First I would find out if it really is a thermistor, or if it might be a thermocouple or an rtd.
If it's an rtd or a thermistor you just need to put a voltmeter (or rather a logger) in parallell at the main board, and check how the value differs when it fails.
In theory that's all you need to do also with a thermocouple, but they are notoriously sensitive to such interference

Mine would be Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo.
It's mercifully short, and it teaches C++ the Right Way(TM) - the way Bjarne intended it to be used, and how it works best.
It's suitable for beginners to C++ and in fact I recommend it for teaching C++, and it's the only one I'll recommend for that.

A well-known compiler text has a dragon on the front. This one should have had a cow, branded with Euler's diagram of the 5 bridges of Königsberg. 
|
|
|
|
|
So, the problem is that it's missing two bridges?

The dragon book is in the running for me but minus points because it could have been written to be far more accessible.

My copy is the original edition from the mid '70s. I noticed it had undergone revisions, but it sounds like it's still somewhat inaccessible.

Yeah, it's not for mortals. I ended up working with another book to figure out most of it. What's funny is there was only pseudocode in the book and no math symbology. But also that was one of its strengths.
The book is Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide[^]

Too many CS types are wannabe mathematicians when they should be wannabe software "engineers". 
It's basically the same in economics, though the "should be" side is harder to describe. But I digress.

I'll run with your digression. =) As far as economics I've seen some interesting work in describing and modeling economies as Complex Adaptive Systems. There have been some books on it but also freely available works like this: http://williamwhite.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/CAEGChapterpdf.pdf[^]
I think it shows more promise than traditional economics (not that it's all garbage or anything)

A remarkably sensible paper considering that he worked in central banking and is a Canadian! But I'd just get rid of central banks entirely, or at least restore them to their original purpose, which was simply to provide liquidity in exchange for good collateral when it had few bids during a market panic. All this "monetary policy" stuff, including fixing interest rates and quantitative easing, is destructive, not to mention immoral.

That was a great book. Short and concise. You could get up and running in C in no time.

I was thinking about that just the other day. "Code" by Charles Petzold.

It's an amazing book that helps tie software and hardware all together.
I've learned stuff in that book that you cannot learn anywhere else. I guess maybe in high-level university courses maybe.

You might enjoy the Nand to Tetris courses and the book that goes with them: nand2tetris[^]
The cover some of the same territory as Code but along the way you actually created a simulated computer and by the end of the whole thing, you're able to run Tetris on it.

That one's in the running for me.

I found Code to be amazing for the first half of the book, but it lost clarity for me in the second half.
It just seemed that he lost the desire to make his more advanced information approachable.

I have a COBOL book I like alot. It raises my monitor just right.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
