explanation: underground pipe systems are 1D graphs. adding time, the vertical (Y) axis starts from "now" and goes into the future. as the track is a loop, this graph is actually a cylinder, and a robot's mission is a series of line segments drawn on the surface. a waiting robot is a vertical line. moving at a constant speed is a diagonal line, and acceleration is a curved line. deconfliction simply becomes a puzzle.

robots in underground pipes provide many enjoyable opportunities for path optimization

I would like to wish everyone involved in the development of the United B737-700 infotainment system a bad day.

@macjshiggins I once had somebody board standby after me on a UA B737. Elbow on my controls; pointed this out. Apologies were made, I said "don't worry, United doesn't know how to design plane interiors" Offered a tour of Willis Tower. Business card, globe logo. "Cabin Systems Engineer"

@macjshiggins You mean you want to be able to rest your arm and not change the channel, turn off/on the tv, or change its brightness at the same time? Preposterous

How do you know your agent is still running after you close the lid? I became a bit obsessed with putting some RGB LEDs for a status indicator into the SD Card slot on my MacBook Pro. I never use that slot, so it's a perfect place.

@mov_axbx This only starts happening when I’m inactive. I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but I think the incentives are tough to ignore.

@macjshiggins it has street in the name and runs on the street so I fail to see what legal grounds the DPW can say it's not a street vehicle
