Not in this instance no. ZBB is a pretty common budgeting method I think. All the corporations I've worked at have used in in some regard.

Sorry less, I mean 4 days in the office, 1 from home.

Apologies yes, I mean 4 days in the office and 1 work from home - not a 4 day work week.

It does feel that way. They are an ex-division executive. If anything, I feel like this could be a case of them getting nicely managed out while building out that CEO experience before they go off and retire successfully into the sunset aft

I should note that we've had a huge amount of redundancies on top of people leaving for other opportunities. My guess is they want a very low-cost business that looks good in terms of its balance sheet so when it goes to IPO everything

My company recently spun out of a much larger corporation and has just implemented a 4-day week policy after nearly 5 years of flexible work (ie. come in when you need to be in to do your job). Since then, my team has halved and the senior

I wasn't the one to downvote you for reference, but to be clear, moving out and abandoning my partner and country so I can put together a half-baked MVP and give away equity for that hard work isn't what I, nor anyone else on this

When I say I'm an electrical engineer, people often think I make a shit load of cash and barely work. Then I need to clarify I'm not an electrician.

I said computer to specify on-chip design, not hardware as in PCB/electronics work. I worked initially on CPU integration for industrial computers, which was that lower figure. I pivoted to FPGA design a couple of years ago and make a

I'm in the same boat. I've been chasing my tail for the last 6 years, just trying to keep my head above water financially. I'm a computer hardware engineer so the pickings are slim to none outside of the military-industrial c

I live in Europe so most of my customers don't have English as a first language. Any questions are generally in pretty broken English. Honestly, reading through and making sense of what they're trying to say is a real mental chall

I'd argue that thinking solely in terms of potential investment opportunity isn't capturing the whole value of trading on your local country's stock exchange. It's more money and a larger investor pool today, but less ch

I gave up on my Hotmail completely quite recently for the same reason. It seemed to just stop filtering altogether. I'd recieve somewhere on the order of 50 spam emails to my main inbox a day. If anything, it filtered more email I did

I'm pleased to see another British company actually stick to the London Stock Exchange. Many are starting to list themselves on the US stock market, Arm being at the top of my mind in terms of tech. I think I remember them losing 30 £1

You absolutely can and many do. The issue is GPUs are a commodity product that get most of the way there in terms of performance without rewriting a whole software stack, and have huge economies of scale. You just buy millions of pre-existi

There's a good podcast called Acquired. Highly recommend it. They're private equity guys who cover the history of companies and what made them great, and cover the topic very well. For IBM and AT&T, from what I gather it seems

They'll do what every vendor does; find that one workload that it's better at, and play that off as if it's that performant at every workload. Bad at 3DMark? Try Cinebench, Superposition, PCMark, Geekbench, SiSoftware Sandra,

I just want to reiterate the comment you're replying to; in mine and I safely assumed until now everyone else's mind, hardware means electronics/electrical. When I job hunt for a computer engineer role, I often use "hard

Even Sanderson's "adult" fiction can read as incredibly immature at times. Every character seems to have a caricature of a mental illness. Every thought and feeling they experience seems to tie back to it, and it derails the

I love to see infrastructure jobs like this that don't interfere with people's daily lives. A similar feeling when I watch the Japanese build a subway in just 3 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BYW4YYqG5A M

Reframe it in your mind. "Getting into FPGAs" needs to be broken down. There are so many subsets of skills within the field that you need to level expectations. No one expects a software engineer to jump into things by building a

I work at one of the big 3 FPGA companies, so I can give you an idea of where our teams spend most of their time, and you can translate that into a hobbyist project as you will. 1. Video and Broadcast. Lots of things to be done here. New pr

You raise another good point; is all monetization of a hobby the same? No, of course not. It's such a blanket statement to say "Save the money-making schemes for work". Plenty of people have collecting hobbies that almost go

You're conflating direct property theft with a very different practice. It's also a very US-centric way of thinking; the rights of the individual going above the common good. Squatting rights used to exist to protect the impoveris
