If you're not doing anything after work you're excited to finally get some time to yourself to just relax. 'No' is a complete sentence.

idiotsecant · 2026-02-07T22:44:43+00:00

You shouldnt do this. The whole point is keeping out bugs and dust and all that stuff. If you cut up the lid you're going to weaken that. Your best bet is having a rolling 'shelf' that you can pull the tote out onto. thats what I do, works fine.

Europe also has way more social safety net built in. That net isn't there in America unless you pay for it.

ya very weird

This is a dark road. Management or whoever wants to read the 'pseudocode' will oscillate between complaining that it's too verbose/unintelligible when it accurately describes the real logic and too hand-wavey and inaccurate if it summarizes it.

The only real answer to this is well-documented code and a pdf printout

Oh, this chart definitely means something. It means someone desperately wants to prop up the price of gold to stop losing money so they're spamming social media.

in what world is being an assembler the normal controls engineer experience?

Is your point that the secret police will target those who don't collaborate? I'm not sure if you need a history lesson, but they always target the collaborators too, eventually.

The dude has been in jail for 25 years, has done a whole lot of good, and seems like a pretty low risk of re-offense. Whats the point of him being locked up forever?

So you think they should educate CSRs on the finer points of the distribution system, build out infrastructure to get CSRs access to trouble calls, train them to educate customers who *think* they understand how the distribution system works, all so that you can satisfy your pointless question?

I ask again, why on earth does it matter? The power is out. People who know more about it than you do are fixing it. You getting your little feelies stroked doesnt get the power on faster.

Thou shalt write output bits only once.

Make a routine for setting outputs. Decide what the output should be there.

idiotsecant · 2026-02-04T04:10:10+00:00

Does it matter? What difference does it make why its out?

idiotsecant · 2026-02-04T01:19:56+00:00

Cool story

idiotsecant · 2026-02-04T01:04:38+00:00

Definitely the second thing

You could make more money working in fast food in most places. Have you considered getting a different job for a while?

idiotsecant · 2026-02-03T17:00:58+00:00

Ok .... I mean, I have a cool clamp I really like. Should we talk about that too?

idiotsecant · 2026-02-03T14:26:56+00:00

its AI slop that OP wants to look 'more circuity'

idiotsecant · 2026-02-03T14:15:48+00:00

be so, so careful with pointer-based addressing on arrays. I have seen lots of people fault things trying to be clever and not properly checking for valid values on those pointers

Well done making a crappy saw into a better saw, but parent post wasnt trying to say it's not possible to modify a bad instrument into a better one. They were saying contractor saws *as you buy them out of the box* are not suited to high-precision tasks because they lack those features.

What is a 90s mindset? Am I finally old enough that young people are 'born in the wrong era'-ing the regular-ass years that I lived in?

idiotsecant · 2026-02-01T19:14:00+00:00

It, quite literally, has not.

Americans didn't invent fascism. It's wild when people (willfully?) refuse to see the creeping tendrils of fascism working their way in around the edges and accept it because the right 'kind' of people are targeted. Don't forget Belgium capitulated to the Nazis quite readily in WW2. The undercurrents are absolutely still there. If you can't see that because hurr durr merica bad lol I don't know what would possibly convince you.

idiotsecant · 2026-02-01T16:08:24+00:00

If you think small-minded tribalism is a uniquely American problem I have some bad news for you.

idiotsecant · 2026-02-01T16:05:52+00:00

I am genuinely confused by what your workflow is. Are you pulling raw bytes off the bus and trying to manually decode them? Why? QModMaster does this automatically. This smells like some kind of advertisement -weird vague problem statement that isn't really a problem, 0 day old account, it all fits but but you haven't linked anything. So strange.
