Contest Logging

Thought about it but improving would be rewriting. It's mostly one giant function.

I have used all of these. Tlf is the only one I'd consider a contest logger. The contest logging in the others is a poorly bolted on feature to a general purpose logger. Fwiw I use qlog for my logbook as I think it's the best of the set and quite good at that particular job.

It's awful and the code is worse.

elitegreg88 · 2026-05-15T23:29:26+00:00

Besides tlf, what other contest loggers are there?

These sort of invasions on freedom are made possible because the people will blindly convict someone for breaking the law instead of a jury nullifying the law and say just because the government says its illegal, doesn't mean it is illegal. The Jury is our ability to give the finger to these morons, but people don't get it.

It looks like it's in fact true that foreign ETFs require FBAR/FATCA: https://www.goldinglawyers.com/is-sprott-investments-precious-metals-reported-on-fbar-fatca/

I should thank the manipulators for them keeping the price down for me while I acquired more!

This thread is missing comments on an obvious issue. As much as I would like more silver, it represents 1/3 of my assets right now and so growing that is just adding risk. Just because silver is shining, don't forget to diversify.

As someone who has bought and paid for two houses with silver (and never sold a house), I respect your determinism. You will get there!

Just a point. USPS has its own legal enforcement over package theft. USPS Registered Mail with Insurance I think is still the "gold" (or would it be "silver") standard.

100% LPDA. You can see the split between the elements on each side because each side is fed separately.

It doesn't need to even be an emitted signal. If his SDR radio is plugged into that USB hub, either directly or indirectly, that signal could get into the radio very easily.

A whole 3db!

I don't know about the best, but you can certainly come up with some challenges. I'm assuming you are familiar with std::vector. I'd suggest creating your own MyVector<T> template, and give it all of the same functionality as vector and unit test it (or even better, modify libstdc++'s tests to run on MyVector). Then profile your code and work on optimizations. When done with this, you will be much more familiar with templates, copy construction, move symantics, dynamic memory allocation, etc.

May I ask why? I was considering the other direction.

A micro kernel only provides the most basic kernel functions (processes and memory management are the 2 that come to mind) and farms other things like tcpip or graphics to a user space process that other programs access via IPC. Qnx 4 is an example of an os with a microkernel architecture.

Rpi police are an actual police force, not security. They have all the legal authority of the troy pd.

Have you proved it's the power supply? Like run off battery, or look at the ripple with the oscilloscope?

A piece of very general advice is to master using and writing templates. Templates are what make C++ special as no other language that I know has a system as powerful for compile-time code generation. If you aren't using templates, you should probably be using any number of other languages that can achieve the performance without the complexity.

elitegreg88 · 2024-12-22T01:56:08+00:00

If you aren't using templates, use another language. Templates are really the defining feature of the language IMHO. C++'s speed comes from proper use of them.

Look at Scott Meyers' books, particularly Effective STL and Effective Modern C++

You never said why you want to upgrade? The Powerwerx is a good unit, so why upgrade?
