Much much smaller scale but we did a 'Salem Witch Trails' tour and it was a grey dreary autumn day and I felt it complimented the story.

With CSS and JS Libraries I can create a 'good' looking and usable web interface in minutes.
Re:Negative Two-Thousand Lines of Code on Wednesday June 25, 2025 @09:11PM (#44383334)
In an old ops role we had a metric called ticket touches. One of my workmates had almost double of everyone else but only for that metric. We had a look and it was due to how he wrote notes in tickets instead of putting all his findings in a comment he would do it incrementally as he went along. Neither of these ways were wrong it just inflated that stat for him.
All gone :( let us know when you have more stock please.

Something I've considered for a while, it's a field of complementary skills but a different mindset. I'm not sure I want to work in the world of compliance reporting and audits.
Myself and my 6yo son watch a youtube channel Real Civil Engineer as he plays cool games like this. We saw the Ballionaire video and instantly got it we play it a lot.
In Finland schools teach media literacy maybe that's a start.
Finally someone using GIS data for the great good of humanity.

Funerals aren't for the one who passed they're for the ones left behind. Be there for the ones left behind and remember you are one of the ones left behind.

Re:G1 AR Glasses on Monday July 22, 2024 @12:42AM (#41030984)
When Google glass was announced we proposed a POC for our field and datacentre folk (Telco industry). Lack of availability killed it off as we were in Australia and never made the cut for trial. The ability to feed information to them while they can use both hands, not have a laptop balanced somewhere or not be on the phone was invaluable in theory. I'm hopeful this sort of thing can become what it has potential to but I feel it will be undercooked and die off.
I'd assume the slower traffic and more people in the area would bump up pollution a bit.

Formula 1 is aiming to be carbon neutral by 2030 and engines from 2026 will be run on sustainable (ethanol based) fuels. The fleet of trucks to cart them around Europe also now run on biodiesel.

Normal NIMBY stuff we see every year at the Melbourne GP too. I'm all for their right to protest but they're not really selling me much on their subject choice.

You guys haven't been great at sharing the Bledisloe Cup with us Aussies.

That said also geoblocked here in Australia.

Re:Honda's Hidden Resonators Keep Tire Noise to a Minimum on Wednesday June 12, 2024 @08:30PM (#40664677)
NVH is a big contributor to perception of quality in the car world. This is a very elegant solution to a problem that probably wasn't all that high on the list.
Outside of all the security aspects which look to be handled quite well on the surface I do enjoy that the client mainframe architecture is still a staple of computing.

2 things it's a marketing exercise but it's also R&D an actual test use case for high speed precision motors/controllers. I can imagine this video is almost nsfw for folk building industrial machines.
Haha we had one roll of wire and it was 1am so we made do, I would have much preferred something a little more suitable. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
Re:Ask HN: What was your most humbling learning moment? on Monday June 03, 2024 @02:57AM (#40560039)
I had a colleague who was old school and loved optimising, everything he reviewed come back with tiny changes that would save fractions of a ms. His nemesis was a guy who was arguably the best coder I have ever worked with. Things come to a head in one meeting and old school said if we did things his way our code would run quicker and the response was legendary 'If we coded like you it'd run quicker because most of the functionality would be still in the backlog.' I still think about that when it comes to optimisation.

Awesome info cheers I have a feeling my 6yo will have a vivofit jr 2 in a few days.
I once rewired a racecar engine loom with red 18gauge wire and used different colour heatshrink to differentiate power, ground, signal etc.. also happy to answer any questions.

Gamifying fitness and activity I really like. The rest is something I don't think we need.
Such a great idea, I have always wondered how much knowledge we have destroyed surely we could've learned a lot from a culture that has been around for 60k years.
Yes it is a cultural practice in many indigenous aussie communities.

WP is the perfect tool for 95% of the job with the last 5% of tweaking being incredibly frustrating. I've used it extensively and it's longevity is a testament to its usefulness may it be around for another 21yrs.

A similar technique is just keyword flooding your footer in white text. A friend did this and got a remarkable hit rate for interview requests.
