Ugh, how I loathe the term "full stack". Many who claim this have attended a 12 week crash course where they're armed with the programming equivalent of heavy weaponry and then turned out onto the world to "engineer"

I don't think that it is at all difficult to suppose that we humans have a sort of "Boot ROM" to get us started in the world. This basic brain wiring pattern is then patched, if you will, over many decades to make us the pers

I worked in a union shop once, as a summer intern. Every day, we were told to be in the break room at 7:59am to begin promptly at the 8am bell. By 4:30 or 4:45pm, everyone was back in there, waiting for the clock to hit 5pm. One day, I need

I still use it, every single day. Works well and now has SSL encryption to the server, which cuts down on snooping. However, true end-to-end requires client support.

Instead of doing that, I'd simulate "network loss" by substituting a 50 ohm dummy load for the output antenna. This assumes that it is a connector, not soldered right to the board. This way, there is no "fault" othe

Ah, Standard ML. That brings back great memories of my compiler class at University. This was the first functional language that I was truly comfortable with, and a great tool to write our toy compiler.

Having written at least one tool in Tcl/IncrTcl, widely used within our company for chip-level verification, I would tend to disagree with you. Using a standard Tool Command Language to control your EDA Tools, is a wonderful concept. T
