Maybe the US cars. Our cars in Germany go fast enough that Aero certainly matters.

My team from TU Munich's self driving racecar (TUfast Driverless) are some of the best engineers I've worked with, including during my time in industry. This is no surprise to me, and the sooner tech companies start tapping this

There's a point at which you have to wonder how wealthy the U.S actually is, if it can't even feed school children at no cost to their parents. At some point it starts to resemble DPRK propaganda.

That's different to what the freelance visa is designed for.

Can't edit so I'd also like to add : Germany has a freelancer visa. If you can prove you have clients, contracts in the pipeline, and some savings, it's a matter of bringing some documents and filling out a form at the Auslän

It won't matter. You need the bachelor's degree in your field to get a work visa, but it need not be from Europe.

Sorry yes, 18 is correct.

Answering for Germany, Berlin/Munich in particular. 1. You'll need a bachelor's degree in your field, but you won't need a masters. That said, getting a masters may give you a leg up. Postgrad education in Germany is fre

What is a good resource for getting started with this kind of development? I've done some write-an-OS tutorials but nothing with bare-metal or RTOS yet, and I'd like to.

It took a few tries, and I started off easy with the bed making, then building on that. It's not so hard to make yourself make your bed or drink some water. Then when I'd gotten a couple of those down as a regular thing, it was ju

That's Camus right?

I actually found it a lot easier when I was full-time employed because my schedule was automatically so structured. Morning standup, weekly meetings, ship dates.

Well the very first one was literally just 'make your bed as soon as you get up'. I read that idea somewhere else as a way to get a small win right away which I really needed because my startup wasn't doing so great - so I tr

I realized a while ago that inspiration isn't very helpful for getting you through adversity. Inspiration gets you going, but grit and discipline ultimately help you push through. I'm going to go against the grain of most of what&

I understand this criticism from experienced C programmers, and yes Zed doesn't always give a strict-standard accurate account. But for a total novice, the approach of broken thing, figure out why it's broken, fix it, is very powe

But the problem here is that software engineers are not hired only for the quality of their final product - the evaluation is necessarily more complex and probably can't be done 'blind' since interpersonal interaction is so i

As a self professed good software engineer, you know that debugging requires explicit and implicit assumptions to be reevaluated. Here are some you've made that may be introducing bugs into your thought process: - when someone evaluate

This reaction seems a little overwrought, but then again the frequency of this kind of drama generated by reddit really seems to be pathological. What is it about a critical mass of people in one place on the web that causes these kinds of
