As I understand it, protectionis and mercantilistic policies were the norm in the USA until the close of world War 2. Same with Britain.

How does that work? Github style contributions, LinkedIn profiles, or some sort of activity trail of planning dinner with friends on FB?

I wonder what movies of this last year would have won under the old voting regime? Personally, the Oscars agree with my taste more than ever.

Given the evidence we have, I don't think we can say whether success -> college or college -> success or both or neither. Just a random anecdote, but I spend 10 years working crappy blue collar jobs after going to pretty good Eas

As I understand it the Arduino libraries are big, but I have never tried. What are the advantages to not just using the AVR libraries if you are embedding the chip in the circuit and using the programmer?
105.
by forkandwait 9y ago
Two reasons for me: Real product versus toy: The arduino libraries are not the standard AVR libraries you would use to program a real product. In a real product you would also never use an arduino, too expensive and bulky. Also, the arduin

I suggest you try programming the AVR chips directly. I use Atmel studio to compile, notepad++ to edit , and the following to burn a chip: https://www.amazon.com/High-speed-TL866CS-Universal-Programm... Tutorial : http:&#x

I have completely ignored Twitter since some guy told me about it 10 years ago, and I have not once thought "wow, I wish I had paid more attention to that."

It would be nice if there were a visualization of this. Perhaps watts on the x-axis, distance on the y-axis, and baud rate of specific technologies or wavelengths as dots connected by contour lines? Probably on a log/ log scale. (Sorr

Does anyone have a single, basic book recommendation that would describe chip fab all in one place? Also, it seems to me he or people like him should try to make microcontrollers rather than "full" computer chips. I would buy som

You shouldn't have written "dismissed" either -- the OP just posted a link and noted that they were conservative. Maybe "implicitly dismissed", but even that is pretty paranoid; though, to be fair, that is probably

Axlers book is lovely, but my (amateur) opinion is that determinants are pretty damn intuitive and useful in the applied world. They appear quite naturally in the systems of equations I have worked with. Furthermore, some would argue that m

2030 is only 12 years from now. so we should assume it will be about as different as 2006; which was about the same as today except for smart phones everywhere. Yawn. Maybe a better game would be -- what single technology will become ubiqu
