Unfortunately many links are 404. Would have liked to have seen them.

Let me rephrase that. A toaster is functionally simple, but designing, engineering, manufacturing, and creating a business selling toasters is not. Also I'm making the assumption i…

To mix in with other's comments. It's always good to have a target in sight, but building a physical product with no experience will be a long, expensive journey. I make physical a…

I would disagree that example is a slippery slope, but more of a leap across a vast canyon. Going from providing information and requesting an action, to making an automated decisi…

Are you being specific about the word darken? Because LCDs are design to either allow or block light. So technically an LCD can "darken" incoming light. But I think the point of in…

Okay, I think this reply helps frame your stance much better. You are not necessarily proposing no C ever, but saying at least start a new project with a C++ compiler / IDE and if …

On Arduino, from my experience, it is easy to run into memory constraints, especially when using dynamically allocated memory like strings. And I'm taking about both the flash memo…

An 8-bit microcontroller where memory is constrained and all the vendor libraries are written in C, is a good example. Your 32-bit ARM M3/M4 cores are probably crossing that line w…

This is geared towards qtquick (not widgets) applications, but to create a general theme you can use this pattern: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.11/qtquickcontrols2-flatstyl... T…

I find your comment very similar in tone as the article: someone who is a interface designer that has had bad experiences with UX designers. I think this is unfortunate, because I …

From my internet researching a while ago the main difference, and why MLMs are legal, is that an MLM sells a product, whereas a pyramid scheme sells people. That is, you can make m…

I think it really depends on what you want to do. If you want to work with physical systems, computation, or data-science, then I think engineering physics is a good path. Where I …

I have a degree in Engineering Physics where I concentrated in Electrical Engineering. I also minored in Industrial Design. I currently work at a product design firm as an "Embedde…

Unfortunately this comment is conflating two ideas. Nothing in this article conflicts with the idea that a UX designer knowing how to implement their designs in code would be a ben…

Mainly because of the extensive Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL) libraries available from most mcu vendors

I am excited to see this come out: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Low-Power-Cellular-I... Seems promising, but I don't see the current consumption documented anywhere yet.…

It would not be more signal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference The goal of noise canceling is to fully use destructive wave interference to create a 0 amplitude "si…

Depending on the application, I'll use a Finite State Machine pattern, but if I need something more complex I'll use QM QP/C (which is uses a hierarchical state machine pattern). S…

What I assume IncRnd is referring to is the deterministic behavior of an RTOS. Here is a good white paper from National Instruments: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3938/en/

> Software is so complex that nobody really understands it. Unless this statement is trying to imply something deeper than what it states, I would disagree. I work with embedded sy…

Is running software/application in the Linux environment deem it a derivative work? Does Honeywell have to adhere to a GPL if they aren't modifying the Linux kernel? It's not clear…

Though we do have 4K tvs now.

I would actually say it is more of a game engine, especially when compared to three.js. Babylon.js supports physics plug-ins and collisions. They also have an action manager and ot…

Fair enough, his description seems misleading. To me a pixel is a discrete RGB value, which is made up of physical components, for example: https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=clo…
