Things are pretty specialised and RF before you need a 100K oscilloscope. I have a 500MHz DSO, 16 channel logic analyser, 10 digit GPS locked frequency counter, 5 digit bench multimeter and a 2GHz AWG and I think it's not even 10K. (I&

The Olympiad questions are puzzles, so you can't memorise the answers. To do well you need to both remember the foundations and exercise reasoning. They are written to be slightly novel to test this and not the same every year.

I am certainly not saying everything you say is not all true. My comment is dark humour. I really like your last point. Years ago I replaced a huge hadoop cluster data processing job with a single app on one machine with a few CPUs, that re

But, on the same insurance theme; I am not sure paying 10K a year to insure my 5K car makes a lot of sense, because, in the long run, I might write my car off.

Who is going to get a new job without k8s on their resume. :) Seriously, I think a lot of people do things the hard way to learn large scale infrastructure. Another common reason is 'things will be much easier when we scale to a massiv

'lambda' apps. Do people still use them for full production systems? We use them a bit for ancillary things but TBH, if you have some k8s or similar, solution, it's maybe not worth it to not use a standard container deploymen

I notice, outside of Sydney there a few. There seem to be a bunch of Binance jobs. Are they the ones that are scams? They look kinda wacky, the Rust job says "Who may apply Current university students and recent graduates who can work

The title is "Google says". It's pretty normal for people to assume some public statement is like this would be a company thing, not just some single person of very small team.

I can't see what is 'undefined' here. I would expect the program to read the first byte of memory and test if it is 0 or not. If I was writing this in assembly for an MCU, I would write exactly the same code in the target ins

I've experienced something very similar in the same field. It's honestly frustrating when you're fully prepared and qualified, yet the process feels more like a trivia game than a genuine evaluation of your skills and experie

In case you want to connect it to HA, Tasmota IR supports my Daikin via an esp32 IR sender really well.

by mianos 2y ago
The remote has no feedback. I have found Tasmota IR 100% reliable over 3 years. It sends the whole state on every transmission so the IR has no receiver. https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Tasmota-IR/#sending-ir-comman

I got the Daikin for the same reason. You have to pay extra for a wifi module but after reading the reviews on their app, they mostly said, it kinda worked but largely useless. I built an esp32 IR sender and put Tasmota IR on it. It has fir

A CSV file has sub expressions? Even if it has commas in quotes, it's a comma seen in the state 'collecting text'. There is no need for anything more complicated than an FSM. Maybe there is in leetcode. One character of pushb

You are making an example of my point? When parsing something like a comma separated list I generally don't get carried away with anything more with a switch/case state machine.

Of course I have. I worked in embedded systems at the start, but write one from scratch nope. I do agree with you about the lack of traditional CS. Whenever I am parsing anything, I first reach for a FSM, and none of all the bullshit string

Amazing story. I am sure no one watched it because it would be front page if they did.

Bullshitters making it into the higher ranks is another thing altogether. That's an unfortunate side effect of 'promotion of the uninvolved'. Look at google now. Their project management is based on this system: https:/

Example, me, I have not written a sort in C++ in 40 years. I do follow the research and often look under the hood of the libraries to get a feeling of the pros and cons to an implementation, but I have never written one from scratch, let al

The idea they had was to just make something up, like pandas and a series/columnar database, themselves. There are other competitors to kdb/q, but they are not as entrenched and maybe not a perfect fit. These guys cooked up a clos

I think people are getting a little tired of being held ransom to kdb/q and kdb consultants. Even if you have 'oil barrels' of money, eventually it is annoying enough to look elsewhere.

Yep, it's just some "cargo cult". I attended a meetup a number of years ago at a local trading firm, well known for a barrage of impossible puzzles and some simpler, like implement an order book for a matching engine. One of

A big thing is the rise and rise of bullshitters. Wall to wall buzzwords and made up stories about what they did in their last job. Leetcode filters a lot, but it also filters out, just as many, if not more, people who can actually do what
