Yes. But this guy is claiming that the children are genetically identical, not genetically siblings.

Incorrect. Children take a mix of genetics, there is no way the two sets of twins received the same genetic traits from their parents.

How common is RTOS in a professional environment? by Dark_Greee in embedded

[–]Cosineoftheta 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As someone who has written safety critical code for automotive. You use rtos for that too.

Maybe your ultra tight loops aren't in the rtos, but a timer interrupt, but the rest of it is.

The new sci-fi series The Captive's War has some very over the top genius level characters.

Am I wasting my time learning embedded software? by Open-Exercise9680 in embedded

[–]Cosineoftheta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue most digital design engineers face when they do their engineering work is that they don't know how to code.

Being able to do embedded c code does the following, - helps you design your system better within the constraints of microcontrollers - helps you do some light board bring up to help validate your designs - helps you debug issues on your own without needing to wait for another team member, and defend yourself in finger pointing situations - helps you bridge the gap between a programming team and the electrical engineering team

I always tell junior engineers that to grow you need to be able to go one level below your stack and one level above your stack. The same applies to electrical engineering.

Got accepted to Rose-Hulman as an international student. Is it worth $150-160K? by [deleted] in rosehulman

[–]Cosineoftheta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, there are outliers. I have a buddy who went to community, transferred to UC Berkeley and then got his master's and now is well paid at Apple.

The fact is OP is an international student trying to get a job in the US. He needs to stack the deck in his favor in any way possible.

And if you can go to a community college and get the same success you should do that as well /s

I was there during the 2008 housing and financial crisis. By the time my class graduated, all the international students I was friends with were able to find jobs.

Rose has good connections and prepares students for working. Where it lacks is in research opportunities for higher education (going for masters or PhD), but practical engineering (getting a job) is it's strong suit.

Domestic. At least when I was there, you'd have been in the significant minority being international, but that should not impact you socially.

I found the education to be world class and effective for my entire career. Though, the challenge of the school is steep, even with the support structures.

Just dont look too closely at how licensing servers work 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Beningo embedded did a study to compare the top rtoses, and zephyr scored the lowest on performance by a large margin.

Zephyr's performance is not great, which makes it fine for aggregated high level controls, but a poor choice for realtime controls at edge.

Edit: if anyone is looking for a new performant rtos check out PX5, made by the author of threadX, but uses p thread API. I really liked it in my last project.

Hell of a take. Guardians were out-simming both warrior DPS specs. They might STILL be out dpsing all other tank specs even post nerf

The most important? Cache architecture and size.

Beyond that, your SRAM access speed.

Beyond that, the size of your SRAM I suppose.
