I use nano all the time for production linux services. Its simple, effective and works really well in a shell session over a satlink connection. The key combinations make it a lot easier to not f*k up in those kinds of sessions.

The mobile operator 3 have upped their prices on pay as you go. They had a "123" PAYG plan that was 1p/MB 2p/Text and 3p/Min. They now are changing it on Feb 16th to 5p/MB 10p/Text 10p/min. They claim

I think Bill is answering in such a way to be politically neutral. Other questions he has in his post here read as if they are politically biased and well to be honest, in this global pandemic there shouldn't really be any political te

Most of the software I have written for work has no near on no functional / unit tests. It is industrial process monitoring software that runs 247 on remote machines thousands of miles away. Simple fact is it has to work, no if's

It may be the size on the page, or glyph rendering artefact but this font doesnt look... consistent. Dont get me wrong the font is brilliant, however atleast for me there are some points at which the rendered glyphs are over cut. Another wa

Every time I look at fork lightning of any kind, it keeps reminding me of natures version of a depth first search algorithm. If you ever watch a high speed capture of a fork lightning youll see it spray out and as soon as it gets a link to

This does not seam like a legitimate article. This is most likely fake news. The website cant even spell Nutrition right.

You could answer this by answering: Does Hacker News store personally identifiable information? Well: 1. Hacker News has no interest in personal information with regards to its news feed, 2. How does having an email address on your account

This article like the telegraph is utter bs. The power output of a mobile phone by standard is a max of 1 watt. And even then the mobile phone does not use 1 watt constantly. Hell, if it was the case that we were getting damaged by these ra

I went for a job interview with a company years ago just after I graduated. This was for a graduate position so I kinda made a few assumptive expectations on what they would want from me and my skills. Went in there, did their pointless psy

the codecs in most lossy compression formats usually nuke the phase information so here in this example as ASK is being used there isnt any lost of information. If he tried to encode phase changes in the sound then you wouldnt recover it si

Ive had this pedantic-ness in the past. I've noticed the obsessive compulsive behaviour of being attached to code. People I had to work with cared more about having every for-loop contain a ++i instead of i++ when generally most compil

i can understand the need for the large towers to TX AM band signals but grounding a directly fed antenna like that would kill the PA. You'd really screw up the SWR.

eh i wasnt expecting to be right. Although i would say they usually use heavy duty coax at 50ohm - i believe - not sure though

i mis-read your comment - it has no affect at all as its not whats transmitting 50kW!

by gelo 11y ago
Why were they shorting the tower? Since the tower is metal, it will inherently start to resonate to the transmissive power. (The same effect can be seen when you touch a phono connector to an active amplifier, the 50/60Hz hum can be he

by gelo 11y ago
i don't think it would change (probably wrong) since the active energy is only generated by the final PA's in the system. the Antenna's gain is only from the passively reactive design. Its like making a violin string resonate

50000W of RF power is approximately 355kV - if you work out based on that 1W dBm is 7.1 Volts.
