I guess I've been lucky.
I'm 60 in a few days. I slid into Verilog (now SystemVerilog) about 12 years ago, mostly on FPGAs. These days I've got more work than I know what to do with. I'm planning on retiring in December. There's something to be…
Yes on Ranger, however the first Surveyor completed a soft landing and returned image data.
An ancient 8 channel Mackie sound mixer to the left and slightly north of my keyboard. Other than inputs from the main computer, it pulls in audio from a bunch of other stuff/computers in the room, has a handy 1/4"…
For the hardware I was using, the downstream CDR was actually doing a reasonable job locking on the spread-spectrum clock, such that PCIe negotiations would sometimes work through quite a few states without error (I was…
From the comments: "Protip: don’t try to be fancy and provide a local REFCLK from an independent oscillator. Always use the host’s REFCLK as it may be spread spectrum modulated for EMI compliance in most PC systems."…
Oddly enough, I never met any of the coders. The entire code base turned up on mag tapes from Belmont, CA. I was working in Toronto. I was very much a newbie, so I didn't form an educated opinion on code quality. There…
My first job in 1987 was porting all of Oracle's source code (entirely in C for 32 bit architectures) to a 64 bit Control Data mainframe. So, that.
Track down a syntax-aware code search/database tool (if your IDE doesn't have one). For me it was/is GNU ID Utils. At some point you'll be handed thousands or millions of lines of someone else's code, and you will need…
