Hmm..took my brain several orders of magnitude longer to warm up than a 6L6 power tube. AI suggested that I was being generous with my 0 dB S/N for social media, it should be -∞ dB…

Hello, Update, I thought of a way to express the parent comment here: 0 + 0 = 0, substituting literal values, dropping the units, for some convoluted overloading of the operator '+…

My professor for Compilers 101 in grad school tasked us with working on an Ada subset compiler. I work best alone, but he insisted on making me work on a team. My experience with "…

I went to RPI's summer program for high school students in the mid 80s. I was hand assembling and linking assembly for a PDP-11 in the computer lab for a class, and I struck up a c…

Thanks for the feedback! However, if you can discern "better" (i.e. 1 plain old bit of difference) by taking a few words off my posts on social media, you have "Beat the Shannon Li…

I hear you, since I spend half my free time fixing stuff that breaks on my house and its contents.

And still meticulously adhered to, I'm sure. I guess you mean "management by walking around"? For perspective, we had TQM in the '90s, which consisted of orders to tell TQM consult…

I guess he would need an "Extreme Makeover" to go on "Undercover Boss". My dad was the financial controller for a large pizza chain in the '70s--they used to send him into the fiel…
