We did a lot of blind testing, but blind testing takes more effort and we were always swamped. Usually the engineers would just test things ourselves, and then I would give my boss…

At my last company, we tested tons of combinations of class D modules with various power supplies, and the best sounding results tended to be with linear power supplies. Don't get …

This youtube channel has (seemingly good quality) Khan Academy style lecture videos on control systems, if you just want a quick introduction to the concepts. https://www.youtube.c…

I suppose the implication is that the "you" in the title is your conscious experience and in reality, you are the sum of your conscious and unconscious processes with all of their …

Not sure if this one is going to be any easier, but I've been slowly going through Max Born's Atomic Physics after I picked up it used for really cheap. I like the way he goes thro…

I've had multiple bad experiences with Amazon Logistics. They routinely ship things 2-3 days late and update the tracking information with some nonsense about "attempting to delive…

What rankings have you been seeing? Javascript is on top of the list from what I've been seeing. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#technology

I've been planning a side project with a lot of those features. That's exactly how I think about my budgeting and that's exactly how I would like to allocate my money. I'm really n…

I think tvanantwerp's point wasn't that you shouldn't attempt to know yourself, but that you should try to do so in a way that doesn't ascribe labels arbitrarily, such as "morning …

Thanks for the advice. This is basically what I've been doing for the past year, every spare second I've had devoted to side projects. I don't think my expectations are too out of …

Not really. I'm in audio, so mostly analog with a bit of microcontroller experience.

I guess it might be easier at a bigger company like that, so I could focus more on those types of roles. Thanks for the ideas. Just have to keep at it I guess.

I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I'm just looking for some advice I guess. I'm currently an electronics engineer in NY and I've been trying to switch to something in software fo…

Since you mentioned Indeed, I thought I'd mention I had a similar sort of "resume black hole" experience. For a long time, I wasn't really thinking and just applied through those j…

As a candidate, I'm the most excited when there are short contract/work sample coding challenges that are problems directly related to the job I'm applying for, and I wish more com…

Musk's hype of AI is his response to reading Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence.

Personally, I'd rather have the people working on AI be the ones who are aware of the potential theoretical pitfalls, rather than someone who is not aware of any pitfalls and rushe…

Literally the only place I've been able to find that successfully keeps comments sections on topic.

There are some modified versions of CBT that some people use with more of a focus on mindfulness. There's one called DBT, dialectical behavior therapy. For me, this was like all th…

I think emptiness can serve as a sort of reference to keep things in perspective, but I'm just as unsure as you are how capable emptiness is as a philosophy. I think, mainly, it ca…

Pretty cool. I've experienced a similar type of synaesthesia but it was based on rhythmic patterns for me. For instance, I was listening to a song that was in 3/4 or 6/8 or somethi…
