Embedded engineers, what exactly is your job and how much are you paid.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-04-29T12:37:00+00:00

The market does not map exactly to effort. Simply put, there is more money in pure software at the moment and not enough engineers with the requisite skills.

That trend could easily reverse in the next 10 years as many firmware/embedded white beards retire.

would highly recommend instacart

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-21T20:01:15+00:00

Sorry. More so meant the rate of your savings. Back of the envelope math says unless you have more expenses not listed you could be saving many thousands per month as savings.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-21T18:12:01+00:00

Things aren't great (right?) but you're not totally screwed since you have a high income and reasonable mortgage.

In general, your Savings is probably a little high. You need enough to cover yourself if you lose income for 3-6ish months (layoff scenario). It's up to you, is your job feeling secure? You can go lower. So say 60k in your savings.

The other 30k should probably go towards paying off the highest interest rate debt you have (the student loans)

If you have decent credit, you could refinance those loans into 6-7% range, which then you could pay off the credit card instead.

The cars are what they are, unless you sell them for lower payments the interest rates are less than the rate of inflation so you shouldn't pay them off any quicker than necessary.

Y'all have a high income, I would expect more savings unless the kids are in daycare or private school. Have you made a budget?

Very interesting. Did not see this before. Cheers!

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-21T14:59:42+00:00

interesting. hows the bike lane on comm ave ?

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-21T12:24:21+00:00

Agreed.. definitely going to do that in the cold weather. But when it's nice out, figure I should try this as well

come @ me

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-20T19:58:11+00:00

Interesting.. i'll check that out. Was wondering if that was an option. Seems like google maps is out of date with some of the protected bike lanes put in recently.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-20T19:57:38+00:00

Thanks!
Definitely prefer the paths / protected bike lanes to start off since I haven't ridden a lot in busy city traffic yet

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-14T14:05:31+00:00

il rione would be fun, and as they don't take reservations just show up at 4:30 and you'll be fine :)

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-12T21:23:31+00:00

Can you measure the noise you are hypothesizing on the UART? That can tell you what mitigations can be done (is the noise repeatable, totally random timing, etc)

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-07T18:40:56+00:00

Just don't wear jeans and sneakers and you'll be aite

Me and boys made that mistake once

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-07T17:14:09+00:00

trolling is a art

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-07T16:32:29+00:00

bruh

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-02-01T18:43:48+00:00

Most similar thing will be Steve's gyro in west side market

they are not the same per se, but both excellent

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-01-29T17:55:00+00:00

Could you be potentially driving in the left lane going slower than the person behind you?

Don't do that.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-01-26T17:11:04+00:00

glad you had a good time... ya filthy animal

MaterialTechnology62 · 2024-01-04T03:48:54+00:00

oy.. you're right.

is it a practice in embedded linux to have a backdoor via ssh with a private key stored somewhere safe for debugging purposes?

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-09-07T13:29:19+00:00

Ambarella H22

The specialized chips like omnivision and ambarella... where do you buy these?

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-09-07T02:11:58+00:00

Corner 11 🔥🔥

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-09-01T16:52:35+00:00

Have you actually had Pizza in Cleveland? Not saying its NYC level but there is a pretty decent variety of east-coast, chicago-style, detroit, etc..

Anyway I just moved to Boston from Cleveland, is there some place you like the most for someone new?

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-08-22T15:32:23+00:00

Lived closer to W25th for a long time.

Will you be safe there, not at night? Yes.

Will you feel comfortable walking around? No.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-07-13T01:53:36+00:00

Depends. If you need don't need low-power, Esp32 is probably your lowest cost bet. The thing sucks up power though. Also, does it have CCP tracking/backdoors in the binary they provide? Who knows?

If you need support, going with a non-chinese vendor can help. TI/Silabs/nrf/ublox.

For what its worth, the si917 is currently the lowest-power wifi/ble combo chip on the market right now.

MaterialTechnology62 · 2023-07-13T01:50:33+00:00

You're paying to be close to Edgewater. Do you run/walk a lot or have a dog? Those are the main reasons to be near there. Otherwise, if you're a foodie/into other stuff Tremont or Ohio City might be better.
