The market has changed significantly, there's much less need for this kind of education for a 3 cent microcontroller. I've found ADI still has some great educational material, although that's partly because they've been

A 2N3904 will show similar avalanche behavior and is still widely available. But, really, I just took the opportunity to talk about Jim Williams and his magnum opus that is AN47!

Thank you for sharing your struggles so openly for us to learn from. It's good to hear you've found your self-worth from within instead of without now. Wishing you good luck!

Nice write up and sneaky introduction to time-domain reflectrometry but I'd like to point out the classic answer to this question is the famous Jim Williams pulse generator: https://github.com/podonoghue/Jim_Willia

That's interesting, I didn't know about transposition tables, thanks for the explanation!

by KK7NIL 9mo ago
Not when you include transpositions, where you arrive at the same position from a different move order, in which case saving board states instead of moves could be very valuable.

You're the one making a big assumption: that this is a short term movement in the dollar. Trump has made it clear he wants a cheaper dollar to make US exports more competitive and JPM is forecasting another 10% drop in the value of the

To be fair, that's a small redesign of a 40 year old design (everything is still through hole, for example). The AFG31k is a brand new design from the ground up and it still has GPIB! And it's far from an isolated case, GPIB has a

Worth noting that GPIB is still very common in labs and present in modern lab equipment that's still in production. Tek's AFG31000 is one example but there's countless more. Mil/gov customers are still die-hard GPIB use
