Conversely, my wife insists on not pre-rinsing the dishes and that filter gets real gross, real quick. Unless you mean the spinny arms, never cleaned those before.

Life is so busy these days but I like to keep tabs on the biggest headlines. I've been subscribed to 1440 for maybe a year and love it. I basically can just skim the world events while brushing my teeth in the morning, and there are li

Wow, and my wife says my network is complicated! :) In all seriousness, thanks for sharing, this is really incredible. I see a few similarities (fellow Harbor Freight shopper, ADS-B receiver)... but I took the mostly lazy way out and just u

Yes it definitely would :) There's conductor loss in both the signal and return path.

This is a really great question. If you had a perfect conductor in air, then yes you would have no attenuation (or "insertion loss", one common term used in Signal Integrity). Real transmission lines (cables, PCB traces) use diele

Holy cow, I had heard all of those acronyms but did not even realize QUCS-S and QucsStudio were actually different, thank you for pointing that out. (This also necessarily shows that I didn't do a good enough job reading your work here

QUCS is a pretty awesome tool considering the price :) I didn't realize that QUCS-S did EM simulation (section 3.1.6.2 in this article) and I'm curious what the features/limitations are. The killer feature in a tool like this

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Even when just setting up the Disqus comments the other day I found the docs lacking. This would probably be less of an issue making Hugo config changes was something I did more than a couple of times per yea

I agree completely with this thought. So many people jump right to a wordpress because it can be "easy" (and as an EE, even figuring out the details of Hugo was pretty confusing for what basically amounts to an evening hobby). Whe

Is there a way to see corporate brands on the Slack-alternative-Threads, or is this comment about the Twitter-alternative-Threads?

I just went through something similar. When I canceled my Netflix a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that it would be very easy to restart the subscription for anyone who was still logged in, so I logged out all devices and attempted to remov

So, even though I much prefer to use Linux for the desktop I submitted this because I thought it was an interesting idea. I gave it a try on my computer and it seems okay. Lots of the functionality is already available but seems to be a cen

https://shielddigitaldesign.com/ I found my niche in a problem called Signal Integrity - a subset of digital hardware design. My work relies heavily on electromagnetic simulation so I enjoy playing around with that in my sp

I love using the GnuCash program. It took a while to figure out at first, but we've got over 12 years of personal transactions in GC now. Just the action of manually entering transactions helps us be more aware of spending. I've e

Another very similar example to this is the adding text feature in MS Paint. I noticed that somehow on the Windows 11 version, it takes many seconds after clicking the "add text" button to be able to actually start typing. Previou

As the other comment points out, there are plenty. For example, you must be careful not to accidentally drive into New Jersey as this poor mother did awhile back: https://6abc.com/shaneen-allen-new-jersey-news-philadelphia-.

I'm almost positive they are putting ads at the start of (and maybe in the middle of) podcasts in their Google Podcast player as well. I only noticed because the initial ad in a podcast was for a regional store that would not have been

If you buy at the right time when they have a sale, you can get the basic version for about $500, if I remember correctly.

The issue is that despite usability of Cadence being so much more confusing than Altium, you'll find that at some point when a design gets big/complex enough, Altium won't be able to handle it. This means that you've got

This sounds like a very reasonable explanation. For fun, I explained the gist of the article to my wife and asked for her take. She attributes the rise in red states to "happy couples getting to spend more time together". We'

Also interesting is that SEL is in the process of opening the first new PCB fabrication shop in the US in what I think is quite a long time. Since the last few decades have seen so much off-shoring of PCB manufacturing, it's nice to se

This is a fascinating article, and one of few on HN that I feel uniquely qualified to discuss :) Three of the lights mentioned in the article are ones which I was responsible for maintaining with the US Coast Guard a decade ago. Lynde Point

Certainly the GPS navigation equipment on board a vessel could fail in the event GPS signals are jammed or otherwise inoperable. As for the navigation aids themselves, as of a decade ago there were no GPS devices in the aids (though a GPS r

I feel you, there's a certain feeling of ephemeralness if you step back and think about it that way. Put another way, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet i

This post was a great read and it's exciting to see companies prove that hardware design can be done remotely. The real gem here though is the silkscreen on those boards, that was great to explore and laugh!

I saw this same behavior and was absolutely furious at having to agree to it. I've got a decade-old HP laser printer that I refill the toner on, and it's still chugging along. Recently, I had to set up a printer for my church, som

Oh you're right, that does jog my memory of the book. To be fair, I believe the Murray Hill Labs (now Nokia Bell Labs) has this kind of layout, though I've only worked in one of the electronics lab areas and didn't really eve
