I was at the pantages theater for one of the shows. There are some clips at the end of the audience and there is a very brief moment where you can see me in the audience with my friend. My 1 second of fame. It was a great show and being a

LeanDojo looks cool! I will check it out. I did the natural number game in lean 3, and was excited to see the author of "How to Prove it" had written an online book, "How to prove it with Lean" to as an accompaniment t

I think anytime you move past the lumped circuit model you can run into trouble. This includes digital circuits with fast edge rates. On the other hand a close reading of a component manufacturer's application notes and reference sch

I haven't gone in a long time but I used to like buying DVDs at Bookoff. Its a japanese second hand shop but they had a good selection of English language dvds and cds. It looks like they only have locations in Southern California an

I still have netflix dvds, although I only get one now and usually take a long time to watch it. But I started January 2001. I bought an expensive (at the time) dlp projector and make a large screen and stand out of blackout liner and some

There are some places where I still experience "Things Come to Us". The open library on the internet archive is one. Worldcat is another although I still have to reserve/pick up the items. Using RSS and w3m to read news is

It's interesting that he started with that topic. As opposed to voltage, current , RC circuits, etc. He's got quite a few topics, like emitter followers and op amps. But I think he's a bit below the level of what people ne

I very much wondered the same thing. I've had a couple of occasions where I really wanted a numerical answer to some finance questions, like for instance keeping an IRA vs paying taxes and converting to Roth. And I want it to take in

I retired early (age 49), but I took a four month leave of absence about 5 years before that. Trying a leave instead of retiring was one of the few things I read about early retirement that made a lot of sense. I gather some people "

I love my brother black and white laser printer. But I print infrequently. The problem I had with inkjets for years and years was dealing with clogging if I used them infrequently. Does anyone know if the color canon eco tanks work if yo

20 year zen practitioner here. Don't expect meditation or buddhism to make your problems go away. If you have an acute mental problem like depression, bipolar syndrome or are suicidal get professional help first. Then go study buddhi

My spouse was a sw engineer who became ft stay at home parent shortly after our second child. Yes it's not how much you make but how much you can save after that counts. Certainly she saved us a lot of money. In my case the intangibl

John Markoff wrote about this in his 2005 book "what the dormouse said". More than just psychedelic drugs but the whole connection to the 60s counter culture. I found it a pretty interesting read at the time.

I travelled to India and Nepal right after high school from Los Angeles in 1982. I bought a copy of Tintin in Tibet in India and it is still on my bookshelf all these years later. Really nice to read the backstory about Chang.

My understanding was the reason the US didn't end up transitioning to chip and pin was they couldn't transfer the liability in the case of compromised pin. That is the consumer liability would still be limited to $50. So there w

You might consider trying a muse 2. I bought one used on eBay for $125. There is a very good app mind monitor you can see what's going on quickly and get captures and python options like muse-lsl for doing your own capture and analys

I came to say this, the Japanese have the solution, they use a different alphabet for imported foreign words although less so for Chinese. Even better they change the pronunciation and drop syllables to make the imports easy to say. Maybe
