A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).

For really sensitive applications like voltage references, they actually build a little enclosure around the part with a built in heater to keep it at a constant calibrated temperature. The boards also often have cutouts to reduce thermal transfer and things like the board flexing causing stress to the part.

The resistor itself won't really drift at a constant temperature, especially in a sealed environment where condensation, corrosion, and dust aren't a factor.

I only ever used it in command lines. And use other simple IDEs (Textmate and a bunch of custom bundles on a Mac…) occasionally Atom based IDEs for some embedded electronics too, but only really as a hobby.
