There are many books available that can help you learn basic electrical concepts and engineering. Here are a few suggestions:

"Electricity Demystified" by Stan Gibilisco
"Electrical Engineering 101" by Darren Ashby
"The Basics of Electricity" by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger & Neville, Inc.
"Electrical Engineering: Principles and Applications" by Allan R. Hambley
"Getting Started in Electronics" by Forrest M. Mims III

These books are designed to provide a general introduction to electrical concepts and engineering, and can help you to understand the basics of electricity and how it is used in various applications. They may also include examples, diagrams, and practical exercises to help you learn and apply the concepts in a hands-on way. I encourage you to read reviews and compare the content and approach of different books to determine which one is the best fit for your learning style and goals.

My supervisor for my masters was vehemently anti-helmet. Not anti-helmet law, anti helmet - was so viscerally opposed to them that he bought a tricycle to circumvent NZs mandatory helmet law and then intentionally goaded police into writing tickets so he could then say “the law says bicycle and this is a tricycle”.

Note that every study has shown that wearing a helmet reduces the likelihood of permanent injury, so while you can complain that helmet laws are bad, this guy was an idiot and believed that the act of wearing a helmet itself increased your likelihood of injury.
It will raise the bar for software development significantly.

GPT needs training data. Once a problem is "figured out" and there is enough information about it to reach a treshold where it's learnable by the AI, it will stop being something done manually.

There is reason to believe that most commodity software (e-commerce, content management, media asset management, any CRUD-with-makeup, infrastructure automation, etc) will be commoditized even further to the point that no software developer would be needed to create a product that leverages these approaches, or any reasonble combination of them.

Sure, there will be a need to guide the AI to the best solution. A need to harness it properly. Some software development skills will be needed for that, and my guess is that this will become a temporary occupation in the near future, either explicitly or not.

Eventually, there will be problems that large models can't solve. Not even partially. Stuff that has no training data and there is no way to acquire inferred knowledge about it. We'll know what that is only when the commoditization of what we already know is almost complete. My guess is that it will be something trivial but rarely considered worthy exploring, writing about or pursuing, but valuable. Some kind of impossible miracle software that will be not that impossible in the future (complete protocol/data portability, wide compatible standards across thousands of different systems, etc).

Or we all will have to learn how to flip burgers in a boring dystopia. That's a reasonable scenario as well.
This Articel is bullshit.
Helmets make cyclist more safe. It only reduces the total number of cyclist. And because of that there is less investment in cycling infrastructure.
But the scientific articel they are linking to says following

"
Do more people on bikes cause cycling to become safer, or does safer infrastructure attract more people to bike? There’s no conclusive evidence either way, but the answer is probably a mix of both.
"

So full blown clickbait...
Oops, I'd meant to specify, they are both 16".

How much does each level take home? Like if I bill out at $500 an hour are they paying me around 250/hr ~500k/yr?
There is some truth to what you wrote, but instead of getting into the weeds on the details, I'd like to take a step back and remind you of something that you might have already considered: creators have a strong incentive to mislead you about this kind of thing. When people think the little guy is getting financially shafted by The Man, they are more likely to do things like sign up for that channel's Patreon page, or join their membership program.

I see a lot of this, including by very large channels who know what they are doing and should know better. And it seems to be an increasing trend. I don't like it.
Thank you.

Do you have any suggestions for apps/tools that can remove distractions? Perhaps any you’ve used in the past that helped?
Is a single air Marshall more effective than an entire plane of passengers?

Post 9/11 a plane full of people is not going to let a guy with a knife take control of the plane. It is pretty unlikely that one Marshall is going to notice a suspicious person versus the 12 people sitting within 6 feet of them.

This is dumb. If Hertz closes down, other car rental companies will take up the demand, and Hertz employees will apply for jobs at those companies.

edit: and if people aren't punished at Hertz, those other car rental companies will see that the money to be made through bad behavior more than makes up for the costs if caught.

> It feels a bit like saying you could reduce your chance of toe cancer by amputating your toe.

Not disagreeing with your actual point, but we do actually sometimes opt to remove body parts if the cancer risk is high enough, because cancer metastasizes.

So in the hypothetical toe-cancer case, you might go from a X0% chance of developing toe cancer with a Y0% chance of it metastasizing to a 0% chance, which might be worth losing a toe over.

Swift Summer of Code 2022 Summary
It's 25 years. That's enough time for him to have a child and have him take over the mIRC business. It's a solo dev working on a piece of software since 1995, cut him some slack, jeez..

You're right about the expectations placed on trade. I just expect a different set of requirements from large corporations and small devs.
No, because if they bring in $10k in revenue from these donations, but then still donate $10k to the charity, their effective income isn't changed by the donation. Maybe they can stake a claim publicly to donating that much income, but that's all publicity (and shouldn't they stake some claim, since their efforts led to such an increase in funds donated to the chosen charity?).

The issue in this case is that CVS committed to a donation to the charity, then had customers pay that money on their behalf, effectively.
The advice being complained about also seems to leave out things like, there are 2 basic kinds of earwax, wet & dry

https://www.google.com/search?q=kinds+of+earwax

they require different care

Western medicine says "don't put q-tips in your ears". Japanese (and Chinese?) seem very different. You can find these at any medicine store in Japan, possibly even every convenience store

https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E8%80%B3%E3%81%8B%E3%81%8D/b?ie=UT...

they look far more dangerous than a q-tip

Here's a specialty shop

https://mimikakitei.com/

They also have sticks with cotton on them and one of the first VR experiences I ever had was of having your ears cleaned.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dlsite.nag...

also, also, here's a funny silly game about cleaning your ears

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.liica.mi...

https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/%E6%AF%8E%E6%97%A5%E3%81%AE%E8...

You drag the stick around until you find the hotspot (background changes when you're close). Then, once you find it you need to drag it back out. The joke is it either tells you how many grams if "ear-shit" you pulled out or you find some random silly item. In the Apple app store screenshots one card shows pulling out a dandelion.

Not that even in Japan, some doctors advise you shouldn't do it

All that said, my father told me he had a friend that lost hearing in one ear when he had a q-tip in and his wife bumped his elbow. I have no idea if that was true but it stuck with me and I although I use q-tips to clean my ears I stop if there is anyone in the same room.

> From the broken in a different way control panel

Broken how? Are you talking about the settings menu or the control panel? You can do everything from the settings menu now, why would you try digging up the control panel? Unless maybe you're a sys-admin maybe trying to do some corporate stuff.

>the lack of functional grouping in the start menu

Thee start menu grouping works fine for me. Have you actually used the latest release of Win 11, or are you commenting based on stuff you read on the internet?

>they broke another hundred things

Can you please name the 100 broken things? You named just two things which either aren't broken but more like you either haven't used or don't like how they are. But that's not the definition of broken.
It's a bit more complicated than that, they're suing to test the constitutionality of the law because it barred them from doing something they would've otherwise done:

Before implementing the notice, Smith discovered that such a notice would violate the Colorado anti-discrimination state laws that were amended in 2008, which prevents public businesses from discriminating against gay people as well as making statements to that effect. Smith, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, sued Colorado in 2016 in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, seeking to block enforcement of the anti-discrimination law. The district court waited for the result of the Supreme Court case Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission which dealt with the same anti-discrimination law. As Masterpiece was ruled in 2018 on more narrow procedural grounds, the district court ruled against Smith in 2019, as Colorado had yet to investigate Smith and thus there was no evidence that she had engaged in discrimination.[4][5]

Smith appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, which upheld the district court decision in a 2–1 ruling. In the majority ruling, the Tenth Circuit held the anti-discrimination law satisfied strict scrutiny under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, deepening a circuit split with decisions issued by the Arizona Supreme Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.[6] Chief Judge Timothy Tymkovich dissented in the Tenth's decision, writing "the majority takes the remarkable — and novel — stance that the government may force Ms. Smith to produce messages that violate her conscience."[3]

I know some people who still use Windows 7. The reason is simple: they don't want to fix what's not broken. 7 is also the last properly-desktop release, and it also doesn't put itself before the user.
Unless they were somehow able to keep the pilots completely unaware of what's going on, that wouldn't work. It's a pretty extreme response, and would risk passengers (assuming they're still alive), but depressurizing the cabin would pretty quickly stop any attempts to break into the cockpit.

Even if attackers could get to supplemental oxygen in time, those little bottles don't last forever, and there'd be an opportunity for crew and passengers to regain control.

I think there are other last-resort actions pilots could take to thwart a takeover, like engaging in extreme attitude/altitude changes in order to knock out the attackers.

Remember, we're operating under the assumption that if the hijackers win, everyone on the plane is likely dead anyway, so putting passengers at risk to stop them should be considered acceptable. The only way attackers can realistically win is if a pilot is duped into letting them into the cockpit. Not impossible, but that reduces the possibilities quite a lot.
"Clearly" isn't an argument.

Your second sentence is even worse. The pertinent point is that you'd be interfering with his preferred choice to work on mIRC.

Again, this is very debatable.
The way that screen readers and other assistive technologies subscribe to events is defined by the platform accessibility APIs. AccessKit simply sends the right events to whatever clients are listening. Note, though, that on both Windows and macOS, AccessKit doesn't send any events until the first client makes an accessibility request.

I want to provide Python bindings at some point. That would enable Kivy to implement accessibility, for example. Just haven't gotten to it yet. If anyone wants to step up and work on that, let me know.

I can find tons of examples very easily. The last link is a video of Fauci saying masks won't help and aren't worth it. At the time, if you said people should wear masks, you were 'spreading misinformation'.

https://www.cnn.com/factsfirst/politics/factcheck_e58c20c6-8...

"While Fauci, along with several other US health leaders, initially advised people not to wear masks, Fauci later said that he was concerned that there wouldn’t be enough protective equipment for health care workers. This was also early in the pandemic before public health experts fully knew how contagious the disease was and how it spread."

It was front page shit for two days, sorry. I think others explained it well enough but I still insist that it was perfectly relevant.

I can only assume that this is a 3rd rail of sorts for “Western” types who seem to be 100% anti-Iran lately, even though I remember about half a decade ago the same sorts of people were pro-Iran when it came to giving back their money that would eventually be used to fund terrorism, but would love to take Russia’s money for doing the same thing.

This is interesting to me, because water doesn't get stuck in my ears, ever. I can literally fill my ear with water and it flows right out as soon as I tip my head.

I don't have much earwax, but I do have an unusually large head 2XL hats barely fit), so I wonder if it's just that my ear canals are too big for surface tension to hold water against gravity.
> As a regular bike rider of 20 years, a helmet has protected me on exactly 2 occasions: once when I was training for racing and once actually in a race

That's their purpose, protect you when you need it, which is on average a couple of times in a lifetime.

If the helmet had protected you hundreds of times, probably you should have stopped riding a bike (or your friends and family should have stopped you).

If you heard someone say "the seat belt saved my life at least 30 times" would you or would you not think that that person is dangerous and should not drive?
Rules for Software Business Happiness
Not a fan of the new trend of zero window borders. I wish there was at least a way to make them customizable.
I also tried to get it to generate some simple code examples.

One was to generate a webpage with a button to add textboxes. Each textbox should have a unique remove button. When the site gets down to only one textbox on the page, it should not allow the user to remove the last textbox.

After several iterations, it wasn't able to do it, often with hilarious results! (I asked it to only remove the _selected_ textbox, but if you clicked remove, it would just delete all the elements from the site)

I think the real value for me would be using this to generate a starting point.

I have a text document on my computer that has a long list of small coding projects that I want to get to at some point. But the activation energy required to stop watching Youtube and start coding is high enough that several projects have languished in my inbox for years.

If I could just feed my ideas into chatGPT and get a starting point, it would be much easier to keep going and fix small errors/add additional features than to start a project from scratch.
Eh, I rather go by whatever a language one is speaking calls something:

For example, are you going to write in to Chinese radio and news outlets and insist they use English names for cities in Anglo north America and Spanish for cities in Latin America? They use phonetically semi-close analogues for major geographical place names[1].

What about Latin American speakers and their translations of US and Canadian cities into Spanish, is that now frowned? And who cares about what a despot says a country should be called (be they Turkey or Burma)?

Do I have to say Koln instead of Cologne, Roma/Rome, Espagna/Spain, Torino/Turin? Or Myanmar instead of Burma? But, whait.. what do I do when the locals have a dialectal non-official variant?

I believe the US flag is common to all EDLs, that's their version of the gold star.

What I meant by that statement is that Washington, unlike New York, only has EDLs available as a Real ID-compliant option. There are two options: "Unreal" DL or EDL. So there is no gold star at all for some states, they just have the US flag to denote something compatible with Real ID.

Randomized control trials are great, and doctors are sometimes wrong, but RCTs are not the only way to reason about things. As a contrast, there are no RCTs about the effects of poking yourself in the eye with a sharp stick, but it's generally agreed to be a bad idea even without this evidence.

>The jstat output also shows that CCS is at 99.21% usage, which could support this theory.

If the code cache is full, the cache sweeper will have more work to do, will run slower, and this cache is a linked list (afair), any attempt to create another C1/C2 optimised code will cause the allocator to treverse the list, try to find enough contiguous space, and fail, triggering an attempt to fragment the space. Occasionally, removing some less frequently used compiled caches.

This process isn't your normal GC process. If it runs out of memory and nothing can be removed, you're at plateau of how fast code can execute, but your JVM is consuming more CPU cycles, that means, you're losing overall performance. There is no OOM error here, it all fails and slows down silently. No exceptions, no logs, nothing but wasted CPU cycles. This is one of the worst aspects of JVM to monitor and tune. I don't know of any promethues-like metric exporters that can be used here, like in any GC activity or stack/heap metrics.

As I stated in another comment, try

`-XX:+PrintCompilation` and `-XX:+PrintInlining` and `-XX:+LogCompilation`. When this turns out to be filled, try increasing `ReservedCodeCacheSize`. This is out of your non-heap area.

This is not a very good article. What does "go to the border" even mean? If it means "act as border control" they are right to refuse, as it's not their job.

It plays with numbers in a sketchy way, as well. "5,000 incidents" out of how many flights? 148 arrested out of how many employed? "Between 2002 and 2012" but what about since then? "$200 million per arrest" but "deterrent effect is unknown".

That's really it for data. The rest are anecdotes. The "not trained" link was to a NY Post interview with a former air marshal expressing an opinion.

Maybe there is a serious problem with the program, but this article does not do much more than try to get its readers upset.
I bought a Steam Deck to get away from Windows entirely.

I'm not a huge fan of Apple for a lot of reasons, so eventually I'm looking to move to a Linux development environment, but at this point I don't think it's ready.

To be honest, I'm not sure what to do anymore. I hate the modern Operating ecosystem. I find little value in the additions, and the ever encroaching privacy issues is really problematic.

For now I can keep it at bay with MacOS and SteamOS. But where do I go after this?
If you're not familiar, read up on how things went down in Greece and Italy and dare I say, Argentina with their economic collapses. The concern becomes getting your money out of the bank and prices skyrocketing between the shelf and cash register. The good news is I think Greece (maybe it was Italy) got rid of their government for 18 months to cut wasteful spending. No government = no government spending which is where all the debt came from.

It shouldn't have to be so strange. While I don't know anything about Austria in particular, both fiscal conservatism and conservation have a lot in common, and there is a small government, efficiency focused version of a green philosophy. In practice, both parties end up generally diverging along ideological lines.
