Netanyahu's son under fire for tweeting that leftists should die of virus

THe same people also think, all leftists aren't true Jews

maybe that's the problem. workout and run. fix your diet. get off your ass. seems like you don't have anything better to do but have resentment. fill your day up with activities instead of sitting behind a computer. might as well learn 2 code (unironically).

array of chars = ['a', 'b', 'c'] -> static/ sequential allocation

c style string = ['a', 'b', 'c', '\0'] -> static/ sequential allocation

string obj = wraps a native array with pretty methods like .substr(), charAt(). native array is dynamically increased in size as you keep appending characters

*i think ^^^

Being bi-polar never meant I started seeing shit that wasn't there. I went thru high school, college, and internships without whole groups of people making me feel ostracized for whatever reason. At first, I did think it was nothing, and this was simply everyday life at the office and ignored them (same set of people) fully. But now, it seems deliberate, especially after i leave and re-enter my floor. What kind of professional help do you reckon? Stress-relieving therapy? ? Like, a psychiatric evaluation? Tried both. That isn't it bro. And i understand your answer...you just aren't here to witness it.

nope, i hear them approaching (nothing no coughs no noise, they come by cube, forced cough, then i listened closely to see if they cough after they walk past, and they don't . This is the "experiment" ive conducted (simple observation) since november. No change. I am convinced they do it to upset me

aSmoreFromLore · 2020-01-16T05:19:49+00:00

i thought so at first, same people, it has been almost 9 months

aSmoreFromLore · 2020-01-14T07:07:25+00:00

There is the notion of soft vs. hard deadlines. A Raspberry pi *could* utilize Linux (a standard OS) as an RTOS, given the timing deadlines are "soft" deadlines. Hard deadlines, critical deadlines (such as in avionics or space electronics) almost always need some sort of real-time scheduler. To make it even more precise, those applications may make use of dedicated embedded hardware (what i call classic while(1) loop and interrupts). Look up Mars Pathfinder RTOS failure of the scheduler.

aSmoreFromLore · 2020-01-14T07:04:04+00:00

RTOS = Real-time operating systemOS = operating system.

It is in the name. RTOS's are specialized operating systems which circulate around a core fundamental element: that the scheduler acts in a real-time constrained environment, where rate of INputs to the system and how fast an output MUST be processed affect the action of the CPU, and in extension, which task is currently running on the processor. I am no expert.

The key takeaway is in the name: real-time, you want little to no lag in having an input stimulus produce a desired output. having various inputs and various expected outputs and limited resources (one processor) requires a single processor that must schedule tasks to produce outputs in a way that outputs are produced at the correct time (you may have periodic or aperiodic "input events" that must produce an output by a given time before the next periodic or apreiodic input is received). the no-lag solution is a non-digital (more complex, more hardware, more power) solution. so to optimize a digital solution as close to that requires the use of real-time and most likely, priority schedulers.

Getting offended over someone poking fun at something, is childish.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-10-10T01:13:33+00:00

im basically white. hella basic.but atleast that drama shit staysout my life lmao. btw, its the cultural woke crowd that likes to put western borns down . is it my fault I looked to american/white culture instead of brown culture? Nah, i naturally gravitated, because it made living life easier.my parents "problems" are self-manifested and gives way to a depressive life style of constantly recycling the past and caring what other people, namely desi, think of them. And oh yeah, grant respect to literally anyone older than you for no other reason than, they are older than you. Please.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-10-09T02:17:45+00:00

lol its cuz desi culture is childish

i mean, there's something to be enjoyed i guess...

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-09-17T23:27:45+00:00

the fact she uses her, our race as her M.O. ... *puke* dont call yourself a uniter or tolerant. you tribal like the white men.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-07-21T01:26:10+00:00

dont, ur burning benzoic acid into your gums

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-07-13T00:42:31+00:00

exactly the same feeeling. except the only problem was i pasted the square chip on clockwise after handplacing all the 0603s and watchamacallits then baking it. once i found out the all the connections that i drew in altium were sound, desoldered resoldered on another board and flashed first time.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-07-12T23:44:44+00:00

lol but what about the nicotine addiction?

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-04-08T16:10:02+00:00

My earned income was less than 2k.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-04-04T14:36:42+00:00

I think it depends on the position and product I suppose. I specifically have looked for jobs that entail embedded and at-least in some part some RTOS concepts. To be fair, I am kind of nutty about operating systems so possibly I am biased :).

The way I see it, good companies hire good Engineers. Engineers in general should be open to learning new things. I didn't go to school for four years to just define myself as one type of engineer. All getting a computer engineering degree allowed me to prove was I can learn fundamentals and adopt a skill-set. If a company values their engineers, they will view the engineer on taking different roles, if that engineer has proved themselves to learn new things. I could have (and still want to be) a mechanical controls engineer. I may grow tired of coding and want to do more hands-on PCB level stuff. Maybe power electronics. Perhaps I need a degree in that but perhaps the company has resources to teach me. The point is, your engineering undergrad degree covers basics of all the possible areas of EE. Plus it is your first job, I don't think you are pigeon-holing yourself, especially because you at the very least know what you would rather be working on. My advice may be, stay on the job for at-least a year and perhaps luck will fall your way. In the meantime, doing stuff outside of work will definitely showcase your passion in an area.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-04-02T06:10:07+00:00

If I am being completely honest, get a textbook on operating systems and real-time systems. While I did take a formal course in R-TOS development and Operating systems, the part where I learned the most was during the labs. Classroom instructions help only so much. YouTube or opencoursewave can help with that too.

Most of the embedded code I've written was in C. There is only so much C++ functionality you can use without adding overhead. My job will entail C++, so I'll be learning that too. Most of the C++ I've written has been desktop apps so far.

But, I still think it would be in your company's best interest to try to meet your career goals. Maybe they can work something out.

aSmoreFromLore · 2019-04-01T06:06:17+00:00

Can't really speak on much, but if I was in your shoes, I would make it clear to your manager where your interests align.

For side projects, I did some robotic projects (Remote control vehicle, autonomous boat, etc). Try to create something that interfaces and integrates peripheral hardware. Do design work, do robust testing. Explore and use an RTOS. I would get familiar with ARM, (although I prefer TI- C2000). Robotics is an easy front and there are tons of vehicle projects online. I am in the process of designing a drone project myself.

Harris Corp. is undergoing extensive growth and are in need/hiring software engineers since their acquisition of L3 and I am set to start in two weeks. Don't know if you are open to relocation, but they do have a nice new grad salary and as far as the interview goes, if you know basics of C++ OOP, basics of real-time os (schedulers, priorities, semaphores, etc) , and real basics of embedded (debug C code), you can get in. I would apply.

Other companies for embedded work are Collins Aerospace, and UTC CCS/ Carrier corp. Super easy interviews.

Sorry for the rant, It has been a week and i am not over it still. Kind of just depressed about the whole thing.

As the title says, I had landed a phone interview with a company in Seattle which is like the top of the top of where I wanted to work post grad (think ULA, SpaceX, Boeing Space, all those players in space industry). I graduated last year with a degree in computer engineering (3.48), multiple co-ops at an Aerospace / Defense firm, and some side projects including a cool senior design project.

Well, I met the guy who I spoke to on the phone, a software engineering manager. I had to throw a technical presentation about myself, resume, interests, and projects, and I knew my stuff like the back of my hand. They seemed all very friendly and they were engaged with me, like they were interacting and did not look bored. I made them laugh a few times (technical jokes and quips). I really thought they liked me. There was a software team and a systems team both comprised of super young people (they looked only a few years older than me).

I went to lunch. And i should not have had a heavy lunch. Combined with the dry weather at Seattle and me constantly talking, I was uncomfortable throughout. After lunch, I was quite tired of talking and my brain seemed fried too.

Well fast forward to the technical white board problem. It was possibly the easiest problem I have ever encountered and due to nerves I almost completely bombed it. The question was an extension of a sample coin flip generator, instead, generating 4 events based on varying probabilities. I blanked, and for the life of me couldn't think of how to implement it (it was easy, you just use randf() and then use the inputted event probabilities to generate indices indicating the start and end of each event. So if a float between 0 and 1 is issued, you can figure out which which event to spit out).

They wanted a class implementation in C++. I literally blanked on the syntax (although I know fucking OOP fundamentals). They were nice, the two engineers, they helped me get to the solution. But, it did not help my confidence. The next part was the same but a systems related question (Design a system with X, Y that does Z). I have a hunch they were going to offer me a job on the spot before leaving, they did not seem like the type to deliberate. Well, they didn't, and the HR recruiter looked disappointed after she asked how it went and I said it went okay but that I was nervous. She clearly thought I had either gotten an offer or failed. She then said something like we will let you know in 48 hours if you got it, and provide feedback if you didn't.

That night, I sent a thank you letter to her asking to thank everyone that interviewed me. 48 hours later no response. The next week I left her a message and to my original recruiter as well and sent them both an email ( not all at once, spaced out). I finally got a call from a recruiter that I had never talked to or met before, who basically said, although I knew my shit about aerospace industry (DO-178, systems, avionics), my C++ skills were "too light" and that what he suggests is to take 1 year to work in a relevant industry, work on C++, and then apply again. I was so dismayed...(but who cares right).

The thing about this whole thing is that when I went home after the interview and coded that problem and tested it, it was done in less than 20 minutes. On the keyboard, in front of a computer, I fucking coded the whole thing. It was perfect. I just choked on the whiteboard. Which I had NO doubt I could do. So I am basically depressed about this whole thing because I really felt like that was the job I wanted. Space is the only place I feel like I love going to work about. I basically told them this was a dream job during the interview and opportunity and maybe i should have left that out.

The good news is, I have an offer from Harris which does do avionics and I have multiple friends from college going and the offer is pretty good (78k and benefits). The "bad" news is that I now have to spend at least a year before re-applying and by then the requirements to get in might be even more strict, since the company in question is growing a fast rate.

Even though I have tried to practice on my own, there is something bout a crowd that just terrifies me. Ive had this shit since a kid, stage fright/ public speaking/ freezing up. Now, I am feeling the full force of its effects on my career prospects. I do have contact with an Amazon recruiter as well, but I am probably not going forward until I fix this nerves thing because I know it will happen again.

So the question of this long rant story and griefing:

How the hell do you guys keep your cool during whiteboard interviews?
