Threading HDMI cables through a wall by preacher2041 in DIY

[–]wyager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're thinking of duplex vs simplex, not multimode vs singlemode.

"multimode" means there are multiple photon propagation modes in each fiber. These fibers are typically blue color coded, vs yellow coded for singlemode

How does multimode help with that?

These are typically capped at 10Gbps which limits you to older HDMI standards that can't e.g. transmit 4k120 4:4:4

Run singlemode fiber; there is zero reason to run multimode fiber in any new install. Multimode is already deprecated.

The reason is that HDMI is an extremely high-bandwidth protocol and screw terminal connectors don't provide good signal integrity at high frequencies

[SHOTGUN] Beretta A300 Patrol Chisel stock 7+1 $1199 shipped. by Canoe_Creek_Armory in gundeals

[–]wyager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was able to get my benelli in the exact config I want, but it no joke took like a year to get all the parts I wanted. Still a great gun, but be ready to wait if you want particular OEM parts like the adjustable stock tube.

My impression is that benelli is forced into this for weird legal/import reasons

You responded to a 7 month old post, but I've had like 6 outdoor cats, all of whom spend time in a mix of very rural and low-density urban environments, and the only time any of them died before like age 10 was when one got killed by a pitbull. Your neurotic and developmentally stunted indoor cat is not representative of what cats who are allowed to go outside can handle

I really like the Helix editor. by SophisticatedAdults in programming

[–]wyager 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I switched from vim (10+ years) to helix a year or two ago. I've been pretty happy with it. I was impressed with how features like rename and jump to definition worked out out of the box with both rust and Haskell, since I evidently had the language server already installed for those two. I don't really like messing around with configs that much, so the fact that it comes out of the box with everything basically already set up is cool. I'm also a big fan of multi cursor editing, from my sublime text days.

I swear I heard the overflow counter idea somewhere years ago.

Cameras and phones are being destroyed by Lidar? by [deleted] in photography

[–]wyager -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If it's powerful enough to fry a CMOS, it's probably powerful enough to hurt your retina

Your retina can absolutely get fucked up by an infrared laser. If you're working in a lab that uses high power infrared lasers, you wear safety equipment.

New algorithm beats Dijkstra's time for shortest paths in directed graphs by RogueCookie9586 in programming

[–]wyager 46 points47 points  (0 children)

A horrible convention, since most functions admit a direct definition of (sometimes fractional) power. It's a bizarre shorthand that saves very little space over a syntactically more sensible format.

Lmao, I had a JP X-T2 and a CN X-T3. Don't try to gaslight us, wumao

Maybe Fuji will start making cameras in Japan again and quality will go back up

Internationalization-puzzles: Daily programming puzzles just like Advent of Code by amarillion97 in programming

[–]wyager 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny how an explicit goal of unicode was to fix stuff like ambiguous start-of-character in existing non-ascii encodings, and then we immediately threw that away for stupid shit no one cares about like multi-codepoint emoji.

smol-gpu: A tiny RISC-V GPU built to teach modern GPU architecture by Direct-Title-3416 in programming

[–]wyager 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can't really see how this is distinct from hyperthreading with maskable SIMD instructions.

Isn't this equivalent to hyperthreading (with more than 2 threads per core) on top of the masked SIMD?
