That smells familiar. I worked with one of those wizards and he designed everything to keep him the job. That was until he rode a motorbike into the side of a car at 100mph and someone else (me) inherited it. I had to start again because it

I thought this was going to be a replacement for all the free desktop crap for a minute. Now I’m disappointed.

That's pretty much how MLC FLASH works.

I have to agree there. 74hc is surprisingly robust!

Problem is there is no ground plane so you do get absolutely horrible signal integrity whatever you do including decoupling. Refer to AN47-26: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/appl... (

Or an absolute mentalist. I’ve used breadboards for 30 years and almost always spent more time debugging problems with the board than the circuits. Solder FTW.

Well I enjoyed it. I’m sure I’ll be downvoted by the resident Vulcans for encouraging deviant behaviour immediately.

I never understood it either. It was usually silver bearing multicore solder so it had flux, had no issues with flow. The stuff was an absolute joy to work with.

She might have been a "lead licker" who was an earlier generation soldering expert who used to literally lick the solder. This was forcibly stopped in approx 1980 here but I noticed people doing it when I was working on a line as

Big problems require drastic changes.

Well the first thing you do is ban professional politicians and lobbying.

Party politics is a separate shit show. It should be an elected council with no single representation. That would allow smaller, manageable policy changes rather than burn the entire universe every few years.

There is no big or small company, just a government registered design and companies who can produce it if requested.

I’ve always said that governments should use our tax money to design and validate key health and infrastructure components and only outsource manufacturing and only to local businesses. Governments are so utterly broken and inefficient that

Yes. The smell of the gas meter under the stairs at my nan’s house in the early 1980s. If I smell that ever I get instant recall of staying there when I was a kid.

Perhaps it’s classified poop and pee

You'd have thought they already had something that does this?

by m0xte 7y ago
So far. I suspect there is a lot of premature celebration when this is contained.

I actually quit a company in 2004 because they decided to go VB.net first. Was a good move because they are still on it and up shit creek now. I’m not sure how they managed to retain any staff as long as they did.

Yes I agree. But this industry is driven by fashion not engineering or risk analysis both of which are changed to fit the scenery. There are very few purists left who understand this.

As I always say: until it breaks :)

Precisely.

The community have been very vocal on a number of issues and thoroughly ignored and steamrolled over. Or the direction changes once the desired outcome is established.

The core language is fine but the surrounding ecosystem is volatile.

From my perspective I’d love to but from writing c# for nearly 20 years now it’s a rough ride for anyone trying to keep up with the platform. Knowledge is thrown in the trash faster than you can learn it and direction changes of all sorts j

Their intent is still entirely market share. We need to be vigilant on how they get there. History has taught us a lot of lessons we seem to have forgotten because shiny and new layer of marketing. There is still a massive cultural and tech

Doing this now too. It was vim outliner before but I was fed up of trying to remember how to install it every time I used it.

Yes a massive problem indeed. So many fashion victims in this industry!
