You don't have to explain what a flip flop is, I'm a redstone engineer

He actually chained flipflops together for that joke, what a hero

"I've actually got a redundant flip-flop here. You don't need 15; you need 14. That was my mistake; that's called an off-by-one error."
- Steve, as he holds the leftmost flip-flop in a chain of 16

fifteen flip-flops was the name of my college band. Eight members one guy was missing a foot

"If you let it vibrate then it will eventually die down"
*actually waits to see the ruler stop vibrating*

"I am not going to explain what a flip flop is", proceed to provide the best explanation I have every heard.

He actually made a flip flop chain. Here good sir, have my like.

A quartz watch is often significantly more accurate than a second per day. But the clock in your car is also a quartz clock, and you've likely noticed that they must be adjusted often. The reason is that you're wearing the crystal on your wrist which has a constant temperature. Your car gets hot and cold depending on the weather, and the crystal's thermal expansion changes its vibration frequency.

13:53 You do need 15 flip flops and you had 16 hung up. You buy flip flops in pairs :)

LOL, Never have I seen someone explain Flip-flop circuits using actual flip-flops.

8 pairs of hardly used flip flops for sale on ebay now.

A long time ago, when I was doing my GCSEs, I went to a STEM event where you were one of the presenters. If I remember correctly you demonstrated harmonic resonance patterns in sand on a vibrating plate. You were a huge inspiration for me getting into STEM. I went from that event and ended up getting an electronic engineering masters, and now I'm nearing 30 and working as an FPGA engineer watching you explain flip flops with flip flops. 😂
Thank you for everything you do Steve, you inspired this engineer to find his dream career. I hope one day I can do the same for the next generation.

I rate this video 9.7/10: flip-flop redundancy is a costly error.

Minecraft redstone taught me what a "flip-flop" circuit is.

Steve: "That's called an off by one error, happens a lot in programming"
Me, a programmer: vietnam flashbacks

I am an electronics & automation engineer, and let me tell you, your explanation is astonishing good. You have explained a complex process in an extremely simple yet perfectly correct way.

"That's called an 'off by one' error. Happens a lot in programming."

I have been a software engineer for 33 years and involved with electronics for over 40 years and truly this is one of the best explanations that I've ever seen for how frequency division works just an outstanding job!!!

Did you just use a chain of literal flip-flops to explain binary?
