Sounds like ultrafinism or actualism:

I was looking at the archived version [0], and I had a question.

Regarding their PCB design (visible on the bottom of the page, with additional details here [1], could someone explain why the optic part is separated from the rest of the board by a long, wavy connection?

(I am trying to learn more about PCB design ideas and principles.)

Thanks!

The Mnemonic (which I heard from Merlin Mann's podcast) is to approximate the pronounciation of "Csikszentmihalyi" as "Chick sent me, hi"

The probably won't be relevant to most people here, but one book that changed how I approach my work (as a physician) was "Sapira's Art & Science of Bedside Diagnosis". It goes beyond the basics of physical diagnosis and delves into the history and statistics of various physical diagnostic techniques. It even describes a few low-tech techniques and skills which have been forgotten in the US medical system because of high-tech (and more expensive) imaging or lab testing regimens.

Incidentally, I found this book referenced in this article: "Why Should Doctors Read Medical Books?" by Dr. Eric Cassell [0]

Hopefully we might see a new Stargate show being developed!
