There’s an active region between on and off where the current from the collector to emmiter is proportional to the base current. This can be used in other applications like amplifiers. But in digital applications that active region is the transition time between low and high states.

In order to obtain a deterministic outcome the rising edge must be predictable and it must stay at a logic level 1 for long enough to account for propagation delay. These considerations are known as setup and hold. The higher the frequency the clock runs, the tighter these constraints become.

Transistors are only on and off switches when run in saturation. This is relevant to CPUs in the sense that the rising/falling edge and jitter affect the setup and hold times and thus the maximum clock rate. End pedantry.

THEY’RE … fine, actually. Pretty good.

The spice must flow

The answer to why they have those effects would grant you a Nobel prize.

His point was that we don’t understand the interaction between fundamental forces enough to say, if we were to try and answer the question accurately enough.

So, in one sense ICP was right that we don’t know how magnets work. But also they were wrong that scientists be lying. They shouldn’t have been pissed.

Jesse, What the Fuck Are You Talking About.

To each their own, for sure, but I love a chatty cashier.

That’s the funny thing, I do. But I would never compare them to the numbers printed on the prisoners at Auschwitz, because that would be something only a gigantic asshole would do!

No because I didn’t do that, you’re still a moron and a stalker that is worthy of reporting.

I could teach you, but I got some shit I need to knock off a counter somewhere.

Out here on the left path looking around suspiciously.

If we’re questioning the matter of free will or material circumstance, then that’s a separate conversation.

But I get to choose whether I find joy in the job I chose and whether that amounts to job satisfaction. Yes. I’m allowed to find happiness in whatever I want.

Naw, I get to determine that, thanks.

Big oof.

Vhdl gang rise up.

Moment moment.

Hell ya. I’m resurrecting a netbook right this moment. Pretty stoked about it.

Waste of internet bandwidth. I don’t like hearing about narcissists flopping their prangus around in their chairs.
