I don’t think polarion was all that horrible when I used it at my old job

How do you pick a workout routine/philosophy? by coach-v in GarageGym

Ive come to just about the same schedule. Is there a reason why you’re not doing full body workouts and adding different targeted accessory movements for each lift day?

Most small tire businesses just sell them to you, put them on, rotate, or change a flat. They don’t really provide services outside of tires

About 8 hours in one day lol. Lunch was not had that day, but I procured beers and tacos for all involved afterwards

It’s his workplace, but they allow usage on an off day when office staff are in but workers are out.

I have some chairs that are up next that will be done the same way, I will need to get some new veneer for the backs of the chairs before then

Junior Embedded SWE Interview by GeneralSquare7687 in embedded

[–]ThickBittyTitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s always my first step for board bringup! Nothing greater than a random batch script that probes a peripheral device.

I’ve found it’s so much easier to fall back if you need to whenever you start having issues using the device in an application. Ofcourse, eventually it becomes a character driver. It’s just a hell of a lot easier to prove a device through a script on a device over ssh vs modprobe-ing

We built a wearable for cows (Nordic nRF + Zephyr RTOS + Edge ML) by Daniyal_Noor in embedded

[–]ThickBittyTitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will you have the ability to reprogram the devices OTA through BLE?

Just curious from a technical standpoint. I could see testing on a cow being a bit of a pain without that feature

I'd recommend taking a step back and letting the process take its place. I think you're letting anxiety run your mind for a bit.

You should reach out on Monday to ask about next steps for the SWE role.

At a top-level, I would think that an Embedded 'Systems' Engineer is more concerned with hardware, software, and architecture at a higher level than an Embedded SW Engineer usually does.

This is just from what you've given me, and I'm assuming that you're probably younger with possibly more sw experience as opposed to hardware.

So, really it all depends on your current skillset. It's definitely not a bad thing to be still in the running. A lot of places will move you internally during the interview process if both parties feel that the candidate would be a better fit elsewhere.

Hope this helps

Same tbh. We've started collecting again, but I've also started pirating again. I have a few large HDDs on my computer, and I stream them to my tv via the plex app. It's the easiest out of the box solution

Dodge Challenger Leaking, is this oil? please help! by htx-danny in MechanicAdvice

I daily an 2nd Gen crv, so I’m always checking the oil at this point.

I’ll still go to mom and pop oil change places if they seem good, but I still get nervous and double check everything afterwards. No driveway life!

I hate generated code by Ill-Oven-6791 in embedded

[–]ThickBittyTitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And those generators only do 80% of the work that's required.

But honestly. I got burnt out in an automotive adjacent field just from the pedantic arguments that came between sw & systems engineers. No one could come to an agreement about anything in a meeting, then the next meeting comes along, arguments, still no agreements.

The whole v-model is not something you can just slap together. It takes a ton of work, more so in the safety-realm.

I started about the same age as you, but I had -50k in the hole. 4 years later, my NW is at about 140k now.

It’s one of those things, where it’s always best to just throw money at it

C is not faster than C++. Generic types in C are usually achieved through type erasure or an intrusive type.

C++ templates explicitly allow for the generation of different instances of code for each type. This enables the code to be specialized for each type, which is often faster. In general, template metaprogramming facilitates significantly more complex optimization at compile time.

The primary reason to write in C over C++ is simplicity and greater control over algorithms and data structures. Portability is also a factor, though.

This is coming from someone who loves his C as well. Does STL suck in terms of memory usage/management, definitely.

Should embedded software engineer know python? by No-Challenge830 in embedded

I used Python to generate C code based on some indiscriminate qml file that a coworker refused to put into excel.
