In systems engineering, negative feedback is viewed as one form of 'unexpressed system requirement' for that stakeholder. Surprise negative feedback can be even better, as it may be a sign that your system has a stakeholder you we

My high school math tutor's cute thing to point out was that for asymptotic functions like the graph of y = 1/x [1], since the universe is spherical, the asymtotes will travel off the page in a straight line around the universe a

This approach is covered extensively in the book 'Getting to Yes And: The Art Of Business Improv' by Bob Kulhan, which is one of the few books I would consider a must read for anyone interested in technical leadership.

Article is not correct: not every device on the planet will roll over. Many GPS chipsets, such as many uBlox devices, program an offset such as the date of device firmware compilation. This means that the rollover will in fact occur decades

It's cheap but what's the 0power consumption? This tutorial from Eric Tsai covers a similar architecture but a lot more extensible, with a lot more explanation, and each end node can be powered from a coin cell for many years: ht

'Moar speed' is not really the point of 5g, and as usual the main advantages are not widely talked about because a lot of the media doesn't understand them and how to communicate more advanced concepts to readers. In my mind

Competancy is assessed at interview, not at sift. The sift simply identifies that candidate meets the minimum possible spec for the role and can be interviewed. They may end up well exceeding the job spec after competancy based interview.

I hire on anonymized data. I can tell you that it works well. The only flaw is that if your pool of application sifters is not diverse, bias will start to creep back in. For instance, in a group of several application sifters of a single ge

I hire with anonymous data. I would look at a statement like '25 years experience' on a CV and completely ignore it, as I have no idea how competant the candidate is based on this. I would look for the key technical words and impa

I struggle to get creative when constrained to the chair and have noticed I go a lot more frequently to the whiteboard to brainstorm a problem now that I'm already standing at my desk. That doesn't mean I get better results, only

Credit goes to Hirose for the idea on USB Micro B, as they hint at it their ZX catalogue [1], but logically everything on USB devices is normally a receptacle_ so custom cables really is the only use for a PCB mount _plug_. If you download

I have found the best way to get right angled USB connection that can be repeatably and reliably wired and is robust for rugged use is to create a small interface PCB in CAD software like Eagle and use a PCB mount receptacle rather than a s

It's an obvious one, but I think there's something to be said for a simple three-in-one chess, draughts and backgammon set. The upfront cost is small but the long term benefits are vast.
