@stux did they open the dutch borders yet? I think I can slip off for a visit soon and we can have that beer

Looks like in about a month I will officially be in charge of running an entire company that is publicly traded.. Will be weird running a company on the stock exchange but I'm up for the challenge,

I was worried about leaving an open standard, saying my org was changing wso2 for tyk -- I was mistaking wso2, a monolith mostly-opensource service, for oauth2, the standard. Tyk is actually more open-source than wso2, built on Go, and designed for performance and open-source extensibility. I am excited to switch to Tyk.

(webdev Tory) :emacs:  
My organization seems intent on abandoning anything related to open standards. They are dropping WSO2 for something called Tyk. How worried should ...

@icedquinn Hey man how you been doin? Havent checked in with you in a while.

I ate a salad for dinner and I have been regretting it every since... never doing that again!

anyone can give me hints or links on what i'd need for a smallish off grid solar setup and pitfalls during installation? i probably can figure out most things, but there sure are mistakes to be made ;)

My quote of the day in Copperplate.

"As our circle of knowledge expands so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." - Albert Einstein

In high-speed electronics there's a classic experiment for beginners - where does AC current flow? Two paths from A to B: a heavy copper ground wire in a straight line, and a coax cable in a long, U-shaped curve with signal/ground wires close to each other (or a PCB trace over a ground plane). Use an AC current probe - the shortest path has NO current flow - its large loop area has high parasitic inductance, so it's a high-impedance path.

#TIL Back in the early 1900s, this experiment was much more spectacular. Instead of an AC probe, people just zapped everything with a Tesla coil. There is a lightbulb, short-circuited by a huge U-shaped copper bar - bulb still lights up. (Scientific American, 1906) #electronics

Waitor: What can I get you?

Me: I will take some chicken periods, well cooked with some bovine lactation, some of it in a cup, fresh, and the rest with a bacterial infestation and old enough to solidify, you can put that on the chicken periods. As a side I'll take the head of a pig boiled with spicies until it produces a slurry, then sliced and fried, thanks.

Waitor: we are out of milk

Me: ok then the fresh squeezed liquid from the reproductive organs of a tree, any one will do.

Waitor: We have orange juice

me: that is fine, thank you.

Waitor: Wonderful, thats one omlet with cheese, a side of scrapple, and a glass of orange juice. Coming right up!

TIL about "thought-terminating clichés". rationalwiki.org/wiki/Thought-

A thought-terminating cliché is a saying, often a tautology, that is repeated in order to relieve the stress of cognitive dissonance by avoiding all further consideration of a matter. Everyday examples include "it is what it is," "it's just common sense," and "you gotta do what you gotta do."
Thought-terminating clichés are an important aspect of mind control as used by cults. For example, the Unification Church uses the cliché "you think too much," while Alcoholics Anonymous says "your best thinking got you here" and "utilize, don't analyze."
Examples:
* The Lord works in mysterious ways.
* All's well that ends well.
* You never know until you try.
* You never succeed for not trying.
* Do, or do not, there is no try.
* Make of it what you will but…
* If you don't like it, don't buy it.
* That's just your opinion.
* I'm just saying.
* Do your own research.
