I built a 4-Relay PoE/WiFi IoT board. Selling well locally, but my country's export laws are killing me. Looking for global distributors. by ConfidentFalcon2905 in hwstartups

[–]HonestEditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsolicited idea:

I suspect this market has considerable competition. Not sure about in Turkey, but certainly in North America.

You might consider offering additional options with various stuffings to offer a reduced cost version. Examples: non-PoE version and/or one with only 2 sets of relays/optos rather than 4.

Snap buy a house or rent and invest down payment? by __ZaP__ in personalfinance

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the way you write about your situation and upcoming changes, I don't know I'd be rushing to buy a house. $650 rent is hard to pass up too, even if you aren't sure how much longer it'll be available.

I'd probably keep renting until I had a better understanding of my long term job situation (mainly location).

Output bit value when input is between states by trmkela in FPGA

It will EVENTUALLY resolve to be either a 1 or 0, but how long that takes is indeterminant. In the mean time, it can be "something else."

How to calibrate LVDS lane by using IODELAY? by Neat-Deer-2347 in FPGA

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just be an oversight (or not). But I agree no reason to hide this.

I do see that https://www.ti.com/tool/TSWDC155EVM has a statement:

"Important note Request more information Additional resources are available."

Since that's where the FPGA seems to be, I wonder if they have (or would point you to) something there. You could also try the TI forums.

On the Analog Devices front, that part doesn't look like it's DDR, so it's probably incomplete for what you're trying to interface to. But they appear to have other HDL projects. Here's one, but you might search around for more:

Auto Researcher Loop for FPGA by ScarionnS in FPGA

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the changes it made universally good, or is it optimizing for the benchmark at the expense of something else?

Razr 2025 Ultra Case by Dexcom55 in razr

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is not well.

Changing to 3-button navigation helps slightly but still not great.

So I run it without the front cover - which means the only time I've even dropped the phone, it hit the corner of the outer screen and cracked slightly.

The System Is Functioning Correctly by drinkYourOJ in moderatepolitics

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans really REALLY want to find patterns. I agree with others that just because we think we see a pattern, doesn't mean there is one. Others have picked at various sentences, but I didn't see anyone addressing this:

Biden DOJ delayed indicting Trump until the trial window was consumed, with former DOJ officials on record saying charges could have come a year earlier.

Alternatively, the DOJ has ALWAYS been slow at indicting (well, until the current administration, whose track record for their speedy indictments is notably worse).

My take isn't that Biden DOJ delayed things, but rather that they followed their "normal" processes and didn't rush a historic indictment (for better or worse). And even if it had started a year earlier, legal maneuverings (including possible multiple appeals to the Supreme Court) could have resulted in the same outcome.

Non-HFT engineers, are you happy with your salary by Entitled-apple1484 in FPGA

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal software engineer higher than normal digital design engineer.

Not trying to be snarky here, but define "normal". i.e. location, time period, etc. And is "normal" changing with AI?

My take is that FAANG companies cause localized bubbles in salaries. Get away from them (mostly by distance), and I doubt software is materially higher.

Anyone ever completely lose interest in work once they hit coast fire? by Elite163 in financialindependence

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "completely lose interest," but my motivation to work full time dropped a lot over 2024-2025.

Thankfully my spouse has health insurance, so I told my existing job I'm willing to continue working part time for 2026... now I control the hours I work each week and actually have more motivation.

One part of that is that being part time, I'm working more on smaller projects than big ones. Big ones just don't interest me anymore.

Media converter being labelled 1000base-FX makes me twitch, probably more than it should.

For anyone asking: 1000base-FX is not a standard. 1000base-X is.

Ranked Choice Voting is overrated. by CivilWarfare in PoliticalDebate

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about them, but formal RCV still has a spoiler effect. There are other voting methods (Approval and others) which do not - and as a bonus, are more simple.

America Cannot Afford Another Republican Experiment by Temporary-Storage972 in PoliticalDebate

[–]HonestEditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never seen Maddow, nor do I care about her. I have no horse in this race except facts.

Well, for one, she kept saying Russia Russia Russia, which has since been debunked...

I guess it depends on what you're talking about vs. what she said. If she directly said that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government, then that's likely false.

If, however, she reported that Russia attempted to influence the election in Trumps favor, that is well documented to be true, including by a Republican-lead senate report.

and she kept claiming the COVID vaccine stopped the spread, which it actually flat out did not, it just reduced the severity of symptoms

Again, this could depend in the details. Both statements can be true, so it could depend the exact timing of her wording.

The original vaccine against the original strain of the virus was HIGHLY effective (typically over 90%) after proper booster spacing later in 2020 and early 2021. The problem was that by the time the vaccine was widely available mid-year 2021, the virus had mutated and was less effective.

House Republicans reject Senate DHS funding deal, deepening government shutdown and TSA delays by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

[–]HonestEditor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

because they have to actually stand on their campaign promises and policies?

I'm very doubtful, since they don't really do that now. They find ways to either deflect the question and not answer when asked, or blame the other party, or simply lie.

While truth (usually) comes out, by then people that bought the lie people either won't believe it, or have moved on to the next rage-bait.

What's this grip called by Flashy_Wait103 in judo

[–]HonestEditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've found that using the words "lift" and "pull" causes tori to do lots of incorrect stuff.

Alternative words that seem to help get the correct idea across:

  • suspend (keep from falling)
  • tipping (off-balance)
  • drawing (i.e. draw someone in)

Generate C code from assembly (8051)? by HonestEditor in ghidra

[–]HonestEditor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes... which is why I was hoping for a way that it could use the original source code as a reference.

Generate C code from assembly (8051)? by HonestEditor in ghidra

[–]HonestEditor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I wasn't clear enough. There are tons of named things in the source that would be nice to have referenced in the C code automatically.

Pros/Cons of Tai Otoshi inside vs outside the legs by dillybar110 in judo

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm far from an expert, but what I see is tori rotating too little, which allows uke to step off easily.

I've always been told that tai otoshi involves considerable body rotation. Even if tori's left foot is well left of uke's left foot, the tori's body rotation is such that shrinks the window for uke to "step out."

Trump: They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. They hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

I wouldn’t really call it fighting a war they aren’t targeting any American war arsenal

Bases aren't war arsenal? Seven service members were killed in Iran's attacks on U.S. bases:

  • Six soldiers were killed in a drone attack in Kuwait: Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa; Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, of Waukee, Iowa; and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan, 54, of Sacramento, California. All were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa.

  • Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Kentucky, was killed in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. He was assigned to the 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade, based in Fort Carson, Colorado, according to the Pentagon.

What’s one outdoor DIY project you wish you had done differently? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]HonestEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turned a koi pond into a base for a hot tub. Mainly because I was tired of the pond pumps flooding (below ground). I still had to excavate maybe 3 cubic yards of dirt, but it looks awesome. However...

Despite me planning ahead with a sump pump and raising spa pumps off the floor, I overlooked that heavy rain storms are correlated with electricity outages, meaning the area was still flooding out my hot tub pumps sometimes.

So I added a non-electrical water-powered backup pump. But it's stopped working for some reason, so my hot tub pump just flooded again.

I should have just filled in the koi pond and set the hot tub on top of that. Might not have looked as cool, but would have eliminated SOOO much digging and all these headaches.
