I use nano all the time for production linux services. Its simple, effective and works really well in a shell session over a satlink connection. The key combinations make it a lot …

The mobile operator 3 have upped their prices on pay as you go. They had a "123" PAYG plan that was 1p/MB 2p/Text and 3p/Min. They now are changing it on Feb 16th to 5p/MB 10p/Text…

youd be surprised... Some people can over-react.

The article is benign but the first picture isnt best for viewing at work.... Just sayin'

Importing almost enough to do time-travel.

I think Bill is answering in such a way to be politically neutral. Other questions he has in his post here read as if they are politically biased and well to be honest, in this glo…

Most of the software I have written for work has no near on no functional / unit tests. It is industrial process monitoring software that runs 247 on remote machines thousands of m…

It may be the size on the page, or glyph rendering artefact but this font doesnt look... consistent. Dont get me wrong the font is brilliant, however atleast for me there are some …

Every time I look at fork lightning of any kind, it keeps reminding me of natures version of a depth first search algorithm. If you ever watch a high speed capture of a fork lightn…

I just broke this website sending this: " ｓｅｎｄｉｎｇ ｕｎｉｃｏｄｅ ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒｓ ｆｏｒ ｆｕｎ "

This does not seam like a legitimate article. This is most likely fake news. The website cant even spell Nutrition right.

You could answer this by answering: Does Hacker News store personally identifiable information? Well: 1. Hacker News has no interest in personal information with regards to its new…

This article like the telegraph is utter bs. The power output of a mobile phone by standard is a max of 1 watt. And even then the mobile phone does not use 1 watt constantly. Hell,…

I went for a job interview with a company years ago just after I graduated. This was for a graduate position so I kinda made a few assumptive expectations on what they would want f…

the codecs in most lossy compression formats usually nuke the phase information so here in this example as ASK is being used there isnt any lost of information. If he tried to enco…

So err... where is C# / Mono in all this?

This reads like a scaremongering article.

Ive had this pedantic-ness in the past. I've noticed the obsessive compulsive behaviour of being attached to code. People I had to work with cared more about having every for-loop …

i can understand the need for the large towers to TX AM band signals but grounding a directly fed antenna like that would kill the PA. You'd really screw up the SWR.

eh i wasnt expecting to be right. Although i would say they usually use heavy duty coax at 50ohm - i believe - not sure though

i mis-read your comment - it has no affect at all as its not whats transmitting 50kW!

Why were they shorting the tower? Since the tower is metal, it will inherently start to resonate to the transmissive power. (The same effect can be seen when you touch a phono conn…

i don't think it would change (probably wrong) since the active energy is only generated by the final PA's in the system. the Antenna's gain is only from the passively reactive des…
