I believe it does indeed depend on your water supply. And it doesn't help to use it if you do not use the drying cycle on your dishwasher. And here ends my limited knowledge about this nuanced, and I am sure to some, deeply interesting

I've developed software for 6502 (the first processor I learned assembly language for, but not the first CPU I programmed at the machine code level), Z80, 6809, 68000 series (x00, x20, x30, x40), a variety of MIPS (R3000, R4000, R10000

I don't know why you're downvoted, there's already screens currently in development that have precisely this. They should hit around late 2021 or early 22. There are SOHO routers in development that have this (Q1'21), an

That website only seems to list two TV's (with Amazon Affiliate links) and I conjecture it was written by an outsourced writer who has never owned either of the TVs. Sceptre, from my understanding, is an LG or Samsung panel with off-br

Reaching back in some ancient memory from 35+ years ago I recall that the rotation tables were sin/cos and the cos table overlapped the sin table by 180 degrees. I think there was 256 entries in When the ship rotated it stepped throug

I have various blogs and outlets for putting up my writing. Only one of those has Google ads on it. It has Google ads not for the revenue (I don't think the ad revenue has even generated enough over the years to cover the hosting cost)

Many BASICs of the time did lazy tokenizing. You would bury code to be executed later, or binary data for graphics or assembly language after certain tokens, numbers or the closing quote of a string. BBC BASIC would tokenize on ENTER, ATOM

If you are in the US and live near a Woodcraft store, many of them have dedicated training rooms with regular clubs and class schedules. 100% woodworking, but still valuable knowledge and experience. I know there's a pandemic on right

TL/DR; it's a off-hand joke. Cannot decide if I should respond with a meme reference to Samual L. Jackson asking "Does he look like a *?" or ask "Do you also cook? Do you have a deep voice? Are we only used to s

Take the essence of the question asked, or the non-working sample code given, take your response on the forum post, verbatim, and post that on your blog. Your blog is a marketing vehicle, you aren't necessarily doing it to rank high in

A "non-compete" in California is very enforceable. Though not in the way that most people think of non-competes. "I will pay you $X, at $Y per month to not do that thing for the next $Z months. If you decide to do that thing

I still build software. Every day. I delivered my first commercial product in 1978. I cannot recall a day that I've never written some form of code. Even if only a line or two. Made notes about writing code. Thought about how to solve

Around 1980-ish DrDobbs Journal published a series of articles on developing your own C compiler which lead me to writing my own C compiler for the BBC Micro in 6502 that became self-hosting on April 24th, 1982. It is thanks to DrDobbs that

Agreed. It is a last resort device for me, for the most part. "Banking" is the one anomaly, but really what I want is a widget that tells me "this is how much you have in your account." For weather forecast I have a dedi

I would not consider myself a junior developer, or even mid-level at this point, but an offer letter with $110K salary (which I assume was total comp because there was nothing else mentioned in there) is less than what I was making 20 years

Purchase a scan converter. There is a popular OpenSource project and many manufacturers are making them. Several support RGB, S-Video, RF, VGA and SCART and can upscale to something a 1080p HDMI TV/monitor can use. Supremely useful for
