I stumbled across this Google sheets document over the weekend. I am trying it out to track my current weight cut over this summer. I’m not doing the diet, just using he tracking tool. I thought I would share if anyone else wants way more data than they need.

RE: What is in a Job Title?
So, as it stands the title changes has to go through the C** Level and Exec. VP, is it worth the fight, or is it petty.

What is in a Job Title?
I have been with a company for 3+ years now. Before this job I had constantly made up job titles from DB Manager, to Network Admin, to Systems Admin, when in reality I was an IT generalist with a CIS degree running a 1-2 man operation for a company with less than 500 employees. Now I am at a new job and my role is basically a Manufacturing Systems Integrator/ .Net Developer, but my job title is a made up title specific to this company ending in Technician and it doesn't reflect what I really do day to day. I have started pushing to upper management that I would like an industry standard job title, because I don't feel that my title respects the work I do. I am getting push back. I just wanted to open a discussion on if this is just ego, and title doesn't matter, or does it? Is is fair that I want to be called a developer or integrator, because it is what I do. It is hard to determine if I am being compensated fairly when my title is made up, but does that matter? What say you all?

RE: Statistical Process Control
@scottalanmiller said in Statistical Process Control:
In an example scenario....
a factor will do simple design up front and make repeatable parts for months or years. The parts don't change. You have processes to tune and improve to make maybe the parts easier and easier or cheaper over time.
IT is not like that. But how and why?
IT designs new things all the time, and if building something normally does it once. If something can be repeated, it should leave IT and be handed to bench or some other department. Or automated. IT really doesn't do repeatable processes. Each IT task is unique, being done for the first time. New decisions, new fixes, new designs. No repetition.
Thanks SAM you have given our department conversation material for the beers.

Statistical process control to quantify quality control metrics
I went to university for that kind of stuff. Doesn't apply to IT in any way. It's for repeatable processes like manufacturing. It undermines design activities like IT where things are not repeatable.
That is exactly why I am learning it, as we are developing software for manufacturing. I just finished the class and was just kind of thinking out loud what use cases could exist in my other skills.

Statistical Process Control
I have been in training all week with Dr. Don Wheeler learning how to use Statistical process control to quantify quality control metrics. It was a great exercise in logical decision making and process control. Just curious if anyone on here has ever heard of it or any use cases in the IT world.

RE: Machine software unabel to connect to new SQL server
Similar environment here, you may try altering the sql servers compatibility mode. I have seen seen that work on older manufacturing automation systems as an easy fix.

RE: My Son & College
I started learning to code in High School, have a CIS degree. I worked as a generalist for 8 years before becoming a developer and systems integrator for the last 3. Having the degree has opened doors, but SAM is right, my peers that started coding in middle school write circles around me. It is embarrassing.
What has kept me in a great job has been mainly the following:
- I show up to work everyday, never call in sick
- I don't make excuses and own problems
- I complete tasks without management
- I can learn new things
- I stay on top of new trends
- I can use basic logic
The 4 year degree shows that I can stick to things and greenlights any HR hurdles, and most of what I learned in school specific to writing code, I never used.
I vote work on getting your kid a little daily stoicism, and don't be scared to toss him in the deep end and let him swim.

RE: Tamper Proof Currency Wallet Pwned by Fifteen Year Old
another case of all bets are off when you have access to the hardware. I keep my crypto wallet in a lock box next to my firearm.

I just finished Ego is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday in 2 days. Great book for stopping and taking a look at your life.

RE: Fitness and Weightloss
Just my 2 cents, but we need to be clear when we define what we are trying to say when we talk about health on this thread. Health and nutrition is very complicated and there is no best practice defined, it isn't like IT. I think for arguments sake we need to say if our goal in a suggestion is to loose weight, build muscle, run for distance, live longer, or what. As a culture especially in the US we see marathon runners and weight lifters and think, now that is healthy, but the reality is the runners and weight lifters who preform at the top level, die really young. Even if we post the magical formula of what is "healthy", it doesn't work for everyone. Some people at a genetic level do not thrive on the same diet and habits as another human. So be careful when talking about what is "best" for "health" and be clear what your goals are in making any change to your routine. Lastly, there are some things that are agreed upon. Being obese is bad, and it will kill you, so eat a little better, and try to maintain a decently healthy lifestyle. and let's not get stuck in the weeds about what is the best way to do it.

I use parted magic or clonezilla for this kind of work, but mainly just because I am comfortable with it.

RE: Coffee may cause cancer...
Also, remember that 1 peer reviewed scientific study study doesn't mean anything. That is not how science works. That study has to then be replicated by other groups who then report if they had the same results. Then you have a theory, which can be proved wrong, and is likely to change with new information. This article doesn't even really get to step 1.

RE: Coffee may cause cancer...
Stressing out about every single thing you eat because you think it will kill you will actually kill you faster. I did it for a long time, now I am just trying to eat like a sane person, calm down, and be happy. It lowered my blood pressure, which studies show will also kill ya.

This is all likely to change if the lightning network gets going. I'm not well versed enough to try to explain it, in a clear concise text post, but it is a add on that will allow for near instant transfers and the ability to keep sort of a tab open for micro transactions to take place, then close out after services. Google it if you are interested in how it works under the hood.
Raiblocks does much of that already today.
I know others do, but having this functionality on the most popular coin on in the world could be a game changer. Right now using bitcoin to do anything other than hold long term wealth is close to useless.

I am a HODLER myself, so I just view this as a after Christmas half off sale. Good luck out there man.
Buy anything today or yesterday? I found a really cool new project that I am really excited about.
I have an automated buy that buys some every payday. It is my goof off slush fun money. I then let it build up, or crash, or spend a bit on fun stuff for myself. I would never invest more in than what I am ok with loosing.
