Gotta agree with you there, log splitters rule. We got a little 4 ton electric one for my mom, and on some pieces it would stall. I thought, what a wimpy thing, but then hitting those pieces it wouldn't split with an…
Looks like its coded by someone who has never split firewood. The challenge is not deciding where to split, its executing the split. Like hitting the same gap if it doesn't split, deciding orientation to aoid knots,…
A downside of profile shift is that you get away from the pitch diameter. At the pitch diameter, there's no friction on the teeth, the further away you get, the more friction. But any hand drill will have a gear with…
The bottleneck with the pointer table may be the summation. While the fetches of elements can be parallelized, the summation can not, as the addition depends on the result of the previous addition being available. Some…
An interesting aspect is data dependencies. If your next statement reuses data you just computed, that can cause pipeline bubbles, as that result you want to use just isn't available yet. I dived into that topic for a…
nice, but spotted several inaccuracies on the landing page. perhaps not the best reference.
Disappointed to see the dots around it all appear to be the same spacing. They should be at different spacing, corresponding to strobe sync with 50 and 60 hz mains and 33.33 and 45 RPM. Hence four rings with different…
yes
I wrote the calculator for the original blackberry. Floating point won't do. I implemented decimal based floating point functions to avoid these rounding problems. This sounds harder than it was, basically, the…
Cutting away a lot with a router is a slow, noisy and dusty process. Less work to just glue together the channels out of smaller pieces of wood. Also, that way you can take individual pipes out and tweak them (called…
I remember spell checking my essays for high school on the commodore 64, using Paperclip 64, in 1984, Before there was ANY Microsoft windows. Spell check took a few minutes, because it read the dictionary from disk as…
Actually not fair criticism, given that I even talk about changing the control parameters and demonstrate the effect of changing them.
Please re-watch the video, but THIS TIME PAY ATTENTION. I do talk about the motion parameters, even show the code on the screen briefly. I even show the effects of changing the parameters.
Ok, ascii diagram for my previous comment, indented: =============== Pipe <---Suck =============== -----------vane-----------
chalk isn't a silicate. It's calcium carbonate. So no worries about silicosis. I think otherwise it would have been banned from schools long ago.
I have done something like that at times. I find the bug in the afternoon. Now I have the satisfaction of having found it and don't want to risk the frustration of it not actually being the actual bug I found. So I…
We use "science" to prove "they" are inferior.
I have come to that conclusion myself over the years too. But "bad people" or aholes also have usefulness. You sometimes need people to challenge things that only an unreasonable person would challenge. And you need the…
Why, its nearly the square root of 3.
The time part is very important -- it's important to start 15 years ago when the field was less crowded, and then develop your skill as you go along.
Back around 2006 I used "panorama tools" to do the same sort of thing. It had this cool feature of being able to work out lens calibration if it had two photos from the same viewpoint but different angles. It did…
There was 12 notes before there was even division. It was Bach that pushed equal temprament (equal spacing). Before that, the ratios were actual ratios (perfect 4ths and 5ths), though you couldn't just transpose music…
For games that scrolled the screen, those had to happen essentially between scans, so a lot of tricks were employed. Fixed addresses in the code, unrolled loops, and self modifying code to avoid the expensive zero page…
There's an awful lot of points on there that are true or partially true. But some things, like terrorism, loomed much larger then than they do today.
That's very subjective. Some would say wokeism threatens progress, others say anti-wokeism ghreatens progress because wokeism IS progress. Anti-science is just saying that the other side disagreees with some science…
