If I'm in the office and go to a meeting room I have to bring at least one adapter to be a able to project on a screen. It's awkward in practice.

I've a macbook pro at work and have to use 3 dongles, to get hdmi, display port, full sized USB, etc. I still don't have a wired ethernet, or headphone jacks, probbaly need another 2 adapters. It looks like an octopus, and is not

The note was for me the pinnacle of phones. Large display, textured back so it wasn't slippery, and no back to get cracked, metal frame around the screen, sd card, exceptionally easily replaced battery (the back popped off easily) , gr

Thanks for the correction, I was looking at the 286, not the 4004! Not sure how I managed to get the wrong chip... Though someone mentioned the 286 in a comment below, so I guess I muddled that in.

Wifh 134k transistors and 49mm2, that's 365um2 per transitor. The N3 node from TSMC is quoted as ~300Mtr/mm2, so I believe 365um2 is 109k transtors, so I guess it means just under one 4004 could fit in the area of a single 1982 tr

How is interactive annotation handled? The zoom annotation let's amy meeting attendee annotate the presenters screen.

Yes, we're transition firm zoom to teams, and as we're engineers, I'll sorely miss the screen annotation feature which works so well. Teams just added active anntoation and it totally sucks, the presenter can't interact

What's always blown me away is that chips are built up in layers. These layers are built up by lithography, which involves depositing an extremely thin sheet of material and then etching out the pattern for wires, etc. The etching requ

PYNQ is an interesting project. It blends python / jupyter notebooks running on the embedded processor in the FPGA ps with any custom hardware you design for the FPGA pl (programmable logic). You can generate the hardware logic by writ

For a power user, vivado is streets ahead of the open source alternatives. The integrated IDE makes working with and debugging performance issues helpful as you can cross probe between placement, elaborate RTL, timing reports all the way b

As a hardware engineer I think the vivado toolchain is brilliant, and way way better than the toolchians I have to put up with in ASIC design. The sad fact is low level HW design is very difficult, and making tooling help simplify this imme

Toolchains are free for swr devices, including simulation, synthesis, debug, etc. No. Need for 10k licenses

Honestly don't get what is so special about NY... It's not bad, but on the flipside is pretensious, expensive, and difficult to travel to/from.... also all of the things you mention that are positive points are by no means un

Wow. I cannot fathom how it can work this well, though I think the validation is incorrect, the first assert shoukd check for z and not 0. Still, it's scary to be honest.

I switched from windows/dell to a 2019 16inch MBP Intel for work as I wanted everything MBPs promised, especially battery life. I was very dissapointed that I get about 2 hours on battery, but I suspect its mostly due to the MS office

When I met my wife, the very first night, we had a really open and honest conversation about where we were/what we wanted, including talking about marriage (not to each other specifically, just we were looking to settle down). It was n

I get the point, but maybe that looking desperate puts people off, so being more relaxed could help. I recall being dismay that when single no one showed interest, while in a relationship women seems to ask me out (still rarely, but not 0).

The matlab licencing will be their downfall. Its the only licence we have in work that is per seat vs being token (floating) based, due to the cost of a floating license. So instead of having a tool any of our engineers can use, we have it

The main issue is not who owned it, but the fact a pll (or similar) was needed to create a local clock locked to dqs, but dqs from the sender would dissappear for an unknown number of cycles depending on the rx vs TX schedule. So that local

The DRAM signaling is very strange, I worked briefly on a hardware DDR controller and the timing reference was over pins called dqs. These pins sent a signal to represent the bit transition so they could be safely captured by the receiver.

Idle CPUs use much less power, so no its not wasted in that sense.

The Note4 was the best phone I ever had as it had: 1. Large screen 2. Didn't really need a case as it didnt have curved glass 3. had a plastic back with texturing for grip / metal frame 4. Easily replacable battery, could pop off

Pricespy had excellent filters for the produxts they listed, though I guess it was more focused than amazon. I would say maintaining is possible, especially if they let retailers define the fields and responsible for filling them for the pr

True, but is it reasonable to assume the same key would be used for long enough on a go en operation to allow averaging to help? The mitigation only needs to work practically, not in a worst case theoretical situation.

Is it not possible to add noise by running other processes in parallel that will also cause frequency boosts to occur and colour the results? Bauscilaly the mitigation is to disable boost, but instead boosting more often or boosting in a co

Agree on regex. I started in perl many years ago and loved how integrated regexes were. Was appalled that was was a simple one liner in perl turned into multiple lines in python for every regex. Making a powerful tool easy to use means it

You can buy LFP cells for about 2k for 10kwh, so this is 5wh/$, the use case is for a diy alternative to powerwall, but long story short, I'm sure Ford pay less for their batteries.

I'm not worried about the storage, but (almost) forced to run an OS is a bit much. I just want to run it on the same machine as other services and the VM is to me a clunky way to do that. Still overall like HA though.
