It takes a little time for people to see why testing is important. Since you're new to the organization, tread lightly and keep an eye out for places where testing can really make everyone's life better. I've found that there

Thank you, Analog! I've used a number of these chips -- first-party driver support will also raise the quality of ported drivers to other systems. So good. Thank you!

Just as the only muons that reach deep-underground neutrino detectors are of very high energy, only the most-upvotable non-tech stories (think Omicron breaking news and mortars-up-the-bum) make it to the front page.

Based on personal experience, one might not know how much more pleasant a (good) elder-care living experience can be without experiencing it personally. It has been a godsend for our family that my parents were able to move into a retiremen

Color is really, really hard. I love the clarity of black-and-white imaging, but the thing that keeps me coming back to it more than anything else is the ability to successfully render my intended image on more electronic platforms. When wo

I found his lack of safety-glasses and ballistic shields disturbing, especially given that one of the rotors had already disintegrated. A piece of 3/4" plywood to stand behind would slow down a lot of lightweight shrapnel. Alas, o

Fig. 7 is definitely where it's at -- I had the same question, as a camera is not just a lens, but a camera obscura [1], both the lens and the 'dark box' within which an image is formed. My impression is that their metasurfa

We recently got a loaner car from our local Subaru -- lots of controls were touchscreen only, including climate and radio controls. Needing to take your eyes off the road to interact with safety-critical controls (defroster, for example) is

I recently borrowed a Fiskars x25 for the first time, after reading about them for many years. They really are better. Splits better than my maul and weighs less. I was surprised to find that the latter was more important. If it takes less

<looks up micro_cam> HillMap -- I use it all the time; it just works. :). (Also, pintech-bindings are the best. They changed the course of my life. The TLT5/6 design is sublime as long as you're not scrambling in talus.)

Agreed. It's real tempting to answer, "indoor plumbing". It's really nice to flip a lever and get clean, safe water. It's real good not to need to stroll to the outhouse, too.

The 1918 pandemic also killed 17-50 million people at a time that there were many fewer people. While it is probably an under-count, it appears that Covid has killed at least 5 million. Public health measures and vaccines have prevented a r
