Building a #Stirling #Engine #Bike.

A Stirling Engine is a heat engine, powered by the expansion and contraction of a working fluid [such as air] which is heated and cooled in a cycle. In the video [Tom Stanton] begins by demonstrating the Stirling Engine with some model engines and explains the role of the displacer piston. His target power output for his bike engine is 150 watts [about 0.2 horsepower]….

“There’s a common misconception that state-of-the-art technology has to be expensive, energy consumptive and hard to engineer. That’s because we have been persuaded to believe that #InnovativeTechnology is whatever bombastic billionaires claim it is, whether that’s commercial #spacecraft or the endless iterations of generative #AItools.

As the #Canadian #technologist and #engineer #UrsulaFranklin once said, fantasies of technology would have it that innovation is always “investment-driven, shiny, lab-born, experimental, exciting”. But more often than not, in the real world, it is “#NeedsDriven, #scrappy, on #location, #iterative, #practical, #mundane”.

The real pioneering #technologies of today are genuinely useful #systems I like to call “frugal tech”, and they are brought to life not by eccentric billionaires but by people doing more with less. They don’t impose #TopDown “#solutions” that seem to complicate our lives while making a few people very rich. It turns out that genuinely #innovative #technology really can set people free.” — Eleanor Drage

Programming Like It’s 1986, For Fun and Zero Profit.

Some people slander #retrocomputing as an old man’s game, just because most of those involved are more ancient than the hardware they’re playing with. But there are veritable children involved too — take the [ComputerSmith], who is recreating Conway’s game of life on a Macintosh Plus that could very well be as old as his parents.

“When the lights come out at sundown along the shores of Scotland, I am proud to think they burn more brightly for the genius of my father.”

My freelance quote for your software project.

50 - if you tell me what you want, I confirm the requirements, and I build it for you
100 - if I have to pry a description of what you want out of you like pulling a tooth
250 - if I have to build it on a "company laptop" you supply
350 - if I have to regularly video call with you for no particular reason
400 - if I have to use JIRA
450 - if I have to use Github
500 - if I have to use Zoom
750 - if I have to use Teams
1,250 - if you ever want to "watch me work" by sharing my desktop
1,500 - if the project is fixing something your employees built for you
1,800 - if it's fixing something a previous contractor built
2,500 - if it's fixing / completing a project a previous, cheaper freelancer failed to complete
19,500 - if it's fixing something created with "AI"

I'm a software engineer. I do not have a high opinion of the snake-oil "AI" that my industry is using to pursue self-immolation.

However, I will have more f*cks to give about "vibe coding" *after* we solve the problem of vibe voting, which appears to be at the root of the world's USA Problem.

Bluetooth Flaws could let Attackers spy through your Microphone.

Vulnerabilities affecting a Bluetooth chipset present in more than two dozen audio devices from ten vendors can be exploited for eavesdropping or stealing sensitive information. Researchers confirmed that 29 devices from #Beyerdynamic, #Bose, #Sony, #Marshall, #JBL and #Teufel are affected.

I am job hunting if anyone is looking for an #IT #engineer

I currently work in Mergers and Acquisitions as an IT specialist in the embroidery field, but I have experience with #Cisco #networking including their Firepower ASA and their switches. I am also an #MDM engineer and I am the team lead for SOP writing and development.

I would like to get back into a #datacenter job. I am comfortable with #travel and I'm comfortable with #parttime and #contract work if you have any recommendations.

I won't do defence companies though.

"#Mozilla's management is a #bug, not a #feature"
"#Dominance does not equal #importance, nor is dominance the same as #relevance. The #snag at Mozilla is a #management layer that doesn't appear to understand what works for its #product nor which parts of it matter most to users."
"Don't #blame the #app, and don't even blame the #programmers. That is, the ones who still have #jobs, after years of #engineer #layoffs.

Back to Reality with the Time Brick.

The time brick is a simple way of keeping track of the most basic of things in the real world: time and weather. The device has no buttons and only a small OLED display. As far as design goes, it’s an excellent demonstration that successful projects have to avoid feature creep.
