Wow, good eye. You can see the PCB is designed to take either magnetics or series caps, but the caps would have to be DNP’ed. I would actually be really angry to discover a USB Ethernet dongle I bought didn’t have magnetics built in.

Right? If you spend time around drummers at all, you almost definitely know the name Zildjian (the same way drummers know the names Fender and Gibson).

Please don't do this. You're not going to hit a drone at any appreciable altitude from a "high window" with a "nice rifle." One of the first rules of putting bullets downrange is to know what's behind your

This depends on `liar.hats` being undefined, but what if `liar.hats` is an empty array? That seems like an equally valid way of representing a person that owns no hats.

From the page header, it sounds like the author is Roderick Beck: “Roderick Beck worked as a sales contractor for Hibernia Atlantic and helps buyers procure capacity and providers make sales.”

I thought this was going to be a strange read about the Hayes command set[1] at first glance. 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_AT_command_set

I'm assuming the parent is making a 1.21 Gigawatts joke, a reference to Back to the Future.

Yeah, I came here to say the same thing. Why not just memoize compile()?

I realize single-action is generally very safe, but this is the exact reason I fell in love with the P99 AS action (striker-fired SA/DA with a decocker).

I remember this being the way to unlock Athlon XP’s (though if you bought the mobile version, which used the same socket and ran just fine in a desktop motherboard, they came unlocked from the factory).

I realize this is a joke, but can’t resist mentioning that LimeWire was (is?) open source (or at least used an open network in GnuTella)

Yes and no. They also dragged their feet on high-throughput Ka-band spacecraft with smaller spot beams. ViaSat built and launched ViaSat-1 while SES was still ordering satellites designed around analog video broadcast. In the terrestrial re

In a lot of ways, I think this is an accurate take. I worked at SES for years, starting at NewSkies Networks (I was there through the SES acquisition when they merged us with Americom), then a second stint at O3b (just before SES fully boug

I mostly agree, but here in NYC I don’t have a car to keep the bags in. If I stop at the grocery store on my way home from work, I either have to have planned ahead and put a reusable bag in my work backpack, or I have to buy more reusable

In the context - a hackathon sponsored by the US Department of Defense - it has great utility. GPS (and any radio-based location system) is quite vulnerable to denial by enemy jamming. This technique would by extremely relevant in a war bet

For the electrical components, Digi-Key[1] and Mouser are the two go-to’s. I didn’t read 100% of everything, but unless he’s selling the PCB’s you’ll have to get them fabricated from the Gerber files in the repo. JLC is the go-to for this -

I have much less experience with QLab, but I just used it for the first time in a real project, and was extremely happy with the whole experience. We’re playing back soundscape cues sync’ed with a kinetic sculpture, all triggered with OSC f

This. When I was still doing infra for a large recommendation engine, the training was what got the big GPUs. Inference was on CPU or (later) ASICs (may have been FPGAs?).

I chuckled at this, because 6 GHz was until recently widely used by the satellite industry (C-band) for ground to spacecraft uplinks. They've had to vacate it as the spectrum has been re-allocated for terrestrial use (LTE-A, WiFi 6E, e

It’s by far one of my favorite machines, even though I’ve never used one (and am far from a print designer). I just really love that it’s basically the traditional screen printing process, but automated.

Sounds like you’re looking for T-digests[1] - most production systems I’ve worked on that do this are using them under the hood. 1: https://github.com/tdunning/t-digest

I grew up (as a white American kid in Virginia) often adding a slice of American cheese to instant ramen, and I can confirm that it’s delicious.

That’s fine, as long as you have obtained permission from the copyright holder to create a derivative work. Otherwise, their reasons very much do trump your reasons.

I also really like the theatrical world’s convention of “upstage” (further from the audience) and “downstage” (closer to the audience) - disambiguating the front and back of a stage.

I can only assume you’re being downvoted because folks are thinking that you can’t go supersonic without making a boom. While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that you make a good point - regulation should be made as close to ex

I may be missing something, but it’s quite similar to pkgconfig+(cmake|autoconf). If you include a header, your build system probably needs to know where on the filesystem that header exists.

Perhaps you’re thinking of the considerably faster 28800 modems?
