A Reddit user found this video recorded on his brand new HP laptop. It was stored in the My Documents folder and clearly depicts the mundanity of life inside a hardware manufacturing plant. This was taken in the Quanta Chongqing Manufacturing City in Chongqing and the worker seems to be testing the camera on this particular model.

Usually evidence of this testing is wiped out. It wasn’t in this case.

Essentially, you’re looking at the face of modern manufacturing. He’s not mistreated, he’s not chained to his desk, but he’s building the same thing, over and over again, a prospect not many of us would relish. It’s a mundane view inside a fairly secret world that we as consumers rarely get to see.

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)

C# - WPF - ColumnGroups Footer? (telerik) -

can tell me whether it's possible set footer each columngroups of radgridview in wpf using code behind ? i able on normal gridviewdatacolumn setting footer attribute true how columngroups? possible? no, don't think possible. telerik documentation has no such feature. you can set xaml code behind normal columns, not column groups... by default though column footers hidden, in order make them visible have set showcolumnfooters property true, per example: <telerikgrid:radgridview x:name="radgridview" showcolumnfooters="true"> ... </telerik:grid:radgridview>
