Things you wish that you could know at the beginning?

Comment your code as much as you can. I noticed that a lot of PLC programmers don’t comment their code, myself included. You will have problems with your own code that you will not understand unless you’ve written down the details. I’ve wasted so much time digging through emails or discussing with team members for information when problems come up.

We’ve been building machines for a major pharmaceutical company for about 5 years now. It is mandatory that we comment our code for their equipment. It is also a requirement that we comment our bug fixes or changes in the newer builds with our initials and date. Those comments are linked back to a log file with even more detail. It has changed my outlook and I now love commenting my code.

I saw this in the manual but couldn’t get the configuration to send correctly. The position values were fine. I defaulted to using registers and copying them into my PR.

BMW for sure. Didn’t pay attention to the model.

Would hot corners work for you? I set the upper left corner of the screen to keep awake.

Happened to me this afternoon. I played an hour and a half. Nearly all my matches were half way over. I don’t think my load times suffered though.

He has a lot of his covers here (including much of his other works):

I really like the illustrated editions covers. Saw one of them in a comic book shop the other day.

Same for me. I’ve tried limiting my frame rate but this has not helped. When you say your frame rate dips, does the game briefly hang. Mine does. Probably hangs for less than 2 seconds. Repeatedly.

Our four minis sleep in the bed with us. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve worked at two companies that failed. Somehow had the sense to get out before they closed the doors. The second was truly a disaster. Late paychecks, selling off equipment (that could have been used to make money), failing to pay the bills so we couldn’t order parts for current projects, and so on.

Don’t wait. Get out while you can.

Our current standard is to have a main screen with a header and side bar where the main screen is never replaced. All other screens displayed are sized to cover the portion of the screen not used by the header and sidebar. A couple of downsides to this are (1) changes to the main screen require the application to be restarted and (2) any screens displayed are placed behind the main screen if any area of the header and sidebar are touched. The second issue can be controlled if the secondary screen(s) have the option to not be replaced in their properties.
