> Short of reunification, there was not an acceptable legal regime to end Germany's limited sovereignty(which the rest of europe supported).

Ending Germany's limited sovereignty did not require reunification. It required (a) the Four Powers renouncing their residual authority over Germany, as they did in 1990's 4+2 Treaty (b) an agreement about what to do with West Berlin. The obvious options for removing occupying power control of West Berlin without reunification would have been (i) West Berlin becomes an exclave of West Germany; (ii) West Berlin is integrated into East Germany; (iii) West Berlin becomes independent as a third German state.

These PCBs are probably copyrighted. My understanding is that schematics are fair game as long as they don't look the same in terms of component placement (but connections can be identical), but a PCB can be protected the same way as a painting?
also because of

- lack of birth control
- child labor
- children used as retirement support for elderly parents
It’s not unreasonable to think they meant it at the time though. Things changed rapidly, I see how it looks bad from a Russian perspective but when for example the Baltic requested protection it looks reasonable to help out given their history.

Needs replacing though as the microphone chipset died so I can only use Bluetooth headphones. I still like the grippy black though, if not as much as the 5/12 style of rounded rectangular prisml
HyperCard is like Concorde: it was replaced by less powerful alternatives (eg PowerPoint) that took away any hope of mass success and left the remaining audience too small to be viable.

That's why later successors like LiveCode have to aim themselves at niches of the original HyperCard audience, like those who want an easy dev tool. Which is nice, but misses the tool-for-everyone dream of the original

I'm interested in how you found the transition from physics to EE. Did you target any particular "entry" jobs in the industry that were more genial towards physicists for instance? I'm a physicist with some electronics experience and I've got the idea to move into some EE-related field one day.

And +1 for Art of Electronics, it's the bible for physicists working with electronics.
For practicing day-to-day medicine, programming is useless. However, for a medical student hoping to become an academic it's a highly important asset. Others and even more fundamental assets are to have solid knowledge of epidemiology and statistics. Essentially, if you want to stay in the academic system you'll be slaving under older academics for quite some time. Being able to hack together a dataset from csv with a bit of R in the mix will make you a godsend to those people. Be aware that this advantage comes at a high price, as those people usually understand nothing and will attempt to pressure you into doing impossible/unethical things (extreme p-hacking, etc.).

Now, doing anything more than shitty statistics or code-monkey javascript is almost impossible due to other constraints. In medicine, almost every system is totally locked up. There are of course exceptions as some students will go above and beyond, but the yield in terms of work/achievement will always be poor. It's far easier to just fill in excel spreadsheets and publish lots of shitty papers. Much to my dismay.

As for the sibling comment speaking of abstraction I'm sorry to disappoint, but no. Current medicine is far from being hard science. You cannot approach it like a formal system (yet). These days, docs are still far closer to gardeners than they are to programmers or any kind of engineer.

That said, you can find use cases for programming in any specialty. Sometimes it will be more obvious than others:

Image analysis -> radiology

Statistical genomics -> genetics

Dsp -> anesthesia

...

But anyways, don't get your hopes up too much. Students would usually be much better served by learning to care for people. And that doesn't involve programming.
There’s some really great SCPs on there, I go through the top rated ones every few months. Some very creative and well thought out pieces.

I have a feeling like the developers of Control (the video game) were heavily influenced by SCPs.
As someone who survied a BSEE, the range is too huge. I work with digital design as my day job, I only intuitively use EE101, digital logic and computer architecture and occasionally analog when dealing with post silicon issues.

The OP wants to study EE because he has a specific goal. My suggestion was that instead of trying to study everything EE focus only on those subjects that are relevant.

For example: If I was interested in robotics , I would not bother with digital,RF or Analog or eveen communication systems. I woud primarily focus on Control Systems and Embedded Systems.
I think a better question would be, why are they solved in most countries in Europe but not in the US?
Those who are alive have genes that have survived billions of generations due to our ancestors' habitual vigilance for predators, prey and mates. We are hardwired to scan the world for those, whatever the channel. Our predecessors who got bored too quickly by massively repetitive scenery were less likely to become our ancestors.
But many 1st world populations continue to increase, despite (for some time now) sub-replacement fertility.
Nyxt seems amazing, but it's hard for me to imagine using a browser without Ublock Origin. I understand that it doesn't really make sense for everyone to support webextensions, and it's a huge amount of extra work, but it's just a huge barrier to adoption.

It's hard to trust the smaller browsers to keep me private online if there isn't something that gives me that same level of control over blocking. And there's a huge adblocking community built around this software that maintains lists, fixes websites, and it's just a bunch of privacy-focused community effort that is hard for any small team to replicate.

But aside from webextension support, Nyxt looks really exciting, and I'm glad that people are building browsers that are actually innovating in this space.
Is every startup hiring a lawyer who specializes in data protection laws? Publishing an impact assessment and waiting 8±6 weeks for permission to deploy? GDPR is the size of a novel and adds a lot of bureaucracy beyond not doing bad things. I think everyone in other jurisdictions needs to consider whether revenue from serving EU users covers compliance costs and risks.
East Germany only had about 15 million people. West Germany 65 million. So yes, it was an increase, but not like Germany doubled in size.

Also noteworthy, the Soviet Union dissolved shortly after, at the end of 1991.

OP I highly recommend you listen to this guy here, among all the replies here they have the most experience with what you are aiming for.
OP here - Thanks! I'll put back the optics courses I deleted then
Two corollary suggestions along the lines of what's already been suggested:

1) Fall in with a good crowd.

2) We all have a friend we shouldn't have and who is best avoided.
I've got some good free resource recommendations if you want:

https://wiki.analog.com/university/courses/electronics/text/... - An excellent free "Intro to Electronics" course from Analog. In fact, all of the courses on their website are pretty good, I would say comparable to what you would get at a university minus the TA support when things don't work. But /r/ECE or Stack Overflow can probably help if you ever end up really stuck.

https://www.analog.com/en/education/education-library/softwa... - Another from Analog, it's a great resource for learning SDR. It assumes you're coming from an EE background though, so it would be helpful to do the fundamentals first.

http://freerangefactory.org/pdf/df344hdh4h8kjfh3500ft2/free_... - Free Range VHDL is what my FPGA class used, and it's free!

I would also suggest playing with some ECAD software like DipTrace or KiCAD. It's generally not part of a normal EE curriculum, but really should be! Being able to draw a schematic or lay out a circuit board will be useful if you have any advanced projects you want to try at home. Especially with cheap fabs like OshPark it's a good skill to have.
>The paper's called Why Computers Will Never Read (or Write) Literature: A Logical Proof and a Narrative..

That reminds me of a more serious approach of that proof.

Roger Penrose's books, The Emperor's New Mind and the two sequels

The Penrose–Lucas argument based on Gödel's incompleteness theorem. From the theorem we know any mathematical system has sentences that the system itself cannot prove.
So computer algorithms, based on mathematical systems, cannot prove them either. (just like the Halting problem)
But humans can prove them like Gödel did.
Thus human intelligence is noncomputable and inherently superior to AIs.

That would also be true for novels, since novels can contain character talking about such proves.

But, Penrose takes it to the next step. The laws of physics are also a mathematical system and fully simulatable by a computer. But since the computer cannot simulate human intelligence as proved before, this proves that human intelligence is not described by physical laws.

That raises the question, if consciouness is not described by physical laws, ? Essentially it would appear as a random influence to physics (even though it is not actually random, just noncomputable). Now there is a completely random process in physics: quantum wave function collapse. Then he goes on, that consciouness comes from features embedded at the Planck scale in the spacetime geometry.

>4. Causal reasoning cannot be performed by machine-learning algorithms because those algorithms run on the CPU's Arithmetic Logic Unit, which is designed to run symbolic logic, and symbolic logic can only process correlation.

And I just wrote my PhD thesis about causal reasoning algorithms :/

Those are poor choices to copy.

Australia is far more investing.

As usual for American commentators biased politically they pick through the ever shrinking list of countries that did well.

To measure or failure or success in handling the pandemic we must also look a countries that did worse or about the same.

No country did everything right. Most did a lot of things wrong. Which is unfortunately to he expected when a global crisis breaks out.

There is no good reason why nobody was prepared. Lots of studies done predicted it.
As usual politicians were lazy and short sighed.
At every level of government

In so far as being unprepared at a federal level special blame befalls Obama and Biden.
They went through a small pandemic and had the dangers demonstrated to them in real life.
Biden likes to take credit for beating it.
They screwed up a lot and they got lucky.

You would have expected them to spend every waking moment following it to band sense into congress and the senate. Write executive orders. Increase funding in science and research.

Instead they did nearly nothing and did not even resupply the national stockike they had depleted.
They did order a lot of anthrax medication.

When Trump took over allegedly the Obama administration gave the Trumo administration a report on what a pandemic would be like and what to do. In the apparent hope that the Trump administration would do what they failed to to do.

The Trump administration instead did quite the opposite. I am sure nobody even read the report.
And we know what happened from there on.

I do personally place social blame at Omaba and Biden for the sole reason they lived it and it could have gotten very bad. This should under all circumstances prompted immediate change in focus. In spendig and in planning.

Their near total failure to try act responsibly became a fatal mistake that has killed half a million Americans.

Trump was a real estate tycoon and an idiot with no experience in government and no experience in handling a pandemic of any size. The chances of him getting all the preparation done was close to zero. So he stared from scratch when it all began. Not to forget a series of reorganizations and funding changes that in retrospect were horrible ideas.

A lot of the failures of the Trump administration were mimicked in other countries. Not that they took their lead from me orange there was just a lot of mistakes that got made.

I meant that you are not forced to use generics, you can use composition, boxing, dyn, etc. (And unsafe too, but PhantomData seems simpler.)

> For example, u64 and u128 are not From<usize> because...well I have no idea.

Because usize is not known statically, it's target arch dependent. Yes, it's silly, but that's how technical safety works. (Also, just as a silly technical counter example the AS/400 virtual instruction set has 128 bit sized pointers.)

There's no question about the need for more ergonomics. That's what this whole post is about after all. For example in some cases where currently PhantomData is needed the intent of the programmer can be easily and unambiguously figured out, but for this folks need to be at least sufficiently certain that this makes things easier, makes code readable, doesn't constraint later language evolution, etc. (If I understand correctly some associated trait bound enhancements will lead to more readable code, less PhantomData.)
It is not that clear cut. Stamping requires softer steel which can be bent in those stamping machines. However, softer steel kind of goes against the purpose of of the body parts in the car. If you use softer steel you need more of it to ensure it carries the weight of the car and handles the stress the car is expected to take without deformation. Existing cars and trucks probably carry a lot of extra weight just so that they can use that soft bendable steel.

There is another benefit to softer steel in that it absorbs vibrations. But this is less relevant for electric cars, because there are no vibrations form an ICE.

Furthermore, stainless steel is too hard to be used for stamping machines, so if you use stamping you have to worry about rust.

So it is very possible that the Tesla engineers did the math and figured out that if the body did not need to absorb engine vibrations, they could save a lot of weight and ultimately energy if they used casting.
"MySQL has an application base of people who prepare and use queries just once". Is it really likely that mysql is unique in its usage patterns? Isn't it more likely that the devs have decided to keep things simple because that's the historical story for mysql. For example it originally didn't even support foreign key constraints if I recall correctly (that's a while ago now of course).
> analog circuits

Can you expand on how analog electronics benefits in particular from a formal EE education? I build analog circuits (amplifiers, filters, power supplies mostly) very frequently in my job as a physicist. We have to care about noise so I've picked up a knowledge of how to deal with it in analog circuits. Is there some other area of analog electronics that "hackers" like me might not get exposed to, compared to an EE undergrad? I'm thinking of moving into EE and would like to work out the gaps in my knowledge. I also ask because I can see obvious reasons why your other example - RF electronics - would benefit from formal training but none for analog electronics.
You are not going to start anywhere near the area where you have to go "full custom". That is, you won't be spinning custom ICs, you'll be assembling custom PCBs from off-the-shelf components. Possibly expensive ones. But that $1000 OTS part is an insane bargain compared to any chip fabbed just for you.

First make your thing do something, anything at all. Second, make it do something useful. Third, make it do the right thing, the thing you need, your goal from the beginning. Only then should you optimize it, making it smaller or cheaper or lower power or prettier or.... This is the road to success in the "R" phase of R&D.

Yeah, those wide parallel connections were pretty much universally power/ground heavy for signal integrity reasons.
Artificial is when you’re aware you’re emulating someone, when you have to think “What would X do? How would they do it?” Once you don’t have to do that you’ve learned. Even if you started out as a perfect copy of the person you’re emulating your own experiences and mental and physical characteristics mean you’ll diverge from them. This is a technique for learning faster.
Tried something with Adalo. There was no optimizing or thumbnail creation of user uploaded images, so a instagram style feed would be hundreds of MB. The level of abstraction was great for a non developer, but common things like many-to-many tagging were a nightmare of janky workarounds. Their user growth is awesome but it's not ready for production imo.

Right now I'm working on https://taskfiler.com which is a list of to-do list apps. It's pocket > integromat > airtable > softer.io. still have more automation to build in, but it's fun to use a parked domain for something.

I would suggest adding Communication Systems by John Proakis. It is the seminal text for digital comms and should be included, given the plan's foray into SDRs.
In order to study something, we must first define the variables.

How would you define race vs. culture?
As scriptable as Nyxt looks, I imagine you could pretty easily wire it up to block a list of domains.
When you say talk to your fears, what do you mean? I have heard that before
Have you considered blocking on the DNS level with a hosts file or NextDNS?
Not me thanks. Terminals are a lot of weird code (even with a fixed width charcter set)
So most non-fleet truck buyers are older males. They have the money and they want a truck. There is nothing wrong with that. A lot of internet commentary about the scourge of trucks is focused on them being "mall crawlers" and that few people that own trucks use them for their purpose, as if there was only one true purpose for trucks. This is, frankly, a meme that exists mostly in online auto discussion bubbles.

In terms of folks making 80k a year buying 50k trucks (the Platinum is an outlier), resale is high and interest rates are low. The larger issue on the latter point is how sustainable this is for Ford Motor Credit Company. That's a complex topic.

The biggest knock I can think of on trucks is their interior materials are not commensurate for their price. That said the F-150 Super Crew is about as comfortable an SUV as you can buy. They are very reliable. They weigh slightly more than a Toyota 4-Runner and have reasonable gas mileage. All cars are much larger than they were 15 years ago. The Super Crew is extremely safe. Trucks are much taller than previous generations, which makes them seem outlandish.

I'm not trying to refute you, just adding color as to why things are the way they are.
In the past we worked on a system that used MySQL 8. We used UNION (not UNION ALL, but I assume it doesn't matter) in several places, applying it to improve performance as we described in the article. There were definitely cases in the system where one side of the UNION would return zero rows, but we never ran into any of the types of issues you're describing.
This looks amazing.

I've never used Common Lisp how common is it (heh heh)? I really enjoyed hacking around in Clojure, so I may have to pick it up. I'd love to hear from anyone who's done serious Common Lisp work. Why'd you choose Common Lisp vs any alternative?
We don't do this because it is easy, we do this because it is hard.
That's interesting, as my experience was the inverse of this; I started in the humanities and later became a software engineer. My background makes my complaint slightly different: it is common in postmodern thought to critique essentialism, and although these criticisms can have a lot of merit, postmodern thinkers can get very meta in their arguments. To the point where even the texts themselves evade essentialism.

The trouble with this is that, for better or worse, we typically try to get at the essence of things in the learning process, i.e. we search for fundamental patterns in the domain we're learning. So at the same time that postmodern thinkers are critiquing essentialist assumptions that we may hold, they are also using the text itself to drive this point home. But for someone new to this stuff, it makes it very hard to learn.

I believe that there is value in these ideas, but they need to be made more accessible if they're to become popular outside of academia. The tech industry would benefit from exposure to other domains like this; although engineering holds a lot of power afforded to it by economics, I've noticed a lot of developers fall into the notion that their domain is the one to rule them all, and that it is enough to understand the world in it's relation to software alone.
Why don't you go to Amazon and buy some books on brain-computer interfaces, start reading them and when you get stuck read the relevant electrical engineering information?

It's pretty easy to hide some questionable code or a questionable new dependency in a decent size PR, and even in a small PR if you're clever. You're likely to get caught eventually since your name will be attached to the PR, but especially if you use some kind of latent trigger, it's very unlikely it will get noticed beforehand.
Last I remember, the regulations start to become extreme past 40+ people.

So what you get is small businesses who choose to not go past that demarcation.
As a practicing EE / RF comms engineer, I will say that it is very obvious when you're working with someone who thinks that their EE coursework wasn't useful for the real world.
It might take a lot of processing before my brain can integrate this information well enough to formulate the next question!

What strikes me at first is that if this pattern is universal... then... well, it means that the THINGS that we think about - the exceptions, the problems that people encounter in their work and in their personal lives, come from fundamental aspects of numbers.

e.g. the power engineer who has to deal with spikes and outages; the pcb designer who has to deal with interference and cross talk, the plumber who has to diagnose a shaky pipe in an old building; the network engineer who can't fully explain latency; the spouse who can't synch with their partners mood; the athlete who surprises every now and then; the baseball team that should be winning but isn't...

And more specific to the topic, I wonder how world and country population forecasts are made. Do the models take account of Verhulst's dynamics?

What do weather forecasters know about this?
I didn't say that paying attention to memory use wasn't important. I was more just curious about what kind of task 512MB of RAM is limiting for.
