Use higher airflow (including a larger nozzle) and lower temperature. The temperature calibration might be a bit off if the soldermask gets damaged by air at 300°C. Preheating, which has already been mentioned, also helps.
The OP describes competition teardown and learning from what they do, essentially reverse engineering their processes and also applying things from other domains to your own domains. I think seeking patent protection for your own processes when you actively recommend tearing down processes of your competition is a bit odd.

The problem there being that few people are going to see JLabel in a class list and think "oh, that must be something to do with my image-related needs!" Especially if they've used other GUI tookits, which as far as my experience goes use "label" exclusively to mean "some static text".

Well, except WPF, where you can re-template anything you like, but even there, the default Label is just a text container.
Space-vim is not spacevim – a new vim distribution
The classic for me of an exposition of writing a shell is Advanced UNIX Programming by Marc Rochkind (Bell labs guy and author of SCCS) (not to be confused with W Richard Steven's text which is also excellent)

Perhaps there is less concern because the iOS built-in version is not provided by Google.
I might be missing something, but most of the critical code seems to be binary. It only supports two car models. So unless you own those two and are willing to let no-warranty indie code which you cannot see drive you around, this is a solid no-no.
Hi, guys. Space-vim is just another vim ditribution, which is inspired by spacemacs.

You may ask since we have a spacevim(https://github.com/ctjhoa/spacevim) already, why I bother to develop space-vim? Although spacevim is a great work, I think space-vim is more elegant, not only the extensibility but user-friendly. It imitates spacemacs in a high level. Personally, space-vim is more beautiful due to a new colorscheme derived from spacemacs-dark theme!

For now, If you are interested in space-vim, there is only a very breif introdution for English users, sorry for that.

> there are no legitimate circumstances where someone would want or need to sell amazon gift cards at less than their face value

Many credit card rewards programs offer Amazon gift cards as a redemption option. The points:value ratio on these is generally significantly better than the ratio on cash rebates, even when you consider the hit taken on sites like purse.

e.g. 10,000 points might be redeemable for $100 in Amazon GC, but only $50 in cash, so even if you get the GC and sell them for $85, you still do better than if you had straight redeemed it for USD.

I had some exposure to it and a few classes more than a decade ago now, but it didn't really end up being anything that was a good fit for me and I never got into the group of folks trying to do TRIZ for software development.

Probably in part because of the background of the creator and the problem datasets used for the traditional contradiction matrix it always seemed to me to be a better fit for manufacturing and physical goods.

The "Interactive Contradiction Matrix Beta" linked at the top of the TRIZ Journal site may be worth looking at, but it's kind of cryptic. Basically you pick out a few areas of concern - as an example I picked (on both axes) 1: Weight of Moving Object, 9: Speed, 15: Duration of Action of Moving Object, and 27: Reliability. Based on that, the recommended areas that I should be looking at for possible improvement potential would be 35: Parameter Changes (turns up 6 times), 3: Local Quality (5 times), several others at 4 times, etc. Hitting the Analyze button on that tool will give expandable examples for the various areas - for example "Parameter changes" includes a lot of changes to temperature, state (solid/liquid/gas) and consistency. An example might be making liquid-filled chocolates - do you have to fill the chocolates? Can you have frozen chunks of filling that you coat with chocolate instead?

> Historically, these genes would not have been passed from mother to child as both would have died in labour.

How do we know that? As the name implied, Caesar was born this way, a little over 2000 years ago. It's likely the procedure is much much older, too. So what timeframe are we talking about?

What we didn't know how to do 100 years ago was how to save mother and child once birth had begun and the baby's head had started to go into the canal and got stuck. But humanity have known how to do caesarean birth for a very long time (there are even cases of women doing it to themselves).

Also, from an evolutionary perspective it doesn't matter if the mother survives birth; it only matters whether the baby lives. So it's at best incorrect to phrase the problem this way:

> Women with a very narrow pelvis would not have survived birth 100 years ago. They do now and pass on their genes encoding for a narrow pelvis to their daughters.
I don't know. Even if the flaming and groupthink rhetoric is there, it doesn't mean that there's no one on the other side listening. Maybe they are just spectating and not posting. There is an impact there, but it's not measurable in any conceivable way. That doesn't make it useless though.

I say this as someone whose been that spectator.

How would it be safer? You should never execute untrusted code in the shell.

And bugs that would cause problems in the shell are unlikely to be of the unterminated string type, but more likely to be logic errors (redirect to the wrong file, mess up globbing, etc), and Python would not help you there.

In fact thinking that Python makes you safer is a very dangerous attitude. Someone programming with that mindset is likely to have less safe code than a C programmer who knows he has to do it right.

I was recently reading my daughter a story after being woken up too early and 'half asleep'. I kept noticing that I had invented a line of text or two, and knew that I had done this because part of my brain wasn't awake enough to focus on or perhaps read the words on the page. So one part of my brain was watching another invent plot or dialogue, while aware that another was 'asleep'. Other times I became aware that the story-supplementing part was not functioning and was able to jolt myself back to a state where I could read and recite the current line.
Men are indeed attracted to relatively wide-hipped women, but there is an upper limit on hip width. There is a biomechanical tradeoff between pelvic shape and locomotor efficiency. The width of the pelvis affects the energy needed for a bipedal gait, since it alters the shape of the largest bones of the lower skeleton and their associated musculature (compare the angle of the femur in men v women and imagine how it affects joint stress). So there's a three way evolutionary arms race between the needs of the large-brained infant, the need to successfully expel said infant, and the need to be able to walk and run efficiently and without musculoskeletal damage.

BGA soldering difficulty seems like somewhat of a persistent myth. Sure, it's difficult to get right if you want to solder a BGA as part of a production line and need to get 99.9% right or it becomes too costly.

But iPhone repair technicians and others are very blase about just using hot air guns and a ton of flux to solder all kinds of BGA chips, and they generally seem to work just fine.

Now DDR3 and USB3 routing is very annoying, but you generally just copy the reference design of the FPGA manufacturer and possibly adjust for your board layup.

Wouldn't it though? A mother that lives can go on to give birth to more children.

Not to mention that a mother's survival might affect her child's chance of survival.

Originally, calloc was the function Unix programmers were expected to use by default, since it avoids any sort of intermittent bugs due to your forgetting to initialize some field in the data structure you're allocating. But clearing the memory to all zeros took precious time, so if you were an advanced programmer, and knew for a fact that you were going to fill it all in yourself, you could optimize by calling malloc.
That's the semi part. I know there are some collisions, but for the most part there's no problem. It's really not that difficult to check with a dictionary, a national registry of companies, and contact the owners in case of ambiguity.
It is probably just a myth that Caesar was born this way.

At the time, the mother most likely couldn't survive a section, because the resulting infections would kill anyone who had such surgery performed. And Caesar's mother lived to old age.

> spent so much time building a fancy 3d model in solidworks that you forgot to test your final creation in real world conditions

And that, almost precisely, betrays a lack of understanding of mechanical (or electrical, or architectural, etc.) design.

CAD is a tool for documentation and, to some extent, verification. A mechanical engineer (or self-taught designer) isn't made by being able to use the tool. Mechanical design starts with a fundamental understanding of principles, techniques, structures, familiarity with historical solutions to similar problems and a deep understanding of DFM as well as DFMEA. CAD isn't about creating fancy 3D models at all.

You can use 3D CAD to design things that are impossible to make. I think you are equating 3D CAD with mechanical design, which isn't quite right.

Ask HN: How to get Pocket app statistics

People have performed all sorts of surgeries for thousands of years, and while yes, the percentage of them getting infected and resulting in death was probably very high, it doesn't mean that every single surgery ended that way - in the end, people have been amputating limbs or getting wounded on the battlefield and surviving without any sterilization. So while it's rather unlikely, it's possible that Caesar's mother survived the operation.
Well his argument is that if you need e.g. CoW you shouldn't rely on the OS doing that implicitly for you and instead you should explicitly use the CoW features of the OS.

There should be a way to explicitly demand the optimization instead of relying on the behavior of a specific compiler to implicitly optimize the code.

Shifting beyond the bitwidth is undefined behavior. Why can't shifts be checked by default. Let me explicitly demand the undefined behavior when I really need it.

Going to potentially be controversial, but we need (might be a strong word here) genetic manipulation with strong ethical and humanist values attached to it (and a lot more knowledge).

If we are to deny natural selection its role, then we might want to still prevent people from passing on genes which effectively handicap them when they don't have access to certain facilities and technology. Prevention in this case is not eugenics, but gene manipulation/therapy.

Having said this, what we most certainly don't want is genetic standardisation (good path for extinction) and even the manipulation of genes, that seem to cause "problems" (today's problems might be tomorrow's cure), needs a deep understanding of implications, which at the moment we probably don't have.

P.S.: Hold the similar view regarding GMO in food.

This meets that need very well and I've found the service to be quite spot on alerting me (both when I had one instance of things hitting the fan, but also during scheduled maintenance). I'd highly recommend.

In your case you are either trying to deliver a product or educate yourself. It is very, very hard to do both. Particularly if you are, as you said, starting with "nonexistent mechanical engineering skills". A lot goes into a product that is reliable, durable and manufacturable. This would take a lot of time and errors to learn. A better formula is to hire someone or a company well versed in that part of things. Focus on your core competency.

People like me are able to do what we do because, at some level, we are a product of a different generation. I was disassembling and rebuilding engines and modifying cars in my driveway when I was 16 years old. I designed and built my first computer from raw chips when I was 18 and wrote my first OS out of hand-keyed hex machine codes afterwards.

Today I've worked with young engineers who openly admit not being good at soldering and know PhD's who have trouble assembling Ikea furniture. Not sure what it is, but it sure seems engineering is being done differently these days. Back then, if you went into any of the engineering fields it was very likely you tinkered ad nauseum way before hitting college. Not so these days.

What I am saying is that as an electrical engineer by schooling I had already done tons of mechanical, software, optical and other work and picking up some aspects of these other fields over the years was an organic process. Starting from "nonexistent mechanical engineering skills", well, that's a bad place to start. Driving CAD isn't going to make you a mechanical product designer.
I could imagine NHTSA was pressing him too early for his taste. I don't know Hotz personally, so I can just guess his motives, but if it was me I might react in the same way.
