Ha! I had to do something similar, I think for Texas Instruments? I signed up for an account and for some reason could not login. Apparently on the client side they were limiting how many characters could be in the password. I also had to force a submit of the login form with my longer password to login and then change my password to something shorter.
I sent over a cgit web page for a take home assessment and the interviewer was horribly confused. I assume they have never seen anything apart from github before...
Might just be normal mode? I know that some gaming monitors strobe the backlight in order to reduce motion blur, maybe reader mode just turns that off.
Those schematics look surprisingly similar to ladder logic. I always thought that ladder logic for programming PLCs makes absolutely no sense compared to a proper programming language, but now I see that it does make quite a lot of sense if you're trying to get electrical engineers who used to design actual physical logic circuits into programming PLCs.
> The motivation for representing sequential control logic in a ladder diagram was to allow factory engineers and technicians to develop software without additional training to learn a language such as FORTRAN or other general-purpose computer language.
> Ladder logic can be thought of as a rule-based language rather than a procedural language. A "rung" in the ladder represents a rule. When implemented with relays and other electromechanical devices, the various rules execute simultaneously and immediately.
The combination of both statements entertains me, because while defenders of imperative languages might even admit that they are worse languages, they still cling on to the notion that imperative is easier to teach or understand and that other approaches requires genius level intellect. When it's mostly about what you are familiar with that determines what approach feels easy.
(Different approaches still differ in how well they can express or maintain your program whilst making errors harder to make, of course.)

It was specifically designed for electricians (sparkies), not electrical engineers. And indeed, it’s intuitive with that background. Junior engineers struggle at first, but ladder logic is an elegant language for the problem domain.
I would've liked to see an explanation that includes the weight of water being displaced. That would also explain how a steel ship with an open top is also able to float.
Is this an issue with the price of sugar? From the video, it seems like they have already fermented the beans, turning it into some basic dark chocolate after that shouldn't be too hard especially if you're not after a smooth texture.
Interestingly, the steam engines of the Titanic made use of the vacuum generated by condensing steam to extract additional energy from steam that's below atmospheric pressure.
