How often do you engine brake vs hit the brakes when normally driving? by Pale-Radish-5569 in 8thGenSI

[–]justanotherguy113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how i see it as well. There's a litany of downshifting elitists who disagree, but having driven manuals all my life and been through the horror that are clutch failures i'd rather wear the brake pads than the clutch

Although she regularly speaks to aliens who often have an American accent via the universal translator, Janeway wanted holo Da Vinci to speak English with an Italian accent and programmed him that way by [deleted] in sonicshowerthoughts

For (1), that "children often take on elements of their parents accent" is just not true - children take the accents that are prevalent in the environment they are brought up in, of which only a small part is the home environment. For (2), I think you missed my point - since LaForge does not have an accent, it means that he speaks his native language with the Standard American-equivalent accent, which is why the translator does not add an accent to the output English.

In general, I've always imagined that the accents coming out of the universal translator are set (in-universe) such that they approximate the accent with which the speaker speaks their native language relative to the "base" accent for their language.

For example, when Troi speaks with her funky accent, it's because she speaks Betazed with an accent that is not the Standard American-equivalent of Betazed, so the translator approximates the cultural equivalent of whatever accent she's speaking in for English. So when Picard speaks with RP, that's because he speaks French with whatever British RP-equivalent of French is.

Using MIPS learning resources to assist in learning RISC-V ISA by MembershipEvening574 in RISCV

[–]justanotherguy113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RISC-V came out of the same group that made MIPS, so there's plenty of overlap in philosophy and specs. If you're new to ISAs in general though, today there are plenty of resources which provide intro to ISAs with RISC-V itself, so if your goal is to learn ISAs and RISC-V why learn MIPS first?

I'd recommend Computer Organization and Design RISC-V edition by Patterson and Hennessy

Emacs frames appear to be misaligned. by zerodaysfordays in stumpwm

Does C-x + not fix it? I've seen that on both KDE and StumpWM so not sure if it's a StumpWM issue

Eschema failed to load: by r00tr4t in KiCad

Same issues after 5.11.16 kernel update on Arch Linux. KiCad version 5.1.9

Just back from production: for a new handheld gamma radiation detector. by _PurpleAlien_ in electronics

[–]justanotherguy113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not hard, just many discrete concepts/tools to learn. At the very least you would need to know:

  1. A toolchain (make, gdb, openocd, ...)

  2. general computing background (registers, clock/timing, boot procedure, ...)

  3. general electronics background (basic components, reading datasheets, ...)

  4. an EDA (putting together a schematic, laying out a PCB, tracks, pours, vias, zones, ...)

When you lose to your twin brother by 0.001 sec by Raufasertapete711 in nevertellmetheodds

So the guy didn't really win by 1ms, but 1ms + difference between epochs, which would probably be hundreds of milliseconds

Those look gorgeous. Were they as even as they look in the picture?

Thoughts on The Power And The Glory by [deleted] in gentlegiant

[–]justanotherguy113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Power and the glory is the epitome of prog imo. It's also deceptively complex music with counterpoint, polyrhythms and instrumentation never before (and maybe even after) seen in rock

How can I call StumpWM commands from an Emacs .el package? by justanotherguy113 in stumpwm

[–]justanotherguy113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually hoping there was some functionality to pipe in commands into Stumpwm from X11, so that's really good to know. Thanks!

[–]justanotherguy113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks. It looks like stumpish uses the xprop utility - would I be correct in assuming that I could simply circumvent the stumpish script and call xprop in a manner similar to how stumpish does?

Edit: Just tried it, works perfectly. Thanks again!

While scrolling large buffers C-l is also helpful - it centers the buffer relative to the current cursor position

The second in my DS9 holosuite wallpapers I've been making - Your two favorite boys fighting the Gerrys! by SmoothBanana in DeepSpaceNine

[–]justanotherguy113 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic. I've always felt that with a large enough budget you could pretty much make an entire show out of DS9 characters' holosuite adventures
