Think of a carbonated soda, which is bubbly when it comes out of the fridge, but goes flat as it warms up.\r\n\r\nThe bubbles you see in water at a roiling boil is actually water vapour, the water itself turned to gas. If this gas cools it just becomes liquid water again. When you let boiled water cool down to drinking temperature it has a peculiar flat taste, which I think is because it has less dissolved air than fresh water from a mountain stream. If you vigorously stir previously boiled water with a whisk it\'ll re-aerate it, and remove some of that peculiar flat taste.\r\n\r\nThanx for the episode!\r\n\r\n--Bob, who needs to record his own HPR episode','2017-09-09 07:41:28'), (1324,1889,'2015-10-30 05:48:08','GNULinuxRTM','Execellent Episode.','Just listened while walking the Dog, on a cloudy, spooky night days before Halloween.\r\n\r\nLoved the delivery and working in all the HPR references.\r\n\r\nNow I gotta learn more about the meegopad T-02.','2017-09-09 07:41:28'), (1325,1889,'2015-10-30 10:38:34','Jon Kulp ','Tremendous!

Both the UK and the USA variants of English have been evolving in their own directions for hundreds of years. Spelling gelled in Britain earlier than in the US but the French variants became popular on this side of the Atlantic. Thus cheque/check with the French spelling being chèque.

I still have it and am just in the process of resurrecting it.\r\n\r\nThere are various opinions about \"wet\" pens (I\'ve heard them described as \"juicy\" too). A broad nib needs plenty of ink to be delivered because it deposits more. Finer nibs conversely need less. However, much lower-quality paper doesn\'t suit wetter pens as the ink tends to sink in and \"feather\" or bleed through. On the other hand, a drier pen can be frustrating as the ink feed often doesn\'t keep up with the writing. Many factors to consider!\r\n\r\nI\'m glad you\'re enjoying the Metro. I\'d love to see the Sheaffer - we need a show on your experiences :-)\r\n\r\nAnother aspect of fountain pen usage you might enjoy is the huge selection of inks that is available.

However, these are being sold as suitable for the Pi 3, though I imagine this is more to do with the size. Seems odd though.\r\n\r\nThe Pibow cases are made of quite thin acrylic - 2.8mm thick according to my digital callipers. Some layers have quite narrow pieces which wrap around items on the board like the USB connectors. Also you have to remove a protective film from each layer, which can put strain on these narrow parts as you peel it off. I have nearly snapped them on occasion, but the trick is to be slow and steady as you peel and support the weaker pieces. Once assembled the layers above and below keep everything nice and firm I find.\r\n\r\nHi JWP!\r\n\r\nThere\'s nothing inherently wrong with Nano, it\'s simple to use and does the job. I used Pico (on a VAX Cluster running VMS where it was the editor for the Pine mail client) for many years. However, it was a tremendous relief to move away to a more powerful editor like EDT and TPU on the VAX, then Emacs and Vi/Vim on Unix.\r\n\r\nFinding myself presented with Nano is a shock when my fingers and brain are trying to operate in Vim mode, so I want to install Vim as soon as I can - preferably with my own .vimrc and all the plugins I normally use!','2017-09-09 07:41:31'), (1560,2023,'2016-05-07 14:01:47','Mike Ray','Metal boxes and Emacs','I suppose there may be enough holes in a metal Pi case to let some of the RF in or out but as the antennas are on the PCB it would be very inefficient compared to being put in a plastic case.\r\n\r\nEditors?

I used \'%s\' because I\'ll be using the prompt string as a format definition for printf, and \'%s\' means \"substitute a string of arbitrary length here\".\r\n\r\nThe use of printf to write the prompt string allows the format to be defined when calling the function.

It probably followed on from my science education where we were encouraged to keep a lab book of what we\'d observed.\r\n\r\nSoon after I started running an adult evening class in Pascal, and wrote a series of handouts for my students that grew into a textbook at the end of the course. It was intended as a resource that they could refer to and learn from outside the classes.\r\n\r\nThe workflow I use to generate show notes (producing HTML from Markdown) allows me to turn on an ePub generation stage. I tried it out for some HPR episodes but wasn\'t happy with the results. I could look at improving this if anyone is interested and could recreate ePub format notes for the sed series for example.

If nobody is online at the moment, your message will be lost in cyberspace, and you may or may not be told that this happened.\r\n2. If you have several clients online, they have priorities set to determine which client should get the messages delivered to it.\r\n\r\nSo what these XEPs do is that they add the ability to:\r\n\r\n1. Store-and-forward, so that the server holds any incoming messages, and delivers them when you get back online.\r\n\r\n2. Carbon-copy, which means that all clients currently connected will get any incoming messages, rather than just one of the clients.\r\n\r\n3. Message storage, which I\'m not sure how it\'s handled, but I suppose the server can back-fill a connecting client so that any messages received since last time will be sent to it, even if other clients have already received those messages.\r\n\r\nI\'m just inferring this from comments and from the titles of the extensions, I haven\'t actually used them.\r\n\r\nNow, talking about \"naked XMPP\" is probably not fair, because these extensions are supported by several XMPP servers, including the original ejabberd project and the rather popular Prosody project.','2017-09-09 07:41:35'), (1771,2176,'2016-12-05 21:43:18','clacke','Arousing regular expressions','I did make the regex comment in a sort of Ha Ha Only Serious frame of mind, not a lewd one. :-)\r\n\r\nMy initial reaction was amusement that anyone would make the apparently futile attempt to convey regexes over audio, followed by love for the hackeresque pure devotion to the medium that would drive someone to make a serious effort, finally followed by a certain level of surprise and delight that the regex, unsuitable as it is for audio, actually carried over and was understandable!\r\n\r\nSo, part friendly mockery, part genuine delight. :-)','2017-09-09 07:41:35'), (1772,2176,'2016-12-06 17:12:51','Steve','Ham Radio Topics','This is not the first time that Ken has made a call for more ham radio topics.

I don\'t want to spend too much time going into it, but in general, I don\'t agree with the notion that just because the you can\'t expect to have total privacy on the internet, and that so many companies ask for so much of your information, that we as consumers should just throw our hands up in mercy and say \"take it all\".\r\n\r\nWe should be able to make informed decisions about exactly what and with whom information is shared. Many people, myself included, don\'t necessarily disagree with sharing some of this data, but huge EULA\'s and Privacy Agreements that Google and the like create make the transaction of information for services almost impossible to understand. Also, the closed source nature of their products do not allow users or experts the ability to validate the claims made in the aforementioned agreements. \r\n\r\nIn summary, I do not object to Google or any other company making the consumer the product. I just wish they were more forthcoming with their business practices, and therefore am selective on which services I choose to use.\r\n\r\nIt does make a thought-provoking conversation, so thanks for that!','2017-09-09 07:41:35'), (1805,2184,'2016-12-15 01:00:28','Clinton Roy','','Lots of useful info, great notes as well :)\r\n\r\nThere were a few times where the plosive Ps made it hard to listen to.

Cheap gear is not the same as bad gear. You want quality gear but to not pay much for it. If I had a $400 tent and an ember burned a hole in it, I would be much more upset than when my $40 tent gets a hole. I try and test everything in my yard before relying on it (tent under a sprinkler) as to not bring worthless gear with me. \r\n\r\nThis kinda goes along with the more stuff you bring the worse of a time you have. Gear will get dirty and tear and melt and get lost. None of this stuff should be so precious that it ruins your time. Have backups of important things (fire-starting, water filtration, navigation) and just roll with it.

Well, there is always Doppler shift on the uplink and downlink frequencies. Up and down are separated by using different frequency bands of 2m (VHF,145MHz) and 70cm (UHF,435MHz). As Doppler shift scales with frequency, it is obvious that the effect is thrice as severe on the 70cm frequency as opposed to 2m. Amsat Oscar 85 (AO-85) has a U/V transponder, which means the transmit direction towards the satellite is on UHF and thus experiences the greater Doppler shift. Some other satellites have V/U transponders, where the bigger shift effect will be seen on the output of the satellite. \r\n\r\nAnother entry for the list of things to explain, in a separate show or the amateur round table: \"What is this Doppler shift all about?\" The best way to demonstrate it would probably be a recording of the telegraphy telemetry beacon, many of the birds have, where you can easily hear the pitch of the tone changing while the satellite passes.\r\n\r\nBTW, I was not even aware that there was an AO-85... I have to keep more updated on this. :-)\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael','2017-09-09 07:41:36'), (1881,2219,'2017-03-27 15:26:07','Regina Trolman','Loved it!','Thanks for all the information and advice.

That way the ideas are all fresh in my mind. I use the notes as a structure but mostly ad-lib the audio. Reading the notes is a big mistake as far as I am concerned. Since the first HPR show I did I do not rehearse.\r\n\r\nYears ago (late 1970\'s) I used to teach evening classes in an Adult Education centre (Pascal, BASIC). I evolved a similar style there, and constructed notes which became hand-outs for the students. Amusingly they were printed on a line-printer, and I\'d written my own text-processor to generate them (think early but less convenient Markdown).\r\n\r\nAs to audio editing, I do edit.

I may have said this at some point, but maybe not: I was primarily using it to demonstrate how expansion was working. I don\'t use it in that way to view directory contents and so forth.\r\n\r\nExpansions like the ones here are used in many contexts, as you know. Back in my early days of using Unix (we had Sun, HP, DEC, Silicon Graphics and Apollo systems around at various times at the university I worked at), with a variety of shells. I think As an aside, I hated csh and tcsh the most!\r\n\r\nThere were time when I\'d type something like:\r\n\r\nrm *.msg\r\n\r\nand get back an error like \"too many files\". That was because the expansion of \'*.msg\' resulted in \'rm\' getting maybe thousands of file names, which it couldn\'t cope with. I got in the habit of doing stuff like:\r\n\r\necho *.msg | wc -w\r\n\r\nto warn me of such potential problems. Maybe even \'echo\' would fail sometimes with \"too many files\" (or similar), but I don\'t remember now. Maybe \'ls\' would have been a better choice back then. However, for this series I felt it \"got in the way\" a bit more, as it were :-)\r\n\r\nYour points about printf are well taken. I did mention it earlier in this series, and showed its use in various contexts. However, it probably deserves a show all of its own!\r\n\r\nYes, I had discovered:\r\n\r\n$ printf \"%s\\n\" *.msg\r\n\r\na while back and was surprised it printed out its arguments one per line. Some other \'printf\' implementations reject such things because there are more arguments than format specifiers. The Bash \'printf\' behaviour is better in my opinion.\r\n\r\nBetter stop - Ken will accuse me of wasting another show opportunity!','2017-09-09 07:41:36'), (1976,2278,'2017-06-16 06:45:30','Ken Fallon','Comment limit','What a waste of shows !\r\n\r\nI think we should limit comments to - \"Please see my show ${new_show}\" :)','2017-09-09 07:41:36'), (1977,2278,'2017-06-16 13:48:04','clacke','printf episode','printf added to https://social.heldscal.la/clacke/tag/hprep .','2017-09-09 07:41:36'), (1978,2278,'2017-08-06 02:59:23','clacke','A new `ls` alternative','On the topic of `ls`, there\'s a new player and people say it\'s both faster (I\'m assuming it\'s stat\'ing less eagerly than coreutils ls does) and more featureful (more coloring, info on git things, some tree visualization).

Secondly I find that I need to change the screen background colour and font to be able to read the coloured text. Admittedly, this might be my eyes, but if a filename is basically a blur I don\'t get a lot from the feature! (I have similar problems with other commands that generate coloured output, so I don\'t blame \'exa\'.)\r\n\r\nPotentially the Git interface is useful, though I don\'t know what the symbols mean. The whole thing needs documentation - ideally in the form of a well-structured manpage.

Exercise isn\'t a weight loss tool per se, it\'s excellent for health and is probably the best single thing that you can do other than stopping smoking to improve your health. But don\'t look at it as a weight loss tool\".\r\n\r\nIn many cases exercise indirectly leads to eating more and thus more weight gain.\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:37'), (2101,2361,'2017-08-23 14:00:37','ClaudioM','Fantastic!','What a fantastic episode! I found myself nodding my head so many times during this episode on what was said about exercise and weight loss. I started my journey into fitness after so many years of not exercising and failing to keep it up after attempting to do so. Initially, you have to start with a change in your state of mind. I began to look at fitness as a long-term process of milestones, not as a means to an end or a \"goal\" in a determined period of time. Once I did this, making it a routine was a lot easier for me to keep up. I started with \"baby steps,\" doing 20-30 minutes of simple calisthenics. After some time where I felt comfortable performing those exercises, I would push myself a little more each time, eventually increasing my workouts and the intensity. While I didn\'t focus too much on the scale, I gradually noticed I was losing weight when I did weigh myself. If I didn\'t lose weight that day, I wasn\'t disheartened because I had already set my mind that this was a long-term process and that I would lose it eventually, and I did.\r\n\r\nYou also need to think that you are doing this for _you_ and not for anyone else or any particular reason that isn\'t for you. A better, healthier _you_ needs to be your motivation. Once I started thinking this way as well, it gave me the enthusiasm to keep on going.\r\n\r\nI also changed my eating habits over time. I found some information online stating that one should focus on eating foods with \"simple\" ingredients, meaning that it should be as unprocessed as possible. The less ingredients shown, the quicker the body can process it and use it. The more ingredients listed, the longer it takes and, depending on your intake, can end up being stored as fat. Using this as a guideline, I moved away from a lot of the processed stuff to more natural foods, especially vegetables which I already loved but wasn\'t eating enough of. If it had to come in a box, I made sure that it had as little ingredients listed as possible. Sometimes, I\'ll eat wheat bran flakes or Honey Bunches of Oats, the former having less ingredients than the latter. While both have less ingredients than other popular cereals on the market, I always choose simple oatmeal with some cinnamon and honey. I also have eggs with spinach for breakfast, and sometimes even for dinner (this is my favorite plate thus far). As far as sweets, I am taking in less sugar now than I used to. I still have my coffee with cream and sugar at times (and very little at that), but I\'m also drinking it black more than before. All of these changes along with my exercise routine have worked together to aid in my weight loss.\r\n\r\nI have been taking vitamin supplements but really it\'s just a simple multivitamin daily that you can get at any store. It has helped boost my immune system and given my body the nutrients needed that I may not be getting naturally with my food intake. I have added a couple of others that aren\'t included in the multivitamin supplement but only because I don\'t get enough of them from the foods I eat. Remember, as the name implies, they are to _supplement_ what nutrients you are taking in daily (in other words, what you\'re not getting because of allergies/reactions to certain foods or availability of those foods). It\'s also important to talk to your doctor and get informed on what you can and can\'t (or shouldn\'t) take when it comes to supplements. In certain instances, certain vitamins/minerals can actually be harmful in large quantities.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/bodybuilding-mom-dies-from-too-much-protein-and-urea-cycle-disorder\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/supplements-that-work-and-ones-you-should-skip\r\nhttps://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/best-foods-for-natural-health\r\n\r\nRegarding Ken\'s comment about weight gain and eating more, this is true but it needs to be taken in context. As you continue training and working out, you are building muscle mass as you burn fat even though it\'s not visually noticeable. This will affect what you see on the scale depending on your progress. If you are weight-training or doing any high-intensity workout, you will notice that your appetite increases over time (this happened to me as well) and you may find yourself hungry after a workout even if you\'ve eaten prior. This is normal because your body needs to replenish itself accordingly during the recovery process after such workouts. The key here is to eat foods that are as healthy as they can be with as little processing as possible. Carbs and protein provide energy before and after intense workouts, but they have to be healthy carbs and protein. Fats are also good, but they must be \"healthy\" fats (unsalted roasted peanuts, avocados, etc.) and _in_moderation_. While the video covers this near the end, it does so poorly in my opinion in ways that can be easily refuted as mentioned above and some of the examples given leave a lot to be desired. Then again, 5 minutes can\'t cover everything.\r\n\r\nUltimately, this is what has worked for me and it was an \"evolutionary\" process in my fitness journey. Everyone\'s different and every strategy will be different, but the core mentality and process is pretty much the same.','2022-02-14 13:18:00'), (2102,2361,'2017-08-25 01:22:33','deepgeek','Cost Correction','My dip stand actually had a cost of $75 dollars. --- DG','2017-09-09 07:41:37'), (2103,2362,'2017-08-26 00:07:11','Beeza','Raspbian X86 On Atom-powered Netbook','Hi Tony\r\n\r\nAfter listening to your episode I was inspired to try Raspbian X86 on an old Acer netbook which I use mainly as a media player.

For example it common practice in European hospitals to run expensive equipment like MRI machines 24/7 to reduce the overall cost. \r\n\r\nIt is also possible to increase human utilization by concentrating skills in facilities dedicated to a given specialism. This is been done to great efficiency in India and there are facilities dedicated to, for example eye surgery, or heart treatments. This has proven to be extremely useful in attracting the best specialists from all over the world, because they are guaranteed to have a high throughput of patients in their dedicated field.

Typically, if the show contains stuff I need to look at, like Dave\'s shows about bash, I will go to the site the next day and copy and paste stuff from Dave\'s notes into a markdown file which I then file away on my RAID system.\r\n\r\nSome shows I delete just given the subject without even listening, typically anything which looks like a \'how I make coffee\' or \'how I make a glass of water\'. Other shows I listen to right through without any hesitation because of the reputation, in my own mind, of the quality of the hosts past shows.\r\n\r\nBut, on to my point...I would not recommend you make a rod for your own back by promising stuff like video embedded show notes, oscilloscope traces or any other stuff that is incresing your work load further than before.\r\n\r\nMaybe I\'m biased here by the fact that video is pointless for me because I can\'t see.

S. College Course Numbering','Regarding \"101,\" 102,\" etc.\r\n\r\nIt is common, but by no means universal that U. S. colleges use this means of numbering courses. Generally, 100 refers to Freshman (first year) courses; 200 to Sophomore (second-year) level courses, up to 400 and above for advanced or graduate-level courses. Generally, the more advanced the course, the more narrow and in-depth its focus.\r\n\r\n\"101\" is usually a basic intro course, \"102\" the next intro course, and so on. A first semester U. S. History course would be History 101 (say, colonization to Civil War); the following second semester course would be History 102 (say, Civil War to Present). (As an aside, judging by what\'s happening domestically in my country, I have concluded that those courses are no longer taught, but that\'s another matter). History 412, just to pick a random topic, might be an exhaustive dive into the Early Federal period (roughly 1790-1832).\r\n\r\nAgain, this is not a universal system, jut a very common, perhaps the most common system.\r\n\r\nI do not know the origins of this system.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a more detailed article from Cal State--Northridge: https://catalog.csun.edu/policies/course-numbering-system/','2018-01-01 18:11:54'), (2284,2399,'2018-01-02 07:13:46','dodddummy','One more use case and a generalization','At about the same time I created this episode, I got a monitor from AOC.

Frustrated me enough I\'ve used one monitor for the past couple of weeks.\r\n\r\nToday I finally got around to solve this problem. At first I put the monitor on it\'s back so I could get a good look see. With good lighting I was able to see the buttons clearly and make the necessary adjustments and have dual monitors again.
