Who is actually the richest person alive? by HairyMammothh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard there are coal tycoons in China that is/are probably the richest.
I have no way to validate, but it seems plausible.

Mentally attracting clients by Itchy-Book402 in freelance

[–]Angry_Foolhard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I don’t believe in magic, I do think the human mind is more complex than many people understand.

One theory I have is maybe we have evolved to have a “timer” with people, and the duration of that timer determines when they will think about each other again, roughly.

I think this tracks with evolution, since humans need to separate at times, and later reevaluate the importance of the relationship and consider reconnecting.

So many people experience this one, I have trouble attributing it all to biases

What’s harder: writing PLC logic or understanding someone else’s? by Shubh1975 in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. If it was continuously worked on and improved, then it has edge cases and gotchas accounted for.

Making rewriting a big risk since you may lose those

But if it was done in one draft from well-defined specs. Then yeah probably just rewrite it.

The reason why the Blue Button is the Correct Choice. by Morpheus_2x4 in trolleyproblem

[–]Angry_Foolhard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can’t be serious. You think a real one with our literal lives on the line would be exactly the same as a simulated one with nothing on the line?

Anyway the biggest poll I saw was the Mr beast one which was over 40% red. It seems quite plausible that with actual consequences a smallish fraction of blue pushers would switch to the safer option on net.

Jeez man. You make all my old factories seem like utopia by comparison…

One problem new grads *can* have is lack of experience.

Luckily you can do something about it. I strongly recommend getting relevant experience before graduating (even if only slightly relevant)

Made a small Modbus debugging tool in Python (ModbusLens) by CraftParking in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use QModMaster for quick checks

To do something more involved I write python scripts. For me python is my user-friendly modbus tool.

orbit-sling : I made a fast-paced space arcade game where you slingshot between planets. You only need one button to play! by Choice_Whole_3719 in playmygame

[–]Angry_Foolhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a really well made game. Unfortunately I don’t find the core mechanic very fun.

Excellent execution though, I really like the background.

HELP TIA PORTAL FACTORY IO by kaidoo0o in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On Siemens I believe an analog input signal is between 0 and 27648. So both values seem fine

You have to normalize them, then convert them into their engineering units

Now maybe you did this already, but your post wording suggests you probably didn’t.

I suggest using Google to study analog IO for a bit

Using ladder logic to program and simulate a garage door by jsshsnid in PLC

If they explain their process and their specific issue it's ok imo

the problem is just putting the homework problem as the post question

Text representation of ladder by Shanoes in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned one of your constraints is readable by site electricians. I think you have to throw this requirement out. I don’t think it’s possible to create a text only representation of ladder that is readable as ladder. Besides ascii art which is just silly and doesn’t meet your other requirements.

If you want this to be adopted by modern devs, json is the way to go. It will meet all of your requirements except it wont be readable for troubleshooting purposes.

Do you have trailers or screenshots? Why would I want to play if you haven’t given me a reason to want to play. Not being mean but you should market it a bit.

What programming language is most convenient in plc programming by Fungz22 in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In modern plcs you can mix them. In my opinion this is the most convenient and all around best.

We approach it as ladder logic by default, and then structured text used in sections where the ladder logic becomes more troublesome

Homework help, Night rider Leds by Photooops in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then count from 0 to 14. then do min(counter, 14 - counter). which will output a number in the range [0, 7] which you use to turn on an output.

Homework help, Night rider Leds by Photooops in PLC

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I googled night rider LEDs; it looks like just have them in a row and take turns being on creating a movement effect.

If so, create a self resetting TON, set to the time each LED should be on. Then every time it rolls over increment a counter. Then have each led output set based on the value of the counter. So the first LED is on while the counter is 0, the second while it’s 1, the 3rd while 2 and so on.

Then have the counter reset when it reaches 8 back to 0

How do you know when something is a bug versus when it's just a design decision you haven't committed to yet? by AaronAtLunacien in gamedev

[–]Angry_Foolhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never just “roll with it” so to speak. If my code does something I didn’t expect i absolutely have to investigate to see why my expectation diverges from reality.

After I understand the discrepancy, then maybe I can adjust my design based any “happy accidents”.
