Ken's reverse engineering articles are always a real pleasure to read, but this one is special in that it looks at an analog chip and how typical analog building blocks (current mirrors, differential pairs) are…
The recently released film Valerian is based on a 70's french comics Valerian & Laureline that is/was totally unknown in the US. Even more interesting is how much inspiration a certain George Lucas seem to have drawn…
>The schools are better At the undergrad and graduate level, perhaps, and as another poster commented, probably not for very long. But for the school years before undergrad, I'm sorry to say, America is in a very bad…
I am not claiming in any way that the problem we face in HW design are the same as the SW folks do. I most certainly agree that RTL is but a small chunk of the overall effort of designing a chip. But I am afraid my…
While true, it doesn't come naturally given how the average millennial manages his/her life :)
Funny, and beneath the joke lies a nice nugget of truth: the landscape of hardware design languages is a truly sad thing to behold and deeply hinders innovation in the space. There are numerous attempts at fixing the…
>Well the vast majority of these kids would prefer to stay in the US. I'm afraid you're making assumptions here. America is not where opportunity is these days, especially in the hardware manufacturing sector.
It is indeed very american-centric while presenting itself a number of times as applicable everywhere. I don't think it is: for example, I don't think many western European would be able to sort themselves into any of…
The many stories that have been appearing recently on Google's deep cultural changes point to a very basic fact of life: organizations, and even more so, their culture, aren't forever. As a matter of fact, organization…
