part of the deal when the current freight railroads were established: remember that the US railroads as they exist today are largely the outcome of a series of Federal actions in th

Almost everything can be modified or configured to run on another system, but it’s pretty common for RPi to be the default or best-tested platform.

It’s not a Monty Python thing. Some cheese is made in a wheel shape as part of the manufacturing process. If you buy some kinds of bulk cheese, you will get it in wheels. https://dibruno.com/whole-wheel-parmigiano-reggiano&#

Ender's Game is quite good, though the sequels get mixed reviews. You should be aware going in that the author really dislikes gay people. This doesn't come up much in Ender's Game, but it does tinge things and is a real them

It didn't really happen as much over the last 4 years. As they say, the deficit hawk is a seasonal bird.

It sucks that you've dealt with bad recruiters and bad HR. I hope you get to work with really good ones someday, because it can be incredible. One of the best things a former employer did was hire an in-house recruiter who was actually

I really like the way 1Password and MacOS work together for security [0]. Even if my laptop is unlocked, each 1Password interaction needs my fingerprint. That unlocks a secret stored in the Secure Enclave, which I trust. (Security is hard a

An out-of-band type specifier would be cool, though you still have to know the implicit schema implied by each type. In the system I work with, we standardized on objects that have a "type" key at the top level that contains a str

Yep, it’s a subset of JSON streaming (using Wikipedia’s definition [0], it’s the second major heading on that page). I like it because it preserves existing Unix tools like grep, but the other methods of streaming JSON have their own advant

I really like using line-delimited JSON [0] for stuff like this. If you're looking at a multi-GB JSON file, it's often made of a large number of individual objects (e.g. semi-structured JSON log data or transaction records). If yo

It seems unlikely. Most of them were either lost on US soil or lost along with military personnel who died. But the more convincing logic is: why would the US want to do that? The fewer other nations have nuclear weapons, the more power the

Most definitely it's hard to dig into the actual composition of air pollution. But "how much PM2.5 is in the air", while definitely crude, is still extremely useful. That said, decent sensors for PM concentration are already

Ginseng is an interesting one [0]. It can be farmed without too much trouble, but farmed ginseng has a more uniform, smoother appearance than wild ginseng. One of the major uses is in Chinese traditional medicine, where it's believed t

Wow, I didn’t realize how shallow that is! It would be super nice to have something like that for my space. I wonder why other manufacturers haven’t followed suit.

Heh, you’re not wrong. It was handy to see the outer couple of layers of template expansion, though, so I could know at least which library it came from. I’d be very interested in some way to adjust the displayed format to be different from
