Interesting Discovery short video showing the fully automated Rotterdam port operation. It’s the largest seaport in Europe and 10th in world for cargo tonnage (was #1 between 1962 and 2004, since overtaken by Chinese ports) It's operated by <20 people onsite and works by: ▫️Driverless vehicles between ships and storage areas (each vehicle is 30-tonnes) ▫️Remote-controlled cranes for loading and unloading vessels ▫️Automated logistics systems for moving and stacking containers The dock is 42km long and moves ~500m tones of cargo a year. It has over 80,000 lipstick-sized transponders that help guide the vehicles with workers overseeing the operation in a control room (they work off of a “digital twin” of the dock created by dozens of sensors and camera). Rotterdam’s automated port took away traditional dock jobs but new ones are required including: ▫️Control room operators ▫️Technicians to repair and maintain automated vehicles, cranes and systems ▫️Data analysts to study and optimize port logistics The port also operates 24/7, which means more container throughput, leading to greater need for deliver drivers. *** 6min Discovery Vid: youtu.be/NULoelb7PzA?si… Good Wired article on Rotterdam automation process from 2019: wired.com/story/rotterda…

@davepl1968 I used it just last week in Windows 11 to format an SD card. I remember how awesome it was to have the quick format option instead of having to wait ages to format a 1.44 MB disk. 💾

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was. We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI. I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on. Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived. That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions! I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect. So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :) Follow me for more random code musings!

@jensenharris @migueldeicaza I only read the first paragraph of Miguel's tweet before reading your reply. Took me a minute to figure out that there are in fact no monkeys in Excel. Now I wish there were.

Friends, I installed Excel on VisionPro, but haven’t found a way of moving the cursor or selecting cells. Any pointers? Bloon game seems to have a similar issue, very pretty/volumetric, but how do you place your monkeys on the arena?

This is Bodie. He hopes everyone had a delightful #PrideMonth. If your pup celebrated by wearing rainbow or simply loves more than anything else, reply with a pic of them and help us create a megathread of support 🌈🐾

@sitereactor Glad you're ok. 🧔🏼+🔥=👴

Pro-tip: if the flames in your gasgrill goes out, don't open the lid and press the ignite button 😅 🔥🔥🔥 A ball of fire will kiss your face 🙈 Luckily I'm okay, but damn! My lips are burning and my beard partly melted 🙈

@drnturner_ @lisastevens2 @qikipedia I literally told someone that last week.

Danish is such a difficult language that Danish children learn to speak more slowly than children who speak other languages.

Really eye opening stuff about all the possible things that can go wrong with a service like Twitter.

Having a nostalgia trip watching @dkrasmusw talk about @Maersk Admiral and Beacons 😂 #cloudBrew

Excited to be at @CloudBrewConf this weekend. Keynote by @coolcsh. Perhaps there will be just as many session attendees for my talk at 14.45 about the @Maersk Compliance Beacons. 🙂

@mkristensen Adding water to the Nespresso machine when it is empty but has tried to make a cup anyway. How hard can it be to add a sensor, @Nespresso!?

Developers, what repetitive tasks would you like to eliminate during your regular workday?

@mkristensen Figuring out where the document or presentation or anything was saved, since the default is apparently not the Documents folder/quick link, but rather the root of the OneDrive folder.

@cinnamon_msft The @DopperBottle water bottle from @oredev, hoodie from @NDC_Conferences, socks from @intelligentconf. Also some of the backpacks from Build and TechEd.

Question for everyone, what is your favorite piece of swag that you've received from a conference?

@HP seriously?

@sitereactor Kunne desværre ikke deltage. Håber det var godt.

We are ready for #cloudburst Copenhagen #azugdk

@RobinDeVoh @KristianNetDev @DivineOps @deniseyu21 I hate when people just say Hi. Tell me what you need and the urgency instead of us doing the hi/hi dance. nohello.com #nohello

Fantastic panel on "Just" engineering culture with @deniseyu21 @michellebrush @v_hue_g @UberGeekGirl @jhscott @QConSF

@sitereactor When you find it let us know. Looks really cool.

Any of my followers know of a LED Strip that is able to turn on and off like this or how to archive this type of effect? 🤔 ⤵️

Brand new information (to me). You can open GitHub.dev in a new tab with >.

@ThomasVerner taught me about the Principle of Least Astonishment. It's an easy way of keeping your codebase simple and easy to understand. I try to instill it to my team members now.
