thanks for plugging and chugging it all out. carbon engineering's carbon capture technology is projected to be significantly less than $600 tonne, they say the plant they are build…

wow they have IEC standards for 22 euro instead of 300!

I challenge you to find a pirated copy of IEC 61362 "Guide to specification of hydraulic turbine governing systems" online. It does not exist. The company I used to work for, which…

PDF is a great way to publish documents. which is what the web originally was. The web has become a bad remedy to some distributed software problems.

The author brings a solution, it is to publish documents in PDF instead of HTML.

it would be nice if it were a PDF I could download and save for later. is there any way to turn a series of pages in to a PDF? like a recursive wget and then pipe through pandoc?

How would they get the first IP for the REST client to contact?

i have a pihole and have been worried that DoH would break it. i checked the network settings in firefox and the DoH setting is there but it is disabled. I doubt that chrome will a…

interesting they only had $168,000 earmarked as structural repairs out of $15,000,000. Clearly they did not know the extent of the damage. Most of the work was in waterproofing and…

in fact: >also, when performing any concrete restoration work, it is impossible to know the extent of the damage to the underlying rebar until the concrete is opened up. Oftentimes…

thanks for the link >that estimate indicated that the concrete damage observed would begin to multiply exponentially over the years, and indeed the observable damage such as in the…

how can any engineer or inspector know that what they can see from a surface inspection means a building is about to collapse? How many buildings do they inspect with damage that d…

it ran for 101 seconds at .... 120,000,000 DEGREES CELCIUS!! for comparison the sun is 15,000,000 degrees C. I wonder how they measure a temperature that high.

There is lots of ag zoned land around me. nobody wants it rezoned to residential as that means more people and most people don't want more people around. People always buy the ag l…

you should check out kst-plot from kde it is great for real time plotting and watching of machines and processes. I use it all the time to make plots and zoom in on the interesting…

great. Ignition from inductive automation is good, but old players like Allen Bradley / Rockwell Factory Talk, Citect, Wonderware, need a kick in the pants to get with the times.

Will grafana displace industrial historian and HMI software? historians just store time series data and allow you to plot it and cost $30k for a license? The HMI software suites us…

everything in life is temporary. just enjoy the people in the place at the time when they are there

why have a front shifter, cable, and derailleur, and multiple chain rings when they are not required, you can have a 12 speed with only a rear derailleur

I don't think it is an unfortunate narrative. two people wearing masks without valves is twice the reduction in likelihood that either one gives the other covid. If someone does ha…

I think every engineer in North America learns about "bouncing betty" the Tacoma narrows bridge which collapsed [0] in the 1940s. This looks like a similar situation, but quite a b…
