PDF is a great way to publish documents. which is what the web originally was. The web has become a bad remedy to some distributed software problems.

The author brings a solution, it is to publish documents in PDF instead of HTML.

it would be nice if it were a PDF I could download and save for later. is there any way to turn a series of pages in to a PDF? like a recursive wget and then pipe through pandoc?

i have a pihole and have been worried that DoH would break it. i checked the network settings in firefox and the DoH setting is there but it is disabled. I doubt that chrome will allow one to disable DoH but at least firefox does for now.

interesting they only had $168,000 earmarked as structural repairs out of $15,000,000. Clearly they did not know the extent of the damage. Most of the work was in waterproofing and balcony repairs.

in fact: >also, when performing any concrete restoration work, it is impossible to know the extent of the damage to the underlying rebar until the concrete is opened up. Oftentimes the damage is more extensive than can be determined by i

how can any engineer or inspector know that what they can see from a surface inspection means a building is about to collapse? How many buildings do they inspect with damage that don't collapse? all of them until this one. So when the

There is lots of ag zoned land around me. nobody wants it rezoned to residential as that means more people and most people don't want more people around. People always buy the ag lots cause they are cheap and have low taxes if you have

you should check out kst-plot from kde it is great for real time plotting and watching of machines and processes. I use it all the time to make plots and zoom in on the interesting parts. It is so fast and easy.

great. Ignition from inductive automation is good, but old players like Allen Bradley / Rockwell Factory Talk, Citect, Wonderware, need a kick in the pants to get with the times.

Will grafana displace industrial historian and HMI software? historians just store time series data and allow you to plot it and cost $30k for a license? The HMI software suites usually have worse time series plotting and trending analysis
