Really what somebody needs to do is say "I built a custom chipset that has 32 octa-core Allwinner A80's on it". It has a A15/A7 big little architecture. I would guess the processors cost like $25 each. So the board would

Yea this board in no way should cost $25, and is really late to the game with a nordic BLE board. Their website is really disingenuous about things that the Nordic BLE chip just has inside. http://oshchip.org/ Things like:

Ah ok, this is great thanks. Yea so outputting a string of 11001100.. would produce a 20MHz waveform, so, then the 3rd harmonic of that is 60MHz, right, so that's what is being picked up? Yea you are right about the harmonics of the id

Would be cool to see an spectrum plot of the output signal.. the explanation of why the signal is picked up seems a bit too vague for me.. Since the transmitted signal will be a square wave I imagine, I would expect to see some side-bands t

Yea so true.. that chip is very popular in many lipo packs.. It would be interesting to see how many gazillions of those that are sold..

Yea if your job is pretty technical, then being somebody that people "know as the guy/girl that really knows their shit and gets their shit done" is a good place to start. It also helps to ask people about their areas or if y

Yea I got jobs because people at the other companies said "hey that guy knows a lot about this area you should interview him", and when I interviewed everybody I talked to gave their approval to hire me based upon a technical inte

Maybe was the most popular chip for a while until the 90s, but these days they are not in very many things that sell in high quantities unless it is like a really cheap toy or something.. smartphones for example don't have 555 timers i

Yea so I've worked for multiple tech companies in Silicon Valley and was in the 150+ club before leaving the area and every company I was hired at was via a connection. So going to networking events is something I never did. Just made

Yea, same for me.. I can't zoom in on this page on my mac using chrome to read the font more easily using the pinch to zoom function that literally works on all pages except this one.. I have to go into the browser page zoom function t

Yea when they killed the 15" MBP with matte display, I pretty much freaked out since I was planning on buying it as my main computer from the remainder of my life if Apple continued to exist as a company.. instead, I am now trying to f

My wife is using a 2009 15" MBP with SSD and original spinning HD moved to the opti-bay, and maxed out RAM -- same upgrades for me except I have the late 2012 MBP 15". The trackpad is one of the main reasons I love the mac book

just thought of an idea to add to my previous post, so maybe for banks that are sitting on that big pile of cash the "easy money" that they got from the fed, we could say "hey well, we know you basically probably will essenti

Listening to "marketplace" on NPR when the us federal reserve raised interest rates to 0.25%, they mentioned that actually there was a problem -- that they would need to pay banks to actually pay them to take the money from them a

So what's the next crisis? actually read the article and this article does not really expound upon some sort of next crisis.. I guess the crisis is that interest rates are so low?? awesome click-bait apparently..

I see so many "oh just do it with jquery" comments on forums.. when in reality, 9 times out of 10, you just need some simple one-off function from it.. you end up loading some massive script to run 2 functions... oh wait, is that

The reason why this is so important is that simpler molecules are much easier to simulate and work with from the theoretical side to create a bulletproof model of how the high temperature superconductors work. All of the cooper pairs and al

With the small limitations of this, it is mostly a novelty--what makes it interesting is that most FPGA's are much more expensive than $5. So that's cool. Maybe you could implement a SPI slave to I2C transceiver or something like
