Yeah, love that is just works.

I'm working on a bit of a hobby project to rebuild a beefier Mascon. Mainly inspired by how much I enjoyed Running Train

Have you priced a Supermicro box with 16 bays and SAS running Ubuntu?

This is the way. The 10G cards are ancient and hog all the PCIe lanes.

I’ve had the best luck with Mellanox ConnectX 4 or 5 cards. The 5 can happily run 25G on a modern lane constrained system.

It's amazing how well the ProDisplay XDR has held out. Especially if you care about any HDR workflow.

Its also clear that the carrier wasn't ready for it. People with the original iPhone would get entire boxes mailed to them for their Cingular statement, itemizing every data transaction, but then all flat rate charged.

Simple: motor inverters are switching power in this frequency range.

It’s already below FCC limits for unintended radiation - it’s not going to block AM activity far from the vehicle, but putting the antenna in the midst of all that radiated noise is challenging.

Lots of continual updates, some release notes aggregated at third party sites like this: https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/

Lower cost printers are absolutely using LCDs with an LED UV light source. These resin curing printers are pretty darn cheap as well, and have a ton of resolution. They also excel on volume as they do expose the entire plate at once and don’t require scanning a laser around.

The material you get out of such a printer is of course entirely different from an injection molded part.

Usually a combination of calcium carbonate (or bicarbonate for solubility), calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and or the sulfate versions of the chlorides.

The ability for contract manufacturers to simply source things from neighboring companies is a very real thing - and usually the quality is pretty good. Somehow, working between companies is a quick and fast thing, where here making a new business relationship is seemingly mired in problems.

SolidWorks (and Catia upmarket), Siemens NX are the two most popular in the field that Inventor/Fusion plays in. 2d Autocad is pretty entrenched in some industries with no real competition.

KiCad is getting better and better. At this point Altium is copying features _from_ KiCad, so you know the competition is real :).

Altium is still a Delphi-ish program, though with lots of things now just compiling to .Net. The core layout package has always been solid with a very small core developer group running it which is really more what its known for. The library management parts with collaboration are actually getting a lot better (ECAD<->MCAD, etc).

Altium gained tons of weird stuff with a super weird push to "FPGAs for everything", a giant off-shore (not Australian or Carlsbad) development team, and... all of that crash and burned and no actual customer actually understood what was happening. Much of that legacy is still in parts, but most of the features have been removed by now.

The entry price of a pair of Mitutoyo calipers isn't that high, and is the standard instrument pretty much everywhere.

No, the SoC is all inclusive.

Various modules do carry FCC modular approval. The whole product needs to be certified of course.

Stop down and take a long exposure. You just want to avoid the focal plane shutter or digital rolling shutter, and capture one beam paint, or lots of beam paints to even out the intensity.

The direct ZPL deprecation was dumb. Thankfully Shippo fixes that already.

Shipping is real, and the more carriers you can support seamlessly the better.

If you’re on AWS and have credentials for users there, you can also run bless

It has nothing to do with filaments and is all with the phosphor coating. Standard white LEDs intentionally bleed the base blue LED through, whereas PCA LEDs do not.

Lumileds is the primary innovator for PCA (and other offshoots). https://www.lumileds.com/uploads/571/DS144-luxeon-c-color-li...

So, just the same as a MBP in that regard.

I use X1Carbons as a daily Linux driver after MBP and am very happy with them.

Type-C offers charge rates up to 100W, which means the voltage is ramped to 20V.

There is an entire protocol to negotiate power delivery (including who charges who) http://www.usb.org/developers/powerdelivery/

Lyft | Infrastructure (Deploys, Developer Experience, Provisioning, Continuous Integration) Engineers | San Francisco, CA; New York, NY

Lyft is hiring in our developer infrastructure organization, which empowers Lyft engineers to reliably and rapidly work on the core Lyft backends and applications.

Such practices were pervasive in other industries too, including air crews. Thankfully, this has been changing, and shown marked improvement in some cases.

Lyft | Infrastructure Software Engineers | San Francisco, New York, Seattle | https://www.lyft.com/jobs/4012488002

Lyft is looking to grow many teams within our Infrastructure organization. If you know databases and storage, Kubernetes, automation, continuous delivery (Spinnaker), monitoring, logging, containers, and low-level Linux we need you! We work primarily with Go, Python, and some C/C++ on most major cloud providers. Help Lyft scale and stay up while experiencing unprecedented growth, while providing world class products to the rest of the organization.

Teams hiring (non-exhaustive list): Developer Experience, Deploys, Provisioning, Datastores, Capacity, Observability.

I'm especially looking for senior engineers with a background and past experience in continuous delivery, as well as senior engineers for Observability and monitoring.

Reach out to me at yramin@lyft.com or @theatrus on Twitter.

Same - I still do it from time to time. The EEVBlog forums have ended up as the main discussion area for professionals and small-time operators/hobbyists.

Do realize that keyboard-sized PCBs will be expensive in single quantities past the design stage as well.

Yeah, library managers are not good. Across the entire industry.

If you've ever had a run in with a piece of software called Ultra Librarian you'd probably think highly of KiCad :)

There is a market of freelancers who do this, but the cost is probably not what you are expecting from the software market.

As a former EE and PCB designer, you never use a vendor PCB library, especially one that shipped with your software.

From a software engineering standpoint, I realize this feels crazy, but its pretty much par for the course. Every organization develops their own libraries for parts and processes their vendors may use, and while there are standard size parts, there is enough variance that it doesn't really make sense.

"Re-implementing" the standard library is sadly par for the course.

Developers use state machines a lot more than they would admit to. Often code would be more readable if the state machine was succinctly defined.

To add to all the comments here: the range of physical colors a monitor can display intentionally also differs (a low gamut, sRGB gamut, or one of several wide gamut standards). The video pipeline sends just 8 or 10 but values at the display, but the actual color seen can differ dramatically.

This is assuming all the content is sRGB, which is not a safe assumption especially if you care about color management to begin with.
