Just printed your doodles and put them on one of our whiteboards. Most of my fellow devs are from a 3D modeling and design background and have a hard time understanding anything mo…

Yeah, you become a better programmer. And if it is fun while you at it, it another win.

A lot of game developers have written a 'toy' game engine. A lot of embedded developers have written their own little OS. A lot of web developers have written a 'click this button …

Did you live like this for a period of more than 5 years? You just gave a snapshot from an ideal situation. Fact is, income is always less, spendings are always more. Don't know ab…

Good analysis. I'd like to add the cost of change. At some point you will move places or change jobs. You will have periods of less income and more spendings. This adds up. A few m…

People of all ages use VIM!

Come on, this is a very narrow view of things. There are a lot of people that can't just quit their job and start their own business, because well, they don't have any savings or a…

> and there is not a serious place on earth that would let me touch their codebase. If you have already a CS degree and you spend a couple months refreshing your memory, you would …

It should work on Kubuntu and X11, but I remember that the installation and configuration process (or at least the documentation) is a bit lacking. Make sure you also install the i…

Same for me. been using ibus-pinyin for a few years

> Anything below 60Hz in VR has a significantly increased chance of giving motion sickness due to latency. I think there is a subtle difference between fps (avg) and latency. I wou…

What about LC3? It was announced a year ago?

I just made hello world window in qt. It's 28 kB. edit: typo

Real question, what do some people mean with native C++? Or stuff like react native? Seems like it just equals more performance / peels away an abstract layer.

I know QT is dual licensed for application development. How's the licensing here?

Wouldn't that be startups? Maybe a hardware startup since you are a MechE.

"If you are worried about the money, just buy a house" Say this to a Chinese or European guy. You're very privileged lol

I started a new job before covid hit. Some other devs started to annoy me. Just those silly things many people have. Like sighing every other second and never ending chit chat. I m…

CircuitPython and MicroPython are great for hobbyists or if you need to prototype something quickly. It becomes very limiting for bigger embedded applications. Is the chip and are …

Of course, why go through the troubles of putting in the extra hours, if there is no financial compensation or appreciation? Personally, I would just optimize stuff or propose new …

So, let's say after COVID, people start getting back to their cubicles and continue to crank out office hours just as before. Except you, you continue working from home (after some…

They work like machines! It is hard to compete with them

There are a few FAANG-ish companies in my country that pay well. Besides those companies, it is really hard to get a good salary. Other companies top out at 60-80k EUR. And then yo…

As someone who's working in haptics, not in the adult industry, but in VR: What are most actuators like? Are they ERM's or LRA's or even VCA's? Your interface is pretty generic. Vi…
