> If you are using such a short and therefore highly inefficient antenna, both the noise and the desired signal decrease significantly, but the signal may still stay above the noise floor. That doesn't apply to FT8 and some other di

Perhaps the custard is working as a resistive load of a kind of beverage antenna. It's a valid experiment. I only think that is a bit misleading for those who read about it. People get impressed thinking that the custard was tunned to

No. And I think that creating something entirely new is overrated sometimes: one might argue that it's a requirement for a startup to achieve skyrocketing growth rates. But it's pretty feasible to build a healthy business creating

I've initially thought it was some sort of April fool's article. But I'm skeptical. He didn't detail, but probably used a proper, non-irradiating cable, or no cable at all, when he experimented with the dummy load. If th

Indeed. But he didn't mention how he connected the dummy load to the radio. Dummy loads have usually a standard antenna connector and are meant to be attached directly to the radio or through an non-irradiating cable. So, my guess is t

That matter has caught my attention some other times. I'm aware of dozens of projects where such "hero developer" phenomenon happened and it's really interesting (some I worked for, some I knew by other people). I ask my

It doesn't answer the question because it's still a speculation. Full investigation is hopefully going to tell us what has really happened.

This is one of the features of the MCAS software update.

Averaging would be disastrous in this case. You don't want to use faulty data to average inputs to a flight control computer.

Boeing has been using only two for quite a time. Having a failed and a working one would simply indicate that something is wrong, but this information is valuable anyway -- it could be used to prevent MCAS from engaging based on wrong data,

Uhm.. I don't know.. I'm aware this is the case of airspeed indicators and many others, but, for instance, the autopilot is fed with readings of Pitot tubes from both sides and it disengages when the sensors disagree beyond sensib

Mass media in general is stressing too much the fact that 737 MAX is allegedly based on dated designs. I think it's fair to say that MAX versions present some compromise solutions (like the now-infamous MCAS, which is there to compensa

I totally agree and I got caught in such loop. And it took me too long to do something about. Had to reach a really sad local minimum until I decided to act. I will maybe write something about this in the future. When it comes to procrastin

Hi, I had to pay in advance for the space indeed. I feel myself this way as well when I pay for things. Like working out at home vs at the gym.

by myth2018 8y ago
Yeah, that's what I intend to do indeed. I think those changes usually have positive impacts.

I considered this and even tried them. In my particular case they weren't good options. Local libraries and universities over here are not quiet places, unfortunately. And I saw some advantage in having an office with a fixed position,

Thanks for sharing this. I agree with you and wish I were aware of that three years ago. I think that the biggest lesson I can draw from all of this storm is not to focus too much on the end result, specially when working on long-term proje

Thanks for sharing this. I used to be like what you said too, and things also flipped to me at some point, and I find it weird as well. I used to be hugely self-driven and get a lot done but it seems that I get lost when working on really b

I had to make the story shorter, but the company now exists and is running. It's just not the way I initially imagined: I'm making some money building products for other companies while I try hard to improve and sell my own. It se

Procrastination has destroyed my life. Three years ago I finally achieved my dream of working from home. I was writing my thesis and believed I could finish my masters in 8 months. I decided to fully focus on it and, afterwards, I would cre

Experience shows that this is not the way things work. Real-world team members present varying levels of maturity and, therefore, commitment levels to the aimed results. Some will work at their natural pace and deliver the thing, provided t

That's a good idea. Consulting firms have really overcomplicated Agile a lot. I've been displeased to meet bloated implementations these last years. My only point is that, at least in the companies I've worked for so far, a p

Sounds good. But in practice it's complicated.. In Brazil we have been using electronic voting systems for 20 years. Since then, there's been absolutely NO EVIDENCE of fraud. Specialists are regularly invited to know the code and

No.. this is not about the autopilot. The suspicion (which is only a suspicion so far) is about another system called MCAS. Roughly speaking (specially because I have not enough knowledge to speak on this regard with confidence), this is me

I'm only an "interested layperson" in the subject so I don't know details. But I know that for instance there are plenty of alarms warning the pilots about the proximity to terrain. Besides, there were excellent visibili

After some months of research and some trial and error I finally managed to create videos programatically using libav. Nothing innovative, and I don't know how to write about it to make it feel exciting. Although I feel excited for wor

Wow that's interesting. Thanks for bringing this concept to my attention. During my master's three years ago I did something similar to literature based discovery, but manually and obviously in a much limited scale. Glad to know t

Indeed. I found it really great to build some more or less complex UI components, but I didn't have a good experience using it to build forms.

It depends. I have routines using vanilla javascript, believe it or not. Model binding is a requirement only if you are going to deal with your model in javascript. Maybe to perform an ajax call or something alike. But I often simply do a f
