Does regenerative braking work with a motor like this?

Yeah, afaik arhitecture dynamic binary translation dates back to at least 1998 (VMware). If you leave out the JIT part, binary translation dates back to at least 1966 (Honeywell). …

Look, my setup works for me. Just add an option to reenable spacebar heating.

I have such fond memories of the Nokia N810. I did my master’s thesis on that device. I had a custom hypervisor running a guest kernel, virtualized networking, and a buildroot user…

It's been a few years since I last looked at it, but I've tried daily running it probably 4 or 5 times over the last 15 years. Usually on Arch, but also some Debian/Ubuntu-based di…

Somebody sell me on these newfangled tiling WMs. I have been using basically the same xmonad configuration for 15+ years, pretty much updating it only on breaking or deprecated cha…

I strongly believe that we will see an incident akin to Therac-25 in the near future. With as many people running YOLO mode on their agents as there are, Claude or Gemini is going …

Neat. Anyone know what is used to make the animations? I like the graphic design!

That band is often chosen _because_ of the absorption band of oxygen. Significant attenuation at those frequencies means it limits range, allowing for higher frequency reuse and le…

Interference is a real problem with FMCW radars, either maliciously in the case of electronic warfare, or accidentally in the case you mentioned, with many radars in the same space…

Is it though? I can run Windows programs from 20 years ago on my Windows machine just fine. Issues with Linux binary distribution meanwhile are ubiquitous, with glibc probably bein…

Among other things, tooling and vendor libraries. Vendor libraries are often composed of thousands upon thousands of lines of auto-generated C headers and written in some bespoke f…

C++ has long surpassed the point where mere mortals like me can understand it; It's so loaded with baggage, footguns, and inscrutable standards language that honestly I think the o…

I don't understand the backlash outside some sort of weird "anti-woke" attitude. Even ignoring all the problematic history, the Lena image hasn't been a good test image for years. …

I tried it a few months ago, back in November. I looked through what I did and in the end, to bring in pw_result, I had to define a failure handler, pull in three separate cmake fi…

I don't think fiber cables are expensive. I ran CAT6 in my house and at the same time pulled an OS2 single-mode 30m fiber cable to my office for core switching. The 30m fiber cable…

I tried to evaluate pigweed a little bit by importing just a single module (pw_result) into my existing CMake-based MCU project. I guess you guys technically do have support, but i…

I have a rather extensive homelab, painstakingly set up over time. It works great, I love it. Few questions for you guys: - My real problem is disaster recovery. It would take me f…
