IME, as someone who leveled up from jr to eventually sr in the same org over a 10yr period, the best advice I can give is be confident in your skills and be willing to take calculated risks. Teams are always chasing deadlines and resolving

I really hope people don't start doing this on their own. Although I'd expect a lot of first responders now have equipment to handle a lithium fire, will the DIY'er in their own garage? The design of the charging circuit for

My engineering courses were filled with cheaters. Fortunately, these become apparent in the workplace and filter out in the first few years. Any major with promise of wealth will have those who will resort to ill means to get ahead in the s

Quite a few negative reactions regarding the decision to go back to coaching in retirement. I think change has to start at the coaching level, as boycotting the sport will do little to change the status quo, especially in the immediate. A f

The list of 4 items is excellent. Under no circumstances should you act in an insubordinate manner until you've exercised other channels of communication. Acting before things get too far is the easiest remedy. I'd recommend the f

> In my opinion (and I welcome disagreement and debate) engineers have an obligation to say 'no' to wiring unethical code. And, IMO, yours is absolutely the correct one. As engineers, we are in a unique position to understand t

I meant what I said. I believe a lot of researchers (in academia) would do it in their spare time, after hours, weekends, etc, even if it wasn't also their means for income. Their hobby and curiosities happen to align with a job that p

Many are in research to get paid for something they would otherwise do for free. Those interested in cash will grow tired of the funding cycles and move on. There isn't much of a financial reward in research. You believe you're on

The reason often varies depending on the Asian country and with varying level of social acceptance. It is not limited to illness (contraction or spreading). For example, in Taiwan, females will wear the mask to block the sun in an attempt t

My introduction to markup was the Geocities era HTML. I was in 3rd grade or so at the time. Got access to my dad's Casio digital camera and took pictures of my friends and teachers and then swapped heads and bodies using Kidpix. In com

I keep nail clippers in my desk exactly for this reason. I hate the feeling of rough bitten nails which became an unproductive distraction in itself. Now, I clip instead. My nail grooming has become on point.

I pace. I do laps around the lab, between buildings and to the nearby beach when my mind gets jammed. Used to think watching the waves would settle my mind. Being at the beach just makes me want to go surf. Ive have had quite a few software

SPOT uses Globalstar. Argument against Globalstar is that it is not a true polar to polar real-time solution like Iridium. Iridium is the only constellation where you will always find a bird overhead anywhere on the globe (with a ground sta

You do need some level of line of sight to the sky for Iridium voice, less so for sending SBD (similar to a text message). If your GPS can get a fix, you can probably find enough signal to send a SBD. Iridium carrier signal is stronger tha

Plenty of Iridium VARs will rent you equipment; phones, SBD beacons, etc. for less. If you're truely going off the grid and want realtime coms available there is no alternative to Iridium. An EPIRB is great if you just want to be found

Plenty of engineering students at top universities have jobs (not just internships). Time management is key. As someone who hires their own interns and Jr eningeers, it's shocking how few applicants have ANY prior work experience. I ha
