Give it to 'em, man. Real engineers maintain their mission-critical systems by running their obsolete software on obsolete budget consumer PCs.

By comparison to other search engines. Duckduckgo seems to give me better search results and is less influenced by advertisements and trends. What finally pushed me away from Google was its incorrect assumption of equivalence between differ

The term is "synthesis." You have a synthesis tool which turns your high level (verilog or whatever) hardware description into a netlist of gates and other hardware primitives. That's followed by "implementation," w

Juul pods are 3 and 5% where I live. That's typical for vape juice. Are they different elsewhere?

This is pretty neat. I think it would be great as a chat heads up display feature for video games.. your avatar could be a creature or a character from the game or whatever you wanted.

I did some work to attempt this sort of thing using a kinect, back when they were newish. We were trying to automate the sizing of custom-fitted clothing. It was easy enough to get rough measurements, but very difficult to get repeatable an

Student files are not incompatible, but as soon as a student licensed copy touches a part or assembly, it becomes "tainted" (such that it says "student edition" in the corner or something). I worked at a university-based

That didn't make sense to me, so I looked it up and found there's a good wikipedia article about it (which you probably read as well.) It's too much for me to explain poorly in an HN comment, so I'll just link it for any

Oh man, this is awesome. I have very fond memories of playing the original C&C. My copy of C&C had a Tiberian Sun ad that I always thought looked amazing, but I never did play it. From the Ars Technica video, it looks like it ought

People don't want to pay because most of the shit out there is shit. It's all supported by sensational headlines, controversial stories, fluff, and lies. If it all disappeared, we'd be left with things that exist because pe

Sunlight still gets inside, it's just not built like a greenhouse. Search for photos of the interior of the building... it looks lovely. One big benefit that the article mentions is that you get a constant supply of fresh air, vs the r

Windows 10 has a "this is a metered connection" option that might help in that situation. I use it when tethering my work laptop to my phone, and it seems to prevent that sort of abuse.

It's actually much worse. I use SolidWorks (parametric 3D solid modeler for mechanical design) and my company pays around $4k per seat, and it requires you to use a specific SolidWorks-certified GPU driver, which means you are foreve

It's a tool that you use many times a day every day for years, and understanding how to do it well helps you make money... doesn't it make sense to spend some time to learn about how it works and how to use it?

I like IEC 60309 best. 480V 30A three phase IP68/69k rated plugs and sockets? No problem with pin-and-sleeve connectors. Any food processing plant you go to will be full of them. Probably not a great choice for a table lamp, though.

They're most often used as measurement references. You inspect parts on a surface plate (table or block that's very flat) using a dial test indicator on a rigid base that can be slid around. The indicator has a very short range of

I have one of the Saleae devices, and it is wonderful. I still like (and sometimes really need) my more traditional full-size equipment, but the Saleae was inexpensive and it's easy to whip out and hook up to something. I don't kn
