Groothuisbouw produces precast concrete walls for the houses they build across the Netherlands. At the production site they use CAD-PRO laser projection systems by LAP to ensure precise positioning of built-in components and mark positions for windows and doors on the production tables. Thanks to the laser projection systems error rate can be r...

I am more interested in shipping container houses, actually.

shipping container houses are trash

You can strap many together.

The red stuff you are seeing are modular magnet connectors that my friend designed and 3D printed.

Does anyone here use mind maps?

deep copper

mind maps are stupid

Glory to red threads.

celest musk

change my mind

deep copper

soft night

kyber crystals

celest musk
summer cedar
#

Can't. It's a 'mind' map. Your mind has to accept its usefulness by itself.

#

I've used it as a part of my ERP system.

#

Entire flow charts to track my organisation and its projects.

#

Now, I need to use it again and I hadn't installed XMind. πŸ˜„

deep copper
celest musk
#

flowcharts can be handy, yea

deep copper
celest musk
#

but mind maps overall, i feel like they are just pure chaos

summer cedar
#

Wait, what's the difference?

#

I've always used mind maps as flowcharts. How have you seen it used?

deep copper
celest musk
#

a flowchart describes an working process

#

a mindmap is more like an idea of something

degenerate erp

summer cedar
deep copper
summer cedar
#

Ok. Think of a time-table or scheduler, along with checkboxes to indicate that the task has been done.

celest musk
#

my first job was to write an inhouse erp system...

deep copper
#

aw that's cute

celest musk
#

and apprently they use it to this day, i'm so sorry for them

summer cedar
#

πŸ˜„

#

ERP and SAP work so long as the human elements are also professional.

summer cedar
#

If you have donkeys and freeloaders, well, it'll be messy.

celest musk
#

yea, they needed smth new, and SAP was the alternative

deep copper
#

how is sap different

summer cedar
#

Hehe. I love how start-ups here rush to implement an ERP, even though they have high attrition rates.

deep copper
#

i am starting to sound like textbook questions

celest musk
#

SAP can do everything (kinda) for a lot of money, too

#

SAP is like UE

#

you buy a lot of plugins

#

and courses

summer cedar
#

^

celest musk
#

and eventually you get smth done

summer cedar
#

SAP is Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing.
It comes from Germany.

deep copper
#

so erp is best

summer cedar
#

When you get SAP, you are essentially getting an ERP, but in your case, you can also imagine a TWP, MVP, PvP, AoE, and other 3 letter acronyms.

celest musk
#

xD

empty dune
#

FBI would be good place to start

deep copper
#

so a lot of complicated things

celest musk
#

yea

deep copper
#

SAP complex
ERP simple

celest musk
#

for AU it's rather FBI, CIA, NSA

summer cedar
#

In terms of people having to learn acronyms, yeah.
But to put it simply, it's efficient and effective project management.

deep copper
#

SAP contains erp

summer cedar
#

Basically, prevent the team from screwing up.

#

Theoretically.

celest musk
#

it's supposed to connect everything in a company

deep copper
#

hey that sounds cool

#

i want an erp

celest musk
#

you make a contract, it reserves the parts required in your stock

#

pretty much like an online shop

deep copper
#

it's basically a checklist in a calender right

celest musk
#

amazon is pretty much a big ERP company

summer cedar
#

^

deep copper
#

ah okay, so it also involves tracking supplies

summer cedar
#

tracking everything.

#

You can customise it to track how often your employees visit the bathroom, if you want to.

#

Just make sure your employees can't see that part. πŸ˜›

celest musk
#

if you order it starts a "process" which ends for them when they receive the notification from you delivery men that the stuff was delivered

deep copper
celest musk
#

pretty much the whole process is digital, except for moving goods in packages

summer cedar
#

Unreal's Helix Core and the Perforce file management systems are also a subset of ERP.

deep copper
summer cedar
#

If you have heard of those, you'll get a better idea.

celest musk
summer cedar
deep copper
celest musk
#

it's not only about the ERP in that case

summer cedar
#

The concept itself is simple. It's like that helicopter parent who makes sure you do everything on time, perfectly.

celest musk
#

but also the whole system which runs it

deep copper
#

so erp is just a tasklist, but making sure everyone follows it is pain

celest musk
#

and with multiple places like amazon you have to keep data in sync, and avoid that items get reserved from different servers

#

and that the whole packaging/moving of packages is efficient

#

so you got to batch the right jobs to the right location, etc.

deep copper
celest musk
#

smol company

deep copper
celest musk
#

i didn't have to care about efficient packaging for example

#

i'm glad they didn't

summer cedar
deep copper

God help you.

celest musk
#

he really meant pat

#

not pay

summer cedar
#

That's worse.

celest musk
#

i see, windus doesn't know AU enough yet πŸ˜„

#

if AU types pay, it's the typo

deep copper
#

i feel like a disappointment for not saying pay now

summer cedar
#

You should.

#

You were borally wrong.

deep copper
summer cedar
#

You can make a pretty penny.

#

Bigger the scale, more the money.

deep copper
#

also, it's not just making it yeah? wouldn't you also have to maintain it?

summer cedar
#

That's why I said you shouldn't do it for free.

celest musk
#

i should have worked for SAP i guess

summer cedar
#

or for peanuts.

celest musk
#

seems more chill

deep copper
summer cedar
#

Unscrupulous employers and ignoramuses assume the two are bundled together.

deep copper
summer cedar
#

But, they should never be.

celest musk
#

SAP is, but it's a large company so i guess they have teams for all the modules etc.

#

so you don't do ALL of it

#

also i was the only person in charge for the first years

deep copper
celest musk
#

so when shit didn't work... that was my problem

summer cedar
#

You made a good buck for all that work, yeah?

celest musk
#

meh

deep copper
celest musk
#

it wasn't bad, but not too good either

summer cedar
#

meh is better than f*ck all.

celest musk
#

but it was probably okayish for my knowledge

#

since i learned a lot while doing this

deep copper
#

i wanna make erp

summer cedar
#

Then you add modules and stuff, according to what the devil..... er, employer wants.

celest musk
#

like i got there after school, didn't know anything about those company processes

deep copper
celest musk
#

so i got to talk to all the departments to get to know what needs to be done etc.

summer cedar
#

Yeah, it's easy to rope in fresh employees to do this kind of thing and pay them less. It's less of a problem in the West now than it is in the East.

unborn lotus
summer cedar
#

In the East, you'll get milked until you are emaciated.

summer cedar
#

And you'll get paid peanuts for all that work. You'll find out much later and by then, it's too late.

celest musk
#

yea because SAP kind of has a monopoly in that area

celest musk
#

they are pretty much the biggest company for that?!

#

also the main software i've replaced was in DOS πŸ˜„

#

so that company was already few years in tech debt πŸ˜„

unborn lotus
deep copper
#

yeah okay it's really unclear what sap does from their website to me

#

it just seems like a bunch of keywords for seo ranking

wow i do feel thirsty, nice timing

celest musk
#

to the native english speakers.... is bringing order to chaos the same as bringing chaos to order?

summer cedar
#

Yes, taken directly.

#

The latter can be understood otherwise, though.

#

Boeing is an example of ERP not going too well.

#

🀣

deep copper
summer cedar
#

You haven't read about the doors falling off, welding margins being wrong, tyres popping off, engines on fire, etc. etc.?

#

Also missing screws and other components.

celest musk
#

how is that an ERP issue tho?

deep copper
celest musk
#

did they reserve the door by accident for the wrong plane so that it had to come off, to be mounted on the correct plane?

deep copper
#

maybe they didn't schedule checks properly

summer cedar
#

More like they forgot to order the screws, in that one case.

deep copper
#

erp seems to be a review system

celest musk
#

well it can certainly require some quality checks before smth get's delivered

deep copper
#

poor boeing, it sounded so cute too

summer cedar
#

Their actual problem seems to be on the manufacturing line.

#

It's been that for a few years now and they can't solve it.

celest musk
#

their QS sucks

#

apparently

summer cedar
#

Whenever there's a delay in the manufacturing of a certain part, they have to set that aside to be completed later and when it comes to 'later', they start making a lot of mistakes.

celest musk
#

that's the only reason how bad products end up on the market

deep copper
#

guess nobody in authority cared enough

summer cedar
#

Instead of fixing that process, they simply continued scaling up.

#

And lo and behold, the latest clusterf@#$s.

summer cedar
celest musk
#

that sounds like how i'm handling my code πŸ˜„

summer cedar
#

They tried to fix it.

#

The problem was that they also decided to continually expand their production.

#

So every time they tried to fix it, the problem got worse because there were more delays.

deep copper
#

so they were just bad at it

summer cedar
#

greedy, more like it.

celest musk
#

because people are greedy

summer cedar
#

Aye.

celest musk
#

they want to fly for $100 around the globe

#

at least twice a year

deep copper
#

so they were greedy and they can't make more money now because of it

summer cedar
#

They can, because they are one of the few aircraft manufacturers for large passenger jets in the world.

#

But, they have to face the consequences now.

celest musk
#

which are?

summer cedar
#

Up to the US AG.

celest musk
#

they have to spent cash, which they should rather invest in QS πŸ˜„

summer cedar
#

They are bringing charges against them, is what I read.

deep copper
#

so they have a monopoly

celest musk
#

ah cmon, they get charged and thats it

celest musk
#

and end of day, thats more money missing

#

so it gets worse

#

GOVT acting at it's finest xD

summer cedar
#

Yeah, I am not saying they'll get cured because of it, but they will face legal action finally.

summer cedar
celest musk
#

airbus, boing and?

summer cedar
#

COMAC.

#

They are the chinese manufacturer that makes airplanes without a single chinese part.

#

🀣

deep copper
#

they say it's not illegal if a fee is all it costs, it's legal for a charge

#

no it's legal for a price?

#

idk

#

you get the point

deep copper
summer cedar
#

True. But when even MOAR money is on the line, then the authorities get cracking.
Besides, Boeing failing is great news for COMAC, which the US does NOT want.

#

Whether they can succeed in salvaging the shit show is the question.

deep copper
#

probably not

#

the problem seems deep rooted

celest musk
#

tl'dr boing is going to fail

#

just a question of time

#

because china

summer cedar
#

But, there's nothing Chinese about their planes.

#

πŸ˜„

deep copper
#

they will make as much money they can now then

summer cedar
#

Not a SINGLE part of Comac planes is Chinese. πŸ˜„

celest musk
#

not even the cupholders?

deep copper
summer cedar
#

@celest musk apparently, no.

deep copper
#

only boeing?

summer cedar

So far, yeah.

celest musk

i don't believe that claim

not for the cupholders, but in general

that sounds like west propaganda

I just wish the end game was different 😦

#

Like, high-level steel path end game stuff.

#

and I wish they'd remove Overguard because I think it's a fundamentally flawed system that severely ruins the balance of the game.

But if you aren't doing high level SP, none of that really matters πŸ˜›

#

DE use to be the #1 studio I wanted to work at, but idk how I'd feel about programming changes that make a game I enjoy, less enjoyable to me kek2

unreal ether
#

I'm still not sure whether I'd want to work on a game I actively play.
Idk, I think it's kill some of the enjoyment.

lofty lark
#

I love the way they approached the FTP genre, how freely they interact with their community, and the gameplay systems seem fun to work on. My coworker use to work at DE and he's spoken well of his time there and the experience with the team.

No idea what it would be like to work on a game I actively play/enjoy, but I have worked on a game I actively dislike playing and it's hard to offer feedback on something you just don't like much at all.

something about changes to affinity and having to wait to play like some shitty gacha

lofty lark
#

There is nothing related to affinity and money

brittle holly
#

can you not bypass waiting by paying?

lofty lark
#

and no clue what people are referring to by "some shitty gacha"

#

Bypass what?

#

You can rush your crafting times yeah

#

But that is far from the main way of progression in the game

#

far

#

But that's not a paywall

#

You can avoid farming entirely and buy some things with premium currency if you prefer to not play the game.
But that's not a paywall

brittle holly
#

have you played it recently?

lofty lark
#

Yes

#

For 514 hours just this year

brittle holly
#

lol

#

good to know it's not as bad as the review I read was saying

#

tbh tho I can't afford to put the time in it rn tho lol

#

I stopped at about 744h apparently πŸ˜…

lofty lark
#

Oh so you've played quite a bit already xD

brittle holly
#

yeah back in '21

#

I was doing regular Eidolon runs when I stopped. Was prly grinding too hard and burned out

Ain't that the reason we all take breaks kek2

Ah

#

There are "daily caps" on how much affinity/standing/experience you can earn with certain factions

#

No amount of money can help you there

brittle holly
#

ah yeah, that was a thing 3 years ago too iirc

#

welp, left UE open for 2h and it's frozen - nvm it finally woke up

#

tbh, I wish the content was the same quality as the Who You Are thing

#

other than the Fortuna song, and maybe the ship thing, it kinda dropped in quality from there

#

campaign wise

#

but that was 3 yrs ago idk where it went from there

@lofty lark why does life have so many unanswered questions

#

Like why do all foam balls have a bite taken out of them

#

Why does my cold get worse at night

lofty lark

because the temp drops at night

#

duh

#

why are there no portals irl
we got something as complicated as an eye but no portals 😒

#

now i think that's an unanswered question

brittle holly
#

We have portals

#

We call them doors

deep copper
#

i read this hawking dude said blackholes got portals in center but it's completely unusable and tbh throwing everything at blackholes feels like a "yeah maybe there, where we can't see" just for a nice clickbait

be on a slow internet, then you will realise opening google kills discord, and then google needs to connect and that takes 2 mins, and then reopening discord takes another 5 mins because it can't reconnect

#

also, be on a phone

#

😭

#

google search is NOT easy

#

i can keep both discord and google connected if i use split screen or floating app or whatever that is, but then my phone restarts because it lags hard or something

#

i can, avoid the restart if i am plugged in to charge, but there's no internet where the switch is

#

which means i gotta ask someone for hotspot or something but that just heats up everything

some say Shogun is better than GOT

deep copper
#

i recall reading about writing styles once, some just keep adding interesting things and build it block by block, but ending is often lame because nothing was planned
some plan everything out, so ending is epic, but it takes time to get everything together

#

oofies

hollow dawn
#

shogun is meh... watch the original from the 80s or whatever... the new show looks great but lacks in storytelling, its so slowmo and feels mostly irrelevant

deep copper
#

lost the essence

empty dune
#

Only remake that was better than it's predecessor was Battlestar galactica

hollow dawn
#

its definately different, more style than the telling of an adventure

pearl elk

But the ladies are pretty 😍

deep copper

#

Sadly bsg last season was bad too

#

But the others were god tier

pearl elk

Battle Sad Galaga

hollow dawn
#

GoT was pretty great imo, should maybe have made the ending more reasonable, ok that blondie goes bad witchqueen but it felt a bit out of character to go that far

deep copper

some stories are better left half told I guess

empty dune

imagine how much fans it could have retained if the show got cancelled instead

I tried that in monstadt with the doggos, they seemed to be stuck to the ground

ye, doggos just run 😦

i won't run.

hollow dawn
#

gamechanger for me was Kokomi, she has such great heals, never had to eat food or anything afterwards... can also tank about anything and dmg about anything

empty dune
#

I have Kokomi i think

#

Never used her

hollow dawn
#

raiden just has one of the most convenient damage you can add to ever other char in rotation

hollow dawn
#

and ya... wanderer... people say he aint op af... and he aint... but hes just so goddamn versatile and effective and still does mad amounts of damage

#

he can fly ffs

#

and has ranged aoe

that auto aims

Does the brother have different abilities than the sister? I play as the sister

ye

#

Im talking about the traveller

hollow dawn
#

oh

empty dune
#

The main character

hollow dawn
#

gotcha, i always mix em up myself XD

#

wanderer, traveller... wtf

#

you can rename wanderer luckily

#

nah bro and sis are the same

empty dune
#

Ah okay

#

Did they actually talk to each other in the game story so far? Last i remember was, they saw each other but didn't get the chance to speak

empty dune
#

I think that was just before the chasm update

hollow dawn
#

i think my character only ever said two words or so, that annoying little fairy baby always talks for me

empty dune
#

Emergency rations

hollow dawn
#

exactly

#

i changed the voices to chinese so she wouldnt sound as annoying XD

empty dune
#

Oh btw, is the dendro archon still dead?

#

Cause im in sumeru and nobody has said shit about the dendro archon

#

Which i find odd

hollow dawn
#

dunno yet, onlky finished the water area after sumeru and ther whole story gets more and more weird and multi dimensional... i mean i hate that its so much blabla but im amazed what kinda stories they tell... especially in a chinese game

#

if you did sumeru you prolly know what i mean... its very deep and critical of social problems and governance

empty dune
#

I still need to unlock the water area

empty dune
#

I wouldnt be surprised though, sumeru is based on India and India 100% has...... Issues

hollow dawn
#

i dont feel like those problems are necessarily related to the nations it emulates but more as general problems. but not sure wether its intentionally trying to portrait certain cultures and their real life problems. its certainly insipired by them thou.

empty dune
#

I have yet to finish the questline but liyue was very much a critique and homage to ancient china

#

Don't know much about germany so can't say what monstadt was about

hollow dawn
#

mondstadt was ignorant, liyue was greedy, inazuma oppressive, sumeru fooling everyone to keep them under control, etc

empty dune
hollow dawn
#

ye but those issues relate to each of those nations if were honest lopl

#

they are timeless issues of governance and societal norms

empty dune
#

True

summer cedar

#

What nations are still missing from the game? We have air, water, rock, grass and electricity

#

So snow is left. Am i missing anything?

Oh right, fire

at some point id like to know why all those archons so easily give up their power to those ruskies XD

#

instead of me!

empty dune
#

venti and zhongli didnt though

hollow dawn
#

they kinda did

empty dune
#

did raiden give up her power?

empty dune
hollow dawn
#

zhongli was like "im tired of being god, here have it"

empty dune
#

venti gave them a fake gnosis right

hollow dawn
#

venti was like "ouw, i just wanna get drunk"

empty dune
hollow dawn
#

i was so pissed how zhoingli then comes around like "you gotta walk here then there then there and then back and there again to hear me tell you what to do and why and how my grandpa enjoyed to pick berries and please do all the stuff for me cus i have no gnosis anymore"

#

but i still want him for some shield rotation XD

empty dune
#

wow

#

so venti is the only one who's still a god

hollow dawn
#

nah he gave the real one away

#

or i completely remember it wrong but yeah

empty dune
#

let me check, i remember a cutscene where he shows his real one

hollow dawn
#

they aint real gods anyway but the gnosis made them that way

#

gets even more messed up in waterland

#

but dont wanna spoiler things XD

#
Genshin Impact Wiki

A Gnosis, plural Gnoses, is an item used by The Seven to directly resonate with Celestia, and is proof of an archon's status as one of The Seven.[1] They take on the appearance of a chess...

#

ah ya, now i remember, signora came to mondstadt at the end and stole the gnosis from venti, in front of the church or somin

#

and then he gets drunk

#

but he def gets drunk

#

or tries to

#

ye he got drunkj allright

if you could pick 3 jobs, what job would you have back then?

#

as per the server guidelines, i wanna do fishing or farming or be a knight or something that's easy and chill

#

ikr??? you would also get fluffy animals like chickens or large fields full of edible plants and fresh trees with fruits.
sure it's hard work, but you can just eat what you produce unless there's a draught or famine

#

in which case I'd just die but that would be nice too, i would be the best fertilizer when I die

hollow dawn
#

being a farmer in victorian england? you a masochist?

#

be a buckaneer and get the fuck out of there, the carribeans are nice and warm, the4y even have sun, england wont have sun the next 300yrs... industrialization and all

#

they also invented the prince albert piercing and electric shocks and such curious things you might want to avoid, personal pref but hey

deep copper
#

um

#

let's assume the Victorian era was ideal

#

not the real one

hollow dawn
#

i dunno what an ideal victorian world is, one without the filthy commoners maybe, but then, who does all the dirty work?

#

and ye, theyre kinda living in filth cus the brit royals and landowners always were a bunch of twats

deep copper
#

okay okay maybe victorean era isn't the best for this

hollow dawn
#

well victorian england is about vast scientific advances without really thinking it through or knowing wtf they even do, result is mass starvation, environmental loss, darkness and smog, filth and decay, death and the stink of rotten corpses on the streets

deep copper

i guess the ideal job there would be something high profile

ye... queen victoria and be done with it πŸ˜›

but cus hes a good daddy he bought her nice things like guns to steal even more from the spanish
