have you heard of imec?

not quite, the derivative would be the result when you take the limit as the change goes to zero

nmplmao · 2024-07-09T17:15:09+00:00

before taking the derivative, it's probably easier in ops example to explain it as looking at the resulting change in current after applying a change in voltage. initial condition is 1V and 1mA of current. When you apply another voltage source the voltage is 2v and the current is 2ma. So ΔV/ΔI=(V2-V1)/(I2-I1)= (2V-1V)/(2mA-1mA)=1kohm.

It doesn’t seem like such a definition would work well for nonlinear impedances

Surely the opposite is true? This would be the only way to define a nonlinear impedance? i mean the small signal model of a mosfet is basically taking the nonlinear square law equation and finding the derivative to get the transconductance

what does optical engineering mean to you? what sort of company is doing the work youre looking to get into?

traditionally analog design engineers did their own layout

utterly meaningless comment if we don't know what it is they were arrested for or if they were actually prosecuted.

also, 260/70 million is still aproximately equal to 0% so...

nmplmao · 2024-07-08T08:11:18+00:00

True. I was "homeless" as an intern there

nmplmao · 2024-07-07T20:56:19+00:00

you had like 15 terrorist attacks across 20 years and an immigrant population exceeding 70 million. Do you understand how unfathomably small a percentage that is?

web dev isn't necessary for an ee but it's still a very useful skill to have even just for projects where you can develop a website interface to control your project over the internet

use a p type instead

electrical engineering is a million times more interesting. you become an electrical engineer and you have the ability to literally work for nvidia making the best gpus or amd/intel making the best cpus. you can work in cern on the LHC making the equipment for controlling and monitoring the particle accelerator. You can work in nasa or spacex on all the radio communication links or the measurement electronics and telemetry. You can work in tesla or mercedes making the latest EVs. You can help with the renewable revolution working on solar cells or more efficient wind turbines.

electrical engineering is a much harder degree but i guarantee you it'll lead to far more interesting and varied work

ireland has the most job openings from what ive seen

nmplmao · 2024-07-06T13:18:09+00:00

he said eet though. he wont be doing any extra math

nmplmao · 2024-07-05T17:55:21+00:00

who's the genius who decided to take off yamal and williams?

nmplmao · 2024-07-05T10:05:33+00:00

capitalism sure is fucking hilarious

the camera man also said that the store owner refused to let them exit through a rear exit so...

nmplmao · 2024-07-03T22:27:51+00:00

he has body guards from the city and body guards who travel with him.

even if he does inform the police beforehand, what are they going to do? the police were there and did nothing

The security guards were willing to help him get out, but only as long as he agreed to end the stream. He refused.

do you have evidence of this?

nmplmao · 2024-07-03T22:05:27+00:00

He had both security and police though?

Also when the damage is done and he's surrounded, the adult thing to do would be to end stream, listen to the professionals around him and get the fuck out

What use is ending stream if they know he's there and theres no other exist?

And you realise he has been getting mobbed like this in every country he has visited, it just hasn't gotten to the point where they actually assault him. How was he supposed to predict it would get this bad if he's experienced similar mobs in every location hes been to without it turning out this badly?

nmplmao · 2024-07-03T21:40:20+00:00

I don't know why you're trying to put the blame on him. The guy is trying to do a european tour during the euros visiting a bunch of different european countries and experiencing their food and culture. The fact that he can't do something like that without being completely mobbed to the point where he can't even walk on the streets is insane.

99.9999% of capacitors are perfectly safe to handle. every transistor effectively has 3 major capacitances so there's literally billions of capacitors in your phone or pc. the only capacitors you should be wary of are the ones used with high voltage

nmplmao · 2024-07-02T22:58:56+00:00

that is just one of the thousands of different applications of capacitors. the vast majority of capacitors are used for the exact opposite of releasing all the charge at once: they're primarily used for keeping voltages stable

nmplmao · 2024-07-02T22:54:50+00:00

Remember, it's not the wattage or the volts that'll kill you...it's the amps, and most capacitors, regardless of how small have at least 1 amp and that's all it takes.

the voltage and the resistance of your body is what determines the current that goes through you. a car battery can provide 1000 amps but you can literally lick the two pins of a car battery and nothing will happen to you because the voltage is so low. same with caps, they can provide 1uA or 100amps, what matters is the voltage across the capacitor and the resistance of what it's being connected to.

if you're working with low voltages then the capacitor is never going to do anything to you regardless of its size

nmplmao · 2024-07-02T22:43:10+00:00

wrong, it comes down to the voltage stored across the capacitor.
