Same here. Embedded programmer, primary language being C. I sat here staring at that line for a solid 30 seconds trying to understand the intent - it’s nonsensical. I read your com…

I think anytime you need to start stepping through assembly instructions instead of C in a debugger is also when you start reflecting on life choices.

Not a hardware bug, but in embedded I ran into a fun one early into my first job. I setup a CI pipeline that took a PR number and used it as the build number in a MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD…

Have you found a solution to mid-large scale embedded test setup? Could you provide some shallow insight into frameworks or other infrastructure used for embedded testing? I've pre…

I looked through the datasheet, but couldn't figure out what "1KW" of program memory meant.

How does a wealth tax work when the majority of your assets are illiquid? Stake in a company, real estate, etc. are difficult to tax and still have predictable recurring tax revenu…

I don't have a strong background in AI/ML, but aren't quite a few advances in this tech driven by a "throw at the wall and see what sticks" attitude? I was under the impression tha…

It's a rollout that probably wouldn't happen all at once. Human drivers for tough conditions, while self driving vehicles inhabit Arizona and LA.

I see this attitude a lot when this type of discussion comes up. People seem to focus a lot on the idea that if you "run your life into the corner" then it automatically becomes ac…

I'm curious, my uni satellite club is using the same camera for a cubesat, is that the same domain you're using it for?

Wouldn't the ship's mass only appear to increase to the outside observer?
