Only people of a certain vintage would know what this is… the rest of you have to guess. But you have to guess what it is and why it was needed. Gogo! #nerds #geeks #engineers #stem

Today is Patriots Day! A Day in Which We Honor the First Responders and the Memory of Those Killed on 911. So, Let's Honor Those Who Died with a Little Truth...

Many of us don't buy the approved narrative that two planes took down the twin towers with fire that produced a pancake collapse. The first question that always comes to mind is if the weight of the collapsing towers caused the collapse - what happened to the pancakes?

All that was left was pretty much nothing but dust- all over Manhattan, in fact.

Yeah, some very dicey explanations of the events of 911 still leave a bad taste in some of our mouths.

So, to really honor the dead and first responders, here's a link to the 911: Architects and Engineers page

Great article on #senior #engineers and measuring #contribution instead of #storypoints - I couldn't agree more.

@collinsworth I was talking about this very thing with a few other #Engineers on Thursday and it's incredible to think how brittle major parts of our modern #digital #infrastructure are and how many #major projects depend on what turns out to be #volunteer work on passion projects. I know this is how #opensource works but this makes it incredibly important to understand your dependencies and their dependencies and so on…

Happy #Friday! Please #boost!

Techtoots.com is a #Mastodon #community focused on #tech (any vintage!). We #welcome #technologists, #coders, #engineers, #gadget lovers, self professed “#geeks” & anyone with an interest and love of tech.

Also our #greatdanes - because #dogtax and #cattax is a something I also believe in!

Does anyone have advice or recommendations on #Keychron keyboards for #software #engineers? Have you used one? If so which one? Would you recommend?

New #energy sources in aviation, and aerial #innovation in general, are subject to a lot of passion. Many commenters have very strong opinions about them. But we're #engineers, isn't it? We look at facts, not feelings. There is a wide ocean of possibilities between "this is all 💩" and "everything will be electric & #hydrogen". For instance, electric & hybrid propulsion systems or #EHPS are part of the future of #aviation – and not just #AAM by the way. 🚁🛩️✈️🔋

Time for a new #podcast! This time I talked with some deeply knowledgeable #engineers about Intel Ethernet and its long #linux and #opensource history. It's a great story full of adventure! Who knew #ethernet could be so cool? @pixelgeek also joined me for this one. I hope you'll enjoy and subscribe AND please pass it on. 😁 https://openatintel.podbean.com/e/the-best-ethernet-on-mars/

Sometimes I wonder "what if we never had invented washing machines?" 😱

Imagine washing all your clothes **by HAND**! The clothes become heavier as they get wet, and we have to lift it up and dunk it, **multiple times**!! Imagine the misery that would have caused! 😱

Thankfully, washing machines exist! Thank you #engineers ! 😇

In what scientists hail a “major breakthrough,” #surgeons & #engineers have developed a new #bionic hand that allows users with arm #amputations to effortlessly control each finger as though it was their own body.

Thousands of Los Angeles city workers walk off job for 24 hours alleging unfair labor practices (video)

Thousands of Los Angeles city employees, including sanitation workers, engineers and traffic officers, walked off the job for a 24-hour strike alleging unfair labor practices.

@kenshirriff but then again it's common for #Electronics #Designers and #Engineers to add something like a signature to their works...

Since I've started work I've noticed that no one else wears the ring in the office. I guess it's electronics so maybe things are different in Civil or Mech practices? After all, it's way harder to accidentally kill someone with a cloud server than with a bridge.

Although, it's way easier to inconvenience (or mislead, or confuse) people in the digital realm than in meat-space. And I think that those softer harms are probably under-acknowledged.

@PythonLinks Setting aside James Cameron, who built his own planet years ago, I feel like our individual strengths can only go so far.

There are quite a number of us who have experience organizing within our communities and beyond. That part (as communities) we know how to do. We don't always get it right, but we have the know-how, and the best organizing often emerges as a crisis bears down.

What we are missing is more like a shared (and trusted) set of clear and achievable priorities: what are the highest-value goals we (in our particular community) might organize toward?

That's where we need something I have not seen - a simple set of priorities scored by #climateScientists, with approximate costs provided by #engineers (and whoever else is needed) and overall "value" to the climate fight scored by #economists and potentially political economists.

That sort of tool will have issues (e.g., how do you weigh the climate impact vs community impact due to poisoning of a leaking oil well), but also, if it is well-conceived and well-executed, incredible power to enable a decentralized movement to maximize our collective impact - through independent, creative, decentralized organizing.
