Metallurgy for Electrical/Electronics Engineers
Hello,

I've been a hardware engineer for several years and I've never been able to find a source of truth/guide into metallurgical considerations for wire harness connection systems or PCBAs. There are several best practices that I learned from old timers, e.g. gold plated contacts for communication signals less than 5VDC, no gold on signals greater than 100V, use nickel or stainless when dealing with salt exposure, look at the galvanic series and stay within 4 when mixing metals within a humid environment, etc; but aside from a 3-pg section of "Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering" by Henry Ott where he discusses galvanic noise, I have been unable to find a proper textbook or even certificate on this topic.

This is maddening, because I make million dollar decisions based on metallurgical considerations everyday which directly affect the reliability/expected lifetime of the products my employer manufactures.

Would you have any recommendations for material, coursework, or industry groups which directly deal with metallurgical considerations for electrical/electronic assemblies (wire harnesses, PCBAs, even motors and fans)?

Thanks,

Bangladesh has aboriginal people too. There is zero chance in hell we ever give back the land. Why should we view the British any differently?

The problem with your line of thinking is that it’s never applied equally. It always ends up with only white people being assigned moral agency.
This predates FIDO2 by at least a decade. SSO works great for everything except the root account, where you really do just need to lock it up tightly and make sure you know how to authenticate to support in a disaster.
Even if he was on tour, it’s conceivable that he had a lot of time in transit to kill.

I’m great at reading in cars but trains and planes are ok for me.
Eating three times a day is insanity. I eat lunch and dinner, and any more and I feel bloated all day.

Cutting out a meal also puts more free time in your day, which is nice.
ISBN codes too - checksum is base 11 so can be represented by a digit 0-9 or an ‘X’ in the final place.
Rust for Linux Workshop: The perils of pinning
Currently: use a hardware key or printed backup codes.

Passkeys: same, or one of the other participating devices.
Reputation based argumentation is pretty weak though. His reasoning may be sound but it is still highly speculative.

Speculating some myself, it's easy to see how a domesticated wolf could be useful for hunting, guard duty, or even offensive use. The nature of wolfs is that they are pack animals so they'd submit to a strong master. Probably, early hunter gatherers, would have encountered and occasionally killed wolfs in the wild. The chances of encountering a wolf with some pubs would have been non zero and it raises the question what a hunter would do with some pups after disposing of the mother.

Just speculating here but it seems that that's a story that just writes itself. From there to breeding animals is a small leap.

Do you seriously believe it was Facebook that caused the film to fail?
Is that the new rule of thumb - that no company should be allowed to acquire any other company if some customers are negatively impacted?
I keep a private list because sometimes people ask me for book recommendations and then I have something to refer to. I have found it's easy to forget on the spot all the things I have read.

I think people thought because software cannot really be scarce that it was immune to the flaws of capitalism but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I think Amazon Glacier should be considered the third or fourth backup. First being local, second cloud or distributed and then fourth as last resort off-site. Used when everything else has catastrophically failed.

At which point 100$ per TB isn't that bad.
"One does not simply walk into Mordor," Boromir says. "Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful."

I'd assume the great eye w/o all the distraction caused by war would've easily sniped the eagles.
I think the main reason for the discrepancy is that Nazis were active in Europe, which was culturally much closer to the US than East Asia.

For example, we have a lot more literature about the Holocaust than about Japanese atrocities in the Far East. One of the reasons is that the European population of the 1940s had much higher literacy levels and so there were enough people to actually write their experience down.

But it is also way easier to translate from, say, German or Dutch into English, than to do the same for Tagalog or Burmese.
Glacier is nice, but due to the cost of data retrival, people should use it as the restore of last resort.
Police can't just grab people as they choose. Removing someone is achieved by arresting them. That's how the police work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest

To arrest someone, the behaviour they're engaging in has to be criminal (i.e. chargeable).

Then the police can ask the prosecution service to charge them (the US equivalent of the DA I guess), which is the discretionary bit. This seems to be the thing you're taking issue with.

So although you don't realize it, you're basically saying you want to give the police brand new powers to grab anyone they want. That's an incredibly dangerous and seriously poorly thought out suggestion.
TCL said they're now making more money with tracking than with sold TVs. Just as comparison.
Wow, that Bird of Prey plane is gorgeous.
True, but I imagine that, the smaller the object, the smaller the chance that it will be hit/it will hit something, and a smaller amount of fragments that the hit can generate.
I hired my first contractor through his contributions on our product.

We talked and hit it off instantly. He's very passionate about the product and when he mentioned he is looking for work, I stepped up and hired him.

I'm so very happy about getting him onboard.
Thankfully we know the drill already - use burner phones when visiting privacy hostile countries.

Sad for how many traditionally "free" countries that is becoming true on border crossings
I want my transactions to have permissions. That's a feature of the system. What happens if someone fraudulent spent my crypto?

No fees on any credit cards I keep, except 1 which was waived this year when i called to change it to a free card.
I'm kinda curious how this ends up in the submission title, if I was submitting I'd be copy-pasting from the article which doesn't have it. Maybe the submitter uses a bookmarklet or extension?

edit: god I hope they do, ~200 submissions in the last 30 days :-O
According to Marcel Reich-Ranicki, not a committee. Which would have included more famous novels and less poems.

E.g. Boell's Katharina Blum is missing.
But also the modern classics are missing, such as Der Vorleser, Imperium, Austerlitz.
Unlikely. I doubt that state of the art video processing is available in hardware. There are custom finetuned neural upscalers and frame interpolators available for every kind of content.
It is not that bad price, when home and place of your offline backup burned down and google or whoever locked your account.

This dumb question has an important answer: accountability and longevity.

It's the same reason CIOs of large companies pay more to work with companies that provide a Service Level Agreement: their bosses (aka the board of directors) wants to know that there's someone smart who will pick up the phone if there's a real problem, 24/7. And someone to sue if things go south.

If someone is making excellent OSS contributions to libraries that you rely on, it is legitimately unsane to not try hard to hire them. It means that they won't be recruited by someone smarter, distracting them from further contributions. Also, if you bring these folks into your culture, it's almost always a huge win/win because they are already up to speed without training. They are already true believers, and you're rewarding their early belief in your vision by unblocking them so that they have their needs covered, allowing them to be even more productive.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more potent way to hire top talent. The idea that you are somehow getting ahead by not hiring someone who wants to be hired is probably the most expensive wrong idea you hold.

On a normal day I have a banana and black coffee, lunch is a super light sandwich or a cup of almonds, dinner is where it's at.

But man. If I'm bored at work, that 12PM - 3PM time I get ravenously hungry. It doesn't matter how much I've had before or after, the boredom just takes over. When we were in office I would try to play a quick game of ping pong or something to make it go away but my latest role has been remote forever and so I've had to find new ways to manage it (besides making work exciting every day...)

I think this is one thing where in person was better, because I could talk to people next to me and avoid that problem but in a fully remote setup I can't
2022 and scientists still haven’t figured out that most obese people are obese because they eat when they are not hungry ie appetite is a completely irrelevant metric.
I use rclone and Backblaze B2 for this. B2 used to be cheaper though not sure if that’s true with the new deep archive but it is much less fiddly and no crazy fees at restore time.

Rclone is also multi threaded so goes much faster compared to rsync
Yes, you can use existing blocks and IPs.

E.g. if you use the f4pga+migen+LiteX stack, this looks like this in the end: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/d36f98bf45c20e2f...
This doesn’t disregard that. It lays it out with some nice numbers so that it’s clear. It’s much appreciated.

I’m very happy to pay USD 200 if I ever need to retrieve a last chance backup. If I just want the data in no rush I can trickle it back over 20 months for free.
I don't have time to read it through but the EL strategy has 3,38 kilos instead of 3,33 kilos, so why does it state it is better to eat bigger meals in the morning?

So all in all, about a dozen kinds of strings.
Nobody asked me whether I wanted to participate in the economy either, yet here I am.
They must have hired that guy to design the UI for Windows Phone.
There's Torchlight Infinite (in Beta) if you missed it. Other developer though and yes, seems to have quite some P2W elements.
In general you can trust a “stop doing the thing” email blast that appears legitimate but should be highly suspicious of the same asking you to do the thing.
Plus you may not be working on exactly what they need from the project, but you already know the domain, the code base and the people. Even if they let you keep a few hours to do the stuff you were doing before, it's a net gain.
I interviewed the head of a group who funds crypto games and his take was that these types of games no longer get funded exactly because of that. They aren't really fun because they aren't really games.

+1. When I was writing down my list I was surprised at the books (and movies / shows / etc.) I had that I couldn't recall but was super happy to remember when I saw them.
Usually when that happens you are given a warning and a window (often of many months) when you can still access your data.

And, most likely you still have your original data. P(Data loss) = P(Bankruptcy happens dec 2022) x P(drive failure happens dec 2022).

The likelihood of the company going down one day, without notice, and, coincidentally, your regular data store getting trashed the next day is extraordinarily low. Absent some kind of end of the world scenario the two events are, for all intents and purposes, independent and low probability.

If you're planning for that scenario you've probably slipped over the line from sensible backupper to prepper.
I used Photoshop for 20 years and really tried to switch to Affinity, but holy cow it's so extremely different. I tried finding a good "Affinity for Photoshop Users" resource and wasn't ever able to before giving up on it and using photopea (which is great).
That's what they are checking with those tests. And looking at maglev trains, there will be less going wrong than humans navigating traffic.
This looks great for my son who is interested in science but shipping to Western Europe at $45 for a single $10 foldable microscope is a little too steep. Hope they can find a local EU supplier some time in the future.
> Cutting out a meal also puts more free time in your day, which is nice.

For me, eating is pleasure, so the more meals the better.
Arq does not seem to be in the same ballpark as Deep Archive with regards to pricing. Also I needed a Linux solution, they support Win/Mac only unfortunately (same as Backblaze).
Germany recently passed a law because of this. Providers who offer contracts over the internet now have to also show a "Cancel"-Button that cannot be hidden behind sub-menus. It's really great.
I work out a lot and couldn't thrive without 4 to 5 meals. If I can't work out for a few days for whatever reason, it is indeed possible I go down to 2-3 meals a day. I do not enjoy the amount of food I need to consume, wanting 5 affordable meals a day that contain a good amount of protein and aren't too unhealthy, one is quite limited.
If you're using a system with SELinux, your containers won't be able to use the same shared memory file. Which is relatively common, as CoreOS nowadays has SELinux by default.
The general idea is great but 14 days is wayyy to low to allow random addresses that have not been pre-approved to many any decisions about your account. And most recently emailed is also hardly the best metric to determine people you might trust.
> we as a software industry and incredibly privileged to be making the salaries we do, and this would not be possible without the existence of these companies, and the constant cycle of start-ups and buyouts

Unless you have seen another economy with functional alternatives, this is only ever a statement of faith.

We have found one local maximum. That’s it.
Definitely not enterprise-ready code but I'd say it's solid. Please point out some specifics.
>But the real problem here is the refusal to do basic and normal things, like depict people. That's not normal - it's deeply weird and tells us a lot about what must be going on inside Google's ai research effort.

Google is fighting a secret war against the Loab demon race that lives inside the high dimensional vector spaces. They've recently made incursions into our reality via Stable Diffusion.

I connected a simple energy meter to my old (inherited with a house purchase so don't know exact age) 720p non-smart plasma TV to an energy meter just to get an idea of its power consumption. It was pulling between 350-400W! For comparison my 10 year old 1080p LED smart TV pulls about ~90W.
The famous fox domestication experiment that was carried out successfully in Russia over 40 years [1], shows how many generations it takes (40) and what genetic changes occur during domestication.

What I also want to add is that some dog breeders in the late 19th century thought that introducing wolf genes into dog breeds would make better dogs. They ended up creating horrible dog breeds (that still exist) that have the shyness, anxiety, and distrust of wolves.

I ask myself the same question with regards to their Klarna partnership in Edge.

Are Microsoft really so hurt for cash they're willing to sacrifice their userbase for a few bucks? It seems crazy they'd stake their reputation like this, especially considering their corporate focus.
I'm not going to comb through MSFT's financials, but I'm willing to bet it involves Taboola backing a dump truck full of cash up to Redmond.
Hell, you should offer an internal bounty to any employee who reports “I got access to something I shouldn’t need”.
Which is relatively common if you're running a service on your k8s cluster with networked storage and SELinux enabled for your containers (CoreOS now has SELinux per default).

You'll either have to reduce safety and usability, or drop SQLite.
Well if the US can get over the stigma of paying student athletes, I hold out hope that one day PED use for therapeutic and quality of life reasons will be taken out of the bad things list. It’s getting closer with TRT, but still.

With proper medical guidance - just like starting a diet or workout plan considering heart and digestive functions needing to change - adding in a SARM or some other modern aggressive component can really do wonders in a shorter timeframe.

This is an instant gratification society and I advocate for a middle ground - old way is too slow, doesn’t show results, most modern way of surgery isn’t sustainable and is risky, so in the middle take a little from each. Work hard and better living through chemistry. And yes - it does take work to eat to fuel the machine - I’m not even on anything now and getting 50g takes effort and shakes and money for now. On cycle that would be 75 to 100 on leg days.

I still miss ostaribe but PJ Brain is a convicted felon now so yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s not too hard to find a juice doc in Southlake or something.
I use rsync.net's borg offering, which is similar (encrypted + deduplicated) but 17x cheaper (1.5 cents vs. 25 cents per GB-month, and also zero bandwidth fees). I think it's even less with the HN discount; I'm too lazy to check.

To be completely fair: since Tarsnap doesn't have a minimum order size, it's still a better value in the 0-6 GiB range.
Outbound traffic costs always cost the same regardless of your retrieval speed to API. If you only have a couple TBs worth of high-value data, this may be acceptable to you. It's far from being a universal truth though.

The Eleventh Virtue: Scholarship

My plan for this one was Alexandra Elbakyan (the Sci-Hub woman) in a library, with the Sci-Hub mascot (a raven with a key in its mouth).
Very interesting! Looks like we would need to upgrade our Workspace plan (and basically double our cost) to use this feature, which is not great, but it might be a solution.
She gives personal advice of course, which can be very specific for each case.

One specific example I can give you: Women find it important that you have clean, well-groomed hands. This is not intuitive or obvious to men at all, unless you know.

But I think the main problem is not necessarily the lack of information, but a more a mentality change. A lot of the men think "She has to accept me for who I am". That might be true, but it's not really relevant. You have to show what you can offer in a relationship. A woman doesn't start a relationship with you just because she all of a sudden loves you. No, she starts a relationship because somehow she gets some benefit out of that relationship. So you have to show what you have to offer. You like traveling? Maybe she wants to travel. You like a certain kind of music? Maybe she likes that music and likes to go to concerts. Or whatever.

Answering the question "Why would a woman start a relationship with you? What's in it for her?" seems a question that some men don't want to answer. I don't mean that they don't know the answer, I mean they have a problem with the question itself.
My parents and I were just talking about this.
We're all in agreement that the moment that diamond goes back to India (or any country in SEA), it will "disappear" and never seen again.

I envy your metabolism. I work out a lot as well, but have to skip breakfast each day or risk taking in too many calories. May just be a function of my age - in my mid 30s now.
Holy. ~2800 submissions in the last year (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...) and ~25,000 since 2008 (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).

~7 submissions per day for the last year, seems incredibly high. I'm lucky if I manage to find something interesting enough to be submitted in a week (I'm averaging 0.3 submissions/day for the last year).

I'm hoping for a step further, that it's just connected to some RSS feed and automatically submitted. But that seems bad on a different level.
Many terminals can do this, see a list based on SIXEL support:

This list is not complete, KDE konsole supports this too (and other formats) for example.
I'm on OMAD and I usually eat around 5-6pm when I'm back from work, I don't feel hunger anymore during the day but I'm curious how would it feel switching to OMAD at 8am. A huge caloric intake to begin the day vs a huge caloric intake in the middle of the day would certainly be a difference.
The linked page says Visit Britain claimed £500M, but couldn't justify those figures, and has internal documents showing tourism reduced for previous large royal events.

I don't much care about the costs, but it is a good demonstration of how opaque this part of government is.
>Plus the docs/tutorials tend to be more plentiful for GDScript.

I quite like reading tutorials in GDScript and trying to convert them to C#, I feel like it strikes a good mix between being told what to do while also getting to go off and explore the engine myself and reinforcing that same learning.
Yeah! when he mentioned making a timer by charging a cap and letting it discharge... that could apply to the ball position registers... it could also explain how they did various angles when there's no obvious multi-bit ALU.... varying dis/charge ratio...
If I recall correctly, Vivaldi has this feature built-in, though as part of the ad-blocking feature (the "Cookie" list is classified as "Ads", not "Trackers"). Vivaldi's list defaults to IDCAC and EasyList Cookie, though, so we'll have to see whether Vivaldi will continue to use IDCAC list or switch to other solution.

Come on. Twitter is bad, but not that bad.
Thanks, sounds interesting, will take a look. Do they store files 1:1 or do they create tar archives? Single files are quite ineffective on Deep Glacier.
> AWS is some kind of prepaid scheme

I heard from a friend who chose AWS to handle backups specifically because he prepaid for them, that presumably is already possible.
