It's actually making me mad how close this was to my onboarding experience when I first started working with PLCs.

The test setup especially. Having to create this complex pseudo machine in order to make a preliminary proof of concept, only to find my IO block poached off my desk the next morning because someone else needed one.

Also, fuck having to deal with stl and ladder logic, if the industry minded towards more common languages and frameworks, you wouldn't need to have mechanical engineers learning plc programming, you could have actual developers working on it.

Every second that I had to spend on software like tia portal drove me further and further away from industrial automation

Lemmy has 50 thousand users and hosts mostly text and static images. YouTube has 2.7 billion users and hosts mostly high quality video. Pretending it's even remotely the same is pointless.

Not trying to be pedantic, but did you mean 2023?

Glass cockpit is a specific term for flight decks that have replaced analog gauges with digital gauges and screens.

Pilots use the windows all of the time. They use it to look for traffic and for vfr approaches.

Why stop there? No PE no engineer.

You can arbitrarily gatekeep the title all you want, but the reality is that engineering is a group of concepts and ideologies that can be applied to many disciplines in many ways.

Just because the person doing the engineering doesn't meet your personal standards doesn't mean engineering isn't being accomplished.

There is nothing about the engineering process that requires a degree.

All that being said. A professional engineer is an actual controlled title. (You can't sign documents as a PE without getting the license, just like an attorney (JD) or doctor (MD)) but far and away most engineers, do not have this title, because most engineering jobs and tasks don't require it.

Finally, (in most states) you can work with no degree under a PE for four years, pass the FE and PE, get your title and build a bridge. So as far as the most stringent title goes, it still doesn't actually require a degree.

You are insufferable.

Inspection buy offs are an industry term related to getting an inspectors approval on work accomplished, sorry I shouldn't have used it since it doesn't really translate.

So Alaska required more inspector intervention than other airlines I worked on.

We use the term 'selling' and 'buying' to refer to presenting the work and demonstrating that it is airworthy (before we go to lunch, let's try to sell this to inspection, or, I won't buy that until you verify that it is torqued properly)

Think of it like you saying you cleaned your room, and your parents going 'i don't buy that'.

It has nothing to do with money.

It's unlikely that the plug door came off for maintenance in the first three months of the plane's life.

I used to do maintenance (specifically on Alaska 37s) at an mro as an A&P. I worked on Alaska planes for about 5 years and compared to other airlines that I worked on, Alaska was almost always conforming to higher standards, they required more inspection buy offs, and were more likely to replace parts that technically were airworthy.

Also after Alaska had their jackscrew run-in, they overhauled their maintenance program and effectively handed it off to the FAA.

I agree that the problem is likely not with engineering, my opinion is that it lies with manufacturing and QC at Boeing though.

The key for me is the gpt can give you a pointed response to your broad question and then you can further research the now broken down problem.

For example, i may ask gpt: is there a tool that can translate knex style sql queries into what the queries that actually gets executed?

And then got responds with info about how to do that and I can then Google the specific things it responds with.

Totk felt like Nintendo's way to recap costs on botw. It's almost the exact same game.

I felt this way about God of war as well

Portal surfaces can move. By nature everything is moving, we just happen to be in the same frame of reference.

Regardless, here is a video of a portal on a moving surface from portal 2. https://youtu.be/OrAHvenjZpA?si=VY5dRvUP8_LPgOPO (around the 1 minute mark)

Additionally shooting a portal on the moon also demonstrates that movement is allowed (since the moon is in a non synchronous orbit)

Well, the total user base here is in the tens of thousands, even assuming there was even 100% agreement on that, that still amounts to less Netflix subscribers cancelling than they have in a single small town in the us.

I think people here (and reddit and other social media) forget that most people just kind of do their thing and don't make posts online about this stuff.

This video does a great job explaining how it works.

It has to do with system calls for stopping the disc that multi disc games would use.

Edit: I'm a dummy and didn't realize this video was posted in the op.

Congrats, you came to the same conclusion as the text in the image.

+1 on sims, with so many different peripherals as well as third party software like simhub, even if a base game works on Linux, it effectively doesn't since there is so much integration needed

And random social media text posts need to be taken with a cargo ship's load worth of salt.

I'm willing to bet the adoption rate of ota recalls is way higher since you don't have to a) be informed of the recall and b) go anywhere or do anything to get it, and c) dont have to hassle with cinvincing a dealership to give you a rental if the recall work takes a long time.

Today you learned that the majority of people don't live in the middle of nowhere?

Of course they don't, by definition, if a bunch of people lived there, it wouldn't be the middle of nowhere.

Cpus won't be able to handle the interrupts from speeds that high.
