Ugh.

Why do they all look so angry?

Wow. I had no idea. That’s amazing.

Oh good it’s not just me.

“I’m a specialized clerk interested in mathematics” if you don’t wanna get burned.

It’s been ages, but we’d done rough calculations for the three controls so we roughly knew what we needed. Our teacher was big on manually tuning instead of just using formulas since he thought just running numbers “lacked artfulness.”

So we grabbed a point and started searching around manually. I think we were just tuning the derivative portion at that point, trying to get a fast response without the system without it going chaotic and noisy.

The final project in my instrumentation class was to tune a PID controller for a hot/cold mixing valve. I (CS/ENG) was paired up with an engineering student and a lot of it was throwing parameters in, seeing if weird shit happened, and then turning down or up based on the result. I had a programming final and something else I was supposed to be studying for, so I just started doing a binary search with the knobs. We got the thing tuned relatively fast and my partner acted like I was a wizard.

Gross.

Ok, hear me out. Her last name is Jones and she hates snakes…

My soon-to-be four year-old loves Sushi Go and we love playing it with her. She mostly just picks the cute cards and doesn’t win much, but games go fast and my wife and I have fun.

They should name him Steve. He looks like a Steve.

Chinatown - My friends tell me that this game transforms me into a different person. Not sure I would call it an euro game but I had to put it somewhere. This is a negotiating game, you’re going to spend the entire game trading locations with other people or selling them for money or both. Check this one out!

I’ve spent actual cash from my wallet trying to close a deal in Chinatown. It’s nuts.
