You can use a well known template like ARC42 and insist on the maintenance of suitable indexes for agent access and review for coherence on a regular basis. Ultimately any useful documentation needs active curation. Getting devs to do this

Talk about back to the future. Pre-SQL Postgres had time travel.

This was definitely something I picked up from science education. Basically a technical journal. These days I split between technical notes a write and store on the project git so others and the AI tools can read - eg architecture decision

Got to love the relational model. Learned about fan traps in data modelling course at uni in the early 80s

Sigh. Urban expectations. Come live in the sticks where I do and pay £35/m for about 15Mb. Actually had to go Starlink to be able to work from home properly. Swish fibre came round a few years ago and dug up all our roads and put fibre

The US is so far out of line with the rest of the mostly civilised west it astonishes me. We know how this will go. Officer claims felt life was in danger (it wasn’t, and well over by the time he shot), investigation will drag to drop from

I think if you want the benefits of living in a country then you should be willing to defend it. This attitude of entitlement without responsibility is exactly what gives migrants a bad name.

Wylfa was Magnavox, not AGR. AGR was the next generation that never went full commercial. Had a tour of the place back in the day before 9/11 and all that made the world a lot less fun.

Fun signal processing project and all the sampling problems sound typical. Unless this is just for your bike, given that some of the pokey fours run up to 15k rpm ~ 250Hz primary, I think it would be a lot easier to use a significantly hi

With the ParcPlace flavour teamwork with Envy version control was pretty slick. And in performance it was mostly compiled to bytecode with some cunning tricks in place to make interactive debugging appear to work at the source level. Truly

Am interested in the DC-AC—DC- Battery-AC vs DC-DC-Battery-AC efficiency argument. As in there must be a DC-DC conversion happening to charge batteries appropriately.

Lots of things went wrong. ParcPlace acquired competitor Digitalk and tried to create a Frankenstein hybrid - jigsaw? - that royally screwed things up. Around the time, the industry was very exercised about a number of features that alledge

Very few organisations get international use cases right. Want to load that public transport app for the city you’re spending three months in? Sorry, only available if your phone is tied to the local App Store. Use an international number

Half the airbnbs I try to book these days turn out to be resellers of un booked hotel rooms. Try to book, get a message from “host” just checking availability… silence for three days then sorry, not free … it’s a deeply flawed experience an
