Intel 4 was the initial internal-only version of that process. The version available to external fab customers is Intel 3, which is in production in Oregon and Ireland. See https:/…

How? If anything, this gives a path forward for people who can't afford to take months away from work to study for the bar exam or pay Barbri for a prep course. Compare it to profe…

Wine works fine on Mac -- see https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/1599bm1/does_w... for the Gcenx packages that work.

Why would you blow it up with a SMPS? I built a PSU for mine with a 5V switch-mode wall wart that originally powered a USB hub and it works fine. There's a 100uf filter cap on the …

This is a great article, but I take issue with the "character matters" section. Blakey was a notorious heroin addict and was known for introducing his young sidemen to the drug. A …

Disagree. I've had them in Saigon in addition to here in the States, and a good banh mi roll is much crispier on the outside. That's not the texture you want for a cheese steak -- …

What if someone gives you a binary that they claim is built from a particular source code? If you don't decompile it, how do you know if that's true or not? Or what if you can't tr…

The breadth of that tool is just incredible. I'm about to submit my first PR to them to fix a couple of bugs in their PEF parser (classic Mac OS PowerPC executables), but it's abso…

Plenty of use today in amateur radio, especially amongst QRPers (low power enthusiasts, signals <= 5 watts). It's easy to build transmitters/receivers for, and it's more efficient …

Wow, so much beeping -- sidetones all over the place. You need some way of tuning. Speaking from experience, CW operators love a narrow crystal filter to help with selectivity!

FWIW, it takes way more than 1 second for the engines to spool up. And an engine not producing sufficient thrust would not doom the plane -- as long as the airplane makes it to V1 …

That's more due to exclusionary zoning than building codes. There is no reason why we couldn't build, for instance, a boarding house under modern building codes, which would create…

Not sure how old your son is, but this is what I'm doing with my 5 year old with the same issue. Find some good old-school funk from the late '70s / early '80s with a four-on-the-f…

I agree with you on the vast majority of this, but I think it's a bridge too far to put intonation above feel unconditionally. You are correct that keeping time (what an engineer w…

Same thing as "all right" but different, you dig? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4deSYYzffM by Cab Calloway Or the lyrics before the solo break in Zappa's "Zomby Woof".

I think the article takes the "discrimination is important" quote as cryptic and philosophical when it has a very real meaning. Compare it to an interview with the great Dizzy Gill…

I had a doc recommend me this instead of a Q-tip: https://ototekloop.com/ Works great, and the guard keeps you from pushing it in too far and damaging your eardrum.

Do QSL cards count?

Part of it was from listening to his own recordings, part of it was from discovering it inside his brain again. As Pat's aneurysm grew over time, it's likely that his brain had alr…

Amateur watchmaker here. Its half life is ~1600 years, so it's still plenty hot. Hot enough, in fact, to burn out the phosphor in the radium paint, so it stops glowing, but flakes …

Major questions doctrine. They ruled that the current law does not empower EPA to require producers to shift generation to different methods (e.g. natural gas, renewables), and tha…

Only at the Monday night jam sessions. But I have played at Parker, which is also a wonderful spot.

I play jazz, and I go to downtown Austin fairly frequently, and never felt that way there. The Domain is just... weird, and not in an Austin way.

NYC and Boston have better jazz. NYC / Chicago / SF have better symphony orchestras. It used to be an 8/10 or a 9/10 when I moved here, but professional musicians have been priced …

I have been a block captain with the Democratic Party in Austin for almost as long as I've lived here, and a voter deputy registrar since 2018. It hasn't made a bit of difference, …
