I had one of these when I was around 6-8 years old. I did a few of the projects, but never spent much time with it until I realized I could hook up each part to an extension cord and when I plugged in the extension cord the part would expl

100% agree. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. That said, by following this advice, I've now got $800k post-tax cash vs $4-5 million in stock, assuming I would have held on to my shares. Oh well.

Bought an Ikea particle board couch back in 2017 and it's still going strong despite heavy use by two fat people and 3 moves where it was dis/re-assembled. I recently added a support to the armrest where the unbacked fiberboard h

HN skews towards web devs. Rarely do I find their experiences line up with mine(systems/embedded programming).

Not surprising. AI models are rapidly evolving and evolve more quickly than HW can keep up. For instance, I'm guessing Tesla is wishing they had more capability in the latest FSD HW(HW3?), which is now something like 4-5 years old.

As I've gotten older I've noticed things that used to just come to me(simple things, like compound boolean statements) now require thought. In addition,I take a lot longer to ingest new info and reason about it. To work around thi

Don't think of it like that. Go where you think you'll be the most productive and learn the most. Nvidia could grow substantially from here(probably less than 50% chance of that) or they might not, but your RSUs are going to be

Are there no headphones with AGC or a limiter? Seems like a good product to have.

Were those Teslas used as rental cars? Were they charged/discharged aggressively by users unconcerned with longevity? I rented a Model Y from Hertz. The battery life was suspiciously poor during the 3 or so days I drove it, necessita

A solution is there if we had the will to implement it: https://www.osti.gov/biblio/963122 Take excess water from SE floods and pump it west opportunistically using excess renewables. Bonus because you can use the pum

Easy to put a painting, pictures, etc behind the TV. Doesn't running the display, even without the backlight, take energy?

That requires energy.

I only interviewed once with them, but there wasn't anything I'd consider leetcode. There was a rather aggressive interviewer who drilled me on an architectural web services question despite interviewing for a systems programming

You don't have any interest in a TV that effectively disappears when it's off? You'd rather have a large, black monolith to look at?

Cool. It's more or less what I did for my senior project back in the late 90s. I think the 68k is the perfect choice for something like this due to the simplicity and much more reasonable performance compared to, say, a 6502 based de

I'm not sure why there is an obsession with 8-bit architectures for these sorts of projects. Are there no 32-bit CPUs with a simple architecture and easy programming model? I say this as an old fart who has a great deal of nostalgia f

Nice to see some love for make. Sure, make syntax sucks. It's arcane and hard to google much of what is going on. (Shower thought... a tool that lets you view a Makefile, giving explanatory tooltips for syntax elements would be great

This 100%. The vast majority of programmers' lives is spent reading code. We need to be able to interpret, repair and extend the work of others. I often hear this defense of C++, that you only need to know certain parts and the rest ar

Tastelessness perhaps has something to do with the distance which they must travel. Less ripe tomatoes transport better.

Interesting. I always wondered why I hated Hershey's. It's not just the taste, but also the horrible mouthfeel. I recently bought a couple 5lb bags of Ghirardelli(lower lead+cadmium, maybe) chips as a cheaper way of satisfying m

No fan of Tesla(rented one, hated it), but you have a point. Subaru had two different firmware issues that caused us to be stranded two different times(the battery charge issue and the fuel gauge issue). Both were known issues when we were

It depends on the context. In all of the discussions I've had on this topic, the quality people are concerned with is the performance of a company as an investment. In that sense, consulting does not scale. Sure, you can build a big,

This. Many of the folks I worked with liked 35 hour weeks and stayed in consulting because they were avid cyclists/surfers/hikers/etc. The sort of folks that like high pay and poor work/life balance end up at big valley

Some bad takes in that old discussion. "Consulting doesn't scale" "Sure it does, just look at Accenture!" No, Accenture is big because consulting is not very profitable and it's easy for Accenture to accumulate

Definitely not the norm at the places I've worked. I would even bill for some downtime if the customer was blocking me from getting work done and the contract expected me to work full-time as it was preventing me from taking on other

by 01100011 3y ago
The companies I worked for did it by: - Having better than average engineers. Not "10x", just better than average. - Having a project manager required for nearly all projects. The customer was billed for this and it was worth it

Wow, this is a pretty good summary of what I saw during my 15 or so years at "design services" companies. One way around some of these issues is to pay employees by the hour. At the places I worked, there was a large pool of folks
