Better manufacturing through data!

Geez...it took me a week to figure this out!

@marbtweeting It's the same in San Francisco. But as Mark Twain allegedly said, "I've never spent a winter as cold as a summer in San Francisco."

@jerrynixon @salinaspaul Hmmm... "Earth > People" seems an overly simplistic perspective. It's the discussion that's important. The government legislated their position...and now it's the farmers' turn to respond. The discussion begins. Messy. That's how democracy works.

@amandaksilver Up (very) early this morning to view the planetary alignment. Beautiful!

@probablyrealrob I'd use @UnoPlatform, since the same solution can deploy not only to Android and iOS, but also the web. (Not to mention Windows, MacOS, and Linux!) It also leverages the C#/XAML skills my team already has, and uses all the latest Microsoft tools and tech. #WinUIEverywhere

@Thurrottfeed @thurrott Option 4: No, Cloud PC fills this role nicely

"Semper Gumby" is the National Guard's informal motto. It means "Always Flexible"...fitting, given the Guard's role in national defense AND as first-responders to natural disasters. Always Flexible. Ready to step in to help wherever, whenever, however. A worthy goal for us all.

@jerrynixon The podcast??? (It's an allusion to old-time radio shows.)

[Dan Meier @FactoryOptimizr]

@CFDevelop While start-ups are risky, they offer young developers a chance to "wear different hats" in a way that's rare in large companies. What better time for a risky proposition that offers broad experience than when you're young?

[Dan Meier @FactoryOptimizr]

@jerrynixon Yeah...now I get the real reason my parents said, "Come over here and read this for me." I always thought it was to help me practice my reading!

@jerrynixon @HP I think the better question is, How can we be in the year 2021 and still be printing??? 😂

@thenickrandolph @WindowsUI I just wish the UWP => WinUI3 migration path was smoother, particularly with respect to 3rd party components. Sadly, 3rd party component builders won't be updating many of their UWP components for WinUI3.

[Dan Meier @FactoryOptimizr]

@ajcvickers Wish I could use it...but UWP seems to be forever stuck in the Dark Ages...

@jerrynixon Only for British films and programs...

@thenickrandolph I create a detailed UI mock-up and review with "power users" to validate assumptions on functionality and behavior and see what's missing. (a.k.a. Behavior-Driven Design) Lots of UI prototyping tools, but I find PowerPoint more than adequate (using animations and transitions).

In manufacturing, one of the best sources of "best practices" might well be the study of "what might have happened".

[Dan Meier @FactoryOptimizr]

"We live history forward, in the chaos of onrushing events, without a clear guide. But we judge history backward, smugly armed with the knowledge of what did happen and uninterested in what might have happened."

-- Historian Robert Kagan
