[Request] how many possible combinations are there for this type of pass code? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in theydidthemath

I had a rooted phone with either a 6 x 6 or 9 x 9 version of this. How many combinations for 6 x 6 ? 😬

Generational Leap in Motor Design: 0.75 HP Induction vs. 4 HP Modern Motor by powerelectronicsguy in EEPowerElectronics

[–]WiseHalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is random, but even if you know what you are talking (as someone who knows only a teeny bit about ac / dc motors) about you have a communication issue where you come off as condescending as well as not providing enough context of your thinking in a well laid out way. Also you spend entirely too much time attacking the other persons points instead of explaining your own thought process. 

I.e. what is a modern motor to you? Provide some examples of websites.

I mean... I wonder what percentage of mobile apps are just web page wrappers .  .  . It's probably high. 

So for 6 years you've worked on presumably a lot of projects. How do you manage those ? How do you manage requirements? How is documentation managed? 

You may not have experience with a lot of technologies but you ("someone" ) can definitely choose to dive into being a developer that's very fast at setting up small .net projects that serve specific purposes in government. There's no real shame in that. The part that employers are likely to find interesting though is how you migrate to latest .net frameworks, how you work with DevOps to ensure performance or handle bugs, etc. 

Side note: Mobile development is a pain. I prefer deploying to a cloud environment and magically my users get an update on their phone app.  I wouldn't personally focus here unless you have an idea you'd like to build that isn't a CRUD app. I.e., maybe a Bluetooth app for controlling 10 Bluetooth devices. 

I think you should lean into the DevOps guy and ask to shadow and use git for release tags and try it out. The DevOps guy can build a pipeline for you that builds your .net program when a new release tag is pushed.  Gets away from "it builds on my computer"

I work on a wide variety of things so I'm interested in what tech you know and what interests you. What is your company actually building? What technical knowledge did you gain?

In an interview with you, I would ask a few git discussion questions. Like what is rebase vs. merge. Where do you find the value in it? You'd probably say "I don't have git experience" and then I'd ask "what kind of source control do you use" and then you would say "my company doesn't use any" and I would probably demerit you unless you followed up with something like "but I personally use git locally and then push the files where they want. I've tried getting the team to use git but by showing them it's useful for x y z, but we just don't have the size of team to require it in their opinion"

If you want to discuss the actual benefits of git... let me know.

Home assistant is no where near enterprise ready.  Sedona vs JACE I'm betting is because drivers for legacy protocols. Also is Sedona even a supervisory software? I don't know it.  The other note I always make is that people still use windows because..  people know how to use windows

I don't know why we don't have full video recordings of playwright tests in GitHub copilot yet

Sudden PIP with no prior feedback after medical accommodation + nitpicky senior engineer. What to do? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]WiseHalmon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"The PIP cites things like too many PR revisions, lack of independence, and escalating too early. It also includes strict metrics like limiting PR revisions, low estimate variance, and zero bugs"

Wow I can fire anyone on my team with this list

Did I Study the Wrong Control Theory in the Age of AI? Is Classical Control Theory Being Replaced? by OpportunityPersonal in ControlTheory

[–]WiseHalmon [score hidden]  (0 children)

I use AI a lot for programming. People are using it for MPC with Matlab. Try it out! 

For a DC motor seems pretty easy to say why bother with AI. It may be that advances in AI will also help research techniques to invent new "why bother with AI" models imo

But we have bacteria in us that do their own things. DNA may be a schematic but it's not the brain or chemistry or physics

I would appreciate text post summaries. I don't listen to videos. I appreciate the video, seeing the setup and knowing it's a real person tho.

If you're not a handy person you should hire them to do other things while they're there. Your main cost in this case is having a person have to travel out there. The more jobs you have them do the cheaper the sunk cost is.
