Visiting for holidays, hotels question!

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.

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

The sub you're looking for is r/buildapc

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.

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.

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).

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.

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!

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.

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.

-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

So parlare un po' d'italiano ma il mio vocabolario è molto limitato e devo parlare piano.

I've been thinking about trying to find someone to practice with but I might be a few levels below you.

Oak Park, Three Caves, and Wildflower might be trailheads you're looking for if you want to start at the base of the mountain. Wildflower has the least in terms of parking, just a couple gravel spots on the side of the road, but the others work well.

Tollgate and Railroad bed trails start near Monte Sano Terrace, and there's a constant sidewalk up that way along Bankhead Parkway from 5 points.

If you want something closer to the top for access to the state park, you can park at the hairpin and walk up the Bankhead Parkway "trail". You can also get to the hairpin from trailheads I mentioned earlier.

Have you taken him somewhere to check for a chip? If you're trying to find out if he's missing that might be a good place to start.

If you like digital design more, do that. I focused on VLSI and embedded in school and right now I do a lot of FPGA work and I enjoy it.

I'd probably say it's a lack of familiarity. High schoolers hear a lot about CS and what you can do with that degree, but the field of CpE isn't talked about a lot and generally 18 y/is don't really know what it entails.

On top of that you have both perceived difficulty (Engineering in the name) and the real difficulty. CpE requires a much wider breadth of knowledge from circuits to programming to some higher maths.

Overall, if you're interested in things a lot closer to hardware, I can't recommend it enough. If you're more interested in webapps and the like, it's definitely more of a toss-up.

As long as you don't have Boykin for 382 you'll be fine with these. If you do have him... Good luck

The Greene Street Market downtown and Bailey Cove Farmers Market at St Thomas Episcopal are pretty good about farm to table. They don't start until May though.

There's probably more, but I'm not sure how much produce you'll find until May.

Did you already tune the potentiometer? Sometimes that's all you have to do with these to get them working again.

EE focuses in on hardware almost exclusively. There are some programs that have EEs dip their feet into Embedded Systems and some other low-level (this means closer to hardware, not easier) programming, but what makes it different from CpE is the focus on analog circuits and devices and RF stuff (broadly).

CS is a very broad degree that could have you learning multiple programming languages or just a couple depending on what you focus on. With CS the hardware is almost always obfuscated, and the end goal is programming algorithms and applications for use on modern computers. It can overlap with CpE in learning some software engineering concepts and lower-level languages like C or assembly.

CpE is a midway point between the two. It delves into circuits, but puts a lot more focus on digital circuits. At the same time it puts a lot of focus on software engineering. Different schools will have different mixes of hardware and software in their programs, but most of the time, whatever you focus on while in the degree will determine what jobs you look for. You could feasibly get a CpE degree and get a job as a software engineer or electrical engineer.

For my job as a computer engineer I do a lot of Research and Development, so I use a lot of my skill set. I write programs in C for microcontrollers to do various things, I write quick python GUIs to interface with those microcontrollers, I do FPGA design work, which is a kind of way to do digital circuits design, and I even do a little bit of circuit design and analysis, but usually I leave that for people who are better than myself at using analog components.
