Interesting that the question is why and not how. I do it because the same material (say calculus) can be presented in many different ways, but my brain learned the material by following the steps in logic that I used the first time.

I've found with several groups of material that reconnecting your brain's old steps in logic is way easier. The same material in a different way can feel interestingly very foreign.
It's sad sack similar enough to his role on Wilfred.
I don't want to speak for the OP, but there are numerous examples of left wing identity politics turning into tyrannical regimes. See: Mao, Stalin. Of course the right has done its fair share as well on this front.
Its a concern for manufacturing, containment and disposal. In few places public disposal and recycling facilities guarantee complete compliance. The materials hazard specs are not exaggerated, they are intended to be taken seriously as they are stated.

"Instead, I'm guessing their design..."
There were no designs indicated here, only research on the crystals thermal properties with the vague mention of "electronic cooling" and "potential large-scale applications"
I keep a record of any info that I learn (organized by topic) in Workflowy. I even keep a note of everything I do.

Basically my goal is to decrease the chance of going through the same process of learning something, multiple times.

I also think of it as a cache for Google. I sometimes search my knowledge base before searching Google.

For example: how to delete duplicate lines in emacs? I just found it in my knowledge base in under 3 seconds but would have taken more time googling (also more distracting)
Remember when the industry used to say smoking was healthy, and even quoting doctors saying so?

I wonder if in 30 years we'll all be suing the industry over this (when it's too late for many of us).
You have a point about "you" being a personal attack, I don't see a button to delete though. Should have said, of all the causes we could take up
Tom here (not the creator or TOML). Every time I have a "what are we using for configuration" discussion at work for a new project, I get to say "let's use TOML, it's obviously superior, just look at it's name!".

It's a horrible joke and I've yet to actually use it, but it makes me happy :)
I don’t think so. American cities just aren’t dense enough to please compact-city lovers looking for a walkable experience like Prague. Even where I live in Guadalajara is better than every city I’ve lived in the States because of all the tiny shops near me. In the States I may have a 7/11 near me which doesn’t even carry coffee grounds or fruit/veg. It’s kind if a sad place to live.
Well, I don't know what you mean. Perhaps you could explain your reasoning a bit?
Pretty common to wear a watch on a left hand and a fitness tracker or separate smart device on the right, though
If this is the study that I'm remembering, then yes that's what they did. And this study keeps popping up. They are acting like there's some conspiracy to hide this study when it's really just junk"science"

I'm referring to the Windows system APIs, which do not require any sort of special treatment for any executable that is linked against them. This includes everything that is included with Windows, from networking to file handling to crypto to UI.

Which libraries are you including in your description of a statically-linked binary on Linux ?

Finally, Windows DLL hell hasn't been a thing since the early 2000s, and even then, it was primarily only an issue with applications dumping shared libraries into the Windows system directories.
It's still happening and it's unrelated to cookie... Looks like a problem at the overstock.com side.
I do the same, without really thinking about it. Changing hemispheres messed me up in terms of direction sense. Even though I consciously knew things were reversed, my "feeling" of which way North was was backwards the whole time I was north of the equator.

(It didn't help that cars were on the opposite side of the road too, so my baked-in "look left when you approach a road" response was suddenly not so helpful.)

Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, Visual Studio does not directly expose this option.

However, it is quite likely you can use Visual Studio's "External Tools" feature to be able to achieve this. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/76712d27.aspx)

You could set up an external tool that did something like the following:

Title: Commit with Selected Text as Message

Command: path\to\git.exe

Initial Directory: $(SolutionDir)

Arguments: commit --allow-empty -m "$(CurText)"

This will allow you to create an empty commit, with the selected text becoming the commit message. (Just bear in mind if you have any files staged, they will be committed as well)

I unfortunately do not have Visual Studio currently installed, so please take the above as a rough sketch, and my apologies if it doesn't work as is. But, I hope it is of use to you.
If anyone is interested, the term for this field is "personal knowledge management."

There are a few basic principles that can help keep the system organized and useful.

Personally I use Google Keep and OneNote: every weekend I funnel the unstructured thoughts, ideas and realizations into a structured format organized in OneNote. It takes a bit of time, but I can look back on any of my notes on programming or real estate or marketing or psychology and instantly find them useful.
There is no insurance for "a customer claims that your product cost them millions". You will come across some clients who claim that regardless of what happened. However, you could buy something called "Errors and Omissions" (E&O) which is an insurance for disasters in case something happens to customer data etc due to your fault. I have used a broker called techinsurance which seem to be decent:

https://techinsurance.com

also, hire a lawyer to get solid T&C in place and make sure that customers are aware of any changes in T&C. Keep a good relationship with the lawyer and make sure that any potential legal challenges are discussed with the lawyer. It will cost you a bit but provides peace of mind.

If a client is threatening to sue, get the lawyer involved.

Except they might also actually be helping some people, or improving the environment, even if its very inefficient.
This is exactly my experience too. I almost never go back to my notes. Only value creating notes is actual act of creating notes, it doesn't really matter what you use for it.
I’d like to use this but i see i have to manage my email list on my own. Probably could do it in Google sheets as suggested but its a small hassle to overcome.
@secure: Are you using netfilter or nftables for the firewall / NAT services?
I think it will tke longer than most of the optimists project.

But it will happen.

And there will continue to be people who choose to drive. I don't see a problem with that.

If anything, they will be much more capable than today's average driver, as those barely capable give up and take cabs.

They will certainly receive more scrutiny, as the number of cameras on the road will explode.
That's a good hypothesis, but it can be tested
" if someone is getting good results in their life, it's due to them. If someone is getting bad results in their life, it's due to them."

It's not that it's due to them, it's that this is the only part they can control. Luck & randomness happens. Over the course of a lifetime it usually averages out for a given person - that's why we call it luck.

But for some people, instances of bad luck can set them off into a downward spiral that prevents them from taking advantage of instances of good luck later, while other people shrug off the bad things and take full advantage of lucky opportunities later. You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it.

One of the skills that therapy, done right, teaches is being able to recognize what's realistically in your control and what's not, and then not paying too much attention to what's out of your control.
Please, for the love of all that is open source, someone create an open alternative to OneNote. It’s easily one of the best Microsoft tools ever, and there doesn’t seem to be a good equivalent. It also seems like the perfect pinboard-style lifestyle business.
A plain fixed size C array embedded in some data structure somewhere?

Doesn't seem that big a stretch to imagine.
I feel you don't have to be a developer or create your own. But you may have to try out some alternatives before deciding on one - some people prefer browser applications, some people prefer desktop applications, I preferred the former in the past but now prefer the latter...

For many years, I maintained my technical KB as a local WordPress blog (installed using XAMPP. XAMPP is a portable WordPress + MySQL easy to use installer). The main reason was that WP had plugins for code syntax highlighting, searching and organizing content in a hierarchy. But drafting and formatting articles with code and math was (still is, IMO) kind of a pain in WP's editor, which is why I stopped using WP.

I had also tried out some of the wiki software, including PmWiki and MediaWiki. There's nothing bad I can point to, but somehow I just didn't like using them.

Later I switched to plain old Libreoffice Writer. Drafting, formatting and organizing content are a breeze. It doesn't have code highlighting, but I use an online formatter (hilite.me) and just paste the snippets as HTML. Works great for me, exports to PDFs if I want that content in my tablets. Since searching for documents is inconvenient, I keep all the information cleanly organized in directories.

If you like markdown, I suggest RStudio. It's actually an IDE for the R language, but its usability, markdown and export to HTML support are so good that I use it a bit like a WYSIWYG HTML editor when writing content related to data analysis and visualizations. However, it's a desktop application, and some people don't like those.

If you like markdown and prefer web applications, try out any of the static site generators, like Pelican. These usually require a little knowledge of the programming language they're written in and some command line usage.
Uses of a personal knowledge base:

- Recording and crystallizing ideas: most deep thoughts and informed opinions about things often don't materialize on first try. They are the result of many iterations, pivots and revisions. Writing them down helps one regain context quickly after leaving them for a while, which allows one to make incremental progress without being susceptible to the fallibility of memory searches. Writing is also frequently the best way to teach oneself something and to push oneself to identify gaps in knowledge and thinking.

- Sleep aid: committing ideas to (virtual) paper helps unburden them from one's active memory. This has inadvertent therapeutic effects as well. I'm one of those people who has tons of ideas racing in my head all the time, so this helps me sleep at night. On a related note, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT (for managing emotions) can also be done through written therapy.

- Business ideas/hobby ideas: list of stuff to do when the right combination of opportunities arises. You can have ideas but not all ideas are ripe for execution. Having them in a cache as one is constantly monitoring the environment helps one time their deployment better.

- Latent solutions to problems: Richard Feynman had a trick where he'd be constantly thinking about 6 problems at any given time. When an attack presented itself due to sheer chance, he was able to execute on it quickly, and make himself look like a genius when in fact he had been thinking about about the problem for a long time and was merely lying in wait for the right piece of the puzzle to come along.

- Jokes/good turns of phrases: not for the purpose of plagiarism, but sometimes one needs a bon mot or an apt phrase for a presentation or piece of writing. Having a store of such phrases to synthesize from is much more reliable than drawing from memory alone. Many good writers/presenters aren't Mozart-like geniuses who can produce polished work on-demand: many maintain disciplines like this to aid in producing quality work even when their memory fails them.

- Travel destinations: sometimes we read about an interesting place and tell ourselves "we'll visit some day" but then never do because when the next long weekend comes up, we'd have forgotten all about it. Keeping a list helps one to quickly converge on a destination when a vacation opportunity arises.
I like the sunlight analogy myself.

“We exposed broiler chickens (whose biological properties make them useful treatments of human hunger) to doses of heat and infrared radiation equivalent to an average human’s lifetime exposure.”

“They turned out crispy and delicious.”
You can start with Wikipedia[1]. I’ve read more then a few books over the years — I’ll find some for you.

I read a lot of those pokemon books as a kid as well, and I agree that they provide some motivation.

But watch out for recent unofficial books, specifically the "Diary of a <insert pokemon>" series (which I think got C&D'd, because they changed all the cover art and replaced the pokemon names with generic animal substitutes). It's pretty enjoyable to make fun of, but probably not the best for kids to read.

With respect, this argument is BS and gets brought out over and over and over and over again whenever this sort of thing comes up (e.g. Broadband, Healthcare, renewable energy) - "the US is just too large!" everyone cries "there is simply nothing that can be done!". It is an excuse for mediocrity and the US should be better than that.

In reality there are bubbles of population density in any country where large amounts of people congregate to live and work - we call these "cities". It is in these cities where public transport makes sense. If you need to go somewhere in the middle of nowhere, then drive (just the same as we do here in Europe - you dont need to cover every route with public transport)
I have been journaling since 13 years old. I starting my keeping a blog as a more permanent record when I was 17 years old. I then started systematically saving content to my computer that I’d come across, and finally moved it to the cloud. Most recently I’ve used the app/extension Pocket to archive and save content such as articles.

The best personal knowledge base is my blog.

The act of writing, of pasting work and thoughts and reflections and associations and tagging and organizing, allow me to really embed it in my own memory.

I really gotta process and write it in order for me to really get the most out of the knowledge base I’m saving.

Simply archiving and tagging is not enough.
For this or other successful genetic algorithms, it would seem clear you still can’t know if it’s an optimal design simply because in most cases the number of designs tested would be a small fraction of the possible designs.

However, things like useful sound recognition being done with only a small number of logic gates (commenter below provided a nice article, thank you) make it hard to imagine doing much better.

I wonder if the process can be shown theoretically to offer any help in guaranteeing minimum bounds w.r.t. the optimal case, even if can’t be fully proven to be optimal.
At work I maintain a running txt file that acts as a journal, a time tracker to help with timesheets, and a scratchpad for real-time notes (meeting notes, action items, email drafts, code/config). I start a new txt file each year. Each week starts with a header with some goals for the week. Each day follows a similar pattern of highlighting priorities for the day.

Since it's txt file it opens quickly, is easily scannable and searchable. I will sometimes tag entries with phrases that I know I'm more likely to use later when I'm looking for something. The txt file is stored in dropbox and is typically open all day on whatever device I happen to be on.

I've found that tools that organize by things by folder or tag (Notational Velocity, Evernote) don't work for me - I lose track of where something went. Organizing by calendar/time allows me to remember "oh, the thing I'm looking for occurred before this thing".
All similar statements about accepting “everyone” obviously does not include those with hurtful opinions. Not saying that’s the case with this OP just pointing what “everyone” means now.

The storyline behind the charges is self-contradictory -- according to Muller's indictments:

b) Russian cutout Joseph Mifsud told George Papadopoulos on April 26 2016 that Russia already had thousands of her emails.

Stupid question: why is all the code marked "Copyright 2018 Google Inc."?
Government run cities. Without "government meddling", you would not have public roads or street lights. You should visit London, Tokyo or Amsterdam. Hopefully it will change your views on how denser US cities may look like. I also like my car but the ability to walk places is really under appreciated in the US.
I would love to hear feedback from the officers whose daily operational experience is effected by these improvements. I wonder what kind of beta testing they do, and if they continuously refine the architecture and design choices after receiving rounds of feedback from active combat experiences?

You hit the nail on the head. I run a personal instance of Dokuwiki, and find that this is my L1 cache for knowledge. Vim, Git, Linux... all the stuff I use the most often is there and organized in the way I find optimal.

It's also very convenient to have a reference on various devices that you own. Specs, links to manuals, common troubleshooting steps and an inbox of future work and enhancements.

So how would such crystals be used? Fairly large crystals as shims between the tiny silicon chip and a larger heat spreader? Or lots of microscopic crystals as part of a TIM paste?
That's not my understanding, based only on reading foreign policy publications. For many years, the U.S. military has seen software as the key and hardware as just a platform to carry it (to oversimplify a vast domain of technology). With the F-35, for example, many critics focus on the hardware while the military focuses more on the software. For example, if your signal processing is better then you detect the enemy before they see you, shoot first, and win. If your networking is better, then you share information faster, adjust operations and tactics too fast for the enemy to keep up with, and win.

Self driving systems is in its very early days and commaai is one of the open ones i.e you can take the software and verify under the hood. commaai isn’t also lying that it’s a glorified cruise control.

Unlike crash safety, crash and burn, topple etc, there are no open tests or third party certifications that can verify that car model X is subjectively this safe and passes this scenarios.

The big cos are notoriously secretive and throwing a lot of marketing money to create hype.

I’m just glad that certain states have allowed such cars to be tested on the streets.

We have to start somewhere.

>Literally no experience required, no driver's education required. Your uncle can teach you how to drive.

Driver's ed at least used to be pretty common,in part because it gave a discount for the (expensive) insurance covering younger drivers. I don't see anything special about the typical driver's ed instructor anyway. It's not like the typical driver's ed is some expensive defensive driving course taught by an ex race car driver.

Furthermore, the typical system is that someone gets a learners permit first which lets them drive only under a limited set of conditions so they gain experience that way.

And, honestly, you gain experience by doing things not taking classes.

I am only familiar with the laws of OR, WA, MA, CA, and CO – the states where I'm considering doctoral programs – but "therapist" and "counsellor" are regulated and require one have a license to advertise with them. "Life coach" is the only title I am aware of that is completely unregulated across the US.

Psychoanalytical Therapist is perhaps the caveat you're thinking of? I know in New York it is a regulated title, and it may be possible to practice independently without a Counselling or Social Work degree provided one isn't billing insurance or advertising as a "psychotherapist".
