That just became my new favorite code snip

Good idea. My spouse is a CMM programmer. Interesting. CNC use G Code correct? and CMM used X,Y,Z coordinate code.

Cut and Measure VOTING lol!

Actually, they are very similar... The machine moves the cutting tools to x/y/z coordinates to make a part, but most of the focus is on how fast to move or cut or spin.

CMMs move a measuring tip to specific x/y/z positions to see if the part is actually there, or how far away from 'there' it is, but they are much more delicate - the motors that control each axis don't have to drive a 40 lb tool! However, the positioning accuracy of a CMM is (should be) far more accurate than a machine tool... although in recent years the machines are getting pretty accurate, some OEMs have coolant temperature monitors and chillers so they can hold .0005mm accuracy. (Well, that's what the sales brochures claim!)

As long as the coolant chillers don't get clogged lol~ spouse.

I thought the Diebold machines were gone now? Are they still using those at some locations?

Remember when the DNC had their primaries and the machines fucked up the results? Why are people still this fucking stupid to vote on a computer?

Government work is not the same as commercial work. You have quality standards you have to meet to stay in business. Software produced by government contract has no such quality standards. The only people you need to keep happy to stay in business are the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians responsible to awarding the contract in the first place

Well, that is the problem, isn't it?

They'll keep running with this blackbox system, which probably doesn't even count actual votes but instead just spits out numbers people might believe, so long as everyone keeps participating and abiding the results

I wish my employer had such stringent testing, we're told to basically not trust the programs we're given even though they come from our proven programs.

I've seen programs made to cut stuff not even close to the customer print, but still be something considered proven good.

Proprietary software + government are two things that should never come together, but they do. Can’t get away with fraud if your software is open source. They know what they’re doing.
