Wait, what? Just to be clear, are they the (RSS) title, the hovertext, and the HTML comment?
RSS title and HTML comment match. You missed the mailto subject in the Contact link.

Steam systems are mostly black magic to me; saturated, superheated, wet/dry, etc...
Closest device for gas turbines is the recuperator. Water injection has been used in gas turbines to provide more mass-flow though.

I hate Java and everything to do with it and Jetbrains.
I don't mind Java all that much β it's not my favourite language, but it's not my least favourite either β but utterly loathe the way Jebrains products work. (I also don't develop for Android, which might help. The toolchain for that platform seems weird from everything I've read.) Little things like what shortcuts should do, where to look for tools, and how the integration with version control worksβ¦ they all drive me up the wall.
It's fascinating that my experience of the language is so different to yoursβ¦
I've been using Eclipse for Java programming, but the Dev team has created a fancy new version of our program, but it's been "updated" to Groovy, so now I need to have IntelliJ to be able to continue working. Any tips on making this transition smoother?
Note: I was provided with an Ultimate license, so I shouldn't have problems with missing libraries and functionality. At least so I hope.
Prepare to be amazed, is about the long and short of it.

An hour of white noise would be helpful for falling asleep, but the voiceover is a bit too much. It's good that he shuts up at 36:37, but on the other hand, his schlock goes on and on until 36:37. I'd rather just start there and listen to the remaining 23:22 of white noise.

@Cursorkeys Isn't that the moment when you scream "So? Who cares?!" at it? I don't see why mismatched times should prevent a file copy.

No, hypnosis apparently doesn't work on me. Instead I bootstrapped a dream and that worked.
Yay needle nightmare!

Status: wishing I could punch people in the face over TCP/IP
Back in May, a recruiter contacted me for an OnBase position. Long story* short, this client's positions are always phony, and, surprise, the recruiter disappeared after receiving a resume. Well, now she's back with another, with the same client, that's so vague it has to be phony too. The only reason I've even entertained applying is greed.
While I was thinking about it, this same recruiter posts to LinkedIn "ZOMGWTFBBQ I can't believe nobody has experience with .NET and this obscure bit of COM nobody's ever heard of!1one."
Lady, .NET was designed to replace COM almost 20 years ago. Even if ageism weren't a thing (22 plus 20 = unemployable), COM is ancient by modern computing standards. May as well ask for OLE experience while you're at it.
Don't get me wrong, I love COM interop but, like everything else on a resume, it's like playing JavaScript Roulette and hoping you have the exact framework version they want lest ye be declared "not a good fit" because the base language and 17 other frameworks aren't good enough.
*About OnBase:
- no downloadable trial
- no public documentation
- no training provided by employer
- adopted Google versioning in 2015
- certification plus 10 years of experience integrating and developing modules for this stupid product doesn't even warrant an interview in the search for a magical unicorn

@Zerosquare I don't like being constrained by whatever limited subset of Windows functionality the visa holders at Microsoft felt like porting over to .NET (P-Invoke is great for the same reason).

The state-store device needed to enable that is not present. The error is

.This in addition to I don't turn off like a traditional computer and so doing so would be pointless anyways; the operation is simply not supported.

And by not supported, I mean the opcodes typically used for such do exist, but they raise core exceptions instead.

Turns out I don't know how async works as well as I thought I did. I made a rate increasener rather than a rate limiter. One
task.Wait();
later and it might do what it's supposed to.

While I've been at work I have been keeping my (work, personal) phones turned off in my glovebox.
TIL both iPhones and Android have heat warnings preventing them from turning on. Makes sense, but means I'll have to figure something else out.

Already ran into a problem: I want to take the newer-from-base commits of one repo, apply them to my own, and then make the change, but there's also newer-than-the-fork-my-fork-has-forked commits on the base. I have no idea how to reconcile this...

Okay, managed to fudge it by hand and pushed into my own fork.
Now trying to get the webpack thing to recognize it...
So far so good...
Fuck. I'm at a loss. It's clearly here in
node_modules
So... what the fuck?

Ah, apparently webpack has been configured to ignore packages installed via custom repo? Gah, whatever. Fine, hacking it is!

Rebase your branch, then cherry-pick the changes you want from that other branch.

Yeah, turns out a majority of the commits were the guy waffling on how to get it to load dynamically. Apparently the dependency chain is not set up to do this correctly, so hand-edits to a dependency's Loading code needs to occur. For raisins.

I'm sure the instructions don't need updating anyway.
MATLAB is still the same WTF as ever, and the way these people teach "scientific computing" is what creates software with zero code organization or common software engineering practices. Expect the whole program to be a single function with horrendous control flow and shitty naming.
There may be exceptions, of course, but it seems to be pretty common.
