Re:Pasta Cooking Time on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @09:57AM (#45425507)
"I boiled some water, put in the pasta, and starting at 9min I removed a piece every 15s until I got to 14:30:"

When you remove pasta, you Cool down the water. So its not the same reault as actual 15 minutes cooking

Headline no bit. Then attack if.

There would be no branching if there were no "if". It's basic assembly. Not jumps. No loops.

You are a unique person. You have detailedknowlage of graphics assembly and windows api. And you have the creativity to write games. Which need the side ability of drawing.

This insane amount of knowlage is rare. And the ability to write about it is also not common.

You are very talented and hard working person.

I am in awe.

Re:Writing Code Was Never the Bottleneck on Thursday July 03, 2025 @01:37PM (#44457402)
I disagree. Writing code was a bottle neck in software engineering. Code review is for code that doesnt hold the standards. Debuging is for code not written well. Integration is needed when you dont take to acoount the properties of the different parts

Specifications are the only missing part. And that is done through the question to the llm.

Its about the simplicity of the circuit. The components are available for any electronic Technician.

Use an amplifier is not a basic circuit. Resistor diode capacitor cable and power source are the basic of electronics

The advantage of am over fm is the simplicity of the electronic circuit. In am its very easy to create a receiver to listen to broadcast. While an fm radio is too complicated for amature electronic.

So i dont belive am will ever be dropped for emergency radio

Re:United Kingdom Budget Visualization on Thursday October 03, 2019 @06:52AM (#21145564)
The "Budget" is 702 billion. The expense is 698 billion. Now the department expenditures is 702 billion. So they spend 4 more billions then they got. At that point I laugh.

so you see the Hm treasure.

Re:FCC fines robocaller record $120M on Friday May 11, 2018 @05:52AM (#17046033)
This is whataboutism. Choosing one method is not saying 100% of enforcing with only one method. 100 million calls means statisticaly one of 3 usa readers got a call frim him. Thats alot.
Thats what is bothering you? Did you hear about fukushima? Where are the water to cool it and make steam for the turbine to turn? How much water is needed for a reactor to run safly? What other matterial are they going to heat to turn turbine to produce energy? What is the amount of lost metirial expected over time? And what happen when no cooler matirial is available? Boom?

The custom in house encryption is a protocol that if tou have the skill to break, go collect 200,000$ in bitcoins https://telegram.org/crypto_contest
Re:WhatsApp's Signal Protocol integration is now complete on Wednesday April 06, 2016 @01:46AM (#11436864)
If you know something that telegram doesn`t know, maybe you should contact them, and ask your bitcoins worth of 200,000$ https://telegram.org/crypto_contest. Easier to "talk".

Ask Hacker News: How to setup my own video calls server
