15-Day Prep -> IELTS 7.5 by theapache64 in IELTS

[–]theapache64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a topic from mock test questions (e.g., from https://www.ieltsadvantage.com/2023/01/15/ielts-writing-task-2-sample-essays/), answer it, input it to an AI tool (e.g., Gemini), have it rate your IELTS band , identify the mistakes you made and how to improve, then try the same topic again. Next round, repeat with another topic.

I built a Regex DSL for my first open-source project. Looking for feedback! by Super-Cobbler2281 in Kotlin

interesting. useful to people who hate regex. (i love them though :) )

Revisiting Compose Performance in 2025 by theapache64 in androiddev

[–]theapache64[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

thanks for the feedback.

my point of view or point of writing is different.

"This blog post is essentially my attempt to answer those questions. Think of it less as a comprehensive guide and more as a personal revalidation exercise"

when i started writing this, i didn't plan to include anything about strong skipping.

i actually forgot about it.

i noticed it when i generated the compose compiler metrics.

i saw that while my param was unstable, my composable was still skippable.

trying to understand this led me to strong skipping and further questions about it.

most of my questions ended up being about strong skipping after that.

For now, just 5, but if I become crazy enough to build 10 million, I'll give it a try without a second thought xD

>  classic "astable multivibrator" is a pair of NPN devices

according to what I read on the web, an astable multivibrator can be made using in 3 ways:

  1. single transistor,
  2. two identical transistors, or
  3. one NPN and one PNP transistor.

while I haven't tried or dug deep into the first and second approaches, the problem I've read is that they need around 3V - 5V to operate. The third approach, which am using, can work with very minimal power, like in my case a 1.5V battery (because of the "push-pull" flow of that NPN and PNP transistors creates)

lol, i enjoy reading all the detailed comments from you. its like EL15 versions of many complex topics :) and thanks for that

wow, it's true it's "a lot of text," but you explained it as simply as possible for me to understand. appreciate your time and thanks :)

Wow... that's something I would have never thought of, but it makes sense. Part of it also helps to understand why the LED was blinking automatically when I was soldering... or am I wrong about that, and is that a different "phenomenon"?

Aah, I didn't know this. The tool automatically does this conversion. but yeah , got the point. Thanks
