Some workers have the patience of Job.

But too much patience can be an occupational hazard.

Pretty sure that sequence was an APOD at some point.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The last project I worked on was as a sub group of our home office (in USA) development team. I had endless arguments about this, and could never convince the 'mercans (whose country spans multiple timezones) that UTC made more sense than local. In fact our system designer seemed to think that if your company was located close to the edge of a timezone your measuring of time would somehow be different from the people in the middle. It's a bit like the daily questions in a certain forum concerning the use of strings to calculate the difference between times.

Where in the US? If they're close enough to me, I've got a LART and am not afraid to use it.

Well they are right on the edge of the timezone so you will never catch them.

If it was internal/proprietary I'd just walk to the next cube and apply my LART until I got my point across or my arm got tired; but the abortion I'm swearing as is an induhstry standerp. Someone somewhere in the cluster elephant should've been able to tell the EE's to go back to their soldering irons and let the software people write the spec details.

At the moment it looks like one of our EE's will be doing the CANbus stuff; I'll just be writing the web service it uses to talk to the world. (Assuming when it goes from a "can we do it" proof of concept to "the customer is paying us to do it" implementation phase I'm not tied up doing something else anyhow.) I think the EE might have gotten the better half of the deal; the interface is going to be running on a linux small board computer so I'm having to work in Java instead of C#. 
PS Before someone tries to be helpful and suggests ASP.net Core: It is a 1.0 product from MS, ergo production unready by definition.

There's gotta be a joke in here somewhere:

Anyway, thanks for the fractal!

You should read the insider forum, I've been expressing my opinion of exceptionally insipid PR posing as news there that way for almost 3 years.

Oh I plan to zoom into that one that looks like a dry green-faced raspberry ... my understanding of fractal geometry is Rilkes' understanding which is your understanding right?

After something like a decade and a half, I'm reasonably confident that if it was going to give me hairy palms, it would've happened many years ago.
