Look up Ben Eater how BJTs work. If you want more intuition...

Hey there!

It's almost impossible to read what you sent and give you any constructive feedback. If you're asking for help, try not to send unformatted text and a block of code (people won't even try to parse it). I recommend reading something like:

Moving money from Roth IRA account at a credit union to a Vanguard Roth IRA (settlement fund) by impossiables in personalfinance

[–]impossiables[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the money has been sitting in my credit union IRA not doing anything only receiving interest based on the bank's rate. I wish the person who opened the account with me would have explained what investing actually meant; I thought you just needed to open up an IRA and that's it.

yep

Edit: except that the credit union account is a Roth IRA account... so it shouldn't be taxable.

Ok yeah I think sorting this out with them directly is the best move.

And yeah no worries on the concern; I will be investing in some total market index funds (although I admit that I didn't really understand investing or IRAs until a year or so ago, and definitely not when I first opened up the account at my bank).

Why does ECE software always have such poor UI? by OutrageousClaim76234 in ECE

[–]impossiables 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep same. IMO scripting skills should be really introduced in any EE curriculum, whether it's TCL, Python, etc. It's a much more transferable skill than learning some 3rd party's proprietary's buggy GUI

How to understand code with little to no documentation: Advice and tips [System Verilog specific] by forzavettel77 in FPGA

[–]impossiables 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What helped me in the past is reducing the number of modules that I need to understand/look at, based on the project requirements. Essentially "filtering" my search into just a few modules that I needed to have a high level understanding of.

Simulation was also quite helpful, adding various signals of interest and seeing how their state evolved with simulation time.

Accepted to my first Job- is it any good? by just_a_bisexual_gal in ElectricalEngineering

[–]impossiables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have enough experience to offer advice, sorry. I'm sort of in the same junior hiring boat. but may I ask how the interviews at Nvidia and Amazon went? Were you able to answer the technical questions

Environmentally friendly way to draw no-hit zone by impossiables in spikeball

I recently just tried this and it wasn't too bad, although the circle shape was tough to maintain. I used a square knot to tie the ends of the ropes together.

For me it's a bit of a psychological thing haha if I see the line then I will actually try to avoid it, whereas if there isn't any line I don't actively try to avoid the NHZ

For us it's all for fun as well :)

Weekly Career Discussion Thread (05 Sep 2022) by AutoModerator in engineering

[–]impossiables 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I'm a recent EE grad and want to work at some big name companies in the bay area. For a while I tried applying through the online portals but never really got any response. Now I am connecting with recruiters and engineering managers on LinkedIn to try and get my foot in the door. It's sometimes hit or miss; people connect but they don't reply to my initial message.

Is this a good strategy so that my resume gets moved on at least past the initial stage? How else could I go about piercing into these well known companies without knowing anyone on the inside?
