for my 2016 Mazda, the keys do not need a battery to operate.

you instead need to hold the fob up to the start button and it will work passively, rather than just being in the car normally. Glad they still give manuals with cars as I had to learn that without service.

Sourdough doesn't need to be sour!

I think the main factor for this is how "mature" your starter is.

After feeding your starter it will expand, then collapse, then grow more sour. I generally time it so that my bread isn't as sour.

If I am baking soon -- larger leftover starter and smaller feed. if I am baking tomorrow -- tablespoon or so of starter with bigger feed to get my leaven.

I agree.

Phase Margin (How far away you are from 180 Phase Shift) is a critical parameter used whenever designing any kind of feedback loop and testing for stability.

This is very to measure at the 0dB gain he pointed out, but lacked the phase diagram to show this shift.

For room temperature I do like Fahrenheit, and feel it's pretty intuitive ... 100 is Hot, 0 is cold. 75 is pretty warm, 25 is pretty cold.

It doesn't match the small number scale, but still feels better.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by floating point for an ADC.

from a super high level all ADCS do is quantize an analog signal. They take in a voltage from say 0 - 1.8V and quantize that on a 12 bit range. Return a value from 0-4095. You could build one that scales this range with non-linear steps. But this doesn't add any value. We won't get more accuracy at smaller steps. Our noise and accuracy problems won't be solved by this as they are due to thermal noise or mismatch. quantization noise is not the problem. (We already build segmented ADCs to try and do this)

Remote work is nice, but the biggest advantage I've have at a small company is picking my own hours. I work with teams across the world, So I can take a 2 hours break after lunch to go biking, and then come back. I want freedom in daylight hours to do things.

Issue with a lot of these and switching regulators is off chip inductors, which take up space. In small form factors, SOCs etc, you need to use charge pumps and LDOs for internal analog/mixed signal voltages.

The other place where I see a lot more linear regulators is inside ICs! Working in Mixed Signal ICs and IP I see a lot of linear regulators.

Inductors are huge and (generally) off chip. If say your SOC has an AMS components, and PINs are a commodity, then you can't use anything but a Charge Pump and LDOs.

Because there is one of him vs thousands of the other
