    How to deal with people having a headstart.

    Got that. My point is that to try out things if its costly to fail its hard to learn anything. Most of the people who had a headstart had their parents in the same profession they went into or had shops where they used to hang out.

    How to deal with people having a headstart.

    Exactly that but I didn't have parents who were engineers and my parents did not have the means to buy a new one if I broke things and would get my head chewn if I broke anything. They would buy toys only if I promised them I don't open them up to see how it works. Thanks for the awesome...

    How to deal with people having a headstart.

    I am doing that. I venture into other fields of science and engineering where I find people doing things when they were young. I kind of feel demotivated as I either did not have resources then or it didn't strike me then. :(

    How to deal with people having a headstart.

    I have colleagues who have a head start in engineering things quite early in their lives which I never had access to. It feels like I am trying to constantly catch up to them and they have better insights which I find hard to arrive at. I am curious as to how people deal with it here especially...

    Confusion regarding pulldown resistors.

    Doubts cleared. Thanks for the clear explanations. :)

    Confusion regarding pulldown resistors.

    If there is a pullup resistor and when I set the micrcontroller output to 0 then the output pin of the microcontroller (P1) will be set to ground and all the current should flow through the microcontroller output pin ground right?

    Confusion regarding pulldown resistors.

    But what if I need to put the logic to high and drive it low for enabling. Its a active low. So I need to drive it low to enable it.

    Confusion regarding pulldown resistors.

    Hi, I am having some confusion regarding pull down resistors. In the schematic I have a 100k pulldown resistor. P1 is the output port and the nOE(OE bar) is the input to a buffer. What is confusing me is if the P1 input is high impedance then the nOE should go high, but when the P1 pin...

    Graduate Regarding Upper and lower integral sets.

    When I do a \int_{a}^{b} s(x) dx I should have single number no? Even if he is considering different values for the step functions he should finally sum it up because the definition of integration says so right?

    Graduate Regarding Upper and lower integral sets.

    I am having some doubts in the definitions of the upper and lower integrals in apostol. There is a statement saying "Let S denote the set of all numbers _{a}\int ^{b} s(x) dx obtained as s runs through all step functions below f i.e. S = { _{a}\int ^{b} s(x) dx | s < f} " I did not get...

    How Do People Focus in Noisy Environments?

    I cannot use any headphones or music. The scenarios are noisy workplaces, and boring meetings. My mind is tuned to pay attention to whoever is talking. In case of noisy places where there are lots of people talking my mind gets confused as to what to pay attention to. Also I have a problem of...

    How Do People Focus in Noisy Environments?

    I have to work in a noisy and crowded place. I would like to know the techniques people use here to concentrate and focus. I have noticed that sports persons seem to have intense concentration but I don't know how they do it.

    Average distance for network topologies.

    If you have the diagram below: A-------B-------C Then Distance from A to B = 1 distance from B to C = 1 distance from A to C = 2 Number of distances 3. Average distance (1+1+2)/3. = 4/3

    Graduate Why Does the Integral of a Step Function Remain Unchanged by Endpoint Values?

    How can a set of all integers has length 0? Could you please elaborate on that?

    Back of the envelope calculations help.

    That's the exact problem I have i.e. keeping track of decimal points and also the 0's.
