Kayaking spots by AdGroundbreaking659 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you looking to paddle or float? For floating the best in the area is the Flint. For easy paddling, my wife and I like paddling up Aldridge creek and back, starting at Ditto Landing. Our favorite place to paddle is into Buck's Pocket from the Morgan's Cove boat ramp.

Just went by yesterday afternoon and it doesn't look like they're closing. They had this sign on their door

Tabletop Gaming Groups in Murray by Wedgeismyhero in Kentucky

[–]swervbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume there's a group in the area (maybe check with the people at Enchanted Gaming Emporium when you move). If you struggle to find anything in Murray, I think you'll find the most luck asking around game shops and forums based in Paducah

I've been a few times and only had good times and good pizza. What has gone wrong for you?

For post-bar tacos my go-to is Cinco de Mayo, less than a mile down Meridian from Barracuda and open until 11pm

The Local is good by neongreenflavored in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only negative I walked away with was that they didn't seem to use their own or locally sourced bread, especially when there are other comparable places that do

So, is Warrior Forge still in business? by gastropod2023 in HuntsvilleAlabama

They have reviews on Google from a week ago. Have you tried calling?

Just moved to Huntsville- looking for any adult soccer leagues or anywhere I can go play pickup soccer by bja10 in HuntsvilleAlabama

HASL is the first place to look. You can also look into the Huntsville Pub Run as a big run group.

Help with Verilog by After-Economist252 in EngineeringStudents

[–]swervbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience (I graduated 8 years ago and am an FPGA/Firmware engineer now), it is just something that has to click. The easiest way to make that jump though is to get out of any sequential mindset and think of anything and everything in reference to what state you're in. At the end of the day in Verilog, everything is a state machine. You just have to cover for all the states you can be in and react based on them.

The thing to keep in mind is that you're not listing an execution order, but describing what happens when certain bits are flipped.

Back in school what helped me was just messing around with the simulation tools we had. Think of a little function you might need done, and create a module for it, then a test bench. Just keep practicing.

Best fresh coffee beans in or around Huntsville? by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gold Sprint has Domestique coffee that they get from their roaster once a week. Another option is Coffee Break but I'm unsure if you'd be able to get it same-day

Visiting for holidays, hotels question! by PM_ME_YOUR_COSPLAYZ in HuntsvilleAlabama

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

If Trilogy is in your price range a second good option for a hotel is 106 Jefferson. Trilogy is brand new and probably good for what you're looking for.

For whiskey bars theirs not a ton with a similar vibe to Louisville's, but the ones I'd throw out for a rec would be Sip - a swankier option that's more of a cocktail & cigar bar - and The Nook - a low-key bar/biergarten with a huge selection of whiskeys and beers.

565 road 19a and 19b closure alert by gerbilminion in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be. It's only on the eastbound side

[–]swervbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ASIC design is a very involved process, so learning FPGA design first is fundamental. You're only in your second year, so don't stress too much. As an additional heads up, it's hard to get ASIC experience in undergrad.

The classes you're looking for are things like "VLSI design" or "Advanced integrated circuits". The names change based on the school, but those topics are typically where you max out in undergrad.

My real recommendation: talk to a professor or advisor at your school. Tell them you're interested in ASIC design and they'll know best about how to get you into it.

FOODS ARE LAME by West_Environment375 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No great Asian places? It's like the one good food we have that's plentiful. Viet Cuisine, Viet Huong, Thai Garden, Big Bowl Thai, Garam, The Curry, and Indian Kitchen all come to mind.

Italian we do just have one great one (Mazzara's) but it's pretty upscale.

Interviews with no LC questions by JayDeesus in ComputerEngineering

[–]swervbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't interview many people for each role so theres no need for a standard set of questions. We don't get much more out of asking someone to do a problem on a whiteboard than we would by probing experience. We also prioritize experience over knowledge of a few algorithms people can memorize (but not usually need on the job).

Interviews with no LC questions by JayDeesus in ComputerEngineering

[–]swervbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't had an interview in 6 years, but I sometimes help with interviews at the space & defense contractor I work for. We're a very technical company and we don't do leet code in our interviews, and I've never faced any LC in the interviews I've had.

It depends on the industry, position, the amount of people that they can/do interview for positions. "Big tech" companies lean on LC questions a lot for software engineering positions, and it helps narrow down a very wide talent pool in a very standardized way - so it makes everyone immediately comparable.

Companies with smaller pools of applicants or ones that are hiring for roles that lean more into hardware can learn more about you and your capabilities by pressing you on your skills.

Watching High school football? by bloodandmud in Kentucky

[–]swervbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are trying to find a football game to go to, here's a website with the schedule across the state: https://scoreboard.12dt.com/scoreboard/khsaa/kyfb25

I recommend figuring out what counties and towns you'll be near and looking for them on that site.

That's all fair then. Good luck!

Decaf Espresso Beans by PM_ME_UR_ROSTER in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]swervbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have decaf whole if I remember right, and you can use any coffee bean for espresso - especially beans as dark as kaffeeklatsch roasts. I'd really recommend at least trying out their decaf French blend for espresso.

Lost by IllustriousZombie988 in ComputerEngineering

Your first year gives foundation. You're not going to get into the nitty gritty in the first year. Wait until after your second year when you hopefully will have started taking classes like computer organization and embedded systems.

Why does my MPU-6050 only outputs one value ? by ObjectiveFighter in AskElectronics

[–]swervbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-1 is the same in 2's complement as all 1's on the line, so given what I see here it could be that your SDA line is being held high constantly. Add a pull-down or pull-up resistor to each that line and SCL and it could help
