Sibling poster did a good job explaining how research relies on labs. Agree that complex EE work can be expensive for individual and smaller companies, indeed :) A comment on the application side: > "[..] for wireless applications y

By fab you mean lab, then agree. Fabs are specific to the manufacturing of integrated circuits. EE encompasses more than just manufacturing of ICs, for example research and applications in radio propagation and EM/wireless, signal inte

Hilarious. Reminds me of Pioneer CDJs as well, even on the flagship CDJ-3000 models. If you read the user manual it says: > About using MP3 files > This product has been licensed for nonprofit use. This product has not been licensed f

Agree on this. As a layman in Australia, i had a friend who was coming back from the USA and asked him to buy me an iPhone before its release in AU (late-2007 iirc, iPhone 3G launched in Australia in 2008) and promptly jailbroke it so i cou

Indeed, this is a common vector for leaking PII and sensitive data. For example, what looks like an innocuous logging/print statement in an exception handler ends up leaking all sorts of data. And it gets more messy when you start to i

That, and the peace of mind of not being fired at-will when economic times aren’t so good.

My guess is it probably was a content update that tickled some lesser trodden path in the parser/loader code, or created a race condition in the code which lead to the BSOD. Even if it’s ‘just’ a content update, it probably should foll

I’m amazed there was no mention of LISA [0] — a space-based gravitational wave detector using 3 satellites flying in formation 2.5 million Km apart! Seriously cool engineering, planning to launch in 2035. [0] https://en.m.wikiped

NXP runs a USB VID/PID Program [0] for small production designs (<10,000 units) that use their MCUs. They’ll give you 3 PIDs for free under one of their VIDs. I use this in my side projects (~200 units) and works pretty well! [0]

Not just institutions, individuals too. I’ve seen many individuals ‘dig their heels’ into protecting their own pet project/baby/solution/etc, mainly due to ego. It takes maturity and humility to step back, assess objectively,

Likewise, I think I enabled an option to always show it. Its under System Settings → Accessibility → Display → Show window title icons

I think there’s an option somewhere to enable it, but yeah annoying it’s not default.

The point is to use what ever works best for your team, not blindly follow some process that may or may not necessarily work for you. Just as product requirements can change, so can the way we work. Just like there is not one singular produ

Indeed, Zuken is still a large player in Japan, and has a leg up with IC packaging tools which the big players (Cadence, Mentor) have that Altium doesn’t. Altium’s play has always been to segment the market at the hobby+small enterprise+sta

Interesting, wonder if Renasas can push Altium past Zuken in the Japanese market, or if this is their play to capture more markets outside of Japan.

Here’s the catch, as you scale up, more and more users could get caught in the edge case. Remember why we build systems — for end users to use. It is our job as engineers/technologists to solve them. This is where trade-offs in enginee

If you work at a big enough company, that 1% edge case could affect millions of people, so it is definitely worth the brain cycles to consider.

This is most likely done during the fpga bringup phase where you want to test and verify you have a working setup using vendor provided test/example/reference projects, etc before loading in your own designs for debugging.

I have the opposite experience, I’m based in NL. Of the 2 EU companies I worked for they both asked to fill timesheets. And of the 2 US companies I worked for (also based in NL), none asked for timesheets.

Indeed, I get the gist of the message, however I’m just highlighting how much advanced electronics and software drive something as ‘mundane’ as a washing machine motor to improve its efficiency [0]. This often requires real-time software ca
