I'm a #software#engineer living in #Saskatchewan, #Canada, the middle of the prairies. I've worked in countless domains, but find #python generally useful for many of them, and have been using it for nearly 30 years.

Why Boeing needs to be run by engineers and not bean counters
Really insightful video about what has gone wrong.
Among the points Casey makes is that Boeing imported Jack Welch's GE management culture.
This has included a focus on short-term profits over engineering, and practises such as stack ranking.
Boeing, as a major defence contractor and (direct and indirect) employer, is too big to fail.
And Casey argues that either the Board or, if they're unwilling, the US government, needs to clear out the senior management and introduce an engineer-led management team:

I'm reminded here of @maryrobinette's short story - "Red Rockets" - "She built something better than fireworks. She built community."
I decided to log the mains grid frequency for a full 24hr period 🤷🏼♂️🤓
Using the Philips PM6669 and an external OCXO (calibrated, see earlier post when I received it) I get a quite accurate result. Each measurement takes 10 seconds, so in reality there’s some averaging going on right there, removing some of the jitter and noise at those last digits. The grid frequency is highly dynamic once you reach a millihertz resolution, and that is in fact what I’m trying to capture 🙂
The PM6669 counter has a really nice feature btw., it’s max input level is 260Vrms! That’s really handy, in reality I could connect it straight to a mains outlet without damaging it, but due to the risk of transients I’m using a small transformer and the cute little Vellemann oscilloscope training kit so I can pick a more safe 12Vrms instead 👌🏻⚡️🙂
#Retrofitting and #Building upgrades are the easiest way to align three societal objectives: it can help people save money, it can help safe the environment and its a nice way of "not giving it to #Putin".
I want to share the story of my dad, who has spent the past 20 years optimizing my family home to produce more energy than it consumes.
He is an #engineer, so this comes much more natural to him as me being an #economist, but I think this story is an #inspiration.
I became an #engineer because I DONT want to hang out with other people
I like being alone. I like sitting on my computer.
Stop crying and begging people to come back “for the culture”? We do not want to party with MBA manager douchebags and VCs. I don’t want to commute 2 hours. I don’t want shitty free food. I’m not staying at a campus hotel the fuck? Give us money or shut the fuck up.
