Woah, you’re on OG! I’m unfamiliar with a lot of those things and had to look them up. Crazy!

Hah! ISE - I used that for a hot second, and you still see tutorials using it as well.

My goodness, tell me about it, I’m new and I already find myself frustrated with Xilinx sometimes. It feels like there are very few resources from them for learning, but I thought that was just because it’s a niche subject. I’ll have to take a look at Efinix. I guess I thought it was safer to stick to the biggest name while I’m trying to get established. At the moment I’m trying to get some example projects working on a Zybo Z7. I’m finding out that it’s a lot to take in

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I feel strangely honored to hear from such an OG :) Cheers!

Hey! Can I ask you about that? What type of chips? What are your most used skills/technologies and what helped get started when you were new? I want to work with fpgas, and I’d love to know what your experience with that has been like

I had a similar experience, Op. I was in traffic as it crawled by an accident, and I saw a man giving violent chest compressions to another man in the street. The motocycle was nearby, smashed. I learned later that he passed right there. 21 years old.

The same question you have nagged at me - did I witness the moment he passed? I spent time looking at the text I sent before I started driving, calculating when I would have driven by, comparing it to when first responders said they got there.

I’ve decided it doesn’t matter if I was there to see his death. A man died. His name was Miles. I found news reports about him later, and he seemed like a good guy. A firefighter. Well liked. That’s what matters.

Sorry about your mom, op. That ain’t easy.

The only thing I would say is if you have siblings, cousins, nieces/nephews, check with them to see if they can make use of any of it. Knowing members of my family got those things was worth way more to me than whatever I could have sold them for.

Good luck

Those are my two favorites! You had climbing in school? I’m envious! What did that look like? Your school had a wall?

Thank you for showing me this

This is what my local dead mall did. They gutted the Sears and put in a sports complex. It’s mostly pickleball courts now. It seems nice

Sounds good to me! I could listen to this voice in podcast form no problem

I had never heard of him, thank you for showing me this

I’m more a fan of Jonas Salk, Maurice Hilleman, Edward Jenner, Alexander Fleming

IndyCar driver Will Power

Just a heads-up, vans with climbing stickers can attract break-ins because they tell people “there’s a bunch of expensive gear in here that would be easy to fence”. Happens all the time in vegas. Hope you stay safe out there!

I like their “neighbours” tab of people with similar listening habits. I’ll choose a few accounts and look at the tracks they listened to most frequently in the last 365 days. You can find some real gems that way

Have you heard of nominative determinism? I know that it applies for me personally

I would love to read about this $20 weather station! Do you maybe have a link?

“ice climbing” “screwed” Oh youuu

Thanks for the writeup! If I were giving a presentation explaining the Four Color Theorem, which four colors should I choose to accomodate folks with colorblindness?
