    I am using "Switching Power Supply Design" from Pressman, Billings and Morey and "Switmode Power Supply Handbook" from Billings and Morey. Both are excellent resources and look at …

    Yeah. I use a lot of linear regulators. And they have even more advantages. For example, they are simple. They do exactly what you think they do. They don't leak. They don't create…

    What you say doesn't make much sense. AFAIK there exists no popular belief that physics was different in early universe. The physics was the same, the only thing that was different…

    Contrary to some opinions here, I think this is very good advice. I am always giving as much notice as I can. And also try to finish my projects and accommodate my employer/client …

    No. That's far beyond our capabilities. Somebody calculated that LHC would have to be over 1000 light years in diameter to do this (and then still we would have to wait for thousan…

    I am not a huge fan of AI but I cannot deny this is probably biggest game changer since smartphones came out. I find it a bit strange (although entirely predictable) that some peop…

    It is interesting but my data is useless. I lost over 70 pounds since July last year but I don't have any good record of blood sugar measurements. I did measurements whenever I lik…

    My blood sugar goes below 60 but I am not hypoglycemic and no, the alerts are not useful. And yes, the measurements are correct -- I have more than one way to measure blood sugar l…

    Can confirm. Just at this moment I have a Dexcom G7 attached to my arm and I don't even have diabetes. Just using it to learn a little bit about my blood glucose patterns. But thes…

    I can make good tasting beef broth but I usually don't even bother. I make a huge, 15L pot of broth. I use various pieces of meat, especially ones that have a lot of collagen. If I…

    And this is meant to be proof of what exactly? Somehow doing one thing right is supposed to prevent obesity in every single case? That all obesity must necessarily be because of pe…

    Next level is removing most or all carbs from your diet and restricting your eating window to a short time every day, no more than 4 hours. Which is what I do besides longer fasts.…
