Unfortunately yes. Lots of embedded software development is done by folks without a software background. EE's and electronics technicians dabbling in firmware.

Why would I do any of these? They are a huge time sink and I have plenty of job opportunities without jump through these hoops.

Special effects do nothing for me in movies. Movies that take the [Dogme 95]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogme_95 ) approach are more my style.

I have. Hiring manager lied about the job and put his two weeks in the week I started. I wasn't on the team I interviewed with nor doing the work I was promised. Noped right out of there.

There is nothing wrong with using the STL in a medical device. Its certainly preferable to worrying about malloc and free. If you can get away with it stick with std::array for buffers. If you need resizable buffers you can create std::vect

The Fed has a target of 2 percent of average inflation, so a long ways to go.

I know exactly what I have. You can even get glass progressive lenses which are very aspherical. https://lensfactory.com/collections/progressive/products/pro...

Because its free money. If you can borrow money at less than the rate of inflation its free. Free money drives up prices because you have more dollars chasing the same assets. See the housing market.

I don't disagree that some of those measures were needed, but they went to far. You can look at the broad stock market and see when the stock market started falling and the fed stepped in. They over corrected and stocks went way above

Drive interest rates to zero. Inflate assets with quantitative easing. Handout stimulus money. Provide companies with forgivable loans with little over sight. Who would have thought we would have inflation?

Garlic isn't hard to peel. People just do it wrong. Put in a tupperware container and shake the hell out of it. Dozen of cloves of garlic peeled.

I agree, I've done decades of embedded and more think client scientific computing, going back and forth between the two. Embedded pay isn't worth the pain of fighting hardware and working with people that don't know how to wr

The STM32 line is as close as you will get with this. Its HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is MIT licensed and is very similar across products. Products in the same family are nearly pin compatible.

I don't think any of these are in stock. Whole industry kept moving to higher cost parts as parts vanished.

The design service companies that non-tech companies go to to build their IoT solutions. IoT is an ill conceived, bullet point feature on many products. The companies adding IoT don't have the staff of know how, and contract it out, an

I see benefits of it, but I think its a hard sell. In aviation things need certified, you can buy off the shelf compilers, RTOSs, and libraries certified for aviation. Rust doesn't have any of that. Medical devices, maybe, but you sti

I've been doing embedded development for over 20 years. The rust evangelists just don't understand embedded development. Embedded developers are very conservative, they don't chase the shiny and believe in using old tried and

I've done work for a couple of clients, converting a micropython implementation to C on and ESP32, that would disagree with that statement.

by not_the_fda 6y ago
Neat, but not very practical. To be of any use you still need board support to drive the I2C, SPI, etc which means you have to use C anyhow. You can buy one of their boards with the BSP but that's over $40, yikes. To use micropython yo

Great job folks, you did it, you solved 1000s of years of racism. Surely not a single POC will be killed by a cop with these changes. Such ineffectual liberalism. So much effort that fixes nothing.

I know he's trying to be cheeky by saying its "not a wheel chair" to get around FDA regulation, but that's not how it works. Its clearly being marketed to disabled people as a mobility device, which makes it a wheelchair
