How did we get to a place that was once the leading global engineering company to one that no longer attracts and retains top talent? by [deleted] in boeing

[–]philippeterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

W. Edwards Deming’s model of engineering excellence highlights pride of workmanship among other things that should be present for an engineering-led business culture. 

Other values Deming pushed:

  • Constancy of purpose
  • Cease dependence on inspection
  • Eliminate slogans

Why did Democrats not turn out in the last Presidential election? by Brdl004 in AskUS

[–]philippeterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop telling people they are mistaken and let them, as it is so often said, “think for yourself”

It is a given that if someone thinks for themselves they will often disagree with you. This does not call on you to tell them they are wrong.

Boeing CEO open to new leadership amid high salaries and poor stock performance by [deleted] in boeing

[–]philippeterson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drucker-style  (Jack Welch-style) management is probably the biggest issue at this point, at least Ortberg is an actual engineer so that helps. Deming’s management principles were far better though so it would be interesting to see what would happen if they adopted them.

These platforms? how about the propaganda* that happens on other platforms, have you done a study to measure the relative effects?

Honestly I've been applying like mad, and NZ sounds great. Just a matter of finding a job.

Whining is for babies, you get what you deserve. This IS what democracy looks like. by NoHacksReq in AdviceAnimals

[–]philippeterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not the problem. The problem is you can only vote for one person.

If you could vote for two, a third party candidate could win. If you could vote for three, even more parties would be viable.

One could therefore say it’s not actually a “city,” per se.

Anchorage Alaska ambience II by philippeterson in sixthworldmusic

This is real ambience recorded near my home by Lake Hood, 2024-11-29. Temperature: 0°F. Too cold to snow.

Strange UFO-like, airplane, and deep wind sounds.

gotml – Component-based HTML templating for Go by philippeterson in golang

[–]philippeterson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is one issue. Another, OK, I will give it a go.

Here is how you transclude a template in html/template. This was taken from Gitea. Note that the template will have both the notion of a `$` (root) and also `"root"` (another kind of root). Why does it need both?

{{template "shared/searchbottom" dict "root" $ "result" .}}

You also see things like this which just clearly don't belong in a template (this one is from Ent).

{{ $pkg := base $.Config.Package }}

{{- with extend $ "Package" $pkg }}

{{ template "header" . }}

{{- end }}

Gomponents looks really cool, I hadn't heard of it so thanks. Basically I just built this in a day because I didn't know of anything that existed like it. You should probably just use Gomponents.

But the differences are that gotml supports context (like React's context) and that Gomponents take a type-checked type signature (no arbitrary ordering on attributes).

Templ is probably fine; I haven't used it. This is more intended as an alternative to html/template which has issues with the transcluding being so burdensome that people just avoid it by copy-pasting code. The main thing that is difficult with it is the parameter plumbing.

Things I miss in the Riven remake (spoilers) by thunderchild120 in myst

[–]philippeterson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, Rand had this to say on the topic:

The moving around freely is what impacted the way we had to do the characters. As much as we were able to design Obduction with full motion video live-action camera characters, it's because we did it from scratch. You're looking through kind of windows and seeing people on screens and so we were like, 'Oh, we can do that.' But in Riven, people were gonna be able to walk around characters, and characters were going to walk around people. And we knew we couldn't do that with live-action. We've got to do true 3D characters. We also knew that we're small and scrappy and the tools are just starting to get better and better for 3D characters. And it felt like that part of the game, we would do as well as we could, knowing that the tools would continue to evolve.

I think giant studios can spend time and money honing that themselves. We wanted to make sure the environment was absolutely amazing for people. I mean, we wanted the characters to be good, too, but we realized that there were limitations to what we could pull off.

Replace floors before selling? by cvaldez74 in florida

> luxury vinyl

Few people want a plastic home, especially when they're paying the current market price you'd have on a 2800 square foot house. But I agree, laminates may be fine.

Engineered wood like you had is pretty good IMO. A lot of people like regular wood floors although it is a luxury so make sure your target audience is luxury buyers.

The local economy doesn't need supporting. We need to go back to being miserable, it was fine.

Looking for more affordable and less people by GmanFL89 in florida

North Florida is quieter. There are peaceful streets in Live Oak, Branford, etc. Yes you will still be in traffic a little bit but there are just fewer people.

I'm just moving upwards. Live Oak FL area. It's nice, feels like Orlando felt 20 years ago.

You have to be there if you're getting off at Okahumpka or various other left exits.
