No problem with his style either, but whatever software he's using to cut the audio together doesnt duck the cuts properly and so they click. Subtle issue, and definitely not a criticism, but it's emphasized because of the recordi

Don't know if it's the first such implementation, but perl's DBD::CSV is 25 years old this year.

The elevation in this case is just a proxy for storing the barometric pressure, which is because the actual air pressure is the important thing to track if you are trying to normalize against athletic performance. If the watch logged the GP

A friend of mine was having a lot of really really weird network issues at one of their location in another city (B2B supply company). Ports randomly going up and down on various equipment over the network. Appeared to be an electric issue,

Postscript fonts? Fully programmable font glyphs in the 80's. Little used, but very fun. I recall a typewriter font that would vary the glyphs position, weight and edges a bit to simulate coming from a manual typewriter. One could, if

Unlike the U-Force, the power glove actually worked. By that I mean it's ability to track hand and finger positions in space worked really well given how it was designed and buildt. But aside from a single game (Super Glove Ball) no ga

The U-Force is my earliest memory of returning a product to the store for being an utter piece of garbage. I felt guilty because I knew it was expensive and my parents were excited to give it to me. FWIW, great learning experience, I guess.

IMO the only thing holding back "edge" devices are the minimally sufficient network interfaces. Except for a couple of Mini-ITX based solutions, It's dang near impossible to get anything with >1gbe in any kind of SFF. Plea

To be honest with you I am extremely excited by what you are working towards, but utterly beyond confusion when it comes to the GPU virtualization landscape. The walls that vendors have built in this area in their attempt to artificially se

My informal sampling suggests that people are quite inexplicably actually buying it. The net present value of the feature has always been very obviously negative if you make even a passing effort to analyze the financial sensibility of buyi

Curious about all the negative experiences with UTM; for me it was a breeze to set up both an Ubuntu/aarch64 and a Windows 11 VM, though the process to get a windows installer iso was a bit silly. Biggest problem for me is that it seem

At the single photon level, the photon that goes into the polarizer and the photon that goes out of the polarizer are not the same photon, so it's not right to say that a photon is changed or transformed. For a photon coming in at 45 d

Equating the material selection for gears in a 1500W blender vs a mechanical cat flap does not make a ton of sense. "Plastic" gears generally don't require lubrication, or can be self-lubricating or have embedded lubricants s

The only thing that really makes it more compact is that flo-control used a big box and a lamp to produce an ideal and consistent input image which took a picture of the cat's head in silhouette. Honestly, the image acquisition method

The internal AXI bus on the Pi SoC can only move data at ~4gbps by DMA, so no the Pi 4 simply cannot cannot round trip real data from disk to network any faster than about 2gbps. It can saturate a 2.5gbps nic with a synthetic datastream, bu

by gorkish 4y ago
The AXI bus internal to the Pi's SoC is only capable of about 4gbps, and it carries DMA, so ~2gbps is more or less the hard limit for any kind of combined IO operation like disk<=>network no matter what kind of hardware you use f

Do these studies explain why ICE cars and hybrids and "Neighborhood Electric Vehicles" that are similarly quiet do not have to have noisemakers? Or would you prefer we ask the GM lobbyist to explain it to us?

I did it on our fishworks box as well, before we put data on it. That could have been an amazing product if not for Oracle.

Yes; in the US there is a federal $5000 fine for the types of exhaust modifications that are normally required to make a diesel engine spew that much soot. The thing I don't get is why the police, always eager to write that $100 speedi

The fact that the EV noisemaker law was passed before EVs even accounted for half a percent of vehicles on the road should tell you how well considered and necessary it is. Typical solution in search of a problem. Now you get this bullshit

Agreed. I feel that I will be shooting the bird at this car an awful lot.

The device has an onboard 8 port unmanaged gigabit switch. The two external ports are just switch ports and cannot be aggregated in any way. The entire cluster is therefore limited effectively to 1gbps throughput. IMO it ruins the product u

Would buy this in an instant if it weren't hobbled as hell by the onboard realtek switch. If it had an upstream 2.5/5/10g port it would be instantly 6 times more capable.

Amplifi has a poor value prop ever since UDM/Dream Router became a thing, although I previously recommended it for the same reasons you do. It would be nice to have a less complex app/frontend management interface for less tech-sa

You have manhandled your units as badly as is possible. Model S cruises at approximately 300Wh/mi; Tesla is claiming 2kWh/mi (approximately 6.6x the power consumption) for the Semi. Diesel cars are rated at approximately 35mpg and

Cabin overheat protection was apparently created to mitigate issues with the original LCD screens yellowing and failing because they were not rated for the heat that is experienced in a hot car on a summer day. Keeping the car at a temperat

Back about 20 years ago when I did my first Car PC, I got ~3s boots to graphical UI (SDL Framebuffer) using LinuxBIOS (now coreboot) and a very well curated set of hardware. I do remember that I was using the EPIA M VIA Mini ITX board (one
