tak ~ none of my knowledge is appropriate even once

this is the first russian i learnt by virtue of my association with some russian engineers who came to install our purchase of computer. they were about 10 of them and they stayed more than 3 months.

the machine was very early production and it had lot of problems always. Many of the problems were contact problems and manufacturing defects. reading must be correct following writing. wherever it is magnetic media it was problem generating. Besides the equipments were very heavy and made of steel plus cooling facilities - there always were lot of vibration and contacts were not taking place properly.

the problem solving techniques were some slaps and resitting of circuit holding cards to start with. after wards going deeper to find the error generating contact and making contact if needed externally by wire connections. they even used to replace and wire magnetic cores used to hold 0 or 1.

If you ask the engineer who seemed to know more his pet answer is "tak".

it means any thing from 'not important to know' to 'who cares' or 'what is the need to know'

today in a day i tell myself TAK many thousands time a day

false knowledge
not important to know
this knowledge is never applicable

tak

all my knowledge is always useless
