I tested it out on some 6502 assembly recently and it made serious logical errors as well as basic mistakes like using 16-bit numbers in 8-bit regisers. https://videos.rights.ninja/w/m9LX4Tw47vPvbNDSsjFTYh

Google "or" searches are limited to 10 sites. There are thousands of instances.

That last bit is a big thing for me. Using something like a cellphone as a web application server is obviously going to come with unique challenges and it's going to be a compromise in some ways. For me, one of the biggest drivers for

The reason I don't use an old, general-purpose PCBs for the types of projects you describe is because they're generally very poor in the terms of performance-to-power ratio. SBCs like the raspi are much more power efficient, but I

Have you ever checked out Furnace Tracker? It's very similar (with compatibility for deflemask modules) but with expanded PSG support and a lot of fixes to accuracy.

It's a bit weird, but makes sense as a rhetorical device. It's sort of like saying "Growing your own vegetable market". It's not literally true, but it expresses the idea that you are growing a wide variety of thing

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be super cool to _also_ include a topographical map feature for those who wanted/needed it, but I don't expect most people would be able to use it in lieu of a simple, visual 3D view.

Why sacrifice accessibility and usability to save on a bit of computation?

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Yeah, that works.

Yup, 8bitbubsy's FT2 clone completely replaced Milky for me. I was never a huge user of it but I used it as a scratchpad for DOS music when I wasn't near my DOS laptop. It compiles perfectly well on my Pinebook Pro, so now I have

Oh yeah, even a micro hydroelectric generator can easily do 500 watts continuously, so add a bank of batteries—maybe one made of recycled li-ions—and you could easily store enough energy to run an induction top for all your daily meals.

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Yeah, 80 watts was just an arbitrary doubling of a rough estimate for average cruising on a bike. That said, I think it's still somewhat reasonable to do the calculations below the level of a workout because not everyone is going to wa

I'm in Europe and the induction cooktops are the same here. There are a few models with actual dials/knobs, but they're (almost?) universally very expensive models.

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Yeah, it absolutely comes down to how you need to use it. Unfortunately, there are some types of cuisine that rely more heavily on quick, precise temperature control.

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Yes! I've thought about that exact same thing! It would be a cool marketing gimmick, too. Call the gym something like "Watt's Gym", and add card readers to each machine so people can track their total produced killowatt-

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Yeah, aside from the actual interfaces I think induction units are great. They are safer than most (all?) other types of cooker, they're super fast to reach set temperature, and they have the potential to last a really long time. I jus

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
I'd be happy with knobs! The biggest issue I've seen with consumer induction cooktops is that all the affordable ones use stop touch/tap interfaces that make it really difficult to adjust heat while cooking. If the primary in

by jeffalyanak 4y ago
Something to keep in mind is that a hotplate or inductive cooktop may not need to run at full duty cycle depending on the heat dissipation of the materials involved and the setpoint of the themrostat or temperature probe. It may be pulling

This might be feasible in a setting with multiple people providing power, but I'm not sure how usable it would be with just one person. As a rough rule of thumb, an average person riding a a bike at about 15 km/h would be using 30

You'd have to chew quite a lot of them, but it's certainly possible.

I guess the surprise comes from the fact that there's a lot of supply as well.

If politicians always did the popular things at the beginning of their term they would be far less likely to be voted back in. Unfortunately the news cycle and therefore the voting public has a short memory. It does suck a bit that the syst

I recently built a small home solar battery system with the goal of keeping my low-power DC devices charged and running during outages like this. I've only been running it for a few months now, but I've been using it to keep all o

Yup! I'm not sure what the max power output of those types of deployments are, but I've seen block heaters in Canada that pull as much as 1500 watts, so that's not insignificant.
