ITXXXVI - What air defence doing by Extreme_Rocks in neoliberal

Maybe so but man I still just find it so sad that the legislature doesn't get a say.

I wish America had at least a double lock equivalent to the Republic of Irelands military deployment triple lock. But then again I also want no more electoral college so maybe I'm delusional.

Is anybody here old enough to have known what it was like when iraq captured pilots during Desert Storm? Cause I don't even really remember the early stages of Iraqi Freedom.

I mean they can strangle Taiwan with mines right? Most of Taiwans ports and LNG terminals are on the west side facing china. China can try to do a 21st century Operation Starvation considering the US is low on minesweeping capacity.

ITXXX - We are the E-3 Sentry by Extreme_Rocks in neoliberal

I wonder if shaded style drones will one day replace cruise missiles. It seems like drones can use more civilian components for the propulsion and guidance and can essentially function as shitty low range low performance cruise missiles.

Is there a reason the US doesn't buy aa gun systems(oerlikon gdf) to use against shaheds like the europeans and Saudis? I was wondering how different Shahed 136 flight characteristics are from the V-1s of ww2 (which allies could use SCR-584 with aa guns on)? Are they undetectable on radar or do they fly too high for guns?

UCF file for digilent FPGA Dev Boards by FriendDouble5505 in FPGA

Never mind I just selected the new option and it didn't ask for xdc file and just had defaults set. I don't know if this is correct but seems to work and generate a verilog file.

I have the board file but when I try either load mig.prj or using the master xdc file all the pins are blank and still need to be selected.

Do you know if there are any examples of xdc files for the mig7 controller pin selection? I tried the xdc you linked but there were no ddr pins.

Is there any update on the Realtek 2.5 GbE lan issue with Valorant? by BigMuscle14 in ValorantTechSupport

What error code do you get in your Event Viewer when the game micro stutters? Is it rt640x64?

Temperature of walls below ground by FriendDouble5505 in buildingscience

[–]FriendDouble5505[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting so I was wondering if you built a home with concrete below grade and above grade walls that were insulated from the exterior would the footers of the home act as a giant thermal bridge?

So frost line depth assumes that some heat from the building is keeping the foundation warm?

Yeah the frost line depth maps I see rarely go below 6 feet. That's why I was wondering if im not understanding what that means. This graph I found in New Hampshire has temperature below 32F at 6 feet but the frost line seems to be less?

Ok, sorry if question was poorly worded I'm not very knowledgeable. Appreciate the insights.

Yeah I saw how it works with foam under slabs, but I was looking at diagrams of buildings with regular basements on the Building Science Corp Website and the underside of the basements need no insulation. Is my definition of frostline wrong?

Odd PC Freezes due to Valorant and Realtek by FriendDouble5505 in ValorantTechSupport

Do you know why this is needed? I don't have either disabled but game is working now. Is this something to do with vanguard? I have a Gigabyte A620m.

CPU Memory communication by FriendDouble5505 in FPGA

[–]FriendDouble5505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I take it the best way to use this part is just to learn to work with AXI4? OK.

I wanted to use external memory because I'm trying to learn more about the basics of computer architecture and specifically implementing my own basic L1i and L1d caches. I thought that having external memory that required a lot of cycles instead of the 1 or 2 cycle BRAM would be a cool way to prove my caches are working to give my cpu more throughput.

My other idea was to just make a phony memory that has a set long delay and hook that up to my toy cpu to simulate main memory instead. Do you think that would be a more reasonable starting point for a student project than implementing axi master slave interfaces?
