I love the layout of this article. Especially the pitch and anti-pitch. I wish more more tools/libraries/things would make note of their downsides.

I'm convinced to give it a try.

Yeah, that is probably what bothers me the most about this. I write C code almost everyday. I can't remember the last time I forgot a "break", but I do use fallthrough when it simplifies the logic. It also breaks even the simple case of having multiple labels for the same code.

Also, the for-loop overrides are ugly and pointless, IMO.

This would sound much less impressive if they just said 500 tons. Also, why the dead weight? 500 tons is easily doable with a (smallish) hydraulic press.

The actual title of the article is "How Do You Lift A Million Pounds Of Stainless Steel?" I feel like they didn't answer that question either. It turns out that the weights are in fact lifted by hydraulics.

Exactly. This isn't an IoT problem, it's a cloud-based systems problem. "Cloud" actually just means "someone else's computer", and that somebody will turn off their computer someday.

Yes. They are referring to each individual copper needle as a dipole antenna.

I just finished watching the Hilbert's Curve video. It's extremely well done!

Does anyone know what software or process was used to create these videos?
