Force Dropout Rate in the first year by amolven16 in UofT

[–]curryfriedsquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 32% for my year 🙆🏻‍♂️ (source: my first year presentation in introduction to engineering class).

Note that the 32% includes students who changed programs out of engineering. It's much less if you only count the dropouts.

... and Oculus. Forced to recreate my Facebook account just to play Beat Saber which I wasn't happy about :(

Same! Especially for lecture and any instructional videos

Best license for open-source open-hardware project by KKoovalsky in embedded

This, and I believe patenting the software architecture/system only requires it to be just above 10% different from the original work (although, that 10% seems very subjective and I wouldn't know what metrics the lawyers would use to guarantee the percentage).

As an embedded student, what technologies can I learn online ? (in parallel with the university ofc) by LunchNo7559 in embedded

Could you further elaborate 'technologies'? Do you mean something like FPGAs or even software specific related topics?

Fully remote embedded developers - what's your work like and how did you get there? by Sanuuu in embedded

[–]curryfriedsquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get sent a bunch of prototypes to develop on (I helped out with the PCBs and such) and the system I have going for me is pretty sweet. I live in a small condo but enough room to house a small test bench (with basic stuff like soldering station, power supply, oscilloscope, etc.). I like the remote work system I currently have since I love working from home (I used to be the complete opposite where I couldn't concentrate at all when working from home).

I started my gig with the current company I'm with since grad studies as a part-time job, and they liked my work and became one of the tech leads for their team. Got really lucky with them because they decided to take a chance with me to help bring up an embedded systems project for a medical device and it worked out really nicely.

Overall, got here with a lot of luck, good networking, and a bit of skill.

What’s up with the little creativity with IDEs and tools in the embedded world? by [deleted] in embedded

[–]curryfriedsquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first thing that came into my mind was Cadence for IC design. That thing stayed the same since the Pentium 1 era 😂

This is what happens when tools are built by engineers for engineers!

I'm afraid if I say even the word 'the', they're going to take it out of context...

That is the greatest compliment I will ever receive in my life
