Good on you, mate. A random internet stranger is proud of you. Genuinely!

Thank you!

That sounds fascinating and I love Boston. Do you have a link?

Have you looked into pressure advance calibration?

Hell yeah! Nice work

You got me curious so I found a larger version and it does look much more recent here https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EduhLDSWsAABjzB.png

New cars:

• Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi ‘68
• Dodge Charger SRT Demon ‘18
• Lexus LFA ‘10
• Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II ‘91
• NISMO 400R ‘95
• Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) ‘22
• Tesla Model 3 Performance ‘23

Personally I’m looking forward to the LFA

That would ruin my entire day

I’m definitely in the “for almost everything” camp. It’s less ambiguous especially when you consider the DD/MM vs MM/DD nonsense between US dates vs elsewhere. Pretty much the only time I don’t use ISO-8601 is when I’m using non-numeric month names like when saying a date out loud.

I don’t get it, but I’d like to. Would you explain the difference for me?

You can configure many routers to act as DNS servers, then advertise themselves to client devices as a DNS server (with a secondary like 8.8.8.8 or whatever). Then you can just use the hostname of the device you want to access and as long as your client device is using your router for DNS it will resolve correctly.

How specifically to set this up depends on your networking equipment

And it wasn’t just a 4KB “stick” of RAM or something, it was literally magnetic rings threaded onto wires called Magentic Core Memory. Further, 4 KB implies that it was 4096 bytes, but it was actually 2048 “words” consisting of 15-bits (+1 parity bit) [source]. 2048 words requiring 16 bits each means 32,768 magnetic rings weaved onto tiny wires. Oh, and another fun detail about magnetic core memory is that if you read a value, I.e check to see if one of those magnetic rings is set to 0 or 1, that is a destructive operation. So if you wanted to read without deleting, you have to read and then immediately rewrite.

Is this one of those “toxic relationships” I’ve been hearing so much about lately?

This and the post link appear broken for me. The source url works (but is paywalled) though: https://www.ft.com/content/8c247cb9-c14b-4fd6-94d6-300655c35c1e

Edit: Looks like archive.is is down at the time of writing
