Chandler is about the same (50-something% SRP, 30-something% Colorado, < 10% groundwater). Some groundwater use is sustainable, by the way; the cities do calculations of how much water seeps into the ground from rain or irrigation, and t

fig 4 timing looks wrong --- electromagnetic field from the windings is supposed to be 90 degrees ahead, on average, of the permanent magnet field.

Largely those datasheets are poorly written... but in practice it doesn't matter much because the manufacturing variations of offset and gain error are larger than the quantization level.

The datasheet specifications are largely standardized across ADC manufacturers and do not represent the exact mathematical norm but rather the range of ADC performances. So it's not that "the transfer characteristic is always mid-

So what does this mean for those of us who have been using Claude or ChatGPT with agentic coding? Is there anything we can use to reduce costs with Mellum2?

Dammit, I have an 80%-written article covering the same issue but for ADCs, and had to put it aside for the past few months. There's historical precedent here from the 1960s and 1970s, and in large part it involves testing and definiti

Oh that -- I used to print those out from my C64 to my Star Micronics dot-matrix printer and add selected white-out / ink to make them more interesting.

From the title, I thought they were going to point out that `a[2]` and `2[a]` have identical meaning in C.

I like the article (lost art, indeed!) --- please consider using a proportional font, however... fixed-width fonts have lower readability.

I greatly prefer Typst's clean architecture than TeX's macro-centric hell pounded into passable utility.

I am 90% finished writing an article about Miller-Rabin primality testing. A few weeks ago I was looking around and found out that Rabin was still alive, which I hadn't expected... and was wondering if I should try to contact him to as

Is there no end to the burgeoning websites using fixed-width fonts for text? We're not using ASCII terminals anymore... oh, to be able to read text more easily.
