Modern pen filler designs do a much better job I reckon.\r\n\r\nYes to the nib wear-in issue. I was taught never to share a fountain pen for that very reason, even though it seems churlish.\r\n\r\nI have no idea what a duplex check is. Cheques (as we Brits call them) are largely obsolete here now. Is it something to do with making a carbon copy (something many will probably not be acquainted with these days)? I assume that the issue is that a fountain pen can\'t apply enough pressure compared to a ballpoint. That is certainly the case.\r\n\r\nThanks for your comments.','2017-09-09 07:41:28'),

I remember desks with ink wells, although I never witnessed the wells being used.\r\n\r\nAt my primary school the top class were taught to use a fountain pen and we were each given a cheap pen which took cartridges (is that still a \'fountain\' pen?) and were expected to use it.\r\n\r\nIt was not until secondary school that ball-points were tolerated and then not by some of the older and crustier teachers.\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a case, what about one of those old classic wooden pencil cases with a sliding lid?

I went straight out and picked up a disposable Pilot for $2.25 American. I remember taking a calligraphy class that used fountain pens somewhere long ago. My grandfather had a couple inkwell pens. One had a lever on it. Another had the squeeze fill. I still have a sterling silver ink bottle. It\'s glass inside with a silver screw cap and silver exterior. I just ordered a similar priced Chinese pen and a Piolot MR. The disposable is a medium point and a little too wide. I\'m hoping the fine point I ordered will be closer to what I expect. \r\nI typically keep a G2 gel pen or Pilot precise pen until it runs out then switch to a different style as they get used up.

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. There\'s a tendency for both \"sides\" to tell the other they\'re wrong. I try to resist this personally.\r\n\r\nThanks for the explanation of \"duplex check\". I don\'t think anything like this has existed here. We simply note things like the date, payee and amount on a stub which remains in the cheque book after the cheque has been torn out, and tally them up from there.\r\n\r\nIn my case I use electronic transfer for almost everything these days. If my kids ask for money for Christmas they get it that way. I did create fake \"Bank of Dad\" notes for Christmas 2014 just for fun, so they had something tangible! For Christmas 2015 I didn\'t bother.\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:28'),

Yes, I think the definition of \'fountain pen\' extends to cartridge pens. I believe anything with a nib and an ink reservoir fits that category.\r\n\r\nI actually have an old wooden pencil case of the sort you mention. Thing is, fountain pens really need to sit in individual spaces so they don\'t rattle together. That\'s what my cheapo leather case does, each pen has its own elastic loop. I know that this verges on the obsessional, but after spending £100+ (or possibly a lot more) on a writing implement you\'d want it to stay in pristine condition.\r\n\r\nYes, \'fetish\' is the word I was trying to avoid!

Disassembling them and leaving them to soak in warm water with a tiny drop of dish soap is the recommended way to loosen the dried ink.

It\'s an American company from around 1912, however.\r\n\r\nI used a Sheaffer cartridge pen as a schoolboy. 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.

And the Magea guy who seems to think it\'s impossible for a blind person to use Linux at all.\r\n\r\nSomebody else mumbled about individual packages, missing the point that unless a distro can be installed and have the a11y stack enabled out-of-the-box, whether or not individual packages are accessible is irrelevant.\r\n\r\nI do think it would be a little unfair to plonk a sighted guy with no prior experience of a11y tools down in front of a PC wearing a blindfold.

Each project has their own way of doing things and that extends to working with accessibility. All the project leads were able to give me a high level view of their workflow to accessibility issues, and all were able to point me to the correct contact point.\r\n\r\nWhat I realized during the experience is that there was not one person there who is deliberately against working on accessibility. \r\n\r\nIt would help everyone if there was a central point where these contact points was listed so we could have an overview who is working on what. It would also be a good idea for to try and get an Accessibility Track going at FOSDEM to address issues across different projects. You might even consider joining the Distro tracks so you could give them feedback.\r\n\r\nKen.\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:29'),

It was fine for a while but then after a time, the shows were not been released as often. This is why there are only 2308 shows rather than the 3780 shows you say there should be. Around October 2010 there were a few months with very little activity, and people were saying that HPR had podfaded. \r\n\r\nI suggested we should either end HPR or continue it.\r\nhttps://hackerpublicradio.org/pipermail/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org/2010-September/007639.html\r\nThis was prompted by a lostnbronx show \"hpr0560 :: Old soldiers\", which was an essay about how to gracefully end a podcast. \r\nhttps://hackerpublicradio.org/eps.php?id=0560\r\n\r\nFollowing discussions the promise was made that we would continue as a community podcast. So that when the community decides it\'s time to finish the project, we play all the shows we have and close it down with grace and dignity.\r\n\r\nThis is why we have the text on each and every podcast. \"We are a Community podcast network that releases shows every weekday Monday through Friday. Today\'s show, like all our shows, was contributed by a HPR listener like yourself.\" \r\nhttps://hackerpublicradio.org/theme.php\r\n\r\nSo no shows - no HPR.

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'),

I can connect a client to the server with one line typed in a terminal window. From then on the server can be accessed as if it were a local folder on the client. Very simple, very reliable.\r\n\r\nI\'m not sure I followed the rationale for booting from the attached SSD, given that you still have to have a microSD card in the Pi.\r\n\r\nWhichever way you connect, a Pi + SSD is a great low-cost server solution. I\'m staggered that small businesses aren\'t so far buying them in huge numbers.\r\n\r\nI always enjoy your shows, Dave. Please keep them coming.','2017-09-09 07:41:31'),

I spent many years setting up NFS between Unix systems and others at my work, so it\'s what I do. I have used SSHFS briefly, but not as a permanent thing. I will consider using it more.\r\n\r\nMy thinking about using the SSD was that it\'s built for long-term repeated use, whereas a microSD is not engineered to the same standards. I have heard of SD cards failing in the past and I don\'t want that to happen with this server. I reasoned that the microSD would get very light use in this configuration so would last longer.

I currently have a relatively inexpensive Waterman--with a bellows, not a cartridge--that is my favorite of the two dozen or so fountain pens we have lying about this house, many picked up at yard sales or resale shops.\r\n\r\nBut I\'m old. When I went to school, we were taught \"printing,\" which was presented as a precursor to \"writing.\" Not learning how to write, as opposed to print, was not an option. \r\n\r\nI agree wholeheartedly that there is a difference between taking notes and simple transcribing a lecture. Transcription does not promote synthesis of information in any form--one is too preoccupied with taking dictation to think about what is being dictated.\r\n\r\nWhen my own kids came home from school talking about some mysterious thing called \"cursive,\" I almost didn\'t know what the heck they were talking about.','2017-09-09 07:41:32'),

When you push the menu button it announces “menu” and shows you on the display which option is selected. You can find out which option is being displayed by pushing the menu button a 2nd time, you would then push exit. \r\n\r\nTo change to another menu option you could either use the up down keys or use keypad entry which unfortunately only beeps within the menu option however again you can find out what option you are in by pushing menu a 2nd time.

I always tend to change the EQ settings when listening to music, etc. I never really thought about it from the audio engineer\'s point of view. Specifically the idea of tuning different frequencies out of a recording to change the feel of the recording. Seems like what noise cancelling headphones do but more manual and precise. EQ after the recording is done feels kind of blunt and pointless after hearing what it\'s really for. I guess that\'s why they have all those sliders when you see studios on TV and movies.

The way it\'s laid out is:\r\n\r\nprintf -v prompt \"$prompt\" \"[Y/n]\" \r\n\r\nbecause the \'-v prompt\' saves the result in variable \'prompt\' (rewrites it).\r\nThe \"$prompt\" is the format string like when you do:\r\n\r\nprintf \"The answer is %d\\n\" 42\r\n\r\ngiving:\r\n\r\nThe answer is 42\r\n\r\nIn this case however, the text to be substituted for \'%s\' is \"[Y/n]\".\r\n\r\nNone of this would work with:\r\n\r\nprompt=\"${prompt} [Y/n]\"\r\n\r\nIn my example function call above you\'d get \'prompt\' containing:\r\n\r\n\"Do you want to continue? %s [Y/n]\"\r\n\r\nNo substitution would happen.\r\n\r\nOf course you could redesign the function to simply append the \"[Y/n]\" to the prompt in the way you did.

See, normally, targets in a makefile share the name of the exact file being made. However, in the case of something like `clean`, there\'s usually no file with that name being produced, just a series of deletions. *However*, if there is a file named `clean` in the same directory as your makefile, that can cause some confusion for the make command. So, by using `.PHONY: clean`, you\'re telling make to disregard a file named clean if it happens to see it.\r\n\r\nI\'m less sure about .SUFFIXES.

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.

I can\'t say a lot in detail but I\'ve worked before on desktop client software which monitors the telemetry served up by microcontrollers embedded in communication equipment used by French Metro systems. It all stems from an overhaul of comms equipment that happened after the Mont Blanc tunnel fire highlighted that the systems used by all three emergency services involved could not communicate with each other.\r\n\r\nThe original protocol we developed was bespoke, but since the explosion in IOT and other such things customers are now much more fussy about the protocols in use and having them meet standards.\r\n\r\nA lot of folks are trying to stretch the point with SNMP, especially version 3 since it supports encryption, but in my opinion this is an incorrect use of the protocol which is designed to do exactly what it says on the tin, manage networks.\r\n\r\nSince MQTT already has found use in railway systems and complies with Cenelec we may be able to pursuade customers to abandon their misuse of SNMP and adopt MQTT','2017-09-09 07:41:35'),

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'),

(I hate this comment system). \r\n\r\n(Quote)\r\nYour show will be signalled as containing explicit content\r\n\r\nGiven that we are an open forum for free speech we signal all our shows as \"explicit\" with the assumption that the listeners will apply the required discretion when playing the shows in public. The fact is that the majority of our content is technical in nature and therefore is often considered appropriate for any audience. If you feel that your show will be considered inoffensive in every region of the world then you can signal that when you upload the show.\r\n\r\nWhen dealing with content that is \"explicit\" or contains material that would best be suited for a mature audience, it has become traditional to include a short warning at the very beginning of the show before the intro, to allow listeners time to switch off the episode should they so desire. \r\n(Quote)\r\n\r\nAll feeds support the option to have the option \"explicit=0\" appended to the end and it will display content marked as \"Clean\" by our hosts\r\nhttps://hackerpublicradio.org/advanced_rss_settings.php\r\n\r\nAny changes to this policy can and should be discussed on the Mail List. \r\nhttps://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org\r\n\r\n','2022-02-14 13:17:51'),

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.

When was the last time you switched on the TV news and had to listen to the news reader telling you everything that had not happened that day?\r\n\r\nCensorship. It is childish and naive to suggest there should never be any censorship. Would you expect a podcast about how best to kill the greatest number of innocent public going about their legitimate business to be censored? How about a podcast extolling the virtues of the sexual exploitation of minors? Since you mentioned animals and harming them, seemingly in the name of a carnivorous lifestyle, how about a podcast about the best way to kill food animals without having to bother about pain reduction?\r\n\r\nNoise.

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'),

Please point me to resources, I\'ll be happy to read up.\r\n\r\nI\'m not a big DB expert either, but like you have used some DBs and have a little experience. Also a bit of experience making a couple of database-backed web sites.\r\n\r\nI like the idea of the third design of tags.\r\n\r\nI would also change the HPR episode intake process to make any new tags in the new format - have a cutover date/time after which all the new entries in the database use the new tagging scheme (populate the new tags tables and not the old tags fields. In fact, even remove the old tags fields to avoid confusion about which set of tags is the \"right\" set). That way you only have to do that \"populate the new tag fields from the old tag fields\" step once, at cutover time. You could keep a copy of the old site (and update it) for a while until confident the new site works properly.\r\n\r\nI don\'t know how the HPR web site is served, I got the impression from your series that it is static pages generated from a DB. Perhaps you generate a new set of pages when a new episode is added to the DB. I think you cannot go this way if you want to use that query you developed, \"what other shows have at least one of the tags that this show has\". Or at least, it will be difficult to implement.\r\n\r\nCan I read somewhere about the way the web site is served, the tech stack, etc?

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 hesitate and \'um\' and \'er\' a lot and I deal with these by (light) silence truncation and removal of a proportion of \'um/er\' patterns.

(1975,2278,'2017-06-15 10:03:32','Dave Morriss','Using echo, printf and ls','Hi clacke,\r\n\r\nYour comment made me think about the way I have been using echo in this series. 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'),

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. Also I was puzzled to find that:\r\n\r\nexa -l --git db_*\r\n\r\ndidn\'t show the Git details for the matching files.

In the very earliest days there were several, and you could buy individual albums, including on CD (I have a few). I think a monthly \"all you can eat\" subscription followed that: I was a monthly subscriber for many years. Finally, about 5 years ago they changed to only offering a lifetime subscription. I imagine this significantly reduced their overheads.\r\n\r\nThere\'s a blog where their business model has been discussed, for example: https://blogs.magnatune.com/buckman/2010/03/new-business-model-for-magnatune.html','2022-02-14 13:17:59'),

But, I\'ll defiantly stand at the edge shaking a fist!\r\n\r\nJoking aside, a lot of solder these days is going lead free. The stuff being used these days has a higher melting point. This can be an issue on something like a motherboard. Its densely packed and has multiple layers. All of those layers are trying to dissipate the heat you\'re trying to apply to one component. Sit there too long and you can start damaging things next to the component you\'re trying to replace. \r\n\r\nYou need to get in, heat something up quick, and get out. The hot air station did the trick.\r\n\r\nHowever, this was an edge case for me. I get by with just my soldering pen 99% of the time.','2017-09-09 07:41:36'),

I would imagine the simplest way would be to serve a page giving a numeric value of the number of shows in the HPR queue. If you can arrange for that or think of a better solution that would be great. \r\n\r\nI\'ll then have a think about how to modify my script and perhaps if I get time will do a quick follow up show\r\n\r\nCheers MrX','2017-09-09 07:41:37'),

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'),

The Acer ran OK with Mint Xfce but was a bit slow to respond when opening and closing programs.\r\n\r\nAfter a clean install of Raspbian X86 the netbook definitely runs a bit faster than with Mint. I\'ve stripped out all the applications I don\'t need (i.e the programming, games and office components). Wi-fi worked out of the box and, unlike on your Lenovo, so did the audio.\r\n\r\nPixel will never win any prizes for sophistication but if you play around with the colours you can improve the default appearance somewhat.

They could detect the interference sent out by the electromagnets on a CRT but, contrary to the propaganda, they could never tell what channel you were watching. If you lived in a block of flats they were all but useless at working out who did and did not have a TV.\r\n\r\nWhen home computers became commonplace, each with a big CRT monitor, the TV detectors were scuppered as they couldn\'t tell the difference between a TV and a PC.\r\n\r\nNow that we all have LED or LCD screens for our TVs and computers the concept of a reliable detector device, able to distinguish between the two is outdated.

Since the system was installed we\'ve had winds of > 70 mph, thick fogs, thunder and no shortage of heavy rain, but the connection has been unaffected as far as I can determine. \r\n\r\nThe network nodes all transmit with a multiple of the minimum power theoretically required to provide the service. That enables the signal to \"blast through\" bad weather. \r\n\r\nPerhaps where your brother lives there is a greater distance between the nodes which weakens the received signal.\r\n\r\nI\'ve just returned from Spain where I noted large numbers of internet service transceivers mounted on houses and apartments.

At 33:30, it was mentioned that at the speeds that satellites travel, the Doppler effect is noticeable, so much that you may have to adjust your RX frequency. And at the speed of car travel, which is very slow compared to RF propagation that the Doppler shift wouldn\'t play a role.\r\n\r\nI just have one nitpick, which that at car speeds, a measurable Doppler shift of RF signals indeed happens, even at GHz frequencies, and this is exactly how police radar works (commonly using RADAR way up in the 10 GHz or 24 GHz bands). This is totally a nitpick, since we\'re probably not talking about a shift of more than a few kHz, and very few if any radios can tune in less than 10 kHz increments in UHF anyway.\r\n\r\nEnjoyed the show.

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.

A lot of them seem to be less than perfect clones of known designs and they spit out what look like error messages that you can suppress with the -F flag and then carry on working.\r\n\r\nFuses are confusing but there is an online fuse calculator, I\'ll look it up and post the link if you haven\'t found it.\r\n\r\nI didn\'t know about avrdudes and I will look at it. But a lot of GUI programs are written with inaccessible toolkits like Qt.\r\n\r\nArduino IDE is itself inaccessible, so I stick to the command-line. Take a look at arduinino.mk, which is a Makefile system you can use with programmers to avoid the Arduino IDE\r\nMy first project is an audible logic probe. Had a logic probe with LEDs for years but that\'s useless to me now of course.\r\n\r\nI\'m jealous of all the little gizmos now appearing with cheap and colourful displays, like your transistor tester.','2017-10-24 07:39:51'),

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'),

You can access the settings menu via 3 physical buttons on the from of the right bezel. The problem is they are those buttons you can\'t really feel. There are labels on them but those labels are hard to feel, too.\r\n\r\nThis resulted in numerous failed attempts to make needed adjustments. 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. Hooray!\r\n\r\nIn on of the most epic DUH! moments, I thought ot this episode and added landmarks to those buttons.

Much of what you all said about the status of women before prohibition was reflective of this. I\'m old and I can remember when, in the USA, a woman could not get a loan, a mortgage, or a credit card without a male cosigner, if she could get one at all.\r\n\r\nAnd, as we can see from current history, many men still view women as property, indeed, as playthings.\r\n\r\nIn addition, as a lifelong reader of Playboy (and at the risk of starting something), I must, with some trepidation, question how Playboy pictures can be conflated with pornography, unless the conflator believes that nudity is inherently pornographic, a position I do not share. I would argue that said person, at the least, has never seen a copy of Hustler. nor an image of the Venus de Milo. \r\n\r\nWhy for that matter, do you think the great masters of painting have painted so many nudes?

(2342,2499,'2018-03-06 20:33:46','Michael','Great show!','I love the idea of tuning around and simply demonstrating what you can hear. However, I would suggest to add a bit more of commentary to make it more meaningful to those who not already know what they are listening to. \r\n\r\nLet me add, that the morse code (CW) signal in both cases was a french station F5IN. Calling CQ DX, a general call for far away stations, in the first bit and just finishing a transmission in a contact in the second one.\r\n\r\nWhen Tom, DF2BO, described his antenna set up, this left me mouth gaping. Yagis 2 elements on 80m (3.5Mhz) and 3 elements on 40m (7Mhz)! These are monsters, way beyond what any \"normal\" amateur will be able to put up. Just an amazing configuration, that almost makes me drool, when thinking about... \r\nI think this is the kind of background information that makes sense to add, to put the audio in context.\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael','2018-03-06 20:37:45'),

This event is a mini radio rally it originally went under the title of junk night but has since gone up market, it\'s held at Cockenzie & Port Seton Community Centre usually around the beginning of August, I\'ve been going there for a number of years now best bit about it is meeting up with old friends and sampling some of the home made food. On the haul I usually end up with very little I just happened to be lucky this year.','2018-03-10 15:17:32'),

(2350,2499,'2018-03-10 16:46:45','MrX','re Great show!','Hi Michael, many thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the show and your probably correct that a bit of commentary might have been a good idea. There was a couple of reasons that I chose not to add any commentary first it made the podcast easier to make but the real reason was that I was trying to create a bit of mystery for people that had never heard the strange sounds you\'d find when tuning around the amateur radio HF band which I thought might be the case for a large portion of the audience. \r\n\r\nWhen I was a young boy I remember listening to old second world war valved receivers that I occasionally had access to and was fascinated by the strange sounds and voices having no idea what I was listening to I thought initially giving no explanation would create more intrigue for those that had never heard HF before and if there interest was gripped then they could have a look for some show notes. I\'ll probably add some commentary next time if I do a similar show.\r\n\r\nPS many thanks for deciphering the Morse code (CW), and yes that was some incredible set-up DF2BO had certainly beats my half wave dipole flung in the loft :)','2018-03-10 16:55:46'),

That\'s not something I\'ve ever considered before.\r\n\r\nSecondly, when you actually discussed the \"loudness\" of your own thoughts and what types of sounds successfully caused you to lose track of them, it was ALSO something I\'d never considered.\r\n\r\nWell done, Sir. Well done.','2018-03-10 20:03:40'),

But it was Dave, and somehow there was a Part 3, so maybe there were something useful in there?\r\n\r\nWow, I was so wrong about knowing everything there is to know about readline. I don\'t know how useful the capitalization things are, and C-t I already knew about and I think it\'s mostly useful for when you have pressed C-t by mistake ... but M-b and M-f, OMG.\r\n\r\nI have needed these for years. I usually hop around with C-left and C-right, but when you\'re one mosh, one tmux and one su down, usually all arrow keycodes are long gone, and it\'s all misery. Now with M-b and M-f my life quality will drastically improve!\r\n\r\nAlso interesting to know what the args thing is for. I\'ve been vaguely aware of it as it\'s easy to trigger by mistake, but I think I will use it more now that I have been taught exactly what it does. Maybe for counting the length of git commit messages, for example. You want a 60-character max commit message length? M-6 0 C-b after you typed your message will show you by how much you overran the limit!\r\n\r\nThanks, Dave. As always a great contribution, even for those of us who may think we already know everything.','2018-03-11 13:06:02'),
