I am pleasantly surprised by this reading! I have been trained as an EE to consider FPGA design in the hardware skills domain, and indeed I would say that this writeup ignores the less friendly parts of FPGA development (timing closure, clo

With my band, we have experienced though that there is (should say was , 2015) not enough visibility, so we opted for big streamers which ripped the money off us, but allowed us to be heard more widely.

What I have experienced in my present job (with hardware and software engineers) is that there are _many_ who voluntarily or by prescription skip caffeine in favor of hot drinks with no stimulants, but none of them actually is "showing

Right, very good point about the endianness of the year. Makes sense now.

Considered that most of the world uses "little-endian" format for date writing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Date_format_by_country_(n... ) how comes ISO 8601 was set on "big-endian"? Not so

With friends using VLC on their linux box and unaware of the beauty of libaa/libcaca, I'd type: vlc --vout caca videofilename.ext and then look at them being scared/curious/amazed in that order!

I feel the need to echo metaphor's reply. Even if tools for FPGAs do become better through the years, it doesn't mean they'll become "sw dev friendly". If you do software you should be fluent with data structures, w

When I tried to exercise to get over a depressing time, I just couldn't manage to start. Then I one day planned to do it starting the following week and finally got it done. And so I found that using a physical agenda is the way to k

When I was doing more physical jobs than now (also very stressfull), my collegues were amazaed at how I could handle the fatigue and anxiety that well without taking coffee. I still believe that actual abstinence from caffeine is the answ

True, in my company we can't afford to shut in August considered that 90% of our clients are outside Italy. But generally speaking it goes that way. Possibly paid holidays lower the average then. (BTW: ferragosto is just one day - Aug

Both. I guess the issue is that freelancing is not a thing here. Those that get into webdev through a company (especially marketing or nice startups) seem to be doing really well, but they are few to my knowledge.
