sigh, my original post said x dot com instead of twitter dot com... bastard revisionists

x.com now instead of twitter.com? Nope. fuck off.

@EshlemanMatthew but there is Rust!

No microcontrollers or software to be had.

@HumanProgress @EshlemanMatthew A good example of when a graph should have a log-scale axis.

🕯️William Nordhaus estimates that our Paleolithic ancestors had to work for 58 hours to create 1,000 lumen-hours of light. In 1800, it took 5.4 hours, in 1900, 13 minutes, and by 1992, just half a second of labor. Read more about this trend: humanprogress.org/trends/lightin…

@Nothke @BlarghamelJones @supahvee1234 because that's faster /s

@BlarghamelJones @supahvee1234 Waaaait, I understand optimizing out while, but why the hell does it fall through the end of scope???

#cpp russian roulette

I don't want to speak on a medium called "X".

Give us back the goddamn bird logo! #enshittification

Maybe we should just call it artificial hallucination.

@SD9524244316264 Who's Max Plank?

The 6502 was the first commercially available microprocessor and its development is a fascinating story. The 6502 was first designed by Max Plank in the early 1960s, but it wasn't until 1971 that it saw commercial release. embeddedrelated.com/showarticle/14…

@EshlemanMatthew And it's best in source code to stick to ASCII.

Unless the audience has the exact same background as you, avoid acronyms. By the way -- your audience never has the exact same background as you. Therefore, avoid acronyms. Unless your goal is to obscure your communications. If so: how trendy of you!

@EshlemanMatthew There is no right answer in computer languages. At least we should be grateful that Visual BASIC is no longer Microsoft's shiny metal spectacle of choice.

Wait, we added a type system on top of a dynamic typed language? (typescript, javascript). Doesn't that tell us something? Especially if server-side code. Just use C# (or Java or ...) and skip the hacks.

sad... Amprobe discontinued their AM-140-A (excellent specs for a decent price) amprobe.com/product/am-140…

@EshlemanMatthew Nothing like making engineering staff have to fill out a form to obtain a special administrator login so they can install software.

Random advice: From day one prepare to have separate IT domains/functions/rules/policy for: * Marketing/Sales/Business * Factory/Refurb * Training * Engineering Please, for the love all that is good, do not enforce crazy global IT rules on the engineering department.

@kjzzphoenix @SRPconnect @SRPconnect how far down the Salt and Gila rivers is the released water traveling? Has it made it all the way down to the Colorado River?
