  • Why is this group dead?

    Are the folks losing interest?

    Is DSP just too easy these days?

    Are the kids running circles around us?

    Has most of the interesting stuff already been explored...ie not much new coming down the pipe?


    DSP has always been mostly a side thing for me. I have been able to apply it to work a few times. The most recent was I had to make AC power waveforms that swept in frequency. Using simulink and multiplying comlpex sinusoids I was able to do cool
    stuff.

    When I retire (hopefully 2 years) I want to become involved in the gnuradio thing. I have a decent working knowledge of the radio/DSP side of it but I am very weak at SW.

    Can you please describe some of the DSP-related projects that you have worked on? What software/hardware tools do you use and what are some common use cases?

    I am an electrical engineering grad looking to work on DSP and its applications in telecommunications.

    The DSP stack exchange group is really active.

    I am not sure. I haven't read it for some time now, but was pretty surprised how little there is.

    I don't know.

    Other groups I read are still going.

    My impression of Stack Exchange has been that there are far too many self-appointed protocol cops who obsess over how an author formats their post, while ignoring the value of its content.

    That's what I noticed too. Where else is good ?

    And 80% of the current content of comp.dsp seems to be about Italian porn. So, you takes your choice.....

    I believe that is because they have a rating system and people get in the habit of posting things that get them points. I posted in the VHDL group including a section of my "program". The first reply was someone telling me VHDL code isn't a "program".
    lol

    But I did get useful input from a very knowledgeable poster and resolved my issue as best as possible. He has replied to nearly every VHDL post I've made and helped me identify several bugs in the Aldec simulator. So Stack Exchange can be a very useful
    source.

    It's also important to note it is not a place for "discussion" as such. Posts are supposed to be a question and responses are either comments or answers. The comments are restricted in length and formatting. Many posts here would need to be split into
    multiple comments or made an "answer". Pretty much anything is better than Google Groups since they killed off classic.

    i dunno if i am one of them. i just want people to make use of the LaTeX math expression whereas here we are stuck with ASCII math.

    i have to admit that i left this old mistress for the newer younger squeeze. LaTeX math was the main reason.

    I'm required to use LaTeX for work. For those who don't know, it's pronounced "lay TECH". I call it "cave tech" for good reason. They invented wysiwyg a generation ago.

    Last I knew (some years ago) TeX had a specific pronounciation, but LaTeX didn't.
    I thought this was explained at the beginning of the book, which I don't have here.

    Usually when writing posts to newsgroups, or elsewhere, it is too much work to get the details needed for LaTeX. More often, I use notation from some programming
    language, though not always the same one. Depending on context, ** or ^ for exponents.
    sqrt() for square roots, and log() for logs.

    Hey Robert, Greg et al.,

    There is a pretty cool new online (La)Tex collaboration site called
    overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/

    That doesn't really help with this text-bound dinosaur... :)
