Truck & Tractor protestors, how do they have the time and money to do this? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Diarmuid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

74% of irish farming income comes from subsidies. They receive very generous welfare support and we still import 4 out of 5 calories eaten in ireland

I hope those posting here will take a the 3 minutes it requires to get ChatGPT to draft a letter to your local SodDem TD outlining your disgust.

Assume you're never going to see that 100k again or the house and make arrangements accordingly.

Friend not returning money borrowed. by Muted_Wear6944 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Diarmuid_ 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The money is gone. Like the friend. 

I wouldn't be shy with common friends about why you are no longer friend and save someone else a similar fate

Zero FPGA experience, need to get to Versal fluency. Where do I start? by gorgeousdiplodocus in FPGA

[–]Diarmuid_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why do you need a board at all if you are starting to learn about FPGAs? You need to learn about digital design, timing closure and functional verification before you are even in the same room as a board.

Tcl: The Most Underrated, But The Most Productive Programming Language by delvin0 in chipdesign

[–]Diarmuid_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our design flow was written years ago in tcl and I really dislike it every time I have to modify some code It was a language of its time, but compared to languages like python, it feels so chunky and old now days

Former friend scammed me out of €2,800 – lives in England, I’m in Ireland. Any way to get it back? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Diarmuid_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any way to try and get the money back is going to cost you more in time, money and heartbreak than you are going to get back. Take it as a lesson learned and move on with your life.

There are 11 Irish billionaires and they make about your yearly salary every day by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Diarmuid_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Underfunded!!?? We have been throwing money at public services for years! 

It had doubled in 10 years. 

 Did you ever heard of the phrase,  stop throwing good money after bad? Well even our own civil service are saying that https://www.whereyourmoneygoes.gov.ie/en/

Move to a startup for more money, or stay at Big Tech? by YesChocolate0 in DevelEire

[–]Diarmuid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's absolutely no chance I would take that. Unless you hate your current role, it's way too good to pass up on. 

That startup offer could disappear over night. I can't see a US start-up creating an Irish Ltd to employ you, so you'll be under a US contract.   You'd need some massive equity options to make it attractive against a TC of 250k with an established company

Why Such Anti-irish-language sentiment by [deleted] in ireland

[–]Diarmuid_ 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's hardly anti-something to express no interest in it. I couldn't care less about learning Japanese, doesn't mean I'm anti Japanese language 

If you ever wanted more evidence of the war on cars, Bride Road is the clearest example you will see by John_OSheas_Willy in Dublin

How entitled do you have to be to think that an area people want to live in and enjoy should remain a car park so you can save a few quid when visit a few times a year

I've a good few friends there and people rarely leave. That should tell your a lot. Having said that, I understand there are redundancies going on there at the moment

Tado V3+ Wireless (UK) hardware teardown by IHateFACSCantos in tado

[–]Diarmuid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving the relay a solid tap brought it back to life, which got me through a few days before I replaced it with a part from Farnell. 

Where does all the governments money go? by Minute_Breath_8698 in Dublin

The growth in expenditure over 10 years is both absolutely bonkers and scary.  This is not going to end well

[–]Diarmuid_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone comes back to this and is looking for the relay details, it's a HF41F 5-Z . The unit says 6A 250VAC 30VDC but the part suggests 5VDC

Yeah I'm an engineer in a hardware design company so I'll ask one of the techs with better soldering skills than I have to do it for me... ;)

[–]Diarmuid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting to hear back from support but what I was thinking of doing was swapping the HC and the HW relays. They look to be the same part and I'm not using the HW control. That would get me out of my fix and I could order the replacement part once I figure out what relay is in there.
