I always like seeing the most recent reviews since it can sometimes show that people have started receiving knockoffs or that there's been a rapid change in quality of a product. The most helpful review is like months to a year old so

Interesting that it started out as typeless but as C came from B, they introduced types only for Python to come along and make typeless popular again. Types definitely do have their usefulness but you can certainly get by without them.

That's a lot of data to transmit via satellite and satellite bandwidth is expensive. Most planes don't crash into the middle of the ocean with all of the transponders turned off so it's an expensive solution for a very rare p

Basic jobs get expensive invoices from pros because they'd rather be out there working a more substantial job. They don't want to drive out to your house, maybe need to make a trip to the store, and then be out of a job for the re

I remember it not being a huge deal to have a bunch of people at work come with flu-like symptoms. "It's just something going around." Work gave out flu shots every year but that isn't 100%. It wasn't even considere

Depending on the number of people in the room, this could easily turn into insane waits between when you sent your message and when everyone hears it. This would probably work best in a conference call sort of situation where you have peopl

The sampling rate and frequency range are tied together though. The Nyquist rate says the sampling rate must be 2x the bandwidth. If you sample at 96KHz, the most bandwidth you'd get is sound waves up to 48KHz and still be able to accu

If you are salaried, your 40 hours a week is just the minimum. Some employers respect the 40 hours, some expect you to work well past that number until the job is done.

In RF engineering, it's typical to have all of your equipment referencing the same 10MHz clock (or a 1 pulse per second or IRIG-B). If I don't have a GPS receiver or a rubidium source, then I'll just pick the newest, most exp

People are probably more embarrassed to ask for their money back on something they have partially or entirely eaten. I can barely muster up the courage to tell my waiter that my dinner order wasn't quite right but I have zero problem w

The electronics on-board will degrade over time due to radiation effects and the batteries will at some point hold no charge. It's probably cost-effective to just send up an MEV to cover you for a few years while you decide if that sat

What's the plan for in a year or two when no one is wearing a mask anymore? Seems like an overly complicated solution to a simple problem.

Where I've worked, they will hand out RSA-style tokens that constantly generate new codes if you don't have a phone or don't want to install an app on your personal phone. There are even tokens out there that will totally rep

You could go for a realism factor and adopt MIL-STD-1553 or ARINC 429.

People have already touched on setting the addresses using the pins but sometimes you can just buy near identical I2C parts that have slightly different part numbers because the range of user-selectable addresses is different.

Analog Devices and Linear Technology (now owned by Analog Devices) have the cleanest looking datasheets. Texas Instruments is ok but not great. Standard Microcircuit Drawings, the kind of government datasheets used for milspec parts, are ab

It goes consumer grade, automotive, military, and then you have levels above that meant for things like space and down-hole oil drilling. Automotive is certainly a step up above consumer grade but it's not like Intel is throwing an i7

I have four adapters in my house, I have one TL-WPA7510 and three TL-PA7010. They are sold as pairs so when I wanted the version with an access point built-in, I had to buy another wired version. But, you can add them individually to an alr

I always laugh when I see Comcast commercials for "fastest in-home Wifi". An 802.11ac router isn't going to help anything when you can only get 10/10 bandwidth on a good day.

I bought a $200 wireless Turtle Beach headset for my Xbox 360 in 2010 (released in 2008) that came with Dolby Surround 7.1 and Dolby Pro Logic IIx which is meant for creating surround sound from stereo sources. It has both a stereo RCA and

I guess the weakpoint in all of these techniques to prove a photo was taken by a certain device, at a certain time, in a certain place is for someone wearing a very good disguise to publicly commit crimes in your name. Any witnesses or phot

Cosmic rays can also be high energy ions. Most of the photons come from the sun and the ions can come from outside the universe and the sun.

That last point might still be the case. Forget to plug your car in overnight and suddenly you don't have enough mileage to get to work. Not everyone will have access at home to a fast charger so the option will be to slow charge over

The QWERTY layout isn't the best but everyone makes their keyboards the same layout. QWERTY isn't beautiful nor the most effective, it's functional and familiar.

Lead time is usually not a huge issue as long as the lead time is consistent. 3 days or 3 months is usually not a problem since you can build you manufacturing process around a given lead time. The cost of transport is going to be much more

You could make the same argument for any sort of negotiation the government engages in with a private citizen or corporation. I really don't see the difference between a worker employed by the government and one employed by a private c

An FPGA dev board with enough LVDS inputs might work but I've also heard that the levels that LCDs use are not quite the same LVDS spec.
