I'm not an expert on audio, but what's the difference between [1], and the reference design of [2]? I know only a bit about electronics, but I would have figured the market would have driven those two things to be roughly the same

I see nothing wrong with that. But it's exactly how you said: > want their home -- where they spend a large majority of their lives -- to have some privacy and pleasant surroundings This applies to people living in cities too. I don

The paper you link isn't a study, it is a "discussion", and the author also states the following: > The emails further demonstrated that since 2005 Monsanto has attempted to destroy my team’s work and reputation, in partic

actually, it turns out it works fine on my desktop but not mobile. Not sure why, but wasm is a bit janky sometimes.

Sure, you want 23h15min23s / 60mi to min/km You can give it a try here: https://flaviutamas.com/qalculate-wasm/ Although it's very experimental and this particular query doesn't work right no

qalculate (qalc on the command line): $ qalc > 60mi / 23h15min23s to mph (60 × mile) / ((23 × hour) + (15 × minute) + (23 × second)) ≈ 2.579936218 mph > 60mi / 23h15min23s to km/min (60 ×

I think you're trying too hard. Something that you do a lot? Fine, write it in C/C++/Rust. It's something that costs thousands/millions of dollars of compute? Ok, maybe it's worth it for you to spend a month on

I want to point out that FreeCAD receives $450/week in recurring donations ( https://liberapay.com/FreeCAD/ ), and that that probably has some impact on how quickly things are moving now! I personally do CAD less th

Compare it to water energy storage. Water is 1kg/L. Concrete is 2.4kg/L. Therefore, the volume of concrete lifted is 40% the volume of water you would need to store the same amount of energy. Here's the biggest water energy

My calculator doesn't need to run at startup. There's nothing useful it could do in that situation, the only possible reason is to download ads, track me, or just pointlessly waste battery. Ditto for a wide range of apps. Pretty m

The magical part of Arduino isn't hardware with the Arduino branding, but a great set of open source core libraries & a easy to use toolchain. This hardware unfortunately doesn't have either of that; it requires Intel Quartus

Not necessarily, unregistered trademarks exist in the United States at least. And regardless, I'd expect expect someone asked to stop using a given name & logo to be more willing to cooperate than someone told to stop packaging it

There's no pipelines from Russia to India and China. Russia has to ship the oil. That's way more expensive, and there's just no infrastructure for that right now.

I'm not sure what your question is. When you don't understand a thing, you can google for it. Like it says it uses a Schmitt trigger for noise protection. How does that work? Wikipedia explains: https://en.wikipedia.org

I'm not sure what problems you're running into with decoupling capacitors. I find this to be the easiest part of my designs. If the datasheet has specific requirements, do that. Otherwise, 100n capacitors on each power pin. 50V 10
