I'm not too well educated on their gov'ts, but how effective was it? Any signs or indicators that it worked out for the better? Call me intolerant or ignorant, but I personally fear seeing what the general populus would try to get

This is pure speculation, but I think the devaluation on PhDs in America might have to do a lot with the large of influx of people in college just attending to "get a degree". I feel this made colleges more of a business than a pl

I've known PhD friends that will straight up lie on their resumes when applying to places and only list that they're a masters student. I'm fairly sure this is legal since they technically did graduate with a master's de

Well, that's depressing. Almost hard to believe, to be completely honest -- but I might just be around the right group of people?

I don't really follow how having money in stocks, bonds and a house is somehow capable of being wiped away by the market when a savings account in a bank wouldn't be in dire straits with such an economic upheaval to render those 3

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the point was that savings accounts are not worth it, leading many people to say their saving accounts are barren, not that they don't have savings saved up. Personally I'd fall into that

Come now, even the video states itself that's likely fake.

I totally get what you mean but that isn't really the issue here. While over-sensitivity is often an honest worry plenty of people have to needlessly worry about when trying to criticize if it isn't sparkled with numerous reassura

Honestly, I think that this introduces a new barrier that trolls and abrasive people won't go through the bother of doing -- but people genuinely interested won't really find this much of an issue. It also might serve as a place w

Wow seeing a clear example yourself really just gets the picture across. I was giving some credence to the fact that these people were just blunt to each other, but this is just toxic and hostile. If it were just blunt honesty their excuses

by HLRoku 11y ago
Not to nitpick, but it is perfectly possible to be honest with someone without coming across as hostile. There may be cases where being blunt and honest might be difficult without coming across as rude, but if the default honest behavior is

Thanks for the read, just finished. The most interesting thing about this post for me is that what he's saying seems like it should just be common sense -- of course that's the way things are, it makes a lot of sense and is a very

My process to learning programming and the people I've talked to, as well as the experience in my current industry all might be intersting reads -- just wondering, but is there any interest in a blog? I was afraid my employer might fin

by HLRoku 11y ago
Thanks, I truly appreciate the offer, however right now I'm more committed to pursuing more of a pure software position as I feel there's so much to learn in that field. Had I known about embedded engineering in detail I'd pr

Yeah, it's what's been keeping me up at night. I'm a fairly safe person, so I don't like risks, but one day I had a realization: "What am I doing with my life? Is this /really/ what I want to do with it? A

I'm honestly comforted to see this being a common thing among posters here. And I agree, as I look into my company's chain it just gets more business focused the higher you go, and that's not what I became an engineer to be.

by HLRoku 11y ago
Thank you, I appreciate it. I was thinking that if I stay relatively low level or do arduino and FPGA work on the side, my EE fundamentals can transfer and mix with my software skills at any many jobs, such as embedded engineering or even w

by HLRoku 11y ago
This coincides with what my friend told me as well -- he said most CS graduates don't really get low level hardware processes, and my knowledge in that can be quite desirable, especially since Electrical Engineering is a related field

Ask HN: As an EE graduate, should I rush into becoming a Software Engineer?
