I always tried to use fields, but for some things I used a scratchpad tiddler called StoreDailyQuestionaireData. If I would use the same in those case, then I'd get rendering issues.

The condenser fan was basically held in place for 4 days without burning out

As the video mentions, this is a deliberate design decision for safety and robustness --- the motor is designed to survive being stalled indefinitely without damage. It's known as "impedance protected", because the impedance of the winding is such that it will never draw enough power to burn itself out. The downside is low starting torque, which is why they're only used for things like fans.

(I was referring to the older shaded-pole motor; the newer one might blow the fuse instead, which is still OK from the safety standpoint but definitely not robustness.)
Fair enough. Out of curiosity, was this a big money maker for you? Like 5 or 6 figures?
1. OK so in your definition, a free market requires a monopoly on force, using force. In mine, a free market has NO monopoly on force, so international markets are an example. And I compare them with markets that have government intervening, like public stock markets. How are they better?

2 and 3. Well what if the seller says "Come on man, I don't want that shit" and the buyer says "Well your competitor will take my shitcoin, so I'm going to buy from them?"

You're only looking at possible trends in one direction, namely sellers "winning" the argument with buyers and phasing out acceptance of shitcoin. But why did they accept shitcoin in the first place? Why accept Visa, WeChat or a check when you have to trust a third party bank, rather than just cash? Because it's more convenient for the buyer. If sellers provide various options, the buyers will choose the ones they want to use. Do you think sellers LIKE to deal with VISA chargebacks disputes and other crap, when they can just take your cash and say kthanxbai? In Capitalism, the pressure is on the sellers to accomodate buyers, so what about the other way ... buyers want to get rid of shitcoins?

Not to mention that the government will want to do UBI or single payer programs like SNAP food stamps or medical insurance and guess what, most doctors will prefer to take that instead of ONLY accepting direct payments. And even when they accept direct payments they are OK with VISA and paying 3% transaction fee. Why? Because many buyers have trouble paying cash at the moment, but the government or a bank has supplied them with shitcoin money. And that's my point ... a lot of economic activity can get done that way, and both sellers and buyers prefer it. And sellers accommodate buyers because often the buyers don't have any other type of payment. They've paid into their insurance. Do you think doctors LIKE to negotiate with insurance companies? But they would rather get that, than lose a customer.
Experts usually know some great resources, but are often themselves your best resource if you have access to one. I definitely forgot to mention them, the people I worked with at Facebook and ZEIT are on that list.

But when I wasn't working somewhere, I had to find my own resources and trust my own instincts. I didn't know who the best teachers were, so I had to decide for myself, what the best resource for me would be. Often, I got it wrong, but I got better and finding the diamonds in the rough.
I'm surprised author didn't write about how in dune the end result of Islam was Muslim men committing genocide against Muslim women making them literal procreation machines. Frank Herbert's dune is a masterpiece and its value hasn't lessened in our time.
I had the exact same problem with my Samsung fridge. Same timeline too - it was like clockwork. Every quarter I would have to take the back plate off, melt the accumulated ice with a hair dryer and reload the fridge.

I eventually did enough googling and found a support bulletin from Samsung about this issue. It said to move the thermistor from the intake tube to the output tube. I wish I could find the pic but the general procedure is mentioned here: https://www.appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?topic=14561.0

Best of luck. Thankfully it’s been a year since I’ve had to fix the fridge. Funny side note- our fridge used to be so clean when it would fail every three months. We would be forced to unload all the food and we figured why not clean it out at the same time. Now we don’t have that forced cleaning cycle any longer. Oh well.

Like all things computers, the real answer is, "it depends..."

This is what makes the job exist. If it was algorithmic we'd already have been replaced by EXPLAIN
I agree with all your points; it's what I was thinking along while watching the video. I also don't accept that hypothesis that in general newer designed motors fail earlier than older motors. I don't even accept it for being told that these two particular motors chosen at random. Will the newer motor in this video will fail before the older design in this video? Perhaps but I'd like to see some real evidence.
A good way of thinking about the problem is that you're essentially trying to create an "impedance mismatch" to prevent transmitting pressure waves in much the same way that an impedance mismatch works electronically and limits transmission power.

HN article on that specific target link from 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13451454
"The determined Real Programmer can write FORTRAN programs in any language." - Ed Post, Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal, 1982.

There is a hell of a lot more difference between the various programming languages than their syntax. Natural languages as well - you can render idiomatic English in any language, and if you don't care very much about getting your intended meaning across (and your listeners are both patient and fond of puzzles), you may well choose to do so. It may get you food and lodgings for the night. But the computing equivalent of getting by in a pidgin isn't quite the same thing as programming in the language you're using.
> At that point, the difference between re-oiling every other year, and every 10 years feels pretty academic.

You missed some stuff. It was one oil change for 50 years, not 10, and second, whereas the old fan would stall and heat, but not burn out, when it failed, the new fan would fail irreparably if oil ran out. And it would fail without warning. The type of failure mode is important here.

And that's just if the oil runs out. Of course, being crap in an egalitarian way, it is designed so that the capacitor would fail, or the fuse would blow, or the IC's would short, or the windings would burn out, all at precisely the same time. It's mean-time-between-failure engineering.
Subject Matter Expert, I think.
That's because the Herbert son books are absolutely terrible.
The history of /usr and /home are pretty amusing too:

'When the operating system grew too big to fit on the first RK05 disk pack (their root filesystem) they let it leak into the second one, which is where all the user home directories lived (which is why the mount was called /usr). They replicated all the OS directories under there (/bin, /sbin, /lib, /tmp...) and wrote files to those new directories because their original disk was out of space. When they got a third disk, they mounted it on /home and relocated all
the user directories to there so the OS could consume all the space on both disks and grow to THREE WHOLE MEGABYTES (ooooh!).' - http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-December/074...
the rest will fall in line or run away

Not a lawyer, not an economist, but this feels like the law of unintended consequences writ large: Sue your customers and they run away means you have no future customer and your business tanks.
I remember those weird and probably useless insurance plans they gave us to scare money out of our parents when I was a child. They included such calamities as "losing one thumb, middle finger, and maiming the pinky." -- okay not that bad, but what they covered was so extremely specific and unlikely that if you actually did manage to seriously hurt yourself, it was obvious you'd have to hurt yourself even more to get any money from it.

So, no my hands aren't insured outside of whatever my insurance covers for unspecific injuries that keep me from work. And given what they tried to sell when I was a kid, I wouldn't be too inclined to buy into such insurance.

One critical way to become a better learner on a team (that is, a far less annoying learner) is to recognize when to ask a question of someone else and when to just Google/Portal/XPlore/etc it. Interactive mentors will be far more welcoming when they feel like you’ve earned the roadblock that you’re up against.

Of course they are human! But a police force works on a hierarchy and a procedure code, not on the emotions of its members. That's a core point and is actually crucial in a democracy: police do not act on their emotions.

And riot police especially learns to stay as cold-headed as possible and to give tactical considerations over any other.

That gives the police an image of a cold-faced monster but I think protestors insulting the police instead of winning them over totally miss the point. And that "shaming of policemen" is just ridicule.

Recently in France there was some outrage in the media as there were report that after a wave of suicide in the police some protestors chanted "Police, kill yourself". Other protestors then took the counter and one of the popular slogans was "Policemen, don't kill yourselves. Join us.". Police joining protestors is the best possible victory.
You don't know which government is the actor here. It could be that China revoked their travel privileges (i.e. for pro-HK activities). It's not like there's a blanket sanction against all Chinese students in progress.
The trunk space measure for Car and Driver and other assorted car magazines, at least when it came to sports cars and compacts, was always golf clubs. I've never played and, as a reader, I always wondered what the hell the significance of golf clubs was.

The wheelchair metric seems a little more practical. My mother will soon have bought three cars using that as a filter. Or perhaps there's a built in assumption that any car capable of carrying a wheelchair can also carry golf clubs, I don't know.

A customer blocks all charges to their credit card from Wags and cancels their service. Wags issues a fine to a customer. The customer doesn't pay. Wags tries to bring the customer to arbitration. The customer gives no response. What happens then?

Wags could use a collections agency, but they'll only get a fraction of that money back. Not to mention arbitration usually costs hundreds of dollars per hour, with usually one hour (or longer) minimum, so I'm dubious they'll even bother going to arbitration.

Autopilot's exact suite of sensors from Mobileye was in plenty of other cars and just not pushed to it's limits and was marketed as something that augments the driver in exceptional cases, rather than having the driver augment the system in exceptional cases, something we know kills people.

Additionally, it's shortcomings with stationary object detection were already well known, this is why full AEB on many cars is disabled at highway speeds.

And I didn't make this comment to say I dislike Elon, I could say that with three words.

Not sure the (2004) tag is warranted. Despite the publish date on the page, the article mentions watching a documentary in 2017.

If you're wanting to read it yourself, beware: The author clearly tried to restructure this a few times and then failed to clean up after themselves.

> For example, Atreides is directly taken from Homer's Iliad, and is hence of Greek mythological origin. Vladimir is a Slavic name, and common in Russia, which was the Evil Empire during the Cold War era. [...] Also names such as Vladimir and Atreides are from Slavic and Ancient Greek cultures.
The Palo Alto Fry's electronics was the first Fry's electronics that I ever stepped foot into...and I was mesmerized. They had everything that I could have ever really wanted -- oscilloscopes, meters, computer goodies, and a wide array of electronic components.

I made a "traffic light" for our cruise control (powered by the parallel port) that sat in my cube when I wasn't in the office (I worked from home 3 weeks out of the month) that stayed in that cube until I left CollabNet in 2010...

I'll never forget that first feeling that I was in my own little heaven when I stepped into that Fry's, and even after being to a few Fry's near me -- Atlanta and Indianapolis -- and seeing them in their current state, it's a little bit sad.

It makes me wish that they could still be as relevant today as they were when I first saw them, but, I understand that retail changes.

I feel your tone is slightly too condescending, but I have to agree with the general statement.

I'm responsible for hiring in my small department, and the OPs blog post would be a red flag.

We appreciate if candidates show they can learn quickly, but it's not useful to us in isolation. You already need to have a good base set of skills (CS, physics) but more importantly the humility to accept that with 5 years of experience you probably don't really know the thing you claim to know.

Some bay area tech companies like to hire more riskily, so it might be a good strategy after all though.

Top Keyword research tools for content marketing success
One odd bit of trivia: the Windows system call mechanism supports up to four different tables. The first two are what you'll usually see - the first is the basic kernel services, and the second is for Win32k, the graphical subsystem. The final two slots are up for grabs and historically could be used by drivers to implement custom system calls.

The system call number determines what table is used. Calls in the 0x0-0xFFF range are handled by the first table, 0x1000-0x1FFF by the second, and so on.

As far as I know, the ability to add another system call table was only ever used by the IIS web server kernel-mode component (spud.sys).

Discomfort due to dry air is a major problem in airplanes. You may already have experienced it.

One of the main reasons why they recirculate some air instead of making it an open circuit is to conserve moisture. Outside air at high altitude is extremely dry. Moisturizers could be used but that would require heavy and therefore expensive water tanks.

I make sure I work somewhere that isn't too stressful, and pace myself as much as possible at the dayjob so I can work 20+ hours per week on my own business.

I wish I could have a 3-day workweek so the other 4 days I could be coding my own projects. After $100k why do people even want more money? I just want more time to work on my projects for a chance to have my own business. I'll never understand why so many people choose to be put into golden handcuffs.

Getting a job as a barista isn't tough in this economy, but if you have a law degree from a school that isn't from the top 40 your odds of doing any law work are getting much slimmer; I've met several such people stuck in low paying jobs.

In my father's day a cashier could buy a home in a nice neighborhood (like the bay area) and live comfortably; in large portions of the country that same position now pays poverty wages and homelessness is a constant threat.

The prelude books are OK and the sequels at least gave us some closure.

The butlerian jihad trilogy was awful though, it was there to give some necessary background information for the end of the series but when you've got characters with ancestral memories and characters that can see through time that probably could have been done in a much better way.

I chose the words "merely denying someone entry to a country" because to me it seems much less severe than a prison sentence and/or denial of possessions, and the imposition of a criminal record.

From the country's point of view, this policy seems like a conservative filter for entrants who might violate regulations, cause damage or even harm the existing residents. But, yes, there are false positives and false negatives to any such policy. And, of course, such a policy might include the provision for an appeal.
I wouldn't jump to blaming people of a particular political persuasion because complaining about kids, their loud music and them not walking 100 miles, barefoot and naked in the snow is as old as time itself.

My Assignment Help
Relying on fast estimations is one of the most powerful aspects of the way our brains work. But applying the skill of finding and applying fast estimations exclusively to every topic--like reading SparkNotes over an original piece--is a good way to eventually know very little.

Suppose any rate of decay in the things you retain. If your starting point is already small, losing any of it comes at a high cost. At least when pursuing mastery of a subject, you are repeatedly faced with new ways of understanding the basics, to the point that they are innate and automatic. You might forget small specifics which you can later find in your known references, but without mastery you might instead forget the basics--and relying on a reference for those basics means it's much less clear when they are aptly applied.

I would hazard a guess that that's why people have always tended to master only one or a couple skills, but people congregate and work in complement with others who have mastery over other skills. The community is the entity with knowledge over many domains--not the individual who learns tons of surface material. And simultaneously, everyone does learn a little bit about a lot of topics from time to time. But that balance is important--so I wouldn't personally weight so heavily the cursory synthesis portion of it as OP did.

Also, a little advice to OP. Drop some of the grandiose introduction. 100% of the links I clicked in the first paragraph were more disappointing than their descriptions led me to anticipate.

The usual practice all over the world is that a visa very much guarantees entry to the country, if they deem you a security risk they won't even issue you a visa. Getting denied entry at the border is rare and usually the result of gross malfeasance.

Turning a whole group of foreign students back at the border is very unusual, and it's unclear why the government wants to increase legal insecurity and broadcast that it can't be trusted.
