   MSP430 g series are under a dollar depending on what package you get. The DIP package is a little more expensive than the Smaller TSSOP but they are incredibly powerful.

   I use DuckDuckGo and it seems like it’s gotten worse on the last couple months. Whenever I search for programming questions I expect staovetflow to be on top bit lately I’ve been getting geeksforweeks blog or some BS showing at the top of t

   I’ve designed one or two circuit boards in the past but that’s about it. I did a lot of prototypes to get things to work the way I wanted it and then working with a manufacturer in China that was very patient with me while we work out all t

   I have a pretty good idea of what my take home will be for all the current preorders. But who knows when the well will dry up.

    I think the book has a really high virality factor. I was able to do a few posts on reddit, and people would like and share it. It's that whole "product market fit" thing. If you have a good product that people need or want,

    I just got super lucky. I launched it on Kickstarter and did a post on /r/arduino the day of the launch that just kind of blew up over there, and that got me to my 10k funding goal on the first day. Then someone stole the video an

    I launched a baby book, Computer Engineering for Babies ( https://computerengineeringforbabies.com/ ), back in September. And have surpassed my regular salary by a 3x. It’s still a side project because I am having a hard time

    At first I thought the popup at the end was showing the distribution of everyone’s scores which would be cool. I’d rather see how well I did compare to everyone else than how well I did compared to myself. Especially since it was my first t

    I haven’t spent much time on sales tax yet, but I do know there are Shopify plugins (tax jar being the one that comes to mind). I’m currently in Squarespace but don’t love it, and will probably swap to Shopify soon.

    Yeah, a few people posted videos and at least one of them got a lot of attention.

    That’s on my todo list. The tldr is that I designed the circuit myself and just started messaging people on alibaba, and that’s how I found my PCBA shop and my book manufacturer.

    My little hardware book, Computer Engineering for Babies launched on Kickstarter a few months ago and blew my mind by raising almost $250k. It’s a simple book with buttons and LEDs to demonstrate different logic gates. I just shipped out th

    I always thought of Marriott as being an ethical company. When the ethics and good business diverge is where things are difficult.

    I don’t understand how social security isn’t a pyramid scheme. It seems to me like something we should just do away with.
