If you program Forth like it's C, and then use a non-optimizing compiler, you're going to have a bad time (e.g. 10/20x slowdowns). I've written Forth compilers that generated output that was ~25% slower than optimized as

At the risk of becoming a totally-internet-lawyer, `amateur radio service` is defined in `(2) amateur radio service` which refers to `(4) amateur service` which has the wording `duly authorized persons`. I don't think it breaks down th

I know that in the US "amateur stations" may use "any means at its disposal to attract attention..." as allowed under part 97. I'm a ham, so I'm qualified under those rules. I've never heard of permission

What are your needs? eBay/hamswap/craigslist. You shouldn't; handing out a radio designed for licensed radio spectrum to random people would be irresponsible.

Do you pan fry them entirely to done? I usually par-cook by steaming them a bit, and then finish in the pan. Or roast them.

The GP is right though. Their specs suck; the only upside is that they’re cheap to buy new. For the value, you’re better buying a used Kenwood or Yaesu.

So what? Plenty of women write from their perspective, which could be taken as misandry. There's something to learn by putting yourself in someone's shoes, and seeing from their perspective (e.g. the current protests, and Black L

I thought they did that due to construction quality and social stigma relative to reusing housing? Contrast that with Europe. Do you have any additional info?

Take a look at MDN’s docs. It’s amazing how nice modern browsers are to program just out of the box, with no ad-ons. I start with ECMAScript/JavaScript, but lately I’ve been throwing TypeScript in the mix. Usually get a build system wo

So? Maybe you and your friends are doing something wrong. Maybe I should be able to learn about an alternate opinion, and then decide that the opinion is dumb, using my own brain and reasoning. Do you not see how dangerous it is to stop pe

It's pretty straight forward and easy; every Debian package you're using is generated in a similar fashion. Read [0] for the basics of creating packages and then read [1] for how to setup distribution. It's no more difficult

I’d recommend you learn to use Debian’s ecosystem for packaging and distribution. We build binary packages out of our source tree using dpkg-buildpackage and run our own organization of apt repositories managed by aptly. We control all of

I would check your sources on that. As one example, there are plenty of registered legal “Lightning Links” in the US. They are drop-in fully automatic on many (otherwise) unmodified AR-15 variants. With small exception, they shoot and cy

You’re caching packages locally, right?

by asguy 6y ago
We've been going that direction. Packages integrate better into multiple use cases (e.g. VM images, containers). Running a properly signed apt repo is easy these days, so why not? For people that disagree with this model: where do yo

She says "the proper temperature",.. and then starts cooking with the pan. Thus implying that the pan should be that hot to use it, for cooking.

This is how I cook them. It's pretty common knowledge for professional cooks[1], they just don't realize what it's called. [1] https://youtu.be/CB-SCA1reqE?t=58

Read the WikiPedia article I linked, or watch the MythBuster's video I posted below... the water in the eggs turns instantly to steam and causes them to be buffered from the pan. It's not magic; I use this technique when making om

There's more to the Leidenfrost Effect's impact on the cooking eggs than just the temperature. For the TL;DR version, watch the Myth Buster's take[1] on how you can put your hand into molten lead and not get burned. [1] htt

Nice. More science/engineering-minded cooks should learn about this. A close second is the Leidenfrost effect[1]; it's the secret to cooking eggs properly without non-stick. Your omelettes will float on a bed of steam. [1] - h

Especially when you are doing embedded programming. You think those GPIO registers are going to encode themselves?
