This guide has been around since the early 00's. I read it, start to finish (well, some chapters weren't finished back then :) when I was a teenager and it got me started with electronic circuits. I ended up becoming an electrical

This is what happens when you let your job define your life. This person needs therapy, not more Leetcode practice. This reads like a person who is having a mid-life crisis and hasn't found their role in life. Which is sad, because the

They're releasing plenty of products that excited people, it's just that the Roland products that are exciting all came out 20-40 years ago, and they just keep re-issuing them in various formats. Personally I'd buy the crap o

No such thing a private A&E cover. If I accidentally chop my finger off I have no choice for a private provider to stitch it back on. I go to the same place as everyone else. I'm actually really worried about having an accident rig

A lot of people here confusing using artistry with the making of art. When a baker bakes "artisanal bread" (whatever that is), the end result isn't art - it's good bread. Same way, if there's any such thing as artis

I had a look at this just this week. One problem; all the io libraries out there rely on special functionality in the broadcom chips and thus don't work with the knock-off boards. Meaning anything that needs gpio/spi/i2c&#x2F

I often use this as an approach to debating. Example; Can we both agree that you should be able to purchase a kitchen knife without a special license? (in parts of China, you can't). Do we both agree that allowing people to have person

Question; how do you present yourself externally? How are you dressed? I (a white dude in my 30s) recently went to a high end clothes shop, intending to buy a nice shirt for Christmas. As I asked one of the sales assistants for help, she in

I agree it's 100% about the form factor and the interactivity. My 4000+ pound modular cabinet is mostly stocked with digital modules, just a handful of analog oscillators and filters in between. I much prefer weird, glitchy digital sou

I just flat out refuse to use it if I feel the subscription is rent-seeking. So far I don't feel like I've missed out on any must-haves because of this policy. One thing I'd like to pay for but won't because of rent-seek

This is an incredibly naive view of the world. Violence is, whether you like it or not, the absolute apex power, from which all other power is derived. Laws only hold power because if you break them, someone will forcefully put you in jail,

Continued collapse of the top-end rech jobs. More layoffs at FAANG type companies as people realise the hoarding of talent and million dollar bonuses are just a waste of company resources. This will have a drastic effect on the tech jobmark

This really is unreasonably effective. Spectrograms are a lot less forgiving of minor errors than a painting. Move a brush stroke up or down a few pixels, you probably won't notice. Move a spectral element up or down a bit and you have

It's the modwave, wavestate and the opsix. They all share the same core hardware and physical layout and enclosure but have customised front panels. Actually really good products, well designed, I love the opsix :)
