So, tonight's goal is to continue with ngscopeclient performance work.
I started out by doubling the speed of the eye pattern *again* by moving index buffer calculation from CPU to GPU.
Next up is going to be getting the 100baseTX decoder to not be so slow. Right now of the 43 seconds of CPU time in the current 1-minute benchmark, 26.9 is spent sampling the MLT-3 waveform on rising edges of the recovered clock.
The thing is, we already *know* the sample values at the re…

Grr and argh.
The people who make government websites generally tend to do a halfway decent job of meeting the spec, but they really really need to learn to push back when the spec is FUCKING STUPID.

Picture of a WWII beach in Normandy, France showing rows of Czech "Hedgehogs", static anti-tank defenses used to defend against mechanised beach landings. A Hedgehog is a trio of steel beams 5-6 feet long welded at right angles (one in each axis of a cube essentially) to form a giant "jumping jack" style obstacle. Few tanks would be able to get stuck ON them because they're quite tall, but you have to drive around them otherwise if a tank or APC ran into one, the two legs in the direction of tr…

I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Photo of an antenna link between 12 meter and 15 meter segments, shown above a metric scale. The entire link is between 17 and 18 cm long. Dacron cord carries the load between the two segments, which are connected by banana plugs insulated by more heat shrink.
The same link as in the first picture, this time disconnected.
Linked dipole form showing one leg of a dipole with many links in it wound up for storage. The wire is wound in a figure eight to avoid twists. Several of the links are partially visible in it.
