Having a computer engineering degree helps. Outside of the embedded equivalent of CRUD, you'll have to know the details of how a computer works. How memory visibility and synchronization works, what mmio is, basic assembly, interrupt c

I haven't had a hard time finding employment. I am going to start at a FAANG next week, coming from another FAANG. I work in embedded / hardware. I think what is being asked for is changing and people are being caught flat footed.

I mean, this is all anecdotal, but I've only ran into the most vexing parse a few times, I rarely had to use the pimpl idiom, and the header file stuff... okay that isn't great. I've been a c++ dev for 10 years and I actually

C++ really is a blast and I think the complaints people have about it really depend on context. Lots of C++ devs hate that language but imo misdirect their hate. They actually work on legacy products built by people who were never that grea

For new grads, just let them in. Just make sure they know something so a simple coding exercise is maybe good there. For more senior people, actually talk about their resumes and try to understand what they did, why they did it, and importa

I am good at passing these interviews and am at a faang (will be moving to another one this month). These interviews are useless and provide a false signal on problem solving skills and people's abilities to learn things. The interview

I mean, nothing stops you from not using it. It's just a really well designed piece of software and it does a good job of getting out the way something a lot of IDEs don't do well (visual studio for example).

Vim is great but I think VSCode really is the one tool to rule them all going forward. It's extremely well designed, snappy, and I think does the correct thing of first treating everything as a text file and allowing plugins to provide

Sure, but what are they gonna do? Fact check you after you win? We already see that nobody cares about that. If the dem's actually cared about the people they say they represent, they would be trying to win even if it meant overpromisi

I think that's the wrong way of thinking about it. The prices of goods are high, people hate it and want it fixed. What plans do the Dems have for actually addressing the high prices? They can say this instead: "I know things are

Tire and brake particulate is actually a big component of pollution and EVs will cause more pollution from tire and brake debris, which is already a larger portion of pollution than tail pipe emitions. We're increasing one type of poll

In the moment yes. Do you have an actually reasonable set of laws that could solve these societal level problems that encourage obesity in let's say, the next ten years? Also, they have to be passable. Here is another disease caused an

Well, I'm describing how I perceive the world to be right now and ozempic is a technological solution to a societal problem. If as a society we can make steps to fix it (more walkable cities, less work in general, cheaper society, enco

` I hike, snowboard, go to the gym and eat sensibly. That's all the "weight control" I need.` So you are likely in an income bracket that enables you to have an active lifestyle outside of work and take the time outside of wo

Speaking from experience, that assume that you are currently maintaining your weight. I think a lot of people are gaining weight slowly, so burning those calories actually just keeps you at your existing weight, not decreasing it. It's

As they said though, the hash function on a string type requires looking at every element in the string. Also, modulo is historically very slow. So, they still have to deal with O(n) operations, where n is the length of the input string. If

C is the lingua franca for embedded and I think embedded is becoming bigger, both in community and in literal size. There are lots of new devices that are bigger than a small arduino (and even bigger than my pc from a decade ago) and requir

I've fixed multiple latency issues due to nagle's multiple times in my career. It's the first thing I jump to. I feel like the logic behind it is sound, but it just doesn't work for some workloads. It should be something

I don't think we're treating them like adults. We're kinda just treating them like toys. My parents grew up in a dictatorship and poor, but ironically they had more freedom of movement. There were significantly less eyes on t

The article isn't an endorsement of using thread unsafe structures without protection in a multithreaded context. It's simply analyzing why the bug was less prevalent with one data structure vs. another. It's an interesting q

I agree that hiding data is bad and the company should be punished. I was simply commenting on the fact that people frequently do not stop when running over pedestrians, which the parent comment claimed.

Except it didn't immediately do that. Cruise released a report today saying that the car actually drove 20 feet and dragged the woman. There is no simple answer as to what to do. It's simply difficult and acting like there are eas

The person who hit and run the woman in the first place shows this is obviously not true. You think they didn't notice?There was a muni bus who hit a pedestrian a few weeks ago and didn't even notice.

It's interesting reading this because this has been my role for a few years. I've also had similar problems with management wanting to pip me and things like that. Luckily, my company does peer review in addition to top down revie

There is actually a whole podcast called 5-4 that goes over how illogical and partisan the court is and always has been. Every episode is a specific case. They go over the actual arguments and show why they don't work. You can educate

SFMTA is trying and literally making anti infrastructure, such as Valencia. I agree with your solution, but politically it's going nowhere. Self driving cars exist because our politicians are inept.

Sorry, you're right. I actually meant to write 24th street. Also, I do not blame homeless people for their situation. They are not getting the help that the state and city needs to provide, but aren't actually interested in provid
