Ethanol absorbs water which doesn’t always play nicely with seals and fuel lines, or at least that’s the commonly held belief.

Depends on what just setting up means. Someone tinkering with their first ESP32? Sure have at it with Chinesium. If you're getting more serious I'd say my $500 Saleae is a more valuable purchase than a $350 rigol scope recommended

I spent around $500 for a used Logic Pro 16 and it’s easily my most valuable purchase. Even for analog voodoo it’s good enough most of the time as I’m debugging logic level signals. I have a very capable Tek scope with all the bells and whi

I interned at a prop shop and all the professional traders there very explicitly did not consider themselves investors, they were day traders. The distinction was mostly a matter of time horizon, almost no one held positions overnight. The

An oddity of the market that surprised me when I got into it is the relatively low price of a hand shaped board. They’re described in the article as high end, and they can be, but odds are a local shaper can make you something custom for ar

I've interviewed at quite a few startups where the hardware was a raspberry pi/jetson strapped to some 80/20. Whether they fix the mechanical design or EE side first usually depends on whether they need to ship and go "s

Also viator and tripadvisor. I've made last minute bookings through all three. Market feels fairly crowded.

Any FAANG. But take a look at square for example because they’ve posted more reasonable salary ranges than most. Senior android engineer, 222-272k. Expired now but they had a senior firmware engineer for 202-247k. Unclear if those are base

Definitely true. You’re not gonna starve, if you doing embedded at $BIGTECH probably 200-300k TC, but there will be a discount compared to the regular software engineers wherever you’re working.

This is the first time I’ve heard someone be optimistic about embedded. Better than game dev or EE but that’s only one step up on the work/pay ladder. I find my work interesting but I would have made a lot more optimizing the search ba

It's not impossible and there are some advantages. I watched an entire apartment building in Oakland get assembled in like two weeks. The modular pieces were built at Factory OS in Vallejo and trucked in.

They have both california sourced oil and a blend of international oils, I think the blend came out when they were having supply issues. They state it plainly on the label.

I had something similar to some of the things described here, with a dumber cause. Started getting hardfaults in my firmware after a context switch. Thought bad array access, incorrect FPU settings, misbehaving interrupt. All dead ends. Rea

It happens on Amazon, there was a post on here about it. I’m not sure they’d want to double dip and demand the hush money in that case, but it seems possible it happens on Etsy too.

Congrats on moving out. I'd say the need for electrical skills depends a lot on what you're doing and the state of your company. $BIGTECH with large EE team or embedded linux? Probably ok if you can read a schematic and nothing el

Think hard about it, personally I think everything has a shelf life. You might be more engaged for 5 years or so then back at square one within a less profitable industry. I went straight to embedded after grad school. I enjoy it well enoug

That also eliminates windows. If I did that with my dell laptop and put in in my bag the battery would be drained and fans running on full blast very quickly.

Another example that bit me, flying from east coast to west coast. Storm in the Midwest we can easily avoid but that requires changing the route. Time to change the route with ATC + slightly longer flight time made the pilot time out, fligh

Yeah thought that should be obvious. Not every republican is a white nationalist but these people made no secret about their vote, or their belief in great replacement theory, or their views that non whites aren’t fit to hold government off

Don’t go to biker bars, there’s a couple pullouts in Oakland Berkeley where people tend to stop and chat. The warehouse in Port Costa is a known hangout though.

I don’t know about majority. Looking at pilot forums their scheduling system seems to be in complete disarray. Hours long wait times to get through on the phone, no awareness of where crews are even located.

In the embedded world it’s still a struggle to get people to use C99, maybe in 20 years for us.

The latter was already public knowledge, your entire salary history is probably available via The Work Number. This makes the former secret public knowledge.
