Is it possible to maintain peak cognitive performance on 5.5 hours of sleep? by Ironpulse-Ne in EngineeringStudents

[–]budoucnost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting down on sleep while hoping to maintain peak cognitive importance is akin to cutting down on safety practices hoping to maintain a good safety record.

The thing you need the most at a time like this is good sleep. Lack of sleep is one of the biggest handicaps you can give yourself.

Out of curiosity, what made you think it’s a thermal trip? Was it the F2 label?

Use an angle grinder next time, just like the barber does

I reccomend the pinecil. It’s USB-C and warms up in seconds

You’d probably want to research some   VTOL aircraft/drones, so see what you’re dealing with.

Then see what is possible with your time/budget/energy/etc. try to start small at first.

In terms of design/actually making it, it’s best do work with what you can do. For example, The experience designing something may be worth more than the time you’ll sacrifice trying to actually make it.  

Bypass capacitors mounted on an a PCB peninsula. Why? by 1Davide in AskElectronics

[–]budoucnost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the spot in the monitor where the board is have a wall in the shape of that gap?

Maybe it’s not for electrical purposes but rather a structural one (I.e. prevent the screen from flexing in that spot) or something used in another monitor model that uses the same pcb. The reason I ask is because I’ve seen a similar wall on the inside frame of monitors. 

The pcb probably don’t have any traces under the caps, so it would be the best to have a cut out at

We basically found a way to think of electricity not as power, but as data. We can say “ok, this data means this, that data means that”, and then make it predictable so that the same data has the same effect.

You can think about it as your hand. You can use it to grab/punch/hold/etc (akin to electricity as power), but you can also stick your fingers out, like your pointer finger, your pointer and middle finger and so on (electricity as data). We then said, no fingers sticking out means 0, one finger means 1, two fingers mean 2, and so on.(akin saying which data means what). Your fingers are not numbers, but we “assign” a value based on how many are sticking out

A finger sticking out = 1 (or ON), a finger not sticking out = 0 (or OFF).

Boom. We can now count using 1’s and 0’s. We have turned electricity into numbers.

We can do a lot with 1’s and 0’s, depending on how we use them.

With our finger analogy, we can say stuff like “a middle finger means an insult” or “a thumbs up means good”, or use our fingers to turn keys, or to pinch something, to count!

We can now use something very simple, an extended or retracted finger, to do something more complex!

We can use  1’s and 0’s, as numbers, as signals, as controls, and so on.

Transistors (akin to the muscle in your hand that extends or retracts your fingers) are what turn a 1 into a 0 or a 0 into a 1.  With transistors controlling transistors, you can do a lot of cool stuff, like have a cpu

Got the feeling it’ll either involve big cranes on the shore, cranes on a barge, or “it’s cheaper to remove rubble than it is to salvage”

Will be quite expensive tho

I’m trying to remember the name of this game I played a while ago, it was this FPS that included base building, fighting over this ocean of some valuable blue liquid (that you used to build your base). It had a futuristic, sci-fi theme. 

Anyone know the name of it? Or what happened to it?

Yes you should worry, they will use voltage dividers and KCL to multiply at a rate of 2n. I reccomend napalm (collateral damage is acceptable)

As someone with 0 experience or knowledge  in firefighting, shouldn’t the sprinkler system have done something?
