Most of the research work was targeting a specific development paltform, so I don't have good instructions for doing it generally. Here is the paper we based our research off of: http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~johns/

If you are interested, I did some research on extremely fast, lower power, and low noise filtering using FPGAs or CPLDs.

How is gay marriage analogous to Mardi Gras in this context? Marriage provides certain federal and state benefits. By denying it some people, you are denying a certain class of people those benefits. If you cancelled or banned Mardi Gras, y

What if the officer is being filmed by a cellphone camera? There is an even greater chance of the incident being taken out of context. Especially if the police cameras are in a standard location for most officers (say pen pocket), then that

I was wondering why I couldn't find the post the author was referring to...

It's definitely a chicken-and-egg problem. All I meant by my comment is that I can't see FPGAs taking off if people are stuck connecting together IP or using Verilog/VHDL. It's just too low level.

I believe the next big jump in FPGA utilization will involve high-level synthesis. Verilog and VHDL are essentially analogous to assembly languages in terms of abstraction.

I felt it was good when it first came out. After using the Kindle Paperwhite with touchscreen, it was hard for me to go back to the DX. One of the most annoying parts about the DX was the PDF zoom. If the margins on your PDF are too big, t

As far as the lactose intolerance, I think it is indirectly referenced in this line from the article: It’s also sort of like feeding your cows candy bars — they like it, but shouldn’t eat too much or it upsets their digestive system.

Bleeding edge innovation usually occurs when researchers and engineers make progress using known or easily-modifiable processes. Most "breakthroughs" are dead-ends because process or scaling weren't considered in the initial research. True

It sounds like you have trouble being assertive. At the end of the day, you have to fight for your own interests. Assertiveness is the fine line between courtesy and self-preservation. Being assertive means you MUST stand up for yourself to

That's a fair point. In that case, wouldn't an automated reply be a fair solution?

Did you miss this line from the parent's post? But at least a simple automatic e-mail saying "Thank you for applying, regretfully the position is now filled" or anything indicating "don't wait for an answer" should be the norm. Yo

This. All it takes is an auto-responding filter. It is one of the shittiest feelings to send a resume to a company and get no response. I've done it many times, and I have had many no-responses. The feeling never got less shitty.

Frequently, people in a hiring position treat prospective candidates like cattle. They forget there is a human being behind that resume or portfolio. All it takes is a reply like this: "Hello _______, We are very appreciative that you
