Electrical engineering is just layer 1 on the OSI model.

Or someone in the party mentioned it to a server when they went to the bathroom as a surprise "can you do a special dessert for the person in the wheelchair, it's their birthday".
So the server just added it to the order without knowing where the person was actually seated at the table.

It's the worker doing this

It is. It's called Compulsory Licensing.

There is also an FDA Shortage list (most countries have a similar list).
A drug on that list gives the government additional powers to allow companies to work around the parents.

I think this is why there has been so many "off-brand" weight loss drugs recently. Novo Nordisk had supply chain issues with semaglutide, triggering governments to allow other manufacturers

It's even worse when some idiot dev decides what an email should look like and doesn't properly implement RFC822 (or whichever one specifies all the random bits of a valid email address).

The current recommendation is to check for an @ symbol. It's pretty much the only concrete rule.
If an email address has to exist, the only way is to send it an email and have the user click a link.

What if companies lobbied and depositioned that oil consumption wasn't bad, greenhouse gasses don't matter, and that climate change wasn't real? All while having evidence to the contrary.

Like, a company does a thing. Turns out it was a bad thing, but - as an industry - lied under oath and paid money to have it all swept under the rug.
That's pretty damn bad.

AI companies seem to be marketing their thing as a bad thing, idiots drink the coolaid and make it a bad thing.

I think we are early enough in the adoption cycle before it becomes incumbent.
Whereas oil adoption was a miracle liquid/gas that absolutely moved humanity forward at the expense of the planet.
AI replaces humanity at the expense of the planet.

Yeh, same. I have no interest in minis or minis painting. I think I'll have to paint this one tho

No immediate single idea.

I want to say a sleuce/overflow gate or valve of some sort.
Remote control and actuator in the top (or the control is in the separate cabinet you mention, and the modot is on top), with the vertical shaft down to the gate (or a protective cover around the shaft, cause that vertical pipe is massive if that is actually the shaft).

It does look like it has welded diagonal bracing between the pipe and the structure (as opposed to the u-bolt clamping that seems the initially intended methods), as if some rotational force has previously caused misalignment.

Might be some sort of sensor tube, and the "high voltage box" is just an enclosure for the control systems. Doesn't explain the added welded braces tho.

Any more pictures?

Oh, is that Imgur being Imgur?

 

(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
