Not the poster you're replying to, but yes definitely. I worked through the Algebra 1, 2, Differential Calculus, Differential equations, Integral Calculus, Linear algebra, Multivariable calculus, Statistics and probability, and Trigono

Echo this sentiment completely. I'm the only one in my team covering both hardware designs, software development, and sales. I'm not nearly as expert in any of these areas as my colleagues, but my manager can throw pretty much any

Khan Academy. I completed all their Math modules over the course of a Summer and, frankly, learnt more from their content than I had in 10+ years of mainstream Math education. I feel like if I had done it sooner I would have been an A* stud

I have the strictly opposite advice to recommend. Ditch the cushioning completely. I had stress injuries every year until swapping to barefoot shoes, and have experienced none since. It changed my gait and allowed my stabiliser muscles to a

I've wanted to give Mister FPGA a go for the longest time, but the boards are never in stock any time I look. How are people getting their hands on them?

My heart still aches about the loss of Mr. Pratchett. Of all authors, he is one of the few with such a lengthy catalogue of which I've not only read every one, but all of them multiple times. He was truly a once in a generation writer.

I can echo that sentiment. My original xbox was chipped. As a hacky kid with no money, it was the only way I could play new games. Guess who went on to own every xbox generation for the next 10+ years?

I think you're reading the situation completely wrong here. Yes, we should make energy cheaper, cleaner and more abundant. I don't think anyone with any real stake in the game is rallying against that fact. The issue most people h

To piggy back on the optimising twitter comment, does anyone know how to disable recommended content on Twitter? I keep getting people telling me that I'm missing out, and I've fine tuned my feed so it's a bunch of scientists

It's not precisely the same, but the ZSA Moonlander has the same layout with stilts and a wrist rest so that you can position it how you feel best. The real winner is their Oryx firmware that makes reprogramming the keys on the board a

I have some friends in Turkey that I've discussed it with. In short, immediately cashing out any Lira to Euros (normally at a horrible rate), stocking up on long shelf-life essentials, and simply weathering the storm. Many people are m

I've recently started the move over to the Netherlands. The things that were keeping me in the UK (the last vestiges of our socialist governmental policies) have been torn to shreds by the current Tory government. I've also lost a

Doesn't have to be a FAANG to do something impactful. Many of the other Tech 100 companies have things that you can work on at scale that are fulfilling. I work at a semiconductor company on projects that end up in almost everything, a

We're on opposite ends of the spectrum. I love English mustard. Even the idea of that nose burning, eye watering sensation makes me drool. No sandwich is complete without it.

It's not gone, just rusted. The oil to fix that is simply spending time in a creative space. Keep making time for yourself to build something. Even if you sit at a bench for 2 hours and do nothing (I bet you won't) it's movin

In the UK almost everyone uses trained instructors, although provided you have an L plate on your car anyone with over 5 years experience driving can take you out for practice. Most don't learn that way however, because the test is dif

Intel doesn't implement CUDA, but they're working on a CUDA to DPC++ (their parallel programming language) migration tool to make the jump less painful. I've tested some of the NVIDIA samples with it and it seems to do the va

This sort of data is reasonably accessible in the UK, although perhaps not quite to the same degree as your app. Either way, I suspect the value-add is less than it would be in the US. Rightmove, the primary property app in the UK, gives yo

From my (very brief) experience with FPGAs, for every popular IP block you can usually find an open-source equivalent that does the equivalent. Certaining for HDMI, I've used hdi-util from GitHub before and it worked on my old Cyclone

The reason is that every other major country subsidises chip manufacture in some way or another, making the US undesirable. Last I read, China has subsidised fabs by upwards of 70%. Europe has followed suit with their new chip funding legis

Poor analogy. In Mario, the goal is to move forwards and back, or jump, and run towards the end. In Dwarf Fortress, its to manage a small civilization. The only other examples of games akin to it are RimWorld (difficult without a wiki), Fac

A fatal flaw of the android ecosystem; Apple users see them all as one and the same. I have both my Samsung S6 and my Nexus 6P (business phone) from 2014/15 still working, with the first as my daily driver still to this day. On the oth
