I’m developing BaseRef ( https://getbaseref.com ), a requirements/risk/test management and documentation SaaS tool focused on medical device startups. There are competitors in the …

I suppose. My original comment should have been “doesn’t teach you how to program.” It would be great to do it the normal way first, then point out that it’s impossible to do witho…

It’s funny, when I’ve seen this demonstrated, it’s basically literally impossible to get the right result because the test maker doesn’t define an instruction set that you can rely…

One of the best parties I’ve been to in my life was the reception after a funeral for my wife’s great-aunt. Generations of relatives and family friends, some of whom hadn’t seen ea…

I built a variant to very successfully estimate state of charge for a large battery pack in a production hybrid-electric vehicle. Often some tweaks from the standard formula are ne…

Wrightspeed did this a while (10 years?) ago. It looks like they have since pivoted to fully electric powertrains for buses, but when they first started they were doing range-exten…

Allspice - git platform for hardware engineers https://www.allspice.io/

I’m excited about Slint. It’s great to have a solid Qt alternative for embedded UIs. I doubt I will need to use it on a MCU rather than an embedded Linux processor, but even so, it…

Thanks, I’ll check them out

I’ve so far refused to get a Wi-Fi baby monitor because of all the horror stories I’ve heard of horrendous security practices. However, our current baby monitor just doesn’t have t…

The “Interrupt” blog by Memfault is another example. They are adored by embedded developers.

"How to See, How to Draw" by Claudia Nice is a good book for learning to draw in a self-guided way. Doesn't take much money -- $20 at any art supply store can get you a decent draw…

and Patrick, I can say that you were the first heavy influence on me that pushed me in the direction of solo entrepreneurship. From your writings and podcast I found Brennan Dunn, …

It’s funny, I actually find Babish quite educational because his videos are so tightly edited. Explains the techniques and recipe in seven minutes flat. My wife and I have made man…

I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Frankie Manning around 2004 or 2005 at the Atomic Ballroom in Orange County. He was an incredible teacher, and the ladies who got to …

If it’s 20 pages of useful information and insight that saves someone time, yes. Assuming that’s the case, s/he should charge more.

Given that this pandemic has killed millions, shut down the world economy, and caused untold long term damage to children due to lack of stable schooling: yes, it’s because the pre…

This is the guide, which you would normally visit from the homepage. The homepage gives a very clear description of what it is.

I remember the memfault blog post that introduced me to this package. Great find, and I’ve started doing the same on all my embedded dev projects. Thanks!

What is the deal with the commentators emphasizing when the players “fist pump” and pronouncing it strangely? Such a silly gimmick.

This is a neat idea. PSA currently shows a movement heat map over the course of each game but it isn’t interesting either - they are all just very similar looking blobs. I would lo…

Reuters is the best I’ve seen at “just the facts”. Very little sensationalism. I blocked CNN from my phone because checking it repeatedly all day gave me high blood pressure.

I can help you with the microcontroller and control algorithm side. It’s what I do. If you’re a software developer you can do it yourself with a small amount of guidance from someo…

Hmm, sounds like you might be automating tests on the target, scripted from the PC. There's a place for this, but I'd call that automated integration/system testing, not unit testi…

Test driven development for my embedded systems work. I’ll never go back.
