About stn8188

Check out my site: https://ShieldDigitalDesign.com I put blog posts there, and there's a small but growing hardware design knowledge base as well (at https://wiki.ShieldDigitalDesign.com).

Additionally, feel free to contact me any time, I love chatting about hardware, signal/power integrity, and high-speed digital design.

    I came in here to recommend Lattice as well, at least for small glue-logic type applications. I've used their various MaxhXO lines extensively and really enjoy working with them.

    Like many in this thread, I have a similar setup. I used to use I separate KVM, which did work but had a lot of cabling. Eventually, I decided on just a simple USB SPDT switch that…

    Even though I never cheated, I never wanted my programs to get erased... I just created an image of the "memory erased" screen and showed that to the teachers.

    The subheading to this article seems a little extreme: "To fill the talent gap, CS majors could be taught to design hardware, and the EE curriculum could be adapted or even shorten…

    `sl` is my favorite first package to install in any distro to get see if the package manager works :)

    I put together some of my thoughts on the latest generation of AI tools. Whether you love to use these tools, or actively avoid them, nearly everyone is most certainly intrigued by…

    It does sound a lot like the antagonist organization in The Space Trilogy novels...

    Same here. I spent a good chunk of the evening just today messing around with Steam to see what I could get running on Linux. It's been a while since I tried in earnest, but I got …

    Wow, the web version is neat in its simplicity! Thank you for the work on Solvespace. It's far and away my favorite MCAD program and always my first go-to when I need to crank out …

    No, you're not. The fact that people think the TSA is a joke (as noted within the body of the article) is what stuck out to me. The headline is lame.

    You make a great point, but (as noted in the article) some of us feel that the TSA is a joke for various reasons; one of which may be that the TSA did not actually accept forms of …

    The argument in the headline is sorta silly - I agree - but the quote I put in my other comment is the real reason I submitted this article.

    I was surprised too, but since I have one I figured I'd use it (before I got the Real ID). It's listed as "Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)" on https://www.tsa.gov/travel/…

    As I looked at the chart my first thought was regarding how many women were working a few decades ago compared to now. It's nice to see that the comments below the chart pointed ou…

    Thank you so much for sharing this! My kids all play instruments and I'm a bit jealous of their skill (I never played anything growing up). Over the last few weeks I've taken to bo…

    I had a similar pleasant experience with Skype. Back in 2009, I was deployed to the Persian Gulf. This was before ubiquitous cell phones (at least, I left my cell phone back in the…
