Plenty of proprietary packages had robust communities well before anything like github existed. In fact, github is arguably a poor substitute for a community. Look at how communiti…

You write as if they have an ulterior motive to try to trigger your FOMO to keep you proactively burning CPU cycles and AI tokens, just in case something might have changed while y…

To be scrupulously fair, there are essentially two different ways to implement a Schmitt trigger. One way involves feedback connected to the input pin. This inherently lowers the i…

The term "xxx nazi" has been around for over 70 years to describe people with sticks shoved so far up their asses that they poke out the tops of their heads. And "grammar nazi" has…

Thanks for the downvote. Look, when someone says "you need algebra to solve this" is it reasonable to assume that they are talking about informal methods that people have used fore…

But that was over a hundred years ago. She must be dead by now.

Do you have a citation that shows that this issue has been settled?

I did a similar thing with a rack of test equipment. I had a PC power supply on each shelf, and used an NPN transistor to turn on the power supply whenever the USB port connected f…

I agree. But then, I'm pretty sure you haven't said anything different than what I said in the great-great-grandparent of your comment, other than slightly fleshing it out for a co…

You need to be careful with this one, or reductio ad absurdum might lead you to not build microservices, or even a monolithic app, before you have acquired your first customer.

There are 5 trits. In any case, if there were 3 trits, I'm not sure what the practical difference between a single table you describe and 3 different 256 byte tables, again dependi…

I was wondering the same thing. Obviously, it partly depends on the implementation machine, how big a hole the tables blow in your cache, how fast the multiplies are, etc. But it p…

Attention is a valuable commodity. I guess I owe you. Here, have an upvote.

What's the point? There's nobody here but you and me.
