Just following basic rules of thumb (minimizing current loop area, length matching, impedance matching through trace width, series termination, etc.) may yield a working device, but how do you learn from that? At some point you're al

I have read that even though there are no hard rules, after getting an employment based Greencard, one should stay at the company for another 6 months to avoid problems during naturalization. Is this true?

On two occasions, once after skiing for a week and once after playing flight sims an entire Saturday, I had an intense (and very nice) feeling of gliding down a (glide)slope as I fell asleep.

The website actually started as a sort of joke by someone in the kernel community. Then it stuck around. For example, I found it useful professionally. We're releasing a new hardware model. We're doing some in-depth performance tu

Depends on the criteria. Do automated reviews count? I set up build+test via GH actions and have GitHub run them on PR's. And make all changes through PR's. This not only prevents "forgot to run tests" type accidents dur

Fortunately that's not something you can buy. These contacts are occasionally scheduled with organizations (schools etc.), but unscheduled for the general public. Exchanges tend to also be one short question (how does earth look from a

No, you can use do{}while(0) usually. You only need statement expressions if you want it to evaluate to a value as well.

Most hams use commercially made equipment, this is just renting instead of buying. What is protected is the actual radio spectrum. If a ham rented out his rig to a commercial entity for the purpose of transmitting business information over

Why? Most people don't have the space, money and time to ever put up big antennas and kilowatt transmitters. This is great for them. Especially since there's practically no setup overhead and no long term commitment - so you can u

I worked in an office meant for 80 that only ever had 35. Room to grow! It was great. Then 30 people quit. Later I worked in a scyscraper. Our floor was never exactly full, then like 80% on the floor were laid off. Entire teams gone. Eerie

It's not only about not accidentally writing `if (x=0)`. The `if (0==x)` style also makes it obvious that the check is correct when reviewing/reading code. Sure, a linter might catch this. But this way the reader doesn't need

That's not an IETF standard, that's a draft. Anyone can publish an Internet draft. They do not necessarily reflect the position of the IETF. Furthermore, this draft is expired and was not adopted as a standard. https://

In addition to all the points that article makes, two more: 1. There are a lot of people that believe they already had Covid, but actually didn't. 2. A "vaccinated or recovered" policy is even harder to enforce, as there are

You still have to renew it yearly to keep the expiration 10 years away. Also most registrars will send you an email when it's about to expire. If it does get dropped, there's a grave period to recover it.

Paper maps are also constantly outdated, can't record your track, and show way less extra points of interest. Maps also cost money and take weight and take time to ship or pick up, meaning in many groups at most one person will have on

Anti-vaxxers also hurt people who don't want to lose their loved ones who've been turned into anti-vaxxers and have been impossible to reason with because they've been inundated with anti-vax propaganda. The references to dar

So, how much do you know about pharmaceuticals, building safety and cows? We tightly regulate all those industries precisely so that people can rely on vendors and not get hurt, even if it might be more profitable to substitute a few compon

Sad that it works like this. As an engineer, I got some training by legal, followed up by a high level exec explaining to us that in this context, we report only to legal and are required to say "no" to engineering leadership when

Foot hammock for my desk. $20 well spent. If you don't have one you're missing out. You can find them on Amazon. Doesn't matter which vendor, they're all the same. Fits most desks.

Actually, often you do pull out your Pantone or HKS color matching cards to work out which specific red is required, whereas you don't care which brand etc. your print service uses. (src: merchandise printing) (Also, at one place I wor

Yes. At our company, we do a lot of kernel development. Most devs are issued Macs, some Thinkpads with Windows. Very few run Linux locally, as IT doesn't like it. We have Linux shell servers for development. They compile much faster th

There's another pitfall: it evaluates a parameter twice. Imagine calling SQ(func_with_side_effects()). If you can assume a compiler with statement expressions and typeof (gcc, clang, probably icc in this case): #define SQ(x) ({ typeof(

Eventually it shouldn't be a choice though, it should be a deeply ingrained habit. There shouldn't even be a treat then, it should be faded out. Of course that takes a lot of training, where you can control the situation to give

There don't _have_ to be "consequences". You _can_ definitely use positive only training to teach an alternate behavior (e.g. recall or distance down) and proof it under progressively more difficult scenarios (distance/d
