> It is very likely that the reason the transistor failed was because of poor cooling, as it is a low cost, high-resistance transistor that is running near its design limits.

This wouldn't be my first guess based on that hole, which was formed more abruptly than a little overheating. Cooling the outside of the package is only going to buy a little more margin, not fix the root problem.

Looking at that schematic snippet, what is up with the capacitance on that gate drive circuit? They want a slower turn on to avoid a popping sound? Maybe it's a reference circuit that worked fine with a larger package or something, and a UF6 doesn't have enough thermal mass? If the turn on/off time is the problem, removing one of C489 or C530 could stop it from happening again.

Or it could be something downstream drawing too much power on that rail or shorting it out. Since you're replacing the part, you might as well just use a FET with a lower resistance and some hope to address this possibility.

FWIW some thinner flux (like a Kester 951) will generally let you fix solder bridges without starting all over.

They keep doubling down on hydrogen even when it's clearly not working. Other than that they seem perfectly content to keep cranking out vehicles with their once groundbreaking but now aging hybrid synergy drive system.

IAM for dummies: How does OAuth work
It seems pretty clear that the Governor is going to sign the bill, so this is going to be a pretty big deal.

The law wouldn't take effect until the beginning of next year, and in that time Uber, Lyft, and Doordash will have collectively spent $90 million on a ballot prop campaign to exempt them from the law.

Not looking forward to all the ads, but I will be curious where the money comes from on the other side.
It’s a typical thing in industrial design to conduct the heat to metal enclosure. I did this for transistors in a stepper motor driver and for FPGA designs. The cost of conductive sheet is close to zero compared to possible problems. Lenovo saved this 0,2 cent drop of thermal paste. Maybe it’s worth producing thousands of consumer devices, though I would like to buy properly designed products.

Edit: thank you for explanation. This was not thermal problem then. I am just curious why didn’t all laptops had this problem?

Definitely. I would also make it smaller. Reduced weight equals reduced cost and improved range.
At the moment they don't, but as fast chargers become more common and range increases, it will become feasible. In my country (post-Soviet country; rather poor by Western standards) a lot of supermarkets and shopping malls already have EV chargers. Imagine going once or twice a week, and plugging in to charge while you do the weekly shop.

The limiting factors on EVs at the moment is the cost of the battery. Taking the Nissan LEAF for example, the difference between the 40kWh and 62kWh version is 34kg. If cost wasn't an issue, you could easily double the battery size without any problem.
You can't buy a quarter acre block in a major city working a low skilled, low wage single income anymore. That's a social and economic problem.

Right so consider that you could also sell spare power from your car back to the grid when demand is high and you don't need to drive. Seems like another good benefit, particularly if the grid is prone to brownout (not sure if yours is)

In broad strokes, I support this because it's helping the driver who used to get great money but then has been getting the squeeze lately.

While it seems like "big corporations complaining", I admit this does threaten certain companies, especially the ones that are not profitable. Charging more per ride or gig doesn't pan out well as ridership and usage drop in step. So far all our Uber rides have been subsidized by Softbank and other investors. Similar story for lots of other gig based apps.

I'm not sure what the real answer is here, but overly simplifying the problem, better pay/benefits for the individual person is better.

Let's hope it pans out to be exactly that.

If I am not mistaken Agda is similar in this regard too. My question would be how is no garbage collection possible, or how practical is it to use an FP language without GC? I assume I can't get very far with writing ML-like programs without GC.

To prevent the problem from re-occuring, a soft / deformable silicone heat transfer pad can be applied to sink excess heat to the aluminum shell of the computer. In the 1990s, this was a very popular way to keep the motor controllers in CD-ROM drives cool without any additional hardware.

So it seems like the problem is a cooling issue, which doesn't surprise me. "Ultrabooks" often seem to sacrifice decent cooling for the sake of thickness, and I think it is because most people really do not tax their hardware all that much. If you do - and you do not have a proper workstation-class laptop - you're likely to run into similar issues.

My Thinkpad X280 suffers from poor cooling that quickly leads to throttling, even undervolted. My old work A485 wasn't that great, either.
So... was my joke completely not clear or are state actors not liking me? Not sure which it is...

Inspirational quotes always perform well
Hello, I'm Nicolas, I'm a 29 years old Developer from Uruguay.
As most of you already know, experts insist on using quotes in social media marketing, here are some interesting links:

Quotes are always re-shared like crazy. This is one of those things that’s almost sure to work no matter how many times you do it. Quotes never get old. The fun thing about sharing quotes is that it will get more re-shares than comments - https://www.searchenginejournal.com/boost-social-media-engagements-using-quotes/

Quotes and text-based images are a simple but effective way to boost engagement quickly with your Instagram posts - https://blog.hootsuite.com/instagram-post-ideas/

Now they are some of my most shared content on every platform, not just Instagram. Easy to make, effective and attractive, you should add them to your content regularly - https://imninjas.com/blog/social-media/create-awesome-eye-catching-instagram-content/

Humorous, inspiring or motivational quotes always perform well - https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaysondemers/2014/06/25/100-killer-ideas-for-your-social-media-content/

That gave me the idea to create an app to generate beautiful quotes images customized with your brand logo and link. The result is ViralQuotes (https://viralquotesonline.com).

Is a web app ideal for social marketing automation, a social media content generator. You can choose from a wide range of topics and enjoy an original set of custom quotes, with backgrounds chosen from a quality set of royalty-free images.

I appreciate if someone let me know where could be a great place to show this app, because I think is useful but for a very specific niche.

Also, any feedback would be great, suggestions, critics, ideas, etc.

Thanks!
He said Vancouver below, I guess what you're insinuating that there is less acceptance and occasional vitriol in less diverse regions of Canada? I think even then Canada is broadly more accepting. At least personally, there's many anecdotes of racist incidents among my POC / immigrant friends who studied or worked in major urban centres in other western countries.

It seems pretty rare in Canada and even then those incidents were within the last few years when the overton window moved all over the west. Multiple accounts of immigrants from Asian countries who lived in Toronto 30 years+ never experienced any outward racism get told to go back to their country recently. It's pretty surreal.
I don't know whether the applause is some kind of fake/contrived strategy. Maybe it is. But I am sure the launch is an exciting day for everyone at Apple. The employees in the audience have spent the past year(s) working on this stuff, and are finally getting to see the result. They're seeing their work in the spotlight, surrounded by the press. Wouldn't you feel special and give a hoot when your little contribution gets a shout out?
The arrogance in this post is mind blowing!
Mostly I agree, but the engineers and managers weren't just accepting the Ada language defaults here; they had consciously decided, after clearly not enough testing, that the best thing to do if there was an unhandled error was to shut down the SRI, because it was probably a hardware failure. So using Rust, which I do agree is much better than Ada and provides safety guarantees Ada doesn't even dream of, wouldn't have saved them; they would have chosen to panic.

Also Ada does have wrapping arithmetic available. It just isn't the default.

I am sure this is true for some, but certainly not all. In a way, I am quite anxious about what I share because it’s all so... permanent... and personal. I miss a more anonymous web where impermanence _felt_ real, even if it wasn’t.

On the other hand, I do see people who are otherwise very closed using it to express themselves and grow. It’s easy to say “yes, but at what cost? That’s not ‘growth’ to me” but who am I to judge?

Some people smoke or drink to deal with their anxiety. Some people binge TV shows to avoid their problems and worries. There’s a lot of poison to be had in our world. There’s a lot of holier-than-thou attitudes about what vices are “ok”. It’s a lot of shallow moralizing in the end, IMO.
Well here’s a question. Why does Canada have to maintain continent scale infrastructure? It could just let the interior go wild.
A "sim hijacking" attack is where an attacker calls your phone company and pretends to be you. They claim to have lost their phone, and get a new sim card issued to them with your phone number. when they put the sim in their phone, the duo authentication message goes to their phone instead of yours.

any 2-factor system based on the phone system is no more secure than your phone company's willingness to give away your phone number, and they're usually pretty willing. I actually had this happen to me, in a benign way: my employer started paying my phone bill, they transfered my phone number from my personal plan on one carrier to the company plan with a different carrier. Somebody at the office just handed me a new sim card and told me my old SIM didn't work anymore - it required no interaction on my part to transfer my number to a new plan with a new company. that's apparently just normal procedure.

In the end hatred comes from ignorance, big cities are better because people interact and realize humans from somewhere else are in fact still humans.

That's fine. I didn't mean to say that you only should do fun things, but I think there's a middleground. Personally, I think running is a very boring activity - road biking however, while similar in nature, is something I look forward to and it comes with the same benefits (goals, tracking, comparable stats) you seem to actually enjoy.

I can also recommend team sports - for me it's football (as in soccer), but specific sports are beside the point as those are very subjective. I'm just trying to say that I see no point in engaging in a sport I don't enjoy when there are so many options available that offer rewarding goals and provide enjoyment while you get there.

Compare that to the USA that needs to deal with an illegal load of 20X that. [2]
And for 2019 the USA load seems to be twice that of 2018. [3]

The site seems to be powered by observable, somehow (I don't know much about it). [1] [2].

Something that tends to happen with this kind of list is that things die, get outdated, etc. With some machine readable data it would be possible to run some health checks, like, if the project has a git repo, check time of last commit, etc.

Would be cool to rethink sites like this and other list sites like those popular "awesome XYZ" pages, such that anyone could perform some quick queries from a command line in as few steps as possible ("show me all tools with good rating that were updated at least 3 months ago", etc).

You could have condensed your entire post to just "This exception was uncaught".
Your last point is just outright ridiculous:

> "Rust improves upon this situation by panicking in debug mode and wrapping in release mode, which is better than the Ada behavior in every possible"

So... What you're trying to tell us is that Ada recognising an exceptional situation has occurred is bad, and that Rust just ignoring it is a good thing? Righto...
An integer overflow occurring in this scenario is an exceptional condition. In this case it was one that the developers did not anticipate. This issue arose because they mistakenly thought it was not possible for this scenario to occur. The mistake here was not anticipating the exception and handling it in a meaningful way, not the raising of an exception. The fact that not raising an exception would have avoided the disaster in this case is entirely incidental. It was still an exceptional circumstance that the developers, testers, designers did not anticipate. The silent wrapping behaviour you describe would have bitten someone eventually, perhaps here, perhaps somewhere else. Possibly with enormous repercussions.

> "Normal "unsafe" languages improve this by giving an incorrect value as the result, which in the case of Ariane V would have saved the flight."

The normal "unsafe" languages you're referring to ( presumably C ) have a history of very poor error handling. Requiring an extremely high degree of conscientiousness when programming for mission-critical applications. Can you imagine actually programming for what you're describing here? Not only does the computer have to guard against outright failure, but now it has to infer the possibility of an error state from a stream of in-band data in real-time. Righto...

Also, just so you know: Signed integer overflow is UNDEFINED BEHAVIOUR in C.

> The West has largely won because it won a lot back in the day, and that inertia builds up and continues to favor us.

FWIW, Japan went from a feudal society to a world dominating power in the span of like 60 years. China has done something similar in the last 50 years. Whereas countries right next door in SE Asia have not made any similar progress. I'd say that's all pretty contradictory evidence for the hypothesis that the reason the West is doing well now is because it has done well in the past.

Also, your focus on European colonization is extremely Eurocentric and kind of strips non-Europeans of their agency. The rest of the world existed and had stuff going on before the Europeans became sea-faring nations. The Arabs conquered most of the Middle East in the late first millennium and later colonized part of Europe. Then the Turks took their place several centuries later and almost successfully invaded Europe (actually, they successfully invaded Constantinople, which was part of Christendom; present day Turkey used to be Christian territory). The Chinese have been a civilization for something like 2500-3000 years. The Indian subcontinent has an extremely ancient civilization and parts of it were colonized by Muslims well before Europeans even knew it existed.

And, finally, how does this theory of European Colonialism being the most important world event that ever happened explain differences in outcomes between the U.S. and Canada on one hand and, say, Brazil and Mexico on the other? All four countries were colonized by Europeans, after all.
I am not the OP. When I read that sentence, I thought it meant total refugees settled, not just new 2018 refugee numbers. I would be very surprised if Canada is near the top in total resident refugees. A small country like Lebanon (population of less than 6 million, total area smaller than New York metropolitan area) has 1.5–2 million refugees residing in the country. By some estimates, more than a quarter of the population of Lebanon are refugees. No matter what indicator you choose (total, per capita, per square km, per $ GDP, ...), Lebanon would be far ahead in the number of refugees accepted.
I appreciate the effort but as a person who has quit all social media, these more intimate, private spaces are served by messengers. For me, specifically, it's Telegram and it does an absolutely bang up job of it.

You're going to be outstripped in sheer features here to say nothing of stickers, round videos, the upcoming transaction layer in the TON, bots for pretty much everything, so on and so forth.

Social media is just a name for "broadcast widely", which has never been my interest. Messengers are that smaller scale.
