The UI people at work are making humorous complaints about the lack of an Undo button somewhere important. To wit, on a paternity test. XD

hahah

the UI at work has a stop button on a touch display that gets triggered by rain droplets. so it got changed into a slider. but now the water droplets jam the slider from moving. so it's either "stop when you don't want" or "you can't stop". we're transferring energy at >100 Amps, seems comforting.

I asked them: "Did you test it?" -- to which they replied "Yeah, we simulated rain by throwing cups of water on the display." -- apparently, throwing cups of water does not resemble a drizzle at all.

the spirit of this company seems to be "find out how gravity works by landing flat on your face when the stakes are highest!"

we always learn of our product's deficiencies during a customer showcase where we report "it's done now!"

Why is that a TOUCHSCREEN rather than a big red button?!

<@TheWatcher>
... yeah, something involving 100+A should have a proper physical isolator

ToxicFrog, there used to be a big red button, but people pressed it too much, hahaha.
15:11
< synapse>
(when there is only one big red button, it automatically gets overloaded to become "emergency stop", and emergency stopping has safety procedures that requires manual operator intervention.)
15:15
< synapse>
one of the version 1 system's problems is that people press the big red button, and an operator needs to come and unpress it. so they hid the big red button at knee height, and put another big red button on the touch display, which is now a big red slider that doesn't work when it rains.

<@ErikMesoy>
Hahaha.
