There are a few "hardware" Wideband radio receivers out there, depending on budget. Have a look at the site links below - the site does not claim to be a definitive list, and is focused around the pictures of the equipment. The &q

Interesting. There are regular transmissions on the 49m band (although they seem to carry programming for Africa) but maybe the skip distance/beam direction is wrong for the EU. I think I misread the article a bit then. I did listen to

Either did I until writing my post! Perhaps they are having second thoughts.

Ha! Indeed, I'm listening to CRI as I type this! When you say stopped broadcasts to Europe do you mean programming content rather than frequencies used? I hope there is more will to expand these BBC services permanently. Long time befo

The BBC has been broadcasting on shortwave for decades - BBC World Service. The, somewhat hyperbolic, article implies this is somehow new and "WWII era". Many counties around the world still use shortwave for various reasons - uno

64 yo fart here. Just chipping to say that! My own experience and interest in cryptocurrency is zero. But my interest in Nim is .GT. 0. I will say it doesn't bother me personally about the current sponsorship, but I see your point. The

Long time since I needed to do any Obj-C but I liked/like it and often revisit it for a quick bit of mental stimulation. Oddly, I never took to Swift once I got over the launch hype, it never spoke to me on an emotional level (but that

As someone with high functioning autism could I suggest you look into the healthcare sector? I work (remotely) for one of the top EU hospitals - Cambridge University Hospitals Trust - as a senior analyst/programmer in clinical trials.

As much as I love technology, I have my personal limits and can relate to your post. Whenever this subject comes up, I'm reminded of this (Red Dwarf); https://youtu.be/LRq_SAuQDec

Agreed. I do think there is plenty of real-world application for Essence. I have some professional experience in this space (forth, embedded SBCs, micros) and a number of times designs got rejected on production costs because of the need to

Thanks for the link. Appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this, very well done to the author(s), super work. Stunning attention to detail - font choice on install, dynamic file renaming, open file highlighting, tabbed windows wi

That's a good point. I'm by no means a HTML/CSS/JS guru but this seems the wrong way around to me. Maybe components that honour the "base" tags e.g. <p>, <h1> etc that the classless stylesheet has d
