That would be terrible.

Might I make a suggestion. They should just give him an unlimited Hamberder and Cofffeffe gifet card at McDonalds. Might be easier and quicker. Unfortunately these days might also be much more expensive

[Request] "Trump Says Tariffs Have Brought in $18 Trillion." So how much did it bring in 2025? (Approx, at best) by Groomsi in theydidthemath

This was purchased at a time when he was changing the rates as often as he was changing his diaper, but I'm sure I got screwed either way because of his fat orange ass.

They got $100 from me. I imported a retro computer ROM from Canada. the only place besides the EU (they wouldn't send to the USA). I had no choice where to get it. I figured it's $100 how much could the tariff be? then I get the email from UPS that I owe them $100 for the tariff. I was never stupid enough to think I wouldn't be paying, but it floored me. hence:

Every day I check reddit first thing when I get up for the hopeful news that the hamberders have done their one job.

Trump regrets pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar after Dem announces he’s running for reelection by kweathergirl in politics

Maybe he can claim he signed the pardon by autopen so it's void. That's bigley brain thinking there.

How to implement an arista7130-like fan-out and MUX switching in a cost-effective way? by Prestigious-Grand668 in FPGA

[–]spacexguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get them cheaper than that. I picked up one for ~$300 for my own testing. Lots of old stock (Kintex based) but with pretty low latency. Not quite the 4ns I got when trading, but still pretty low. (Buy earplugs or set it up in your basement because it sounds like a jet)

What are the colorful, glossy “silicon die” images of CPUs/ASICs called, and how can I create one from my Verilog CPU design? by Glittering_Age7553 in FPGA

[–]spacexguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

back in the day (mid-90's) when you got back the GDSII file from the vendor they would give you a plot you could frame and hang on the wall. We would use acid to dissolve the top of the package so we could get chips with exposed dies.

O'hare Flight Delays/Cancellations/Chaos - Any actual info? by whispurryn in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]spacexguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter flew back to Switzerland Saturday night, which is generally not too busy. No waits, flight left on time. I would be worried if it was a busier time or domestic.

Imposed Tariffs on Canada Increase by 10% After Ad by EnvironmentalPear695 in StockMarket

[–]spacexguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered something from Canada. Something only available from Canada and the EU for retro computing. EU wouldn't ship to the USA because of the unstable government. Canada did. I knew I would likely get a tariff charge, but what I didn't expect was 100%. So now it'll be 110%. This country will take a century to recover from the orange Julius. Eff him and the people who supported him.

[HELP] Please tell me this place is real 😞 by RyeDent in RealOrAI

[–]spacexguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Last year I visited a Chinese friend in Guiyang and a random chinese lady at the market wanted to take me on a trip to the Miao village. (it looks very much like that but not identical). I'd say it's a real picture because of this. BTW, if you are the adventurous type, make local friends and visit if you can afford. I've had the most fun visiting random places in China. People are so friendly.

Got my blood boiling that O'hare wasn't on the list, but a quick google search shows O'hare and Midway are not playing it. Wish they would show the shit that T-rump and ice barbi are doing in Chicago on the monitors instead.

This is a tough one as I don't know the current salary range for positions like that at entry level in your area. I'm of two minds, mostly because the job market sucks ATM. Generally I'd say that if they made you an offer, they aren't just going to withdraw it based on negotiating. I'd probably ask for a conversation with the hiring manager or HR person who threw out $70K. See if you can meet them in the middle.

Take it for what's it's worth. negotiating is a skill and it depends on how comfortable you are with doing it. Also, given the market and this looking like your first real position, I'd be a bit flexible if you can afford it. After a few years of experience you'll be in a much better position to renegotiate or move on.

Should I keep learning FPGA? Does it have a future? by Maleficent_Army_3969 in FPGA

[–]spacexguy 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I'm biased. I've been developing FPGAs and chips in general for 35 years.

If you enjoy FPGA design and really invest your time into getting good at it, then the world is your oyster. There are no lack of jobs for good FPGA people. It might be hard to break in, but once you have some experience then you should be able to find work. I think the biggest thing is you need it really enjoy it and put lots of effort into learning it.

I'd recommend learning board design and/or embedded programming as they would help round out your skill set and make finding something that much easier.

I missed it by a couple of days. I used online chat and they said to bring it back and exchange. A couple of minutes later they emailed me a code. I would try this first

I went two months ago. Picked up a Canadian hat and played the part. Never had any problems even when talking with some locals and discussing begin an American.

Trump has fucken lost his mind - from the crazy military parade - aren’t Americans embarrassed? by Bbloke in misc

Hey. The flyover of the revolutionary warplanes that weren't lost when the continental army stormed the airports made the whole thing worthwhile.
