    People conflate the ideas of happiness, and comfort. Money buys access to increasing levels of comfort, but comfort becomes normalized very quickly. Once you've become accustomed t…

    You've made me do even more digging and now I'm even more confused. ATMega328P, data sheet specifically calls out using that it cannot represent full range, ADC = VIN * 1024 / VREF…

    This was a genuinely thought provoking article. I had to challenge some personal assumptions. Coming from an electrical engineering background, I disagree with how the author prese…

    That’s the mental model that works for people, specifically those that come from VM workflow. Ironically that’s how Docker works on every platform where it’s running a non-native O…

    I have a wonderful book that explores this idea of an atlas of flavours that work together. The flavor bible. I can assure you that it does not contain 1800 ingredients in all of t…

    I find it weird today that we are still fascinated by video wall papers. This was literally my first hack I did in high school in 2005. Doing something I’d never seen done before, …

    Tailwind isn't just a framework; it's a design system. The creators of Tailwind wrote the brilliant book "Refactoring UI" [0], which presents a systematic design system, introducin…

    I think you miss understood the challenge. They are using a 60Msps ADC with a parallel port interface. The challenge is capturing the 600Mbit/s of data and having enough CPU and me…

    I love your reverse psychology analogy. That does make me wonder, if a cap past its SRF is an inductor, and and inductor past its SRF is a cap, why not swap caps for inductors and …

    Loop inductance is what really matters with decoupling. Once you understand that, it becomes really easy to make good decisions. This article explains how you can approximate the i…

    Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. It’s very frustrating that the tried and true method of sampling comparators has become prohibitively expensive due to niche parts. I suspecte…

    Did you miss the point of the article? JPEG-XL encoding doesn't rely on quantisation to achieve its performance goals. Its a bit like how GPU shaders use floating point arithmetic …
