Benjamin Franklin seemed to be thinking along similar lines when he set up a very clever proof that no electrical engineer ever has/will built/build a time machine.

comic, the invention of a time machine was commissioned with the intent of preventing a robot apocalypse like in Terminator movies, a recurring theme on xkcd. However, the Cueball that built and used the machine is an electrical engineer with misplaced priorities, believing that reversing Franklin's "mistake" takes precedence over eliminating a more immediate threat to the human race. Cueball tells Franklin that the charge left on a glass rod by rubbing it with silk should be the negative charge, not the positive charge, because the friction removes charge-carrying electrons from the rod. This would not have been intuitive to Franklin, because the electron had not as of yet been discovered.

It only reached the mid 70s today, but our deck still gets unbearably hot in the sun 🥵

The #engineer in me wants to harness that #energy for something… but what and how? 🤔

Julia is a worthy successor to Fortran: the most powerful #programming language for #science and #engineering.

Pick up a #julialang book to get a solid grounding in the best tool for computational #physics, #biology, and more:

What would be a good way to secure a 100 gallon tank of water with the dimentions of 22in x 81in x 11in with one inch thick rockwool and steel sheilding around it to the bottom of a class c school bus (bluebird vision 2008 with cat c7 engine and allison transmission)

The final offspringling decided on a #college!

This summer we will have 4 #kids home. Then 3 will go back to #school.

(The final one already graduated but is unable to find a #job in #software #engineering OR #linguistics--contact me if you have an opening, esp in the greater #boston area!)

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

Wild story 😱 The most interesting thing about it, however, is the way LeMessurier's "descendants" refuse to acknowledge the error, even though it was fixed; they want to appear infallible.

But it's known in customer service that people view businesses that correct errors well more favorably than ones that don't make errors in the first place.

The corporate idea about how people work is quite simply wrong.
