> it sure beats mailing lists. look at LKML. You mean the the 31 years of simple text anyone can index or search using any search engine? How awful.

Yes, that's great. This part: "Intuitively, a succinct data structure is one whose space usage equals the space needed to write out the data, plus something that grows more slowly than that. If you're familiar with little-o

I'm not sure this is what you have in mind as far as "mainstream" rigs or architecture, but the FTDX-101D main receiver is a "narrowband SDR" system, as Yaesu describes it. Signal is downconverted through an analog

Pleasing. Brother has been one of the few -- or possibly only, I don't know printers well enough to know -- that don't appear to be governed entirely by rent seekers. I've bought exactly one printer in the last 20 years; si

Remember, the business model[1] of Brave Software, Inc. is various cryptocurrency schemes including the BAT currency ad scheme integrated into the Brave browser. Also, the CEO and co-founder of Brave Software, Inc. is Brendan Eich, a finan

My policy is: don't talk about Brave. If Brave ever gets enough share to be a problem for Google et al. it will get ruined, one way or another.

I learned recently that another limit to plasma duration is contamination. As fusion occurs and high energy particles that escape magnetic confinement blast the toroid wall, ions of metal get mixed into the plasma and degrade performance.

The RISC-V core designs that have emerged so far don't have nearly the amount of silicon dedicated to optimizing IPC as one sees in ARM, x86 and others: predictors, sophisticated caches, complex instruction dispatch, deep pipelines, et

This is my solution, although my ISP box has no WiFi, thankfully. Their box is a totally locked down, "business" service bridge. Behind that is my MikroTik RB5009UPr+S+in, doing packet filtering, NAT, VLAN, PoE to access points,

I see. I corrected that part before reading your response. Good to understand the actual situation. Yes, I agree. There is no point to OpenOffice any longer.

I just happened to use Calc for the first time in a looong while yesterday. Pretty nice. Fast, conventional, no damn ribbon menus. Saved to office365 format for consumption by others and it was all flawless. It's always been functi

How did climate change cause vast neighborhoods of single-family wooden mcmansions to be constructed with ~3 meters of separation?

by topspin 2y ago
Yep. The same applies to my comments.

Sure. All you need is evidence. A brand new Substack account with no real attribution and zero pedigree is not "truth".

More Elon hit pieces. Last one was one hour ago. Also substack. This one is from "The Concerned Bird", registered 5 days ago on substack, and has one post. Points for being clever. The big reveal is a screenshot from the github

I'm noticing that the reporting on this, including the ESO press release, is vague on exactly what this "industrial megaproject" happens to be. Ordinarily, there is no hesitation to disclose this, unless it's a military

It tried just after waking up, using my phone's screen, and it worked immediately. Not exactly a pleasant thing to do, but it does work as described.

Yes, I know. The fact that I know is reflected in what I wrote: interleaving samples from the inputs.
