That's a good point. The project-first approach worked very well for me when learning new software frameworks/libs/etc. My main concern with EE is that once I'll get to the brain-computer interfaces, I'll be in a si

About 1/2 of the textbooks came from the old course outlines (e.g. https://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~ece207/ ) and class shopping lists on UWaterloo book store. About 1/4 were guesses, and the other 1/4 I don&#x2

OP here. Nice, thanks! I didn't put math down because my undergrad was in applied math and I got to use it a lot early in my career. But sounds like I'll definitely need a refresher.

Yeah, my first guess is the movement of that faint inner line triggers the Parasol cells or some other movement detection cells in our retina ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasol_cell ). Possible underlying circuit:

I don't think it's feasible to have a satellite orbit at 100 km and not fall out of the sky in a few days due to atmospheric drag. Even ISS at 300-400 km orbit has to be regularly reboosted because it's continuously losing al

Yeah, from personal experience (and from watching others), a lot of the habits like the ones the author cites last a few months and then you end up dropping them for whatever reason. That said, I did manage to stick to an explicit system fo

I have a bunch of side-projects that I've been working on for a while. To be honest, I prefer sticking with major cloud vendors (currently on GCP) because: 1. They already have reasonably straightforward ways to publish apps, e.g. I us

I recently quit coffee and was also surprised to get more energy (after the headache was gone), especially in the late afternoon and evening. That's really unfortunate since I really enjoy the taste of coffee.

Fullstory basically lets me sit behind the shoulder of every user and e.g. watch them use the app in a way I didn't think of, or stumble over the features that I thought were obvious but turns out are very counter-intuitive. It's
