I've developed a lot of stuff for Fanucs with a similar setup, minus the cameras. A relatively small amount of the work is actually getting in the cell with the pendant and teaching the position registers. A large amount is structuring your programs, writing interprocess communication, setting up inter-machine communication, fault handling, zone exclusions, process monitoring, manual overrides, dry cycle controls, etc. etc. etc.

First, write the programs that set flags, work with IO, branch and jump, fault and recover, and so on. Stick in comments as appropriate that read eg. "Now move from PR1:Home to PR17:Infeed Magazine 2, approaching with the offsets from PR101".

We typically implement some sort of 'dry cycle' mode, where we don't actually check for part presence/energize vacuum generators/spool out wire/spray paint, so you can check for intermittent mechanical problems, loose wires or fasteners, etc. When starting development in this way, it's a sort of anhydrous or dessicated cycle, without any motion whatsoever!

When the robots finally arrive or when you actually go into the shop, only then should you need to move stuff. A benefit is also that you should have a much better idea of precisely where and in what sequence you need to move it, not just the RFQ's description of "the robot does some stuff and assembles the part".
I mean, I guess. On the other hand, if you have a niche side project (I have several in a rather niche language), then you become known in the community.

Most people's 'side projects' don't shine on their resume because the side project is just a replica of one hundred other projects that do the same thing. In order to be known for a side project, you have to make sure the audience is small enough for it to make a difference, but large enough that there is commercial interest.
I'm sure Erich Schmidt has access to resources not available to your friends. There is absolutely the potential for a tax angle to this application, perhaps involving creating business entities in Cyprus to avoid the IRS's reach. That is of course just my suspicion and I could be wrong, but I think my suspicions are reasonable enough to dispute the strength of your claims ("There is no tax dodge. There is no way to dodge...")
You still need to process those plants to mimic what the animal did (ie fermenting the grass to extract bioavailable protein and stripping out fibre).

Veggie (black bean/lentil) burgers can already be cheaper than meat. But the meat replacement (ie similar protein to meat) burgers are more expensive.

I'm not sure why mcdonalds would bother making a meat replacement burger, its fast food so they can just use flavouring to make it taste like meat without incurring the expense of adding protein. It probably will be cheap.

As a plus side their customers will still be starving for protein afterwards. Large fries please!

Please answer directly: If the “science” says that we need to social distance and have lockdowns to prevent the spread of the disease, how does attending a public Chinese new year parade in New York City help prevent the spread of the disease?

Seems like there’s a very obvious conflict there. Admit it.

Democrat politicians encouraged this. China was already in lockdown at that point. They were following the science, why wasn’t Nancy Pelosi? Why wasn’t the New York department of health?

Science is full complete horse crap since anytime after the 1960s. It is a profession that seems to collect the dishonest and egotistical. The only thing worse is when you mix in politicians from the Democrat party. And the RINOs.

Also fk right off with calling me “misinformed.”

And by the way, it causes me immense pain to know that there’s so many of you out there that are so damn blind and can’t read between the lines on anything. Pawns.

There’s to be no “healing process” you are a complete fool if you think the democrats want to “heal” with the republicans after they lost a dozen seats.
Inkjets will clog more in dry climates, which is why they are far more common in regions like SE Asia with high humidity.

You probably have clogged black nozzles, and photo mode uses the 3 colours to make black.

To add to all these good points, also the fact that vi/emacs isn't going away on the whim of some company that comes and goes. So the effort to learn these (and any long-lived open source components) is amortized over my lifetime, not the short lifetime of a commercial tool.

Whenever I change projects or jobs I know emacs will be there as efficient as always so I can concentrate on being productive instead of on learning yet another ephemeral IDE.
That would have to be the iPhone app:

> Q: Why is Slingbox being discontinued?

> A: We’ve had to make room for new innovative products so that we can continue to serve our customers in the best way possible.

That makes it sound like they have other products that are replacing this. Is that the case, or is this a case of extreme euphemism?
I'm really not following the logic here. Are they pointing at the jump in D vote share, and then pointing at the influx of Milwaukees ballots? Milwaukee is excessively blue (86% to Biden). Why wouldn't the vote share change drastically as that county came in? This is basic math. How does this point to fraud?

Also hilariously, they're basing their whole argument off of this apparent "trend" that they haven't supported of mail-in ballot share shifting from D to R... But then they provide an example of Georgia, where... that isn't at all the case... and then gloss over it. Laughably bad analysis.

Took 20 minutes to confirm the "trend" and immediately none of the following states follow the "trend": Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland --- aaaand I've stopped looking because this is silly.

Full disclosure, this was just a quick visual inspection of the data presented, plotting x='vote_share_dem' against 'timestamp'.
With business processes I rather meant things related to strategic decision making and so on and not domain modelling and I/O processes. Those are obviously related to engineering.

But the advice under the business category is rather generic and strategic, what to buy, what to focus on etc. I don't see how any of that is related to domain modelling, I/O etc.

Also I'm not an architect, I'm a programmer. I literally don't understand what an architect is as stated above, especially not when looking at this document.
I recently set up a pihole at home with the whole Covid situation and as soon as I noticed the donate link threw them £5 thinking "the least I can do is buy a London priced pub pint - I'm not exactly spending it elsewhere". I don't know why it's so different with software - I should really know better but even to this day my gut reaction is to, initially, balk at an app charging £5 - yet I'll walk into a pub (well, used to) and have no problem spending that and more on one beverage... I've since managed to snap out of that and will, if I think I'm going to enjoy it, spend the £1, £5, £20 or whatever it is within reason.

This may be partly due to seeing in my day job customer feedback which in answer to "what would stop you using <essentially their business account + invoicing + tax reporting>?" - "if you charged me money". We basically run for businesses and even that cohort to a non-trivial proportion isn't prepared to spend (<£10 monthly) on software. We have other avenues and mechanisms to work work around that but it's a little demoralising when you see it so black and white. Makes me feel like I personally should at least be less inactive in my supporting of projects I like or just buying an app or subscriptions. I think the whole industry needs a reality check on how much "free" really costs.
Internal advertising of their services is not "agressive rent-seeking".

Have you considered packaging this as a Chrome extension rather than an electron app? AFAICT this is about 80KB of uncompressed html+css+js, released as a colossal 192MB electron app. Sorry to sound all get-off-my-lawn but that seems a tad excessive for a note taker.
Islands don't really matter, but closed borders do. Europe has very different policies and rates of spread, but open borders mean that no country in the EU can eradicate Corona if the rest doesn't eradicate it at the same time. Case in point, Germany was at practically zero (around 1% positive tests with a 1% false positive rate) 6 weeks ago, currently it is lagging 3 weeks behind all its neighbors in the number of cases, rising exponentially.
Isn't the situation somewhat akin to what modern musicians face? i.e. very little money from selling music, but a lot of money from performances, merch, etc?

If I were hoping to make money off my OSS work, I would try to sell services related to the product. Consulting services, hosted instances, commercial forks, feature bounties, etc.

Complaining about compensation for OSS work is like musicians pining for the days where you could create an album and sit back while the money rolled in. You can vent your frustrations, but the world is what it is and complaining is only going to make you and your work less popular.
> the response of the city government was to deepen segregation by raising the bridges over the Chicago river, which serves as a boundary between the poor south/west and the rich north.

This is pretty silly. The highways were open between the north and south sides (I crossed the river the next day without issue); they were only isolating the hardest hit commercial districts to dissuade more damage. It wasn’t some ploy by our Black mayor to increase racial segregation.
Travel into islands is far harder than travel into cities in large land masses. You need to get a ticket on an airplane or a boat, which makes travel time a minimum of 1 hour usually and costs a whole bunch of money. This creates a natural barrier where people on islands don't interact with people on mainlands nearly as much.

Look into covid numbers and you'll notice cities even in the same country that are on an island of some sort have significantly less covid numbers, such as Hawaii or Vancouver Island in Canada.
Just use plain hard drives with spinning disks.*

Make backup, then disconnect, then use a fresh drive next time, keeping at least 1 extra drive offline on a shelf or in a safe deposit box if you're extra paranoid. Keeping the drive off-site also helps to insure against fire, natural disasters or theft. Rotate drives regularly to keep the off-site backup fresh and to spread the (minimal) wear across several drives. When used in this manner and stored correctly, a set of say 3 to 5 hard drives can be expected to last a _very_ long time.

* This is important, because solid state drives are not suited to long term offline storage, they can lose data surprisingly quickly if you leave them sitting on a shelf.
Got em!
In all fairness, I do agree with the sentiment behind your trolling though. That's why I made this a "mod" where the user provides the original text.

Keys to your startup’s success – Delay building a mobile app if you can
I am a pragmatist that is accustomed to the physical, mathematical and social constraints of the world. One big constraint is the average attention span of your target audience. Do you have time to care whether a guy designing/manufacturing that USB cable on your desk got compensated well? Or the one making your clothes? Or cleaning the corporate toilet? You know, unless you have sewed your shirt yourself, it was probably made a by a person in a less developed country earning about $1 per hour [0].

The thing is, we physically don't have time to look at every situation from every stakeholder's perspective. There are just not enough hours in the day. Like it or not, that's a pretty hard constraint and there's no better way around it than understanding marketing and product management.

So ultimately, it boils down to:

* Strategy A that gives you a 10% chance of outperforming your corporate salary and 90% chance of getting bored and getting back to your 9-to-5.

* Strategy B that gives you a 0.2% chance of changing the world, 49.9% chance of giving up and another 49.9% chance of seriously burning out and getting into depression. The actual world-changing chance is likely even lower. You can guesstimate it by dividing the number of Linus Tordvaldses by the number of Github users with 1 or more repository.

Mind you, strategy A requires a lot of trial-and-error while learning how to do business (and getting burned multiple times), while the strategy B is about just doing what you like do and hoping that it will somehow bring the desired outcome. So please, please, please, be honest with yourself about wanting to change the world vs. just wanting to keep is as a stress-free hobby vs getting face-in-the-mud while learning an orthogonal skillset.

Trump, and how the government's problem solving style needs to be improved
This also applies to using modern graphical text editor such as Sublime Text or VS Code.
Interesting discussion. Basically, some models of Philips Android/Smart TVs are implied to have had a DRM breech and Netflix looks to be capping streaming to all of them to 480p as a result.

What's worse than having a smart TV that spies on you and is complicit with BigMedia DRM? A smart TV that has lost its DRM keys, spies on you, and won't get a firmware update to let you get content better than 480p.

I'm not a Netflix customer for a reason.
I can tell everyone I use Signal for the privacy aspect without being specific about its contents.

I cannot reasonably believe that there's people actually trading on BTC out of its utility if they don't talk about it. Unless of course all that activity is fundamentally illegal, which is a definitely something I'm willing to entertain.
> You point this out as if it is some moral failing on the right.

It’s not a comment on conservative politics as a whole, it’s a reflection on my own past immaturity, and how I recognize it in others when I see it. And I’ve had 4 years to observe Trump’s tweets, Breitbart, alt-right, Qanon, Proud Boys, so if you want to convince me that there’s constructive, long-term thinking behind any of that, you’ll have to be a little more specific than “look harder”.
It's not about traveling. It's about staying as long as he wants to and whenever he wants to. American citizens are limited to staying 90 days (in any 180 day period) in the EU as tourists. An EU passport would allow him for example to take a 6-month vacation in France.

EDIT: The 90/180 rule is for the Schengen area, not the whole EU, and, yes, that includes Switzerland, which is not in the EU. Not sure what the rules are for the rest of the EU, but he probably cares about Schengen anyway.
What I was trying to say is: I think in the thread above people are talking about different things.

For the "danish mink mutation" - even if the exception to the rule - some of the above statements might not be true.
No, it won't. It will incentivize governments to help rich people from all over the world avoid taxes.

Why do we need a law? No one forced you to buy a Slingbox.

We shouldn’t automatically reach to government intervention to solve every one of our pet peeves.

I don’t buy random gadgets that require cloud support from no-name companies for precisely this reason. You’re free to do the same. Eternal support for your consumer electronics is not a fundamental human right.
I agree that the river is in many senses a symbolic boundary, but I think its symbolism is important, especially in the near vicinity of the Loop.

And while property crime and violent crime are separate to a degree, I think the city's response says a lot. My experience in Chicago is that the police are more interested in keeping crime contained than truly eliminating it.

another HTTP header that I recently came to know about is the "Expect" header. Basically used to send just the request without request body and send the body only after the server responds with HTTP status code 100.
The original slingboxes (Circa 2008/2009) ran locally, and could be exposed on your networks if you did the setup.

In 2013/2014, they changed the way that it was handled.

I have 4 Slingboxes -- one in Miami, one in Kentucky, one in Cincinnati, and one as a "backup," -- and am really kinda bummed by this decision.
But, that's literally what was being said above..?

Not when it's at the cost of a customer's rights. Between abusing the DMCA to restrict what ink cartridges can be used and actively changing a "free" ink program after advertising that it's for the lifetime of the printer.

I'm not really seeing the GraphQL code he presented as fundamentally different than serializers. I've used a similar pattern at several companies and one of the biggest pains is making sure you're lookups stay in-sync with the serializers to avoid N+1.

This is simply recognizing the fact that many serialization patterns do not work in a black box. They inherently rely a coordination with SQL queries to load necessary data.
Uhm, what? There are tons of ways to prevent data loss, none of them involves writing the data out to tapes and then back in again.

I've fought a number of resolver issues over the years, where, for various reasons, the application resolves differently from client tools, or client tools resolve differently from each other. Sometimes related to hosts file entries, but those are much easier to figure out than issues related to truncated replies related to EDNS or UDP vs TCP replies, or similar. (it's been awhile, so I forget details).
Then why aren’t pollsters and contact tracers doing this so none of miss those calls?
That looks neat - but I don't think it fits the PS1/N64 era very well at all. It seems more like that pixel art/Minecraft kinda feeling.

> The problem with municipal ISPs is that they are very likely to end up providing worse service and being more expensive than private options, but hiding the true cost by using tax money to subsidize the operation.

The private sector has pretty conclusively proven that in the absence of municipal competition, their offerings are expensive, and provide terrible service.

In fact, it has proven it so conclusively that people are clamoring for a public alternative.

There is zero reason to oppose unsubsidized, zero-margin municipal broadband.

There are some reasons to oppose subsidized, negative-margin municipal broadband, but if >50% of the electorate supports it, that's a pretty strong signal that its better than the private alternatives.
Also, lost popular vote both in 2016 and 2020. Also, clearly lost electoral college in 2020. Despite being incumbent which is an advantage in America.
