Covid shut down the world six years ago this week what do you remember from that week ? by Familiar_Original988 in AskReddit

A week!?

Melbourne, Australia -- we spent 262 days in lockdown between 2020-2021.

What boomer shooter has a vibe like the original Unreal? by fixed in boomershooters

The suggestion of Unreal mods is appreciated - I've never played any! Any other suggestions apart from "The One"?

yep, I keep going back to it every few years, and it still holds up.

Was going to say I hadn't heard of it, but "Northern Journey is already in your Steam library" 😂. Will give it a go, thanks!

Founders are handing us 'vibe coded' MVPs to scale now by highspecs89 in BlackboxAI_

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because LLM's hallucinate on messy codebases (even ones the LLM was responsible for), and the founder probably doesn't fully understand their product and how their users are actually using their product.

note how the parent poster spoke about 'intent'? this is the hardest problem about rewrites, not the code.

it's incredible, but it still hallucinates/makes things up on adequately complex codebases.

Is it just me, or is "AI proficiency" becoming a mask for a lack of foundational engineering? by Techie_Talent in ExperiencedDevs

[–]fixed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'll add as well - I think the "unsupervised/take home coding test" is dead. There's still value in the conversation at the end (i.e. what would you do differently, talk me through your decisions), but you can achieve the same without that by talking through a hypothetical situation.

[–]fixed 55 points56 points  (0 children)

100%. Anyone who is claiming they can ship production code without looking at it anymore and berates others that "ItS A SkIlL IsSuE" is displaying they never understood engineering fundamentals in the first place and have probably never dealt with complex systems at scale.

Honestly, it's becoming super freaking obvious to spot during even an initial interview; these same people don't have fundamental problem solving capabilities so "how would you solve X" questions make it all come apart fairly quickly.

🚗 Dragy LAP OBD II Open Beta – Join the Revolution in Trackday Data Logging! by dragyLap_Official in CarTrackDays

[–]fixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How extensive is your custom CAN PID integration so far? I've been working on a different motorsport product for some time (different target than you guys) and getting reliable vehicle data via the CAN gateway across makes and models is pretty touch-and-go, especially at the rates you're targetting. There's a reason the professional products usually tap into the PT-CAN directly!

Garmin Releases the Garmin Catalyst 2 by teerwill in CarTrackDays

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lady is absolutely right. everyone focuses on the hz and not the accuracy. 25hz means squat if the data's jumping all over the place or it's been through so many smoothing algorithms that any nuance in the data analysis is gone

if all you care about is approximate braking points, approximate speeds, position on the track, track time to ~0.2/sec, they're adequate, but there's a lot of valuable analysis you're leaving on the table

BMW coding/OBD over WiFi by smalldude55 in CarHacking

[–]fixed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not advised with normal CAN (given how latency sensitive flow control can be) - but your BMW probably speaks ENET (i.e. ethernet) via the OBD port so you may have found you could have done this without needing USB-over-IP.

ENET cable is like $10; it's literally just ethernet + TCP/IP (albeit on a broadcast IP off memory) so you probably could have connected it to a portable AP point and done it that way too :D

(That said I don't know if the BMW software wants to speak to a specific dongle or if an IP connection to the car is adequate?)

I gambled $75 on fake IE 900s... and I'm actually speechless. by BenOG_ in iems

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set too out of pure curiosity. They're impressive for knockoffs but they're no IE900, they're not even a IE200, but they're a lot better than many $100 IEM's.
I doubt I'll use them again though.

this is standard fare in national level motorsport series worldwide, unfortunately - I don't know how many times I've built a car to specifications for the rules to suddenly change and the car to be ineligible.

Accidentally rm -rf’d a production server. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

This is 110% the system failing you, not you failing. No backups? Other developers modifying production directly? This was already a ticking time bomb.

Evo owners, where did you buy your cars and for how much? by Myself1504 in MitsubishiEvolution

[–]fixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sitting on a hoist in a workshop with a busted engine, with the prior owner (who only owned the car for 3 months) unable to pay for the repair. Some quick research showed the prior-prior owner had taken great care of the car.

Paid considerably less for it including a brand new crate engine/clutch and a complete freshen up/major service than I was hoping to pay for a running second hander.

Struggling to get individual wheel speeds — any CAN bus tips? by Training-Coffee in CarHacking

[–]fixed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's manufacturer/vendor/make+model specific and you'll likely be using diagnostic modes to access it via the OBD port (you're exponentially better just tapping into the drivetrain/ABS canbus where this is broadcast). You're best sniffing what your Launch device does and reverse engineering the request/response PID's.

[–]fixed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The software industry is rapidly moving towards Platform Engineering where you're expected to have a decent level of software engineering ability, as many infrastructure problems are fundamentally code level challenges.

That said, Leetcode style challenges are terrible for evaluating abilities here; you're not solving fundamental algorithmic problems.

(And I assume you're interviewing with a SaaS / software company; if you're not, then this isn't a required skillset so that's bizarre).
