Interesting but many issues which have been listed here are valid. This is my take on the largest of them. Preventive testing is not always positive. False negatives creates a fals…

And if one were to compare cost of a dev vs cost of an LLM, the dev comes with the cost of workspace, computers, sick pay, summer party, conferences and etc etc.

It is easy to say that we shouldn't limit what a person is allowed to do. That a person should be allowed to use their free will. That sounds nice because nobody want to be control…

I’ve looked at confidence outputs for the chosen words from several STT providers and it’s definitely so that low confidence indicate that there is a risk that it has misheard. Not…

I would differentiate between iterative development and incremental development. Incremental development is like panting a picture line by line like a printer where you add new pie…

Guy here with kids in Swedish school. In general I support the direction of learning basic analogue skills and detoxing from the constant dopamine hits of the digital world. BUT on…

I just tried out your app for the first time. First time trying to learn Spanish. I feel exactly like the user you describe but it is because I have to click Don’t remember for 70-…

How about in-app purchases and subscriptions? The code is already there. Is it abusive? Is it abusive because it is tied to hardware? No, I see it as the opposite. I see it as Volk…

I did some benchmarking on BlobFuse2 vs NFS vs azcopy on Azure for a CT imaging reconstruction a year back or so. As I remember it, it was not clear if Fuse (copy on demand) or azc…

This! When you are doing something simple (as in there are known best practices) you do want people to have the same formal education. They’ll talk the same language and everything…

I worked in the telecom business 15 years ago on 4G (LTE) and there it was considered a big savior compared to how it was done before. Basically before they had a lot of error hand…

I loved the books as a child and as a father I love reading them for my children. And they love them too. Some things have not aged well in them though. Thinking specifically aroun…

I think complexity frameworks (like Cynefin) describes it pretty good. When the complexity is low, there are best practices (use a specific gauge of wires in an electric installati…

The job for an embedded engineer can vary wildly and it gets hard to define what embedded software even is. I’ve worked on microcontrollers in elevators and battery management syst…

Sweden here also. Quite common with 25 days and paid overtime or 30 days with unpaid overtime. And then you have parental days which are 480 in total per child which can be used bo…

Does it really have to be a vehicle or just a Flipper Zero like box positioned at an intersection?

We’re using KEDA and ScaledJob to scale tomographic reconstructions in the cloud. When a CT scanner has finished uploading a scan, we let a ScaledJob create a Job to process the da…

One of my sons had a heart defect needing open heart surgery when he was 5 days old (it went fine!). In connection to that he was enrolled in a scientific study. Apparently when yo…

I think there are a few things to note to take the Eisenhower matrix from “oh, that’s a nice model” to really gain some serious value from it. First of all, you need to really work…

I’m highly safety critical systems you have software (and hardware) diversity were multiple pieces of software, developed independently, have to vote on the result. Maybe highly cr…

For customers like Ericsson it wouldn’t surprise me if they request special instructions and special hard function blocks. In telecom there are certain operations that’s specified …

Very much depends on what you are working on. What SaaS is ever stopped being developed and doesn’t need ownership after 2-3 years? Products with embedded software might ship in 2-…

Nope. This was all in house. But we are talking at home lifts for the rich and lazy (and sometimes elderly). And there was quite a bit of electronics in it with processors at each …

Regarding the problem of strings in embedded, I once did a pretty nifty thing in a logging framework I built for an embedded system in an elevator (Cortex M0 I think it was) with v…

Related, but not as fancily presented, the startup I’m at just scanned a coffee bean in our micro-CT that we developed. It’s especially good for low-Z (like carbon and silicon) bas…
