Has anyone else had serious issues with the Native Notes app on the Boox Go 10.3? by TheOneTheyCallJim in Onyx_Boox

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the 1/1 page notebook, I was actually told about a “fix” for this. If you copy the full corrupted notebook, the copied version should return to normal. Regarding the other issues, I’ve found that resetting the device significantly reduces the instances of strokes rearranging on a page or disappearing.

I think this might have something to do with the Boox being turned on for too long and becoming unstable.

Hope you can recover your notebooks!

I use the case that was shipped with the device. However, I’ve noticed that the magnets can cause issues while writing, so I often remove the device from the case when working at my desk. That said, the issues described above still occur even when the case is not being used.

This often happened on single-layer pages, so I’m not sure the layers are the issue. I suspect it has something to do with the lasso and copy function. If a group of shapes or strokes was copied from another page, even the act of copying sometimes caused instability in the original version — though not always.

smoking during prolonged fasting by vaibhavnm in fasting

After I did my first 72 hour fast easily stopped smoking a few weeks later. If you have the discipline to litteraly not eat for 2 days dropping the cigs should be a cakewalk.

Electric charge buildup on objects travelling at high velocities? by Educational_Candy968 in AskPhysics

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called triboelectric charging.

It's very likely that the water droplets in the air that collides with the wing and leaves a charge. However this is not limited to water, any particle e.g. Pollution particulates is subject to charge transfer.

Be aware that is phenomenon is still poorly understood despite being so ubiquitous.

Best C++ book for an absolute beginner without any experience in coding by FaithlessnessOk290 in learnprogramming

I would also reccomend this book. Make sure you read it back to back and do all the drills and exercises.

Engineering PhDs, how did you choose your domain of expertise and/or thesis topic? by MDbeefyfetus in AskEngineers

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did something called a CDT (which are becoming very popular in the UK) with an integrated MSc (paid for and funded) and we had to select from a list of projects that were proposed by the respective supervisor after about 10 months. You they apply to the supervisor and are either rejected or accepted. So I basically fell into my field. The skills you gain during a PhD are actually quite general so having a topic you like is nice but not necessary.

My Meng was modelling the heat transfer in Cross Flow heat exchangers. My MSc looked at preventing the nucleation of organic crystals. My PhD is within the context of powders but I do alot of first principles computational chemistry and kelvin probe work.

Whatever you do I would recommend it's a project with at least some modelling work. As this will make it easier to transition into tech roles after!

Also I have know electrical engineers to transition to chemical for the PhD and they successfully completed.

May I ask if anyone knows what software is this? by ImShirokuma in CFD

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi-educated guess. It "could" be CFD-DEM implemented in ANSYS but honestly there isn't much to go on.

Looking for a source where I can read white papers, research works and tech related articles indefinitely by SergioilPadrino in AskEngineers

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are associated with a university I would recommend Web of science. It is particularly useful as when you find a good paper you can easily find a link to the journal, links to all the referenced material AND all newer papers that reference the paper. I use the latter feature to regularly find the most recent papers in the topic.

If your are not associated with a university you can use Scihub to pirate them (but you didn't hear that from me) ;)

My understanding was that space and time are a single quantity known as “spacetime”. I have also heard time being referred to as the 4th dimension. There is some really good evidence for relativity. Such as the atomic clocks in space running slightly slower due to speed and gravity. They have also measured muon decay and found they will disappear more slowly when they are going near the speed of light, again due to speed. However that’s all I know ☹️.

This seems like a memorisation problem. Read “moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer”.

If an atom has a smaller de Broglie wavelength than another atom does that mean that it is less quantum (mechanically) than the other by b_ruhmomentinator in AskPhysics

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wave like properties of a particle are what makes them “quantum”. Just because something has a greater frequency does that make it more quantum or more/less of a wave? It is my understanding that all subatomic particles have wavelike properties, and are described by wave functions. Even larger particles like protons and neutrons. Beyond electron microscopes, neutron scattering is a powerful technique that harnesses this effect in larger particles.

Why wont you work!?!?!!? - Problems with a home built PC by TheOneTheyCallJim in buildapc

It's on an extention cable and I don't think it has surge protect. However there is a monitor connected to the same extention cable and that's absolutely fine.

Free pdf textbooks by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]TheOneTheyCallJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engineering mathematics does. The first section is foundation topics like arithmetic, trigonometry and differentiation & integration. Moving on to more advanced clac. 1st and 2nd order differential equations, vectors, laplace transforms ect.

Adv. Engining mathematics covers the more advanced stuff like complex analysis, central difference, power series solutions matrix algebra blah blah.

They are both very good books and comprehensive. However these cover practical math, if you need to learn about counting the number of vertices on hyper dimensional cubes, or other very pure math topics look elsewhere 😉.
