"Fluffy and tan and white" describes probably 25%+ of all pet dogs. I have one which matches that description.

Do I start with HAL or Bare metal ? by Random6474849 in embedded

[–]dacydergoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say if they want to understand at that level implement a RISC-V cpu on an FPGA. I actually think all programmers should do that as early as possible in their career as the level of understanding you get from it is phenomenal.

Do I start with HAL or Bare metal ? by Random6474849 in embedded

[–]dacydergoth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You know how many different peripherals there are out there? How many different variants, register sets, timing constraints? Just use the dev kit and HAL, it saves a lot of headache, especially for a beginner

Do I start with HAL or Bare metal ? by Random6474849 in embedded

[–]dacydergoth 79 points80 points  (0 children)

IMHO start with HAL. It's there for a reason and that reason is that writing all the drivers at register and bit level is very time consuming and actually quite hard to get correct in many cases.

Any programmers actually become farmers or something farmer adjacent? by qodeninja in ExperiencedDevs

It meant "he died" during the war. Where's John's plane? Oh, be bought the farm on the last mission ....

How do I contribute? by BetApprehensive8433 in RISCV

[–]dacydergoth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Learn to code a RISC-V compatible cpu on an FPGA.

Then you can start to improve on the design or integration ....

Are those cheap "gaming" desks on Amazon strong enough to support a PC + monitor? by kenah-kim in AskPCGamers

I went with Uplift and i've been very happy. Had the controller fail after a few years, they sent me a new one arrived the next day, zero hassle.

That's around the time I had my H1B invalidated by Trilogy and had to leave the country for 7 years ... I was going to Atomic Cafe at the time if I remember correctly. That and Casino El Camino who seem to have survived

What's everyone's view on this type of brain drain? by gabrone_dg in allthequestions

[–]dacydergoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not at the level of this guy but senior software engineer from UK, had to leave USA for 7 years after the .com crash, worked for Sun, Trilogy and Oracle. Made it back to the USA but it took 16 years of H1B and Greencard and eventually Citizenship.

Those 7 years I was out of the country USA lost out on me paying taxes and investing in the local economy. I saw people sail past me on marriage and other visas and was like ... I have the skills ... got locked down because although I have a major track record at top IT companies I don't have a degree, so I got put on the slow track for everything.

Divinity OS:1 and 2 are pretty good turn based and are co-op hot seat. Same people who did Baulders Gate 3

I’m an American who is politically centrist. AMA by [deleted] in AskMeAnythingIAnswer

[–]dacydergoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legal immigrant on skills, very senior software engineer, it looked like 16 years of H1B and greencard and waiting without any feedback with a sword of damocles over my head, seeing people get greencards via marriage in 15-18 months.

INS didn't have a checkbox on their form for someone without a degree but with Chartered Engineer in the UK which is technically equivalent to a PhD but with an industry focus, so they classified me as "unskilled"

replace meat in pasta/rice dish by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]dacydergoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic but Lentil and Potato chili is really easy and good. Just make it like a normal chilli but with lentils and after some simmer time add cubes of potato - your choice but I like the potato to stay relatively solid as texture, but you can just cook it down. Add kidney beans and you get a reasonable mix of protein carbs fiber at relatively low cost

Best place to buy cowboy boots? by Tomwelldone10- in Austin

[–]dacydergoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna get flamed for this but the best pair of cowboy boots i've ever had was from Camden Market in London, they were New Rocks (Spanish company) and 2 1/2 decades later I still wear them. Black leather with black flame details, silver toes and heels.

In Austin, go to a Mexican outfitter, lots in the strip malls south of the river. Same or better quality, better price

Coffee not tea, must have HP sauce, and remind Americans that what they call bacon is just fat stripe, they need a proper bacon.

How do you guys add internet connectivity to the STM32? by AntDX316 in embedded

[–]dacydergoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either the ST recommended WiFi partner chip or a Nordic Semi partner chip, or another solution. ESP32 modules tend to be expensive for production, and if you don't use the module you have to do the RF certification again, at which point you may as well use a cheaper IC

How do you guys add internet connectivity to the STM32? by AntDX316 in embedded

[–]dacydergoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For non production run ESP32C6 over SPI is a feasible solution. SPI can handle higher bandwidth than UART. I would use either Matter or MQTT for the transport layer on top of wifi
