    1. Your alternator is NOT a chargerThe alternator’s job is to supply the power needed for all electrical items on the vehicle, plus replenish the battery from the last start up. The alternator is not a battery charger so much as it is a battery maintainer. If the alternator has to recharge an overly discharged battery, the alternator will become over-worked, which will shorten its life.If you use your alternator to charge your dead battery, you will overheat the alternator during its charging process. The greater the amperage flowing through it, the higher the heat an alternator creates.Maximum Alternator Output Only Occurs at high RPMSAfter you start your car with jumper cables, the voltage regulator sees a discharged battery and commands maximum field in the rotor. But at 600 RPM, the alternator can only provide about 1/4th of its rated output. Let it idle for a long period and all you’ll do it overheat the rotor windings and burn up your expensive alternator. A 110-amp alternator can only output 110-amps at RPMS of 2,500 or more. So don’t even think about letting it idle to recharge the battery.A battery charger costs $40. A new Alternator $350Not exactly brain surgery, is it?The correct way to deal with this situation is to jump the battery (using a jumper pack is much safer than jumper cables) and driving it to a place where you can place a REAL battery charger on the battery.

      According to https://hyp.is/n7ZQpFF0Ee24ZbcIYA3xVQ/www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/comments/aoks7b/how_much_idling_needed_after_jump_start_to/ it is. Which advice should we trust?

    1. This was much more of an issue a generation ago, when your ‘74 Chevy Nova or ‘69 Ford F-100 had a 35 amp alternator. Any car made in the last 15-20 years will have a 75 amp alternator as a bare minimum, and ratings well north of 100 amps are common in larger vehicles.There’s dozens of amps of headroom to charge the battery at idle speed, especially if you turn off the lights, stereo, HVAC, etc. That said, it’ll charge even more quickly if you drive the car.

      This seems like more sound/trustworthy advice than the replied-to's advice/info.

    1. We read different texts for different reasons, regardlessof the subject.

      A useful analogy here might be the idea of having a conversation with a text. Much the way you'd have dramatically different conversations with your family versus your friends, your teachers, or a stranger in line at the store, you'll approach each particular in a different way based on the various contexts in which both they exist and the contexts which you bring to them.

    2. It’s very rare that a book gets outthere into the world that has nothing relevant to say toanybody, but your interests may be specific enough thatit may have nothing in it you need to know.

      Similar to Pliny's aphorism "There is no book so bad it does not contain something good.”

    1. E, por fim, o fechamento de creches e escolas e o isolamento social fizeram com que recaísse totalmente sobre as famílias as tarefas de cuidados, incluindo as tarefas domésticas, os cuidados dispensados às pessoas de alguma forma dependentes, acrescido do auxílio às crianças em aprendizado à distância. Como cultural e socialmente as tarefas de cuidado são vistas como trabalho feminino, as mulheres foram mais sacrificadas com o acúmulo de tarefas. 106.

    1. Citing Pliny’s “no book so bad,” Gesner made a point of accumulating information about all the texts he could learn about, barbarian and Christian, in manuscript and in print, extant and not, without separating the good from the bad: “We only wanted to list them, and we have left to others free selection and judgment.”202
    1. let me make a few comments if i may about time from nagarjuna's perspective there is no 01:25:52 time i don't think i can be more brief and how does he support that he says well when you're in the present moment there's no past and there's no future 01:26:06 if you dissect the present moment even to a more granular present moment some of that's going to be passed some of that's going to be yet to come and then you have even a finer more 01:26:18 granular present moment if you keep going on with that granularity you end up having no time you have no past no future and no presence so that's kind of in a nutshell some of the arguments or 01:26:32 logic that knock arjuna nagarjuna uses to establish no time now of course what he means is there's no absolute time there's no time on a some there's no essence of time um there is you know 01:26:46 time from the perspective of of of conventionality um cause and effect is reciprocal so when we have a cause we have an effect or we know there's 01:26:59 going to be an effect but also from the point of view of the effect the result we know that there must have been a cause so this reciprocality is something unique to the highest 01:27:10 school of prasannika majamaka uh within the fourth highest school of majamaca i just wanted to mention that to to round out one of our previous discussions

      Barry points out Nagarjuna's analysis of time leads to the conclusion that there is no absolute present, past or future.

      It is difficult to fathom the full import of what this means. If time exists conventionally but not absolutely, what are the implications of this?

      Also, there are Buddhist arguments that hold that there is no causality because A and B are different, how could A ever cause B? This has not been discussed here yet.

    1. I think RSpec should provide around(:context)/around(:all). Not because of any particular use case, but simply for API consistency. It's much simpler to tell users "there are 3 kinds of hooks (before, after and around) and each can be used with any of 3 scopes (example, context and suite)". Having some kinds of hooks work with only some kinds of scopes makes the API inconsistent and forces us to add special case code to emit warnings and also write extra documentation for this fact.

    1. Every work of art can be read, according to Eco, in three distinct ways: the moral, the allegorical and the anagogical.

      Umberto Eco indicates that every work of art can be read in one of three ways: - moral, - allegorical - anagogical

      Compare this to early Christianities which had various different readings of the scriptures.

      Relate this also to the idea of Heraclitus and the not stepping into the same river twice as a viewer can view a work multiple times in different physical and personal contexts which will change their mood and interpretation of the work.

    1. continuing curricular innovation

      I have never expanded my digital literacy via any curriculum process. In the classroom I have taught students how to raise and answer research questions with both digital and analog tools. I don't feel the need to have a separate curriculum for the tools. For example, I use Zotero as my digital database. It helps me seek, make sense of, and share answers to questions, but I could do quite the same with 3X5 cards just like Niklas Luhmann did with his zettelkasten method. Because there are so many glaring inequalities in digital spaces, I always teach analog and community processes first and digital literacies second. You never know when the electrons will fail.

    1. Nacieron así obras no lineales (o que se plantean suprimir la linealidad) publicadas en papel, especialmente durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX: "Examen de la obra de Herbert Quain" y "El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan", ambos de 1941, que saldrán incluidos en el libro Ficciones de Jorge Luis Borges, en 1944. Cien mil millones de poemas (1961), de Raymond Queneau. Rayuela, de Julio Cortázar, 1963. El castillo de los destinos cruzados (1973) y Si una noche de invierno un viajero (1979), de Italo Calvino. La vida instrucciones de uso (La Vie mode d'emploi) novela de Georges Perec, 1978. Diccionario Jázaro de Milorad Pavić, 1985. También, sin ser "alta literatura", aparecieron todo tipo de obras de Elige tu propia aventura o Libros Juego en los que la lectura se completaba con otros elementos más propios de los juegos de mesa: dados, anotaciones, etc.

      Otro ejemplo de este tipo de ejercicios no lineales de escritura y aportados al campo de la pedagogía, es la propuesta del italiano GIANNI RODARI, quien invita a la construcción de literatura infantil a partir de ejercidos tales como el de terminar una historia o construir historias colectivas. Gramatica de la fantasía, se constituye en una propuesta de construcción hipertextual analógica.

    1. Support for reading and writing MAFF archives was provided in the Mozilla Application Suite, Firefox, and SeaMonkey thanks to the Mozilla Archive Format add-on from 2004 to 2018. While the original add-on is no longer maintained, the file format specification is still available and can be referenced by third-party software to provide better interoperability.
    1. After Alexi McCammond was named editor in chief of Teen Vogue, people discovered and recirculated on Instagram old anti-Asian and homophobic tweets she had written a decade earlier, while still a teenager.

      Should people be judged by statements made in their youth or decades prior? Shouldn't they be given some credit for changing over time and becoming better?

      How can we as a society provide credit to people's changed contexts over time?

      This can be related to Heraclitus' river.

    1. Las grandes cantidades de residuos y de aguas negras generadas durante la obtención del grano limpio, son actualmente vertidas cerca de las despulpadoras, sin ningún tratamiento; en algunos casos, las aguas negras van a parar a los arroyos o lagunas y el alto contenido de materias orgánicas que poseen, causan la contaminación del agua.

    1. Literatura: Narrativa Hipertextual

      Hay un trabajo muy importante de la académica colombiana CARMEN GIL VROLIJK que se titula La Ruptura de las líneas, donde hace un recorrido por aquellas propuestas que incluso desde la prehistoria configuraban una lectura que no necesariamente era lineal, como la propuesta por la estructura del libro.

    1. It was in this conceptual frame that the behavioral picture seemed to negate the notion of drive, as a separate energizer of behavior. A pedagogical experiment reported earlier (18) had been very impressive in its indication that the human liking for work is not a rare phenomenon, but general. All of the 600-odd pupils in a city school, ranging from 6 to 15 years of age, were suddenly informed that they need do no work whatever unless they wanted to, that the punishment for being noisy and interrupting others' work was to be sent to the playground to play, and that the reward for being good was to be allowed to do more work. In these circumstances, all of the pupils discovered within a day or two that, within limits, they preferred work to no work (and incidentally learned more arithmetic and so forth than in previous years).

      Seems crazy that children would pick work over no work, however in this we can see that behavior negates the notion of drive (as stated in the paragraph) but seems to act separate. The experiment seems to show that people actually like work over no work!

    1. I first learned to love the functionality of Dave Thomas' annotate_models plugin (you can find a repo for it here). Later, when it became un-maintained and broke, I switched over to ctran/annoate. Then, when work on it waned and broke as well, I decided to write my own as an exercise.

    1. Nach einer Niederlage des Landes Berlin vor dem Verwaltungsgericht kehren die Schulen ab dem 09.06.2021 zum Regelunterricht zurück. Das gilt dann für die beiden letzten Wochen des Schuljahres vor den Sommerferien.
    1. Im Einzelhandel entfällt die Pflicht zur Terminvergabe und zur Anwesenheitsdokumentation. Damit müssen die Kontaktdaten wie die Adresse des Kunden zum Beispiel beim Einkaufen im Elektronikmarkt nicht mehr per App oder schriftlich auf Papier erfasst werden. Das betrifft auch unter anderem Museen, Galerien und Bibliotheken.

    1. Alle Gäste ab 6 Jahren müssen einen negativen Test vorweisen, der nicht älter als 24 Stunden ist. Die Tests können entweder in einem Testzentrum erfolgen oder unter Aufsicht des Gaststättenpersonals vor Ort. [berlin.de] Genesene oder geimpfte Personen müssen ebenfalls einen entsprechenden Nachweis vorlegen.
    1. Noch weiter als Berlin geht Brandenburg: Unter anderem werden dort sämtliche Kontaktbeschränkungen in der Öffentlichkeit aufgehoben und Tanzclubs dürfen mit beschränkter Personenzahl und strengen Hygieneauflagen wieder öffnen.
    1. Dort dürfen zweimal Geimpfte bereits wieder zu körpernahen Dienstleistungen oder in Biergärten. Der Nachweis über den vollständigen Impfschutz müsse den Betreibern schriftlich oder digital nachgewiesen werden. Diese Änderung gilt seit Sonntag, zunächst bis zum 25. April.
    1. Keine Privilegien für Corona-Genesene:  Menschen, die schon einmal an Corona erkrankt waren und inzwischen wieder gesund sind, profitieren nicht. Wer geltend macht, er sei dadurch vor Infektionen geschützt und die gleichen Rechte wie Geimpfte verlangt, kommt damit nicht durch.
    1. Denn der aktuelle „Musterhygieneplan Corona für die Berliner Schulen“ erlaubt wieder Chorproben, „sofern der Probenraum groß genug ist, dass zwischen allen Sängerinnen und Sängern ein Mindestabstand von zwei Metern eingehalten werden kann“.
    1. Ausnahmen gelten zudem für Menschen, die aus beruflichen Gründen reisen und zu systemrelevanten Berufsgruppen, etwa aus dem Gesundheitsbereich gehören. Auch Personen, die Verwandte ersten oder zweiten Grades, Ehegatten, Lebensgefährten oder Personen, für welche ein gemeinsames oder geteiltes Sorge- oder Umgangsrecht besteht, besuchen, müssen nicht automatisch in die Quarantäne. Das gilt auch für Beistandsbesuche für schutz- oder hilfebedürftigen Personen, Patienten mit dringenden medizinischen Behandlungen und Durchreisende.
    1. Das Berliner Verwaltungsgericht hat die vom Senat beschlossene Sperrstunde gekippt. Restaurants, Bars und die meisten Geschäfte mussten zwischen 23 Uhr und 6 Uhr schließen. In dieser Zeit darf jedoch weiterhin kein Alkohol ausgeschenkt werden
    1. Wer ein professionelles Umzugsunternehmen engagiert hat, das sich an die Hygienevorschriften nach dem Infektionsschutzgesetz hält, kann den geplanten Umzug weiter durchführen. Für private Umzüge gelten die Regeln der Verordnung.
    2. Ausgenommen davon sind:der Besuch bei Lebenspartnerinnen und Lebenspartnern, Alten, Kranken oder Menschen mit Einschränkungen (außerhalb von Einrichtungen) und die Wahrnehmung des Sorgerechts im jeweiligen privaten Bereichdie Begleitung von unterstützungsbedürftigen Personen und Minderjährigendie Begleitung Sterbender sowie Beerdigungen im engsten Familienkreis
    1. Darf ich den Hund gassi führen? Ja, auch das ist in Ländern mit Corona-Ausgangssperre erlaubt. Hundehalter sollten dabei berücksichtigen, dass sie nur einzeln auf die Straße gehen, sich nicht weit von Haus oder Wohnung entfernen, nur kurz spazieren gehen und Abstand zu anderen Menschen und Tieren halten.
    1. Zwischen 21 und 5 Uhr darf man die eigene Wohnung oder das eigene Grundstück nicht verlassen. Ausnahmen gibt es, diese sind aber stark begrenzt, etwa auf die »Abwendung einer Gefahr für Leib, Leben und Eigentum« sowie die Fahrt zur Arbeit. Auch der Spaziergang mit dem Hund soll erlaubt bleiben.
    1. Tagsüber dürfen sich dann nur noch Angehörige eines Haushalts plus eine weitere Person zusammen aufhalten. Auch hier werden Kinder bis 14 nicht mitgezählt. Zwischen 21 und 5 Uhr sind dann gar keine Besuche mehr erlaubt.
    1. For example, Database Cleaner for a long time was a must-have add-on: we couldn’t use transactions to automatically rollback the database state, because each thread used its own connection; we had to use TRUNCATE ... or DELETE FROM ... for each table instead, which is much slower. We solved this problem by using a shared connection in all threads (via the TestProf extension). Rails 5.1 was released with a similar functionality out-of-the-box.

    1. Few real decisions to make....Not in my experience, either in tile placement or in disk placement. Of possible interest is the thread:Informal experiment: how easy to find "the optimal disk placement" in various positions?wherein we see that even in the second phase, which people often complain is "automatic" or "obvious", the decisions are not necessarily obvious.
