Ideally an executable specification, not as hard as it sounds for many things.

it would seem our house is an outlier....

Why the obsession with triangles?

If you just want areas, or to know if a point is inside or outside the shape there is a better way.

Given a simple closed curve, points (ax, ay) (bx, by) (cx, cy) (dx, dy) as a trivial example.

Line them up a,b,c,d,a vertically and take the "determinant" as we were taught.

Axby - aybx + bxcy - bycx etc etc.

Divide the result by -2 and you have the are, positive is clockwise, negative is anticlockwise.

Put an anticlockwise shape inside a clockwise shape and you have a donut.

He meant one motor all up, including actuators.

It is not about claude, it is about not normalising unwanted behaviour in society, in general.

One point that most people miss is there are many different kinds of electricians who, often can't even do each other's jobs.

There is the house wirer, the panel builder, automotive electrician, HV, marine, drilling, industrial, maintenance etc etc.

Some kinds pay better, others yield work almost wherever you go, others lend themselves to starting your own business better.

It is nowhere near as homogenous as often described.

Impressive array of functions, haven't tried yet, but potentially the most useful tool/s of all is missing - named destinations.

Additionally the ability to convert bookmarks<->named and to set bookmarks based on the font size and style can be incredibly useful.

Yeah well for whatever reason I often tend to drop a lot of those small words when typing something on keyboard...

Family court preperation of docs and strategy

without paying they are all 20 minutes behind in my experience

Great article.

Where I live, on the taller buildings it is common to have banks of elevators which only service certain floors, eg floors 2:25 and 26-50 are two different banks of elevators.

Some modern elevators have two cars per shaft, imagine scheduling that.

8 months ago I got claude to do a perfect reproduction of the arcade asteroids game on a simple prompt and a once through.

I then got it to do lunar lander, that was also perfect, and very hard to land.

"If you specify every possible detail in a design doc, you’ve essentially written the implementation during the design phase. That would defeat the whole purpose of a design doc."

However if you do this as an executeable specification then the job of core functionality is finished with the specification, with significantly beeter quality, potentially.

This sounds a lot harder than it is - most behaviour is state based and it is possible to define such behaviour with an executeable specification.

In the Functional Safety world this is often your best option.

I wrote my own software package to enable such practices and once used to a slightly different way of thinking it works very well.

There are more than one set of tuning settings, depending whether optimised for start up, steady state, minimum overshoot etc
