AI is learning from what you said on Reddit, Stack Overflow or Facebook. Are you OK with that?

    In my opinion stack overflow has vague answers 80% of the time. If AI helps filtering all the bullshit, I’m ok with that. And I don’t know how Reddit or Facebook bot comments are a good source of information.

    “Understudied”, in the US maybe. In Central America we study these interventions throughout school and high school years.

    And to clarify, Venezuela is not part of Central America.

    Seeking Linux-Friendly SCADA for Wastewater Treatment Automation

    I am not an automation engineer. I am a chemical engineer specialized in water treatment, but I know little of SCADA. Programming a PLC is supper easy for my applications and usually all I need is to control a valve or two, to control dosing pumps, read modbus data, store it and make reports with it. That is also achievable with influx and grafana in an industrial computer.

    But in this particular application I want to control other equipment with human input, thus a SCADA is needed.

    I don’t like the proprietary software of Siemens or Schneider. That’s why I was wondering if there is another option.

    Maybe I should be thinking in HMI and not a SCADA.

  • Hello, not sure if this is the right place, but here goes. I’m currently involved in automating a wastewater treatment process using a PLC. I’m in need of a SCADA system to control equipment, visualize data, and monitor each step of the process. I received a recommendation for a Windows-compatible SCADA, but I’m not a fan of Windows due to its slow performance on industrial computers. Are there any free Linux-friendly alternatives or solutions to achieve the same functionality? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

    He's got a really niche audience. People who think they're all cool just for being "politically incorrect." Like other comedians in the american scene.

    I used to like his comedy – great storyteller and all. But lately, it's like his specials follow this routine: some jokes on how racism's still an issue, mixed with a bit of him claiming he's the top comedian alive. And let's not forget the bits where he suggests making fun of people's choices is all in good fun.

    The crowd at these specials? Feels like a bunch of yes men, laughing and clapping at every word from Chapelle. It makes watching his stuff on Netflix a bit of a struggle for me.

    Don't get me wrong, the guy's talented. Awesome timing and storytelling. But nowadays, being a badass doesn't mean being a bully, and it seems like that shift bugs him and his entourage of yes men. That's probably why his specials come off a bit too harsh, at least in my book.

    I use Ubuntu as a noob coming from MacOS, and everything is going just fine. I am loving the Linux experience.

    In my opinion, knowing how to work with the terminal is important and being confident with it as well.

    Also, there is a lot of youtube videos and channels of very helpful people.
