It is common in English to make statements like this that are attempting to assert a general hypothesis, and are not expected to pedantically account for every individual human being.

#1 is weird. I would never look at a bipolar sensor with a wide hysteresis and think "latch", but after re-reading it that's totally what it is and makes me rethink my idea of a latch. And here I just thought they were for no

Good point. I guess in that instance--if had to argue--people think by just stepping away from the path of the diesel exhaust solves the problem and don't have to think about it anymore except in the context of "boy that one car s

All of your examples have one thing in common: a very long feedback loop. Human brains weren't designed to comprehend feedback loops that aren't a few days (hunter/gatherer), weeks (exertion), or a few years at most (gestatio

I live in Portland. 70% of my friends don't have cars. My friends are in the 40-60 age range. If you live in rural or poorly design burbs, cars are necessary by design. If you live in a city, like the vast majority of the world, you do

What you are describing is: Hobby vs. career. You basically want all the fun creative parts without the process and review and maintenance required for a product that has responsibilities. It's like building a shed in your back yard vs

Is that really fractal in the sense of fractional dimension? Or is it just self-similar? I watched a video on this for 3b1b and it undid 30 years of thinking I knew what "fractal" meant and now I know nothing.

Just making a bunch of phony rules is writing a shell script with extra steps. How about converting electron-forge-webpack-ts to make. That would be epic.

by FatActor 4y ago
Not only that, but look at any advanced-age project that uses make. There are layers of includes, and defines and rules are smeared across multiple files. I think many modern web-build tools were made by people who thought "hey, I can

Back in the late 1990's I had a laptop and was working in a cafe and the barista asked me if I worked in tech - I said I did - and then proceeded to excitedly go on about how Transmeta was going to dominate the x86 market. Yes, a baris

Are we talking about the same thing? An OTA firmware update of 100MB seems about 100X what I'm used to in the Cortex-M space.

Would be great if we could get some actual screenshots of the boards rather than speculating. That's why I'm curious to see if 1985 is the same as 2023. Without data we're just guessing.

When I starting learning circuit analysis in college in the 80's I would draw out the pedal schematics via hand-inspection of the board itself and try to figure out wtf they were doing. I didn't have access to part #s until I was
