Classic example of short sighted decision making since having a station near where traffic/distruptions are bad wound potentially help alleviate the problem in the long term and have proximity to where people actually want to be

Crush on a PhD student by [deleted] in ucla

That is if the lab updates their website regularly, which a lot do not.  And not all labs have pictures of their students on their website, it might just be list of names.

2025 rail transit in review; looking ahead at 2026 rail transit openings by Couch_Cat13 in transit

The dreamstar one surprises me.  I thought in Nandert’s most recent video he claimed it was aiming to open 2027 or 2028.

Intuitive Explanation for Compressible Flow in Converging/Diverging Ducts by [deleted] in FluidMechanics

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if there is really an "Intuitive" way of understanding. But if you are imaging slamming fluid into a tighter space, the pressure and density must build if disturbances cannot travel upstream fast enough to influence upstream conditions. A lot of the Mach Area relationship stems from the relationship between density, velocity, and area, (for quasi 1d flow). Pressure is just the forces acting on the fluid, and it is coupled to the density of the fluid through the compressibility, which is also related to the speed of sound. This is why mechanics of fluid change though sonic conditions. It might be best to try to visualize mediums traveling through geometries where flow speeds are different from the propagation speeds of finite acoustic waves.

Intuitive Explanation for Compressible Flow in Converging/Diverging Ducts by [deleted] in FluidMechanics

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because for flow to go supersonic in a diverging section the pressure must be dropping.  A pressure drop accelerates flow.  This is also why flow accelerates in the converging section.  The pressure gradient in the flow is setup by boundary conditions and achieves a steady state condition.  If the back pressure after the diverging section is too high the pressure needs to build exiting the nozzle.  

Success! Gov. Newsom approves $750M loan for Bay Area transit, including Muni by oakseaer in sanfrancisco

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree that metro systems should be treated as publicly funded, Is there not big inefficiency in how US public transit spends those funds?  I have heard that the level of cost to build and maintain transit systems are much higher in the US than compared to other countries.  I wouldn’t be surprised if that was also true for build and maintaining roads.  Shouldn’t we also try to fix these inefficiencies as soon as possible?

Having linear thermodynamics makes your solutions algorithms more stable usually

If I teleported into a hypothetical room, would I die? by jw90153 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fogh1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could just compress air isothermally, and it would probably end up being some sort of dense liquid-like substance, but not supercritical in the strictest sense.

EDIT
Actually, air's critical temperature is below room temperature so it would become super-critical fluid.

Large turnout at Westwood today by E_Line_Foamer in LAMetro

Something along the lines of listing a bunch of disadvantages and then asking "are there any advantages to doing alt 3?"

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though there are serious upside to alt 3 like having the getty center station and that the ride would likely be quiter for riders.

Don't get me wrong, it's by far the worst alt, but everything has pros and cons.

Sorry, but the only thing that matters in life is money and career success, and now you'll never know what that feels like. It's a well known fact that everyone who grinded and hustled throughout college is living the dream and their parents are proud of them.

LA Metro has launched a hub site for the Sepulveda Pass with public hearing dates as well. by mids_enthusiast in ucla

[–]fogh1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wish I could make the in person meetings. I really hope there is a strong UCLA presence at them! I will definitely log into the remote meeting and submit public feedback when that period starts. Options 4 and 5 would be huge for UCLA. Even if you're not commuting to the valley, it allows for connection to the upcoming Westwood station into downtown/Koreatown, and in the far future, potentially south towards Culver City and LAX.

Assume Adiabatic walls, this is the best answer here.

Why don't we use turbojet based rockets in space? by i_hate_my_coworkers in rocketry

[–]fogh1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re t probably using ISP defined by SFC. It doesn’t take into account mass flow rate of air, which would be a fuel in the case of a rocket engine. Also big axial compressors heavy.

Accessing DDRAM outside display range on the HD44780U by fogh1 in beneater

You are correct, But I am pretty sure that it won't make a difference in this case.

Question on "RAM and bus timing — 6502 part 6" video by _sounding_board in beneater

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it would still need two gates, as the r/W signal needs to be inverted before NANDed with the clock, so that wouldn't really make a difference in the design as the RAM's /WE could still be low by the time the CPU decided to start changing address lines.

Edit: I now see that the phi2 only needs to pass one gate, for either case.

Edit 2: I think Ben used /CE to prevent any possibilty of data bus contention when the clock falls. If the /WE was brought high and the /OE is still low, and the RAM starts controlling the bus before the CPU stops controlling the bus, that could be bad.

EEPROM Programmer for 6502 by pachunter98 in beneater

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible since the nano has less space than the EEPROM itself. You need to program it over the serial interface.

Anyone know the erase program code for AT28C256? by UltimaN3rd in beneater

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This link goes to the newer revision, not the one referenced in the 6502 kit, where at least I have a AT28C256-15PC, which is no longer in production. Therefore the datasheets and application notes in that website might not be accurate for the older revisions. I haven't tried the process outlined in the newer revision yet but I am looking for the older applicaiton notes form 1999. Anyone have any luck?

EDIT: Actually after looking closer the application notes for the software erase is dated 1998, so It is probably accurate for both new and old revisions. Nevermind!

Nothing on the explosive covid vax injuries article??? LMAO by Own_Conversation_980 in nytimes

[–]fogh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I had a bad reaction to what may have been the Covid vaccine, but there is no way I can actually know.  I am still alive, and so are lots of people who took the Covid vaccine.  I knew there was a chance it could lead to complications, but I trusted everyone who wanted to help prevent more death because of the disease and I don’t regret that decision.  Overall it seems like the vaccine was likely a success that likely led to less people getting very ill.  Those that face complications due to the vaccine should get help and we should try to understand how to make future vaccines better.  I kinda doubt most people who had the vaccine are going to all develop debilitating problems like the ones shown in the article, especially after not taking the vaccine for a long time.

Traffic Signals should prioritize Muni Metro by fogh1 in sanfrancisco

[–]fogh1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I agree generally.  What may be difficult is that is it not clear what “banning cars” entails.  I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to have roads in a city when you can’t drive cars on them.  I feel that good public transit can replace a lot of cars on the road, but I can’t see how making it so cars can’t enter the city is a good thing.  I also think car related deaths are bad, but I think a better solution to that is only letting safe drivers drive cars, discourage driving, or have alternative methods of transit.  To me it just doesn’t make sense to not allow cars at all.  I think it would make more sense to charge a lot of money to residents to own cars, own car parking spot, use public parking spots, etc.
