I accidentally linked the wrong repo (it was original/unredacted with API keys, etc). The correct repo is: https://github.com/asfarley/vtc_opensource

I botched the open-sourcing, I intended to post this one: https://github.com/asfarley/vtc_opensource

I've updated the license to BSD 3-Clause and deleted the EULA.txt.

Nearly 100%, the other time is spent planning tests, discussing new features with users. I probably spend 90% of the time actually coding.

Honor, Symbols and War touches on the topic of how an event becomes symbolic.
I often find myself disagreeing with fact checkers. No, I don’t have a paper to support this. My disagreement is mostly based on careful reading of the position presented by fact-checkers.

But a high reading is a state that can exist. I don’t really see how formal methods would exclude a multiplication/unit error with respect to the displayed unit.

Hello to Audrey and James
I’m very happy to see FPGA emulation being picked up by a company who sells in larger volume. The boutique prices for NES FPGA emulation don’t really make sense to me.
The actual story is that there’s a minimum level of complexity involved in a tear-down of a machine used to process dairy.

Employees don’t get a bonus for doing the cleaning, so it’s in their interest to declare that the machine is broken.

Former McDonalds employees have explained this to me when I brought up this story.
