Still using SVN here along with git. Not for coding, but storing CAD/EDA data. Large file support is the key here. Git LFS unfortunately is not very good and as soon as your repos grow into tens of gigabytes, git is not very fast anymo

I (as someone who designs electric and electronic equipment every day) agree. Low Voltage is a very specific term and typically means <1kV AC and <1.5kV DC in the industry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_volt

Thank you for that! Indeed the world has moved on since last time I worked with SPADs (2011). Canon progress you linked seems to be outlined well in several articles published by Kazuhiro Morimoto. Most importantly 3D-stacking the pixel rea

Most likely not. SPADs are good for detecting single photons (I have designed electronics for this), but to quench the pixel after every detection you need significant dead-time for the pixel. Single pixel needs to be an array here, size of
