I prefer this particular word sense. Personally, it would inspire more humility about what a certificate means and my ability to consistently apply the knowledge behind it. It gives pause immediately as I consider things I could apply it to

Yes! I noticed this at Google NYC when I interviewed there a few years ago. Healthy (and tasty) fruit infused water was placed front and center. Sodas were hanging out in the fridges in a rather less convenient location.

Linear AN65 is another classic, even if you don't need any of the topologies. And LTspice is extremely powerful for a free tool, if challenging to learn.

Did you ever try to track it down? A documentary connecting buyers and sellers of low-quantity sale cafepress items might be lovely.

The challenge behind some of that cork sniffing is the differing behavior of "identical" circuits is often trivially measurable and audible. Many of the "revered" circuits perform very differently due to component variat

A speakers' impedance has substantial reactances, and the nominal ohmic ratings have little practical meaning. Almost all modern class D amplifier ASICS have short circuit protection on their outputs

There's very little chance that the crossover filter topology, as well as any biquads in either bandpass are appropriate for a two way loudspeaker other than the original. Solid looking unit from the teardown, I might have to get one..

Like several others in this thread, I read Beloved at an 11th grade student in literature class. It was the most humbling thing I remember reading. Moving, despite no personal context for the characters' experiences. Written beautifull

Allusory is an adjective that means "making allusion." What I mean is phrasing that makes allusions. You'll find it in writing as a tool to expand meaning, change tone, add connotation, etc. It can lose power and clarity when

Capacitive coupling within small portable generators is a bit of a rabbit hole. Send me an email and I can discuss. Edit: kragen has good overview of this below from the generator in a puddle. Now in practice, most small generators that you

Excellent question! Stated rhetorically, "If a GFCI only cares about the current imbalance, and the traditional style breaker opens to due to a big spike in current, why care about what path it takes through the building wiring back to

Second Mike Holt as excellent learning source. Would refer to NEC 250.21 for discussion of "ground detector" as it relates to the detection accidental first ground connections in ungrounded systems.

The keys were good to my grandparents. My grandfather met his closest friend there in the 1960s when their families both vacationed there. His friend was an economics professor at UIUC, and the two of them would never have met otherwise. An

Agree with this. Part of boating is upkeep, which is never ending. If you like working with your hands, that upkeep can be therapeutic. But otherwise it can be drudgery. The ongoing cost, and effort, of upkeep has taken many enthusiastic bo
