M A Screech's "The complete essays" is both my desert island choice and my most worn book. Any other edition you'd recommend?

In an ideal world with zero friction, zero wind, constant air density and no other losses that would be true. There are a few outfits using this approach, so we are the outliers (being the only ones doing it via direct force measurement, fo

You're asking the right sort of question :) Seatpost is actually one of the simpler sensors, without giving too much away it's sensing force in 4 different directions.

If I recall correctly, the weaving was often done in Malta as it was the only place where the carpet weavers had fingers nimble enough to do it. (edit) a bit of digging around turned up an article [0] showing women building core memory for

A single counter-example doesn't make it all wrong. Perhaps a committee was involved.

At the other end, I became a father quite a bit after all of my friends; now I get what they couldn't get me to understand before.

Flying into Kai Tak was a fantastic experience, especially at night. Looking into the buildings rushing past each side and watching them get relatively higher as the plane descended made it really weird. Plus the last few seconds when all

Overlays (at least in RT-11) are just chunks of code that would load at a specific address in memory. So if your program didn't fit into memory, a good chunk of it could run in an overlay area. So for example your code could have an al

The PC (R7 is the program counter on PDP-11's) would have been auto-incremented to point to the next word in memory, so the first -(PC) pre-decrements the PC with the result it points back to the instruction in memory. The contents of

3 bits for the 8 addressing modes, 3 bits for the register. For double operand instructions. that's 12 bits - so only 4 bits left over to encode double-operand instructions. The most important of which was probably MOV (0001, or 01 oct

KED on a VT100 under RT-11 was awesome (compared to everyhing else at the time). The right-hand finger-dance across PF1-PF4 felt so natural, and despite it being at 9600 baud it never felt slow.

As a PDP-11 assembly programmer who migrated to C, this one has caught me out too because it does 'feel' a very natural explanation. Possibly it's because both products came from the ideas that were in circulation at the tim

The KEF-11 for the LSI11-23 was optional, though best bought at the same time. Given the price of the chip, plugging one in tended to be a bit of a ceremonial affair.

Very similar experience, after a bit of research it was clear the 'global hum' explanation loses out to the much simpler explanation that it's an internal effect. I too found exposure to loud noise supressed it (e.g. regularl

Ride a bicycle and learn C (I've been doing the first for 50+ years and the second for 30+ [0]). Some skills never go out of fashion. [0] Personally, I found learning C harder than falling off bicycles.

Thanks - so seems it's an issue with their library, rather than something to with PIC's per se.

Why will PIC's fail sooner? (and which ones, 8, 16 or 32bit?)

SCSI itself came from a single vendor as "Shugart Associates Standard Interface", otherwise know as SASI which went on to become SCSI. It was a simple interface, easy to program and made it possible to hook computers to disk drive

If you have a multi-monitor setup, make a slight gap between two of them and put the camera behind the gap. Then position the video window so the camera is central to it.

And how likely is this to be needed? Perhaps it would be better to spend the money elsewhere.
