I love FPGAs in a simplistic sort of way. I first started working with them when I was in school (1994-96) and thought I was going to spend my life with them. Other than some simulations with very expensive software that had been donated by

I started beekeeping a while back and put two hives in the back yard. I had one sitting on top of cinder blocks. Next thing I Knew, I had several Cane toads sitting in front of the hive gobbling up bees as they returned home.

Understood. My contact issue is in my profile. I saw you might be a "neighbor" and wanted to say hello. It is pretty easy to discern where I live, but I have become inured to the risk. :)

My first programming teacher was a delightful lady who encouraged me when I added all sorts of frills to my turbo Pascal assignments. I also acquired my first kitten from her. (my girlfriend convinced me that my pig needed a friend)

I had skipped over that, but your comment interested me as I have liked what I read by Taleb. Looking up "Absolutist" in Wikipedia gives: Moral absolutism, the position that there are absolute standards against which moral questio

Yes, that is a great article. I actually did read it a while back, and it contributes to my changing understanding.

I really don't like this article. It makes me think that I might have been very wrong in my judgement of GWB. More and more I have been finding out how much of life is a mirage of perceptions, many of them far from reality.

Strictly from the point of the people who have acquired a STEM degree ( and perhaps have not found a job, or feel they are under-compensated), but only a small percentage of those who spend their career in research will have the skill neede

In my case it took over 16 years to get my degree. I think it worked out in my favor. If there is any age bias in the initial resume scan most reviewers will guess me being 12 years younger than I am. Once you are in a position , often t
