I've been following tauri for a bit. It seems very cool and interesting but I've always wondered - what are the use cases for putting your app in a webview instead of using the browser? Everything I've thought of would work j

Getting this stack set up is not as complicated as this post makes it seem... LLDAP is great and the dev was very responsive when I had issues with some early builds. Plenty of documentation around on getting Authelia set up, and connecting

What's your privacy concern with a recursive resolver? If you're not using DoH or DoT, your ISP can see everything anyways.

Sounds really cool but I have no idea how it works from the README. It appears to be web-based. Is it generating static html? Starting a web server? How do I access it?

Any guides on how to do this?

Professionally? Don't think there's a realistic path aside from college. EE undergrad (or possible CSE if you're interested in digital design) and these days an MS too. Otherwise, finding free information online. Many MIT and

Agreed. There's a great episode on the Microarch Club podcast (#10) about open source tooling and Verilator specifically. While Verilator is in an impressive state, it doesn't get any use by the big players.

MOSIS is a fabrication service. The tools are totally separate, and you'd still have to pay to use them. Universities generally get free licenses though.

Hadn't heard of Xfab. Very cool! By older nodes I meant like 28nm or 40nm. Looks like their smallest is currently 0.18 and that nodes been around since before I was even in school! It's definitely still useful for some application

For me, it was exciting, but now it's disappointing. The SkyWorks 130nm that TinyTapeout uses is ancient; they didn't really give away anything of value. The repository for that and the 90nm PDK haven't been touched in over a

I do mixed-signal, which is mostly transistor-level design (analog), but also a lot of digital - both transistor-/gate-level and RTL. I've mainly worked on RF transceivers for cellular, but eventually focused on ADC (analog to dig

I think the only reason to do a custom IC, for now, is if you can't achieve your performance, power, area or price targets with FPGAs, microcontrollers, or other discrete components. It's still impractically expensive unless your

We really need more of this. There's such a great ecosystem and community around software development and education, but IC design is at least a decade of not two behind in this regard. Unfortunately, the open source tools are also dec

Site is pretty broken on mobile. And all of the install commands are essentially piping downloaded scripts to bash, and some of those scripts download and run other scripts! I realize they're all open source but it's still quite t

Does Backblaze ever buy refurbs? I'm guessing not, but I'd be curious to see any data on how failure rates compare after manufacturers recertify.

There are a ton of other userChrome fix repos. I've gotten rid of my tab bar entirely and replaced it with a sidebar addon. Unfortunately my css seems to break with every other Firefox release. I really wish Firefox would make the UI m

Bummer that you have to use and link Google messages for sms now. With the old app, it used the local sms database, though performance was never as good as other sms apps for some reason.

I've been pretty happy with just a couple of sizes of Chemtronic Solder Wick (I use the lead free). Apply some extra flux (Chip Quik SMD291NL) on the joint, use a medium chisel tip, and its been able to handle anything I've thrown

I've always found it interesting how PID system theory and especially tuning seems so empirical, especially in how it's taught. We deal with similar kinds of feedback systems all the time in integrated circuit design (see: Phase L

Great to see more competition in this space. I found it interesting that every component seems to be written in a different language. The only one that surprised me a bit was the backend in c# instead of go or node/deno. A bit odd for

PXE over USB-C? How does that work? Is it just part of UEFI? Or is there some magic in the dock?
