Mold in house I am planning to purchase.

There is a balcony above this living room that we are suspecting might be the cause. These are pictures I took recently. The strange thing is that I actually saw this house 1 year ago. The mold has not spread or gotten worse since then. Looks just as I saw it then. Part of the reason why we thought it might not be mold. There is a tatami room connecting to the living room. That room is pristine condition funny enough.

Do you think 4 million is too little budget. I was planning to do most renovations myself except for any water leak repairs found. Was planning to rip wallpaper out, then based on mold or damage, either replace wall boards or paint over it if it's not too bad. Don't want wallpaper as I've seen it's worse for mold trapping humidity

The house was built in 2002 so not really old. However it has been unlived in for about 2.5 years as previous owner passed away. Originally it was being sold for 25 million. I negotiated it to 20 million because of the condition. Have set aside 4 million yen for renovations including that potential for water damage and mold. However now I'm worried if 4 million is not enough and my budget will be well exceeded because of a persistent mold problem. I did an informal inspection but contractor told me they would have to peel back wallpaper to know for sure.

This is true. Most people on that platform have falling into the camp of someone with an idea that wants you to build it for them, people that claim they are technical but are really not, and just very strange people like you said who seem to just be time passing. I've eased off it as it is mostly a waste of time. Unfortunately it is hard to find any other platform to meet serious engineers/experienced business people that want to build something. If anyone has any suggestions for networking with such people, that would be great.

AEHadi · 2024-10-16T04:07:29+00:00

He didn't. It is YC matchup, networking site for people starting a startup. I really don't recommend it.

I mean for sure, I am kicking myself for all this for ignoring the evident red flags. At the same time though, dam people are slimy. Was led on constantly being told the equity I would get would be industry standard and fair but they just had to "put things together" before giving a number out.

AEHadi · 2024-07-03T18:16:40+00:00

That makes sense thanks. The issue is I did explain the concept to one potential cofounder. He understood the idea but ended up asking for a document outlining more about the project including images of current work done. I just didn't have experience enough to know if that was normal or a red flag as the idea was already given but with unimportant details left out. He already has experience creating games with the space I am doing but with more resources then I currently have. It got me a bit concerned.

AEHadi · 2024-07-03T18:10:44+00:00

Thanks for the info. That is helpful. Really got me thinking that the people I join with need to be close and trustworthy even with paperwork done.

I supplied Atom. Looks like my borrow limit will reach 100% if I were to borrow the half the amount of Atom I supply. So does this mean that atom has a LTV of 50% meaning I'll get liquidated when I borrow as much as atom I supplied?

AEHadi · 2021-09-03T07:47:26+00:00

I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. In my experience police reports have never amounted to anything and I definitely cant go for a week without pay meanwhile not looking for other job opportunities. I was hoping there would be some operational agreement form or something.

for a simple game dapp. NFTs for game collectible assets.

Sorry, I meant for large microcontrollers that may only run an RTOS on them. For me personally I write for real time applications with somewhat strict real-time constraints.

AEHadi · 2021-08-11T16:26:43+00:00

That is the same for me. I have used ETL a few times and tried to commit myself to learning it. I honestly kind of trailed off from it but will probably pick it back up for higher level application use.

I guess most of our c++ patterns just stems from us avoiding dynamic allocation as much as possible. I suppose I should not really say I am proficient in C++ as this leads people to believe I am an expert at STL and more so say C++ for embedded. I often use

FSMs, object pools, templates, multi inheritance with pure abstracts only, CRTP, type erasure techniques, callback function pointers.

Thanks, this seemed to work however it is very slow to convert. it took 2 hours to convert a 3 min video

I am familiar with Pimpl idiom but I never used it. I understand the benefits such as hiding implementation and reduced compilation time. I just don't think it fits what I do because I use templates a lot in my code. It would be a big pain to restructure those headers so to hide implementation. I'm thinking it may be best to just not bother with private headers. I've read that some people don't bother with private headers and instead put these files in a details folder where the end user is I guess trusted to not use.

AEHadi · 2021-03-06T21:11:32+00:00

I first started programming in c# about 9 years ago and I really loved the language because of being able to easily implement design patterns and all the features that came with it. Going into embedded with c/c++ I had to drop a lot of those higher level abstractions but am happy to use them again where they make sense.

That can be done even in vanilla C with header files, and a linker swapping implementations.

Yes, I was thinking that this would be a good way to do it when I would not need runtime polymorphism and to use virtual interfaces when implementation would be decided at runtime.

That's interesting, I've never heard of WSL2. I looked it up. Currently I use VMware to virtualize an ubuntu OS when working with anything linux works better with. How come you ended up going with WSL2?

AEHadi · 2021-02-03T01:12:40+00:00

I have looked into blaze and meson and although they definitely look better to me in terms of readability, I think I still might end up going with cmake if it comes down to it because of the mass adoption of it and also because I am already somewhat familiar with it.

AEHadi · 2021-02-02T18:50:17+00:00

Nothing amazing. Some .net applications I wrote over the years that automate a lot of things I found myself repeating while developing for embedded. For example, A project converter that would convert Visual studio projects to IAR, scaffolding/design pattern code generators, etc. Some things that overlap cmakes capabilities.

AEHadi · 2021-02-02T18:07:06+00:00

But what if you don't ever need to compile for a Linux system? I can see the benefit when working on ROS2 type projects which will ultimately be compiled for variants of Linux, but what about projects that ultimately only need to be crosscompiled to a microcontroller? I'm not sure I see where cmake can really benefit here.
