The value of most programmers is not loc. It's knowing the right lines to type. It's knowing which lines to eliminate. It's knowing how to set up your program so it's as short as possible while having all requested features. I can give you basic calculator in maybe 100 lines. I can give you same calculator on 100k lines. Which is the better program? Which do you think is more maintanable? Which do you think is faster?
I'm kinda curious what would be the cause of these health effects. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is I know there is increased cancer risks living near high voltage power lines. Are these data centers using so much power they are experiencing a similar effect?
Either that or they are doing a massive amount of illegal pollution and that's causing the effects.
Not saying the effects don't exist, just interested in the root cause.
Probably best topic for me would probably be how to statistically model quality in manufacturing. Like what is hypothesis testing, what is a gage r&r, what is spc, how do you properly do those things, what are the footguns, how do you interpret the results, what's a spec limit vs a control limit vs action limit?
How can you manipulate the tests for your business case? To be clear on that last one I'm not saying manipulate to lie, but it depends on business. For example your control limits are typically +/- 3 standard deviations. If you run a dark business making plastic forks but to get a engineer to fly out and adjust the machine is a few thousand dollarsand no one will care if the tongs on the fork are 3 thou longer than normal. You may set your control limits at 5 times. If you make the steel beams which hold up bridges where hundreds of people die if they can't hold the forces and you're measuring width of the beams you may go down to 1 or 2 times standard deviation. Yeah you will waste engineer time which is money but it's hundred of people's lives if it fails. Those are different business cases and you shouldn't just default to the standard 3 st.dev in those cases.
I used to repair/operate/program laser welders and cutters too. We mostly worked with titanium and either fiber or nd-yag lasers. Our cutter was 350w but 200psi of argon. My preferred cnc controllers were fanuc but they were so expensive(main controller not including servos or motors or anything else was 35k). Our cheaper machines were like 40k total but didn't have nearly the accuracy or control.
Interesting fact with fanuc is there controllers are full backwards compatible. And I mean fully. You can buy the most recent top end model and pull out some program on bubble tape and it will work. You got a program on punch cards? No problem. Also their service is top notch. You call them, a technician will show up in a day or two max with a box of every replacement board possible. They will replace the burned board then and there (no ordering and shipping) and bill you after it's fixed. Yes, it's expensive(most boards are several hundred dollars but the fee for the technician which is a few thousand) but if you make a tens of thousands in revenue per day it's worth the cost.
It is though. Yes there was a driver, yes they maybe the driver but in a court you have to prove they were the driver. Yeah it might be as easy as "they were in driver seat of the accident scene". But let's say evidence is only they were seen on a traffic camera 15 minute earlier, well they could of swapped seats or they could of been dropped off somewhere. You nor I don't know the answers to these questions and we shouldn't speculate, it should be proven in court.
That is the correct way but I see so many people skip it cause either a. I need it powered so I can test what's wrong well it's already open and I found the problem. Or b. I didn't know that was a danger. For the example at my last job we created some titanium dust as a byproduct. If you don't know titanium dust when exposed to a oxygen can and will explode. I had a coworker who didn't respect that and acted careless cause it was a Saturday on overtime and he had other plans, good news he was already bald bad news he no longer had any hair on his head. No eyebrows, his beard stubble, his nose hair all gone because it flashed.
I had another coworker who tried to "help" me with an operation. I was working on one side of the machine and he tried to help clean the other side. He exposed oxygen into the piping, the dust flashed while my head was 6 inches away from the machine. I jumped back and minorly hurt my back(nothing serious, just like pain for a day) and could not hear for 3 days.
These were both with same company. Both were recorded and reported. So many people I talked to there didn't even know about the risk of explosion. Yes there was a sign and yes there was a procedure. Most people ignored them till I told these stories and stressed the risk of titanium dust.
Actual fun way to play guess who. You can't ask any questions about their physical appearance, only ask about guesses about them.
"do they have grandkids?"
"do they have a full time job?"
"do they regularly see a therapist?"
It's hectic and chaotic but way more fun than "do they have glasses?"
