    What I mean is that binocular vision just give us depth perception for a meter or so - about around where our hands can touch. Moving the head/body goes a little further, but that …

    Binocular vision is not only relevant for driving (well, maybe for the steering wheel, but that's not the point).

    Frankly, at the beginning? Anything you feel like. You can start, perhaps, with Just a title of what you're doing, pomodoros style. Maybe a note of something you thought but couldn…

    Thanks, saved some work. And I'll add that it in practice it is not even that much unless you're doing some serious training, like a professional athlete. For most tasks, the accur…

    The archaeologists know that and say as much in TFA: "The paints used in the reconstructions are chemically similar to the trace pigments found on parts of the surface of the origi…

    I'm just happy that both VHDL and ADA are in the list.

    It's not even just that: the shadows go mid-character, instead of using characters as pixels. It is just not ASCII ART at all, just some ASCII characters used as a filler.

    Different extension. The Honey like one is Capital One Shopping.

    Yes, but this costs pales in the cost of redoing in case of problems with side-etching and the overall tightened manufacturing constraints. And yes, they get to recover the copper,…

    Well, you may not have to worry, but if you have large unpoured areas on a design with a professional PCB manufacturer (of the traditional, high-touch kind), they will ask if you w…

    I'm not hardware designer and I'd like to learn more about getting into freelancing and consulting, do you have any pointers?

    Comment #39669758

    Oh, yes. Hardware products and projects, specially those complex enough to need an FPGA, will usually have a long development pipeline and even one year seems pretty short. And you…

    I live in a single-family unit in Uptown and would be surprised if my rate is anywhere below 95%, I'd be shocked and demand a recount. I order several times a week, often several t…

    I'm not an industry analyst, but the packaging issue seems a bit overblown. Yes, packaging for this kind of high density design as an iPhone is very specialized, but it does not co…
