Apologies, I'm not sure if you are disagreeing with me in any way or not. :)

Envoy is indeed open source and freely-available for corporations to use. That is not what I was implying.

Amazon, out of all the big companies (Google, Netflix, Microsoft etc.), is the one with the least contribution to the open source world, despite using many of open source tools to build their AWS products.

Amazon using it is a big endorsement, I would also imagine that they contribute bug reports.

This is specially the case when you are bound to use glasses.

I have fairly aggressive progressive trifocals, and don't have problems with my 27" portrait monitors. I just angle them so the top tilts toward me.

How far do each of you sit from the monitors?

Have fun getting any physical activity injury claim denied. Smokers aren't expected to do sports.

What does '/s' indicate?

I feel articles like this should recommend an annual income threshold, if you are buying these lattes with a credit card while your checking account is over-drafted then it is going to indirectly affect your retirement. But I do acknowledge that most people reading this are probably not in an over-drafted position.

Typically, diesels are built with maintenance in mind (at least for trucks, no idea what you'd find in a diesel car). The cylinders are sleaved and meant to be replaced every couple 100k miles or so, so the cylinders themselves also last a long time (the sleaves take the brunt of the wear). I think theyre typically less complex than a standard gasoline engine. E.g. they have no spark plugs (and thus no distributor or ignition system), instead glow plugs to start the engine. Possibly more complex in other areas, such as emissions control.

I'm no expert on engines, so the the above may not be entirely accurate or current. Most of my knowledge comes from working for a semi truck/diesel engine manufacturer as an IT intern close to two decades ago and touring factories.

That's about right.
pytyper2 commented on Network Determines Success More Than People Realize   medium.com/swlh/your-netw... · Posted by u/muzz

I use to think of networking as “going to events and handing out my business card”, which I could never quite bring myself to do. I figured I just wasn’t cut out for the whole networking thing.

What I ended up realising after looking back over my career was that I’ve been networking this whole time without even meaning to. By generally working hard and being friendly those who have come and gone over the years, I now have a pretty sizeable network of people who will vouch for me. If someone ever asks me for networking advice, it will be “find a job where other people are doing the same thing as you, and then become someone they enjoy working with”.

This is the most important point. Networks are created mostly, not only born into. Success recognizes skill, by developing a skill then ASKING to work for successful organizations(big and small) the network grows naturally.

Why?
pytyper2 · 6 years ago
I wish I could answer that, probably some delusional personality trait that wants to study science instead of programming.

Do share more stories on working on old trucks! I have a '99 Ford with a 7.3, and everyone's saying it's not worth fixing, but I just like keeping it on the road...
pytyper2 · 6 years ago
It would depend on what needs fixing? Are we talking engine internals of the stuff that hangs of the engine?

I periodically smoke, yet I don't call myself a smoker. Yet when I buy insurance I buy the smokers plan, the idea being that if I do need to use the insurance I expect the Insurance company to use any information necessary to deny my claim. Should I be worried about this?

I'm not entirely sure if I understand – What electrical component could these be used to replace? Could they be used to build single molecule wires, or something like single molecule NAND gates, etc?
pytyper2 · 6 years ago
My lay-brain imagines that a wire of the same "length" could hold much more power that would flow with much less resistance.
