Yes sir. I still remember so many DOS applications and especially games. There was a game called Cannon Fodder which had the developers as characters in the game and the About screen was so cool. Man I miss those days.

You can check TI's Hercules Safety MCUs which has 2 MCUs which operate in lockstep. It guarantees the hardware faults I think. In Railways I have seen two systems running on the same processing and doing a check of the results and then

How do you go about doing the mechanical drawing for a footprint not found in the library? I tried to design a simple SD card board as a learning project. I gave up when the part that I selected was difficult to draw. I was not sure whether

My experience is similar to yours. Prepping takes the longest time for me. I feel that cooking is all about prepping as the actual cooking on the stove takes a lot less time. Many recipes just mention the actual cooking time and some very v

Exactly what I have experienced. Even whatever time is mentioned in the cookbooks, I was never able to beat it. It takes a minimum of 45 minutes to prepare a decent dish for me. I too am an amateur and I measure my time with my mother'

Queues can also be used to coalesce events. You can run through the queue and see if there are repetitive events which does not have any effect multiple times and can be combined to a single event. This would reduce the work done at the con

Has anyone read "Common Sense Mathematics"? I really liked that book for shortcuts to elementary maths for mathematical analysis of everyday things.

Search is a joke. Whenever I want to search some conference videos on a topic I get trash after 2-3 results which is totally unrelated with "You may like" nonsense.

In my whole career it was very rare that someone from my network helped. All calls for help would be met with a polite "sure" and then went missing. Some give me a lecture on how to lower my expectations or something else.

I don't understand why you are being down voted. I disagree with you that they provide quality though. They don't. It is also the case that the company that hires them provide any quality. All are in it for making money with lowes
