There has been a bit of a revival in CW since the pandemic in ham radio. Lots of hams took the time to finally learn it with the extra free time they had. So as far as amateur radio goes, it’s more popular now than it has been in a long tim

I’ve always said if you want to get a developer to do something, just question their intelligence. This works on way too may otherwise smart people. It somewhat makes sense, many devs grew up smart and were told they were smart from a youn

My college roommate was an English major. Now he is a professor of English at a university and is quite happy with it. Of course the joke always was that he was majoring in English to teach future majors in English.

This was my first thought too. The tools talked about in the link are useful but they aren’t really computer science. This was also hit home in my CS courses. I was being taught the science behind computers, not necessarily the practical ap

The city I live in did this. Gave all sorts of tax breaks to companies downtown to get people back in the office because lack of employees was hurting all the other small businesses that were built up around downtown to service those employ

Depends on the device. Some require connection to a host system, some can be done over the air. 100% depends on the security profile of the device in question and what the FDA allows.

Treasuries return exactly what is printed on the coupon, no more, no less. Short of government default, they are as risk free as you can get.

Let’s also remember when the 1080 first launched it was a massive upgrade and the retail price was $600.

This is correct. I had a 15" CRT that was 800x600 in the late 90's that I did designs on, so I used a 10px font. Now I have a 15" laptop screen that is 1920x1080 so of course I'm not going to use 10px fonts anymore.

This chart doesn't show all of the frequency allocations. It's mostly showing who has priority on said frequency and who has secondary rights to not interfere with the frequency priority. There's a third "level" (y

Wifi is not on the chart. The chart is based on the "FCC ONLINE TABLE OF FREQUENCY ALLOCATIONS". [1] That table has 3 columns of data, the first two columns are what you see in the chart above. The third column is where the wif

I do remember my 5th grade teacher had a cracked paddle sitting on the chalkboard at all times. He pointed it out when we started the class and it was there as a daily reminder. This was a US public school in the mid-80s. Nobody back then h

Even if they spent $216k to make $250k it had to occur to them that it wasn't really worth it. They talked about them working 3 shifts, 12-16 hours every day for 6 weeks, bringing in extra people to help out to get them over the hump.

I want this someday too (also live in MN). Wood pellets or just a wood burner are your best bets for secondary heat. I grew up in WI and we only had electric base boards and a wood burner (then pellet stove). Get the house up to 85 befor

Most furnaces require electricity to run even if the heat isn’t generated by electricity.

To be fair, the renovation back in 2001 (IE, Lambeau as you know it today) was partly funded through tax payer dollars (as well as a stock sale). There was a referendum on the ballot to increase sales tax by 0.5% in Brown County for someth

Doesn't seem so. Everyone I know who left a month ago and posted their Post and Mastodon links still have them up on their profiles. This only seems to target new posts so far.

This is correct, but you can still post any URL in your Insta posts, it just won't be clickable. Twitters rules expand that to the text itself, as well as "obfuscation". For example, posting "instagram dot com/user

It took the feds 3 years to indict Kenneth Lay for Enron. You’re going to be waiting a while. Feds get one shot at a case and they don’t tend to lose for a reason. By arresting him now he can force a speedy trial. Feds are going to gather e

Yup, also a nerd that grew up in a poor rural area. Some of my friends struggled with this but for me it really taught me how to be a chameleon. It also taught me to keep an open mind. While I wasn't into sports (like most nerds) I

Yup, the best manager I ever had (by far) did not want to be manager. But she was made manager when half our team was laid off (including our manager) and she was the most senior of the bunch left. She was amazing because she was good at

Is it normal for there to be a sentencing and then be free for 5 months before going to prison? I always assumed after a sentencing you went straight to prison. What's the rationale for waiting? To listen to appeals?
