As electronics rely more and more on ICs, subtle details about discrete components get lost because we spend less time designing with them. For example, a relay seems like a simple component, but ...

All buck converters need capacitors on the input. Actually, in a perfect world, if the supply had zero output impedance and infinite current capacity and the tracks had zero resistance or inductance, ...

The laugh-out-loud workplace comedy “30 Rock” (2006–2013) averaged more than seven jokes per minute, using the gamut of gags to get guffaws. Beyond a spectacular cast (Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy ...
