Advertized Parameters, Offset V, ARGH!

Welcome to the world of sales and marketing :-)

Ye olde OP07 has become cheap, around 30c in qties:

You'd have to get confirmation that the 250uV max is valid without external trim (it should). And without Mars and Jupiter to have to be in a certain constellation.

MCP6061 is pretty good as well, comes in 2- and 4-pack as well. But you haven't said what voltage, speed, and so on.

I haven't, because I was mostly just whining. I had thought of making a separate post with The Whole Question, and I think I'll do so now!

Digikey seems to have dropped a notch. Was looking for converters today and the list does like 180mA, 1A, 250mA, 290mA ... ARRRGH&%#!!

Maybe they lowered the threshold for the data entry folks?

Arrow does the same. I told our rep that I wouldn't use their site until they got that fixed.

Nope. Programmers.

It looks like an alpha based sort:

So the first char, then the 2nd char etc.

The problem is likely rooted in mgmt though- the programmer rarely is granted time enough to get things done "right".

Yup. It's evolution in action. If you go and fire your programmers who take the extra day to do it right because they "take too long" then the programmers that survive will be ones that do things like that.

Then, when your competitors start hiring those damned slow-tops and engineers buy from them instead of you -- you die, and Darwin wins.

Could it be an outsource-problem?

I had a serious chat with the guys from our utility yesterday (PG&E). They had quietly dropped the baseline on us which caused the bill to jump up. After I debunked half a dozen excuses via the phone I leveled it, pointed the supervisor's supervisor onto their web site. Had the old baselines. "Yeah, but, we can't update it the millisecond things change" ... "You told me the change happened over a month ago" ... "Ahm, well, ahem, we'll call you back on that". Today someone called back and was very apologetic. They had obvisouly also hand-corrected the web site.

And no, while a supermarket will and has to honor the posted price, they didn't.

Guess their programmers don't really understand how databases work, or maybe they outsourced it.

IOW, a dumb programmer.

Outsourcing is lowering the threshold.

If you ever get radiation treatment, you'll be glad those "dumb programmers" took the time to get it right.

Well, if they didn't get it right, then they were the ones that thought they were so smart in getting the job done quickly- because according to your remark, the ones taking longer to get it right must be "dumb".

Warren

Typical programmer; clueless.
