Preamps and compressors will be integrated in the "console" (even though typically the user-interface will be separate from I/O and DSP, the latter being housed in a 19" rack). This is radio, not some boutique studio wit

What makes these devices (e.g. the microphones, monitor speakers, the mixing console...) so hideously expensive isn't even the sound quality (even if I wouldn't expect anything short of the technically achievable performance in mi

You know what depresses me about these articles, besides the obviously sad point of a country banning strong encryption: Why are people so obsessed with writing out huge numbers and making up arbitrary false statements, just to impress the

nohup (no hangup) just concerns itself with the controlling TTY of a process. By running "nohup", you are not passing on the intent on why this process should be kept alive, and for how long. Traditionally the answer was "for

Yes, it's quite sad how unconciliatory the two camps (systemd implementors on one side, the traditionalits on the other side) have become. Both sides' arguments have their merits, but with this unnecessary hate and anger everywher

You get the same problem whenever you build up things piece by piece. So most often I work around this by atomically mv'ing a temporary file to the final product. %.foo : %.bar echo blubb >$@.tmp cat $^ >$

One important fact one should keep in mind: This particular case is likely pushed forward because the suspect is accused (morally, and not even in a legal/formal way, as the article mentions) of a particularly abhorrent crime. It'

Or you just write out the margin of error explicitly... 98.6±0.2F (or whatever). Especially with errors in the order of .1, you might even write out more than the traditional number of digits, e.g. 98.64±.10, as it might make a significant

So... I also used PCI based NI (Digital/Analog I/O) cards in the past (around the year ~2000), which then were supported by "comedi" (open source linux data acquisition drivers). On the other hand, I recently got a few U

I think you are referring to a “Season 7” interface by which a PC could emulate a smart card for pay TV encryption. One side was a PCB the shape of a SmartCard, only slightly longer. The part protruding from the satellite receiver/TV d

The NI stuff, in my opinion, is an over engineered mess, designed to force you into using LabView and really don't work with anything except their proprietary windows driver architecture.

As far as I remember, L4 is such a minimal beast that you typically run something like a Linux-Kernel inside it, to do most of the boring stuff. And then use the guarantees on isolation provided by L4 to have timing or security critical fun

But on a decent quality XLR, you can re-solder 20 times, drive a truck over, yank on it until the cable snaps, ... and it will still work beautifully ;-). Judging from some of cables I've seen, that's also the use that most XLR co
