Thanks a lot, I'll have a look into this.

I'll bite. I'm working on an application that uses Firebase, so the front-end is hosted on Firebase hosting (probably with some kind of CDN before that) and available through a firebase-supplied domain, and the back-end runs on Cl

Just a thought... opening hours can usually be scraped from their website (totally unfounded guess: that's how Google does it), so what seems to be missing here is a free tool -- and probably a free central database of pre-scraped data

I think quite the opposite happened, just not on X11 level. The web browser is essentially a thin client nowadays. The fact that you have full client-side scripting is one thing that was IMHO a bit underdeveloped in classical thin-client sy

There is sometimes the expectation to get a printout that looks the same as the image on screen in any illuminating condition. The whole process of designing printed material (or, say, a passive billboard) on a computer has to constantly

What I tried to say by that is that "give me all you've got" is the only kind of maximum a screen can do, and a brighter screen (or a quasar) will be brighter. OTOH, "reflect everything" is the absolute maximum for

The actual reason is that nobody (probably not even you) wants to pay the substantially higher price of developing native apps, nor do they want the suffer the loads of crash bugs that inevitably come with using lower-level technology. The

It could also mean: We only have to feed the escape energy of the rocket itself into the rocket while it is on the ground, and without also carrying fuel upwards.

by moring 4y ago
Would you? A rocket needs to use propellant for the time it stays in the gravity field, i.e. just to "stay still", while clinging to the ladder does not need propellant.

Night shifts per se do not imply the current insane sleep cycles for doctors and nurses at all. Understaffing, greed, political neglect and short-term-only planning do.

I don't get it. There is a huge arc in that video, but no shockwave. edit: It's explained further down the thread.

I was specifically thinking about DDR3 related primitives.

I have to admit I still don't get it. When I try to log the signal using my own signal logger (which I guess is somewhat like that "virtual oscilloscope"), the synthesis tool rejects the design and tells me that I cannot use

I don't have simulation models for the primitives, and I can't write them due to the lack of documentation. One of the downsides of working purely with the free / open-source toolchain, I guess. edit for clarification: The la

How does it solve the problem that the FPGA doesn't have a path from the signal-to-observe to the logic blocks?

by moring 4y ago
Slightly off-topic: I see lots of learning resources for FPGAs appearing that explain how to "think parallel", but are there good resources that explain how to deal with practical problems such as badly-documented primitives (look

One could argue that the same applies to old pixelated graphics, such as the original Super Mario sprite. It has to be pixelated, if you lowpass-filter it it looks ugly. So that one is non-continuous / not band-limited in the spatial

Replying here because the various replies seem to say more or less the same... "With a 50 FPS GIF played back on a 60 FPS screen, some frames get shown twice" Frames shown twice is an aliasing artifact that happens without a lowpa

by moring 4y ago
Can somebody explain why this is the case? A 50FPS signal (max 25Hz) sampled at 60Hz should not produce any errors. I can only imagine errors to show up by "doing it wrong", that is, aliasing artifacts due to not lowpass filtering

Most FPGA projects need a processor anyway, usually adding a soft core, but a hard core is superior in area and performance -- though you cannot choose the type of core anymore, obviously. I'd argue this is a different scenario because

That would be latency vs. throughput, i.e. good for things that need a steady supply like food, and bad for one-off low-latency things like mail.
