On the job training. Entry level pin setter mechanic training is fairly basic (Lock out tag out procedures, basic machine operations, simple trouble call resolutions (ball returns,…

After working full time in a wide variety of tech since 1983 (embedded systems work on medical equipment and commercial fire alarm systems, hotel reservation systems, ramp and fuel…

One of my favorite examples of a literate-style program is "cl-6502, A Readable CPU Emulator" by Brit Butler

For github I crafted together this little bookmarklet to ignore whitespace on diffs (use it daily for our code reviews): javascript:(function()%7Bopen(location.href+'?w=1');%7D)();…

I just installed GuixSD 0.12 last week on a Dell 13 7000. Went mostly smoothly (had to use Grub BIOS instead of UEFI, that's been fixed in 0.13) after I replaced the Intel WiFi car…
