Check out 1blue3brown’s excellent YouTube video lesson on quantum computing and Grover’s algorithm: https://youtu.be/RQWpF2Gb-gU Goes through qubits, state vectors and Grovers algo…

Teensy is based on iMXRT which are NXP, not Nexperia.

Sibling poster did a good job explaining how research relies on labs. Agree that complex EE work can be expensive for individual and smaller companies, indeed :) A comment on the a…

By fab you mean lab, then agree. Fabs are specific to the manufacturing of integrated circuits. EE encompasses more than just manufacturing of ICs, for example research and applica…

This is known as Lights-Out Manufacturing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_out_(manufacturing)

Hilarious. Reminds me of Pioneer CDJs as well, even on the flagship CDJ-3000 models. If you read the user manual it says: > About using MP3 files > This product has been licensed f…

Agree on this. As a layman in Australia, i had a friend who was coming back from the USA and asked him to buy me an iPhone before its release in AU (late-2007 iirc, iPhone 3G launc…

Why not both? It is possible to achieve comfort with privacy.

Isn’t this how certificate revocation flows work?

Indeed, this is a common vector for leaking PII and sensitive data. For example, what looks like an innocuous logging/print statement in an exception handler ends up leaking all so…

That, and the peace of mind of not being fired at-will when economic times aren’t so good.

My guess is it probably was a content update that tickled some lesser trodden path in the parser/loader code, or created a race condition in the code which lead to the BSOD. Even i…

Ooof missed that, thanks!

I’m amazed there was no mention of LISA [0] — a space-based gravitational wave detector using 3 satellites flying in formation 2.5 million Km apart! Seriously cool engineering, pla…

NXP runs a USB VID/PID Program [0] for small production designs ( [0] https://community.nxp.com/t5/Kinetis-Microcontrollers/NXP-US...

Not just institutions, individuals too. I’ve seen many individuals ‘dig their heels’ into protecting their own pet project/baby/solution/etc, mainly due to ego. It takes maturity a…

Likewise, I think I enabled an option to always show it. Its under System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Show window title icons

I think there’s an option somewhere to enable it, but yeah annoying it’s not default.

The point is to use what ever works best for your team, not blindly follow some process that may or may not necessarily work for you. Just as product requirements can change, so ca…

Indeed, Zuken is still a large player in Japan, and has a leg up with IC packaging tools which the big players (Cadence, Mentor) have that Altium doesn’t. Altium’s play has always …

Interesting, wonder if Renasas can push Altium past Zuken in the Japanese market, or if this is their play to capture more markets outside of Japan.

+1 for last.fm, so glad its still alive and that scrobbling still works :) Been at it since 2004 [0]! [0] https://www.last.fm/user/nudgeee/listening-report/year

Here’s the catch, as you scale up, more and more users could get caught in the edge case. Remember why we build systems — for end users to use. It is our job as engineers/technolog…
