I've done this twice on different laptops. It works like a charm :)

The explanation I got when I did it the first time was this: When the computer heats up and gets cold a lot, over time the solder joints on the motherboard might "crack", or something, effectively giving loose conncetions. By heating the joints in this controlled manner, the metal melts and solidifies properly when cooled down.
oh, comeone! I didn't say I can't/don't want to learn anything. I just said that learning barrier in case of Emacs specificially is too high for me. I don't want to spend that much time on code editor. But it doesn't mean I don't want to learn at all.

To be more specific, if Emacs would have more familiar keybindings for Windows/Mac users I probably use it. For example from the manual http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~br/courses/cs699-autumn2013/refs/... :

> C-e end of line

Why not just "end"?

> M-v scroll down one page

I would like to use "page-down" instead.

> C-Space Set beginning mark (for region marking for example)

Really? Why not just press "Shift"?

ok, ok, I know that old keyboards didn't have all these buttons, and also Windows "familiar" key bindings were defined much later. So Emacs and Vim developers did what they did. But why should I spend so many time in learning all these oldschool workarounds?

Yes, I want terminal-based editor. But the rest of the killer features of Emacs or Vim are not so unique these days. I can obtain near the same level of functionality and flexibility in any modern window-based editor such as Sublime Text or IntelliJ Idea. Currently I'm using this one as my primary code editor - just for text, not for Java. And I find that it has even wider range of handy code manipulation commands than Emacs provides.

So, returning to my question. I would prefer to choose terminal-based code editor. And it is ok if it will be differ from the editors that I use - I'm ready to spend time in learning new stuff. But I'm not ready to learn code editor completely from scratch. That's why I rejected Emacs. ok, maybe I was wrong, so I would like to hear your opinion.
I would not say that "network access" is a benign permission. Perhaps checking the state of the network is, but not full network access.
There's a lot of people who still suffer with bandwidth caps. I have 3TB stored on Crashplan but I still get nervous about that. Companies have disasters or go out of business all the time.... I'm considering moving to bluray + bank safety deposit box. Depending how expensive these discs are, they may be an option also.
Not sure if it is real reflow, doesn't seem warm enough. Maybe some contact point was not optimal, and by heating everything and the expansion resulting from it there was some repositioning causing the contact to work properly again. I'm assuming this because we had a similar, but inverse situation once. There was a small soldering problem that would only manifest after the PCBs got heated >50C.

But in the end it all comes down to luck, it's not like 'heat it' is the new tool that will fix all. (My MBP had a swollen battery, wouldn't dare putting that thing in an oven)
In the early 90s, I traveled from St Petersburg, Russia to London's Victoria Station. I'm pretty sure the route does not exist any more, as it involved going through all the Baltics, Poland, Berlin, and eventually the Oostende-Dover ferry and on to London. All in all, it took about three days (including a 12-hour layover in Berlin).

It's also so slow to retrieve the content that as a DR strategy it's not very good, since you could be waiting months to recover all your data.

I would imagine that a silo with multiple robots to place disks in many readers would be significantly better than tape in most ways, and would retain the low power advantage that tape enjoys over powered systems.

Short circuits are sometimes fixed by melting the solder.

Surface tension tends to keep devices attached to the printed circuit board and the solder on the pads.

It's not something I would try except as a measure of last resort.
Depends on the alloy, tin/bismuth will melt around 140C. I would've expected over 180C to be necessary as well though. Sn63Pb37 is very common and melts at 180C, but since it has lead I don't think it's used much in large scale electronics manufacture.
So, first reflow your motherboard, then bake some bread, get all those toxic flavours in? (Wondering if this would somehow ruin your oven..)
The platform is stable. Most of our investment to this point was in building a very solid foundation. We're using Postgres + S3 for storage and Go for the API. So our core is built on solid technologies that are well known and established, with only Go being a potentially risky bet as it is relatively young.

On your observations:

#1 Were you not signed in? Is this the sign-in popup? We don't use pop-ups anywhere except for the sign-in dialog that uses Persona. If this is the issue then it is one more thing to add to the now growing list of things we'd like to improve about how the Persona UX integrates with ours.

#2 We know that we will add more SEO oriented URLs, but this will require us doing it once and never changing how we do it. Which basically means that we want more content and to analyse that content to determine the most optimal strategy for building those URLs.

Google and others penalise harder for duplicate URLs reaching the same content than they reward for nice SEO friendly URLs. So when we do this, it will be done in a way that constructs a canonical SEO friendly URL for content and that is the one and only URL that will ever reach the content.

We need to get this right when we do it, because it will affect placement to make changes once it's done. We know that during the life of a forum content is moved, edited, and some content has liability in a title and we need to provide a way for that to change.

What I'm saying is that content is temporal and URLs are permanent. Whatever our strategy we need to strike the right balance here without making the UX weird for the end users.

In the meantime we are focusing our effort on ensuring that the HTML we produce is marked-up well, such that headers and titles are given due prominence, that we use schema.org microformats, etc. And we will soon add an API for sitemaps.xml files.

We'll help your content get indexed, we'll help you stay indexed, we'll help the unindexed content be discovered... but what we aren't going to do is rush in and create a potential fragility or weakness with the content that is already indexed.

If you use a temperature hot enough for reflow (200C or more, according to andyjohnson0), is there any risk of heavy components on the bottom side falling off?
There are a couple of books on the CIA and special forces operations on Afghanistan prior to the invasion. You can see how with some dozens of guys on the ground, some air superiority and some millions to buy loyalties, they had Afghanistan under control in 2 months.

The problem is that the Army and the Marines wanted their part of the cake (National revenge and of course the glory), that pressure from the pentagon is what forced the invasion and the current situation.

Most Afghanis wanted a change from the Taliban, they were ready to support a different Afghan government, the problem is that they hated even more a foreigner hanging around with tanks at their homeland that they hated the dumb and abusing Taliban.

Tried it on mine, no luck. Basically it didn't run properly because the resistance of the fuse was ridiculously high resulting in a voltage drop of almost 1V. Meaning I had to power it with a 6.5V power supply. Well, you don't find those easily so I just got rid of the fuse.

I think one of the first things we need to look at is the poor quality of a lot of new housing developments and the number of unoccupied / 'brown-field' that could be renovated and provide much more affordable housing than the over inflated prices of new properties. I still fail to see why the ideology of a more unrestricted free market economy would be of any benefit to the property market. In fact I think fewer restrictions would worsen the situation with many buying new houses that could become effectively worthless where for example they have been built in high flood risk areas.

I agree the economy should be less reliant on the housing bubble, but I'm not convinced that technology / start-ups are the only way to achieve this. The 'start-up' hubs you mention are just as likely to become another black-hole which the government throws money at with no real strategy in place.

The reason I use Google docs is to use Google to fetch and do the rendering for me. I don't include images in my spreadsheet but I certainly think some people do. It's a feature.

Moreover, the issue is not about the feature, it's whether Google should limit the number of requests made per image. From other comments it seems like Google is hitting each image hundreds or even thousands of times. I suspect this is for cache? If that's the case, Google should look at better way to handle it. A single fetch and propagate to closest zone should be enough. But this is not a reason to limit the feature (eliminating parameter query).

Let me try, quoting first sentence from Mark Rippetoe's book "Physical strength is the most important thing in your life."
> In games like Clash of Clans, etc... You can play without paying. But it is just depressing to have an opponent attack you, where you can tell that they have effectively bought their way in. They didn't spend the time to effectively build their city, wait for their upgrades, etc... instead, they just bought a ton of gems and used that to make their city.

I don't really see the problem there. It's no different from players who simply got in earlier and got a head start. Games where some people join later are unavoidably going to have these kind of inequalities. To me, it doesn't matter if someone is stronger because he played longer, or because he bought his way in.

But if he bought his way in, he's probably less experienced than his strength suggests, and I might be able to defeat him despite his theoretical strength.

And MtG is far more evil in this regard. That one rare card in every pack is exactly meant to drive addiction, and get people to pay one more pack hoping for the rare card they want. In a way, MtG pioneered the pay-to-win game play, and plenty of people resent it for that reason. Though, in its defense, Magic's success may have been an accident; they may not have been intentionally taking advantage of addiction, and many of these modern mobile game companies definitely are.

But the main difference is that in the end, Magic is fun. If you just play opponents with a similarly limited collection, playing with less cards may actually be more fun than having everything. But many of these mobile games are intentionally designed to be less fun, to have lots of micromanagement and tedium with very little actual game underneath, and you can pay to skip the boring game play.
Hm, I stand with Diogenes Laertius on this: "Moderation is best".

The biggest problem is that these games are categorized as free in app stores. This is false advertising.

A new category (maybe called "freemium") needs to be set up for games like these, so we can avoid them wholesale.

If I log out of Skype every time after use and Skype doesn't even show up in my battery statistics, does that mean I'm not affected by the bug, or could Skype's battery drain be hiding behind those system services?

Magic absolutely pioneered addiction-driven gaming. The booster packs with one rare, and buying one more for just a few bucks might give you just that one rare you really want, that is absolutely addictive.

The only real difference is that underneat it al, Magic is still a fun game, while something like Hay Day has no actual game inside it, other than mindless tedium. But it looks nice and you can see how much nicer other people's farms look, and you can pay just a bit to skip some of the grind to get there a bit quicker.

yup. my nexus 4 battery was getting drained by something called mediaserver, and after a quick google search it was google now and google currents; which had absolutely ridiculous sync rates murdering my battery in a span of 2 hours. A thing to note is that when a significant portion of the CPU is being used on the nexus 4, the phone gets REALLY HOT. Untouchably hot. Leaving the phone in my pocket was actually burning my thigh.

The value, like with anything else, is simply what someone will give you for it. It's psychology. There is no hard calculation you can do to arrive at the 'value' of a bitcoin.

The trust between the nodes and the network may be a factor that informs some people. Some people will use it because they consider it to be free from central control, or anonymous, or because "Hey! Computer Money!", or simply because they have a gut feeling it's the next big thing.

Well, here in Portugal - and I know there are other European countries doing the same - our national ID cards already include a public/private key pair and can encode and sign stuff using standard APIs. You can already login on some governmental websites (e.g. IRS) using it.

That said, I worry about having a single, State-granted identity; there's a reason why assigning a single number to each citizen that links all their records (health, criminal, etc) is unconstitutional here.

I wish we could have a vouching system instead, where people and organizations could certify they do business with identity X. Something like Convergence[1] but for people instead of websites.

Only slightly related, but I feel (I do not yet have the experience) that 'auto' is going to make the lives of those reading code 10x harder, for the benefit of those writing code to have to think and type tiny amounts less, and for the writers of template libraries to have to think 10 times less. Especially that last part concerns me great amounts.

I'm not looking forward to the first time I will have to work myself into a code base build around heavy 'auto' use.
Fair enough. I'm less familiar with the Bruno case, and there's no denying that the church did or supported a lot of really attrocious things.

It's just that the Galileo case often gets trotted out as an example, when the church was actually remarkably scientific in that case (they didn't accept Galileo's circular orbits because they didn't match the observed positions, caused by elliptical orbits).

Most of the newbs are afraid of these exercises and they are right to do so, because if you don't do it right you can have some premium level traumas. The gym I started in had at least 2 professional trainers at all times circling the floor and correcting, advising everyone. Unfortunately most of the western gyms nowadays don't use this approach and instead offer "everything or nothing" - either train without supervision whatsoever or pay a fortune for a personal trainer.
For how long have browsers defaulted to 16px? By how much has the average resolution increased in that time? I agree that it's best to leave the base font size at the default, but I also think there's an argument for that default to be increased.

This sounds like a BGA issue. They also had the on PS3/4 and XBox if I'm not mistaking.

The chip has a grid of small solder balls on the bottom instead of pins sticking out. Due to thermal differences during operation some rows can experience mechanical stress due to uneven heating of the device. When there are cracks the contact disconnects from the board. Some images here:

http://www.playbackups.com/Playstation3-xbox-360-repair-repa...

When it's cooled again the contacts join, placing it in the oven applies an even thermal load across the entire board and you basically anneal the cracks.
I was just about to point that one out. I was more than a little surprised by their assertion that "the Flying Phantom is the first product to bring the levitation experience to the commercial market".
Eh, I believe it. 45 minutes a day doesn't count the trip to/from the gym, post-workout shower, changing, etc., and really, the people I know that actually get results from going to the gym end up spending way longer than 45 minutes there. 2-3 hours isn't unheard of. I only really say any of this because I feel like every fitness-related internet post has been along the lines of "no more excuses; if I can do it, then anyone can," which apparently isn't working.
That's just nitpicking. Maybe the GP could have said "The model of the ANSI/ISO way is the best way to standardize technology.", but the sentence after that described in a very apt way the vast majority of "standards" not build by a formal committee, with actual travel budgets and a commitment to make things work for the medium term (10 years, at a minimum).

No design will please everybody of course. For me it was just about right.

So the question becomes - what is the best for the majority. What makes a useful default.

Over the years doing usability tests I've seen far more complaints about text being too small, along with no complaints but obvious problems (watching people move their head closer to the screen, etc.).

Putting that together with the fact that almost nobody in the "real world" knows how to zoom in or out. That there are lots and lots of people whose eyesight is not even close 20/20. That as age your pupil size decreases and you just get less light into the eye (see http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm/ref/collection/EHSL-Moran-Ne... for example). That a bunch of research work on font size and legibility has been done (see the sources on http://guidelines.usability.gov/guidelines/113 for example.)... and I'd rather err on the size of slightly too large than slightly too small.

Again and again I come across designs put together by a designer in their twenties with 20/20 or better vision that just fails miserably when used by "normal" people.

And it will certainly not please everybody. No design pleases everybody. There's a huge amount of non-utilitarian stuff around how people react to designs. Just having things be different from "normal" can cause folk to react badly against something.

I sometimes wonder if the approach some developers have to typography is driven from us spending so much time looking at code full of of long lines where getting the most text possible on the page is utilitarian in ways unrelated to just reading from top-to-bottom.
