Freelance engineer. Was the senior engineer on a lot of large scale solar projects. Made robots that monitors abandoned mines for heavy metal water pollution using Raman spectroscopy. My hobbies include running cute little field hospitals.

one of the more 'deep magic' parts of electronics i have encountered is "actually, we don't send the current down the copper, that would be a disaster" instead, they use the wire as a waveguide, and get terabit speeds out of it from youtu.be/Em_2YRZjEdI
three strands of copper wire have an airgap in the space between them, and this can be used as a waveguide for high frequency radio signals, rather than sending the current along the actual wire

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Oh #emfcamp, I love you so much.
A display at EMF Camp entitled "The Museum of Manky Tea Towels". My hand is holding a zine which says "Why is this? Tea towels tell stories about people, places and things. You can change those stories. An unused tea towel is an insult to nature."

for all my Catholic programmers who perked up hearing today's readings when Isaiah said that the Word of God never returns void...
a screenshot of VS Code showing a TypeScript file. We can see the following: 

```typescript
type HeartStatus = "prepared" | "hardened" | "conflicted";
// [obscured text]

function wordOfGod(heartStatus: HeartStatus): void {
    if (heartStatus != "prepared") {
        return;
// [file continues]
```

There is a linter's red squiggle under the function's return type `void`, with the error declared as `isaiah/word-of-god-not-void` and the following message --- Invalid function signature: "The Word of God shall not return void..." (Isaiah 55:11)

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

Neat and well structured code used to be a fair proxy measure for good code. Generally, if the code was well laid out, broken down into sensible functions/methods, sensible variable names etc that was a reasonable signal that you’re dealing with an experienced dev who thinks about their code.
