I would pay for a membership if it is somewhere closer to my house and is clean. Most of the time I see labs very disorganized and is hogged by the know it alls.

What an absolute dream they are living. Apart from top tier programming skill it involves being extremely lucky.

Do you have any advise on how to get that intuition? I can see mess of certain companies and their bullshit but I was wrong thinking that they would collapse as they still are limping and alive. Granted it is during good times and have to w

> I can't tell you how many 'vice presidents' are in my rolodex Yes I have seen this. This person was boasting about being a "Vice President" and then I see almost everyone is a VP. What is up with this?

I too have the same feeling. For me it was Turbo C and later Redhat Linux with its manual and website dump of text files of machine internals for learning to boot up things and program hardware. Now it is a complete mess of APIs and framewo

I had a maker mindset during my childhood and in my college days. I was so into core digital and analog electronics and a lot of tinkering with Linux. I had some good and interesting time in my career in patches where I was doing embedded m

Could you please elaborate? I too am in a similar situation where I used to love programming embedded stuff for almost 16+ years and now I lost interest in all these things. Not sure what is happening. I had come out of some very bad days i

Oh man I was a Gentoo user once. That was funny and brought a lot of memories back. I was building KDE from source and it took 1.5 days to build I think lol.

Yes. I have a watched a lot of his videos which I usually keep in the background. He dabbles into a lot of stuff from FPGAs in embedded to COQ (Formal language theorem prover) but there is not much depth in his videos. In a few weeks he wou

I disagree with you. I found the common engineering subjects to be of lot of interest especially workshop. Being a polyglot it has helped me immensely in many things be it with work or outside of work. For eg: Being in embedded product deve

It is very evident in his videos that he is trying to show off. There is a lot of code snippets that he copies and lots of pasting code which is kind of boring to watch. In fact I really like to watch your videos as it deals with a lot of l

> “I live by morals, I don’t live by laws,” Hotz told The New Yorker in 2012. “Laws are something made by assholes.” Reminds me more of Hindu Dharma. I like his take.

Are you me? I used to do the same thing i.e. read books cover to cover and I still do. I still used to bring books very recently and as you said people get pissed off. There are other curious and rude people who would pick my book and think

I have come to the conclusion that working hard is basically rolling the dice. You can roll your dice in a single game or change games or even multiple games simultaneously. The thing is it is impossible to know if will be lucky or not. So

How much time did you take to write the emulator? I am very interested in emulation and have been with wrestling with Qemu for quite sometime now to port an architecture to it. I find it needlessly complicated though.

Maybe someone can help me, how can an individual benefit from Linux Foundation? Help means work/career opportunities, business opportunities, consulting opportunities. I want to have first mover advantage in AgStack.

By any chance is the AMD acquisition of Xilinx also targeted towards emulation market for their gaming processors? In the future would they have the emulated bitstream present for different iterations of the gaming consoles?
