    The idea is that you would apply a high voltage to just the cable, with nothing else attached. If it's just a cable, no harm no foul. On the other hand, if you start seeing smoke f…

    You also see this in chip design EDA tools, at least the good ones. Not only will they record the equivalent CLI command that affects the "data", but some will also record the comm…

    And that system maintains a hierarchical relationship, you and your neighbor share the first n words. Makes much more sens e

    But why is it important to you? Do you think the other candidates are couldn't, or didn't, produce similarly impressive code?

    I'm not necessarily pro-big banks, but JP Morgan and GS were two of the banks LEAST in need of a bailout. GS was short MBS at the time, so your description is .

    You are correct. Total # of masks for a modern IC can be 30-50 or possibly more. And with double and even quad patterning on the critical layers, that's 2 or 4 masks for a single l…

    Probably because the cost of the mask writers is so huge. As the article says, only 10 - 12 mask writers sales are expected in 2017. My guess is these machines will run 24/7, pract…

    Well project A is using B for a commercial purpose, namely the business of licensing out A. So it seems like it would be your first option, right?

    Yes, see Syntacore's SCR1, Clifford Wolf's PicoRV32,etc. Granted these are smaller, microcontroller-class cores, but still in pure Verilog. I'm sure there are others out there with…

    And increasing the voltage reduces the propagation delay, letting you shorten the clock period (increase frequency). This only works so far, however, before you run into other prob…

    "he won't fire you" OP literally starts the post saying he was fired.
