It's kind of funny; I came out of school ready to design circuits with discrete transistors and they laughed at me. "Sure, that can work, but it will definitely work if you use this opamp." Much like we caution people not to

I use selenium similarly to drive a similarly awful interface known as costpoint. I would DEARLY love to know how to use the browser developer tools to figure out what is actually happening under the hood of websites without having to read

For non Europeans, this is referring to the time restricted fasting movement, where you don't eat after e.g. 6pm (aka 18 hours). There are a lot of fads in weight loss, probably because there is so much variety amongst us. Some people

Picking up TV and other RF signals near there should not be a problem. Modern transmitters are much different than in Marconi's time. Then they used a spark gap to generate RF, which have a DC to daylight kind of output that GP describ

I think that's not quite correct. Sweden didn't pull any lever at all. They advised their citizens but left them individually free to choose their own path, or pull their own lever. I would argue that's a different ethical ch

Meh. I have never heard of him before, but he has a clearly expressed idea which isn't completely unreasonable. I evaluated the idea on its own merits, and that's where I found it lacking. The man matters nothing to me, only his i

He's an economist, sure, and is proposing an idea that others can consider and, perhaps, study. I am not looking to this blog post as a source of treatment ideas but instead as a source of ideas. I've been reading about the import

Please, for God's sake, don't screw it up. I can keep up with news on this site from a 15 kb/s shared satellite link when I'm out at sea. Except perhaps for the really big threads. I love the simple interface. It's

As a kid I used to do that job. Paid minimum wage plus the occasional tip. The flight attendants and gate staff sometimes offer minimal assistance moving a traveler into a stair chair when the person cannot even get out of their seats, but

It's always a good time to exercise your brain in a different way. I started memorizing poetry while in high school just for the fun of it. Some I found motivational, some just silly - Jabberwocky almost broke me. Whitman - that man kn

Thanks for that. Looking at their site their hardware appears to be extremely basic and would benefit from some additional assistance. It looks like a fun project; I've always wanted to build an ultrasound. Think I'll take a crack

Amazingly, this happens even if you don't touch them. I bought a pair and misplaced them in my house. Around 18 months later I found them, unwrapped them and found the pleather coming apart. Seems like the very definition of a manufact

A much simpler explanation would be to preserve stocks of masks for medical personnel who actually really need them. It's certainly beneficial for your average person to wear one at all times - look at the declines in flu happening rig

On a plot of log(cases), per capita is just an offset. It shifts the line up or down on the plot, and doesn't make a difference. In a post upthread, mzs reminds us of the math: log(cases/pop) = log(cases) - log(pop) = log(cases) +

Excellent math. For those who aren't so comfortable with the mathematical notation, the point of this comment was that the log of the cases per capita is the same as the log of just the cases, plus a constant offset. This constant offs

By 10 they're able to work for extended periods with minimal help. By 7 or 8, a schedule will get the kids to only interrupt you every half hour or so. Before then it's luck of the draw. Newborns and toddlers are impossible. Lovel

Shift your schedule. Use nap time to get work done. Work after they go to bed. Putting the kids on a schedule has helped us tremendously but will have limited efficacy for a toddler. If all else fails, balance screen time for the kid agains

I think there's a huge distinction you're missing here. As a volunteer teacher or facilitator, you've made a personal commitment to a group of individual people. I think there's a difference between that and sharing code

I'm not sure that was the effect. The kids may have responded in the desired fashion after being struck by a ruler, but I bet they hardened their minds against that teacher. My parents hated the nuns who ran their schools like this and

I think this is wrong but I am not a biologist. Fish do not contain air, which is the compressible fluid which limits our ability to go to great depths unprotected. Water is very incompressible, and is most of what fish are. So I don't
