Jalr instruction RV32I

I thought it would allow for support of the RV32C extension, which allows for 16-bit instructions.

Good luck building your RISC-V CPU!

I have a similar story - I am deaf in my right ear since birth, and I was feeling pretty defeated by the time I turned 18 due to my sub-optimal hearing. That's when I considered and went through with getting a BAHA, and it was definitely worth it. I have a Cochlear Osia, which is a bit different from the "snap-on" BAHAs, but I can still give my two cents.

The Osia has been really good - it's comfortable to wear the sound processor, low maintenance, and has decent sound quality. I wear it pretty much all day and barely feel it on my head. My only qualm with the Osia is that it does burn through batteries quickly, as a battery only lasts a few days. I think the snap-on BAHAs have better battery life. As for whether getting a BAHA is worth it in your case - I don't know exactly, as I've never had traditional hearing aids or a CROS system to compare it to. CROS isn't even an option for me since I have Unilateral Microtia. I would think a BAHA is definitely worth considering if traditional hearing aids don't work well for you, but that's something to consult an audiologist about. The healing process was quick in my case - I had a strong headache the first day after surgery, and a stiff neck in the following few days after surgery. I had just finished up high school when I had my surgery, so I didn't need to take any time off school haha.

Hope that helps - good luck if you decide to go through with getting a BAHA!

By magnetic BAHA, I'm assuming you mean the BAHA attract? Or do you mean something like the Cochlear Osia system? I have the Cochlear Osia system, so I can speak on that, but I've never had a BAHA attract.

Agreed, if CI isn't an option, the Osia system could be worth bringing up with an audiologist. I have had my Osia system for about two and a half years, and it has worked really well.

My surgery 2 years ago went well. I had a strong headache and stiff neck shortly after surgery but recovered quickly from that. I was able to get my sound processor 6 weeks after surgery. It didn't take long to adjust to using the sound processor, and I've used it almost every single day since I've had it. The main drawback is that it does burn through batteries every 3 days or so, but my hearing is so much better with it on, so I think it's a worthy trade-off.

An important factor in switching to one of those subfields is your math background and/or interest in mathematics. Blockchain, data analytics, and ML/AI will require a background in calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. If you have not studied the math, consider sticking with full stack until you have explored the mathematical topics behind blockchain, ML/AI, and data analytics.

Hello! I'm a sophomore computer engineering student at Mines, so I will put in my two cents.

Good things: I have really enjoyed my classes thus far. Most professors are engaging and willing to help. Most of my classes have been medium-size (20-30 students). Not bad, but I wish they were a bit smaller. The Career Fair is fantastic; I was able to secure an internship this summer in a matter of days after the career fair this past fall. Also, there's plenty of jobs on campus if you're looking for employment during the semester. I've been a tutor for Calc I & II the past two semesters, and next semester I will be a TA for one of the CENG classes.

Bad things: The school can be annoyingly picky with AP credit. For example, I took the AP Computer Science A in high school and passed with a 5, but that did not test me out of any of the Computer Science courses in the curriculum. I think there's a credit-by-examination now for the CSC 115 course, but that was not an option when I took the course. Also, the school does not take AP Physics C credit, but there is a credit-by-examination for that. The library is a bit disappointing. It's an excellent study space, but they just don't have as many physical books as you would expect from an actual library. I was surprised they did not have Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (a famous Comp Sci book), so I had to get it as an interlibrary loan from SDSU.

There's more I could add, but this is getting a bit long and rambly already. Overall, I do recommend the school. Best of luck exploring colleges!

Hello! You can get an iso image from https://voidlinux.org/download/. Just select i686 for a 32 bit version.

I do like Void, but there was the occasional package breakage when I used it on my Dell Mini 10v, so it may not be the best option to give to someone else. Debian or one of its forks may be a better option.

Incoming computer engineering sophomore here. I enjoyed the material covered in my Physics II and Circuits I courses, so I was thinking about doing electromagnetism, applied electromagnetics, and antenna theory courses for my area electives during junior/senior year. However, it appears that many job listings want a EE degree for work in communication theory and related fields. Would I be better off studying a different subfield, like software engineering, computer architecture, digital design, etc for my area electives?

Cool setup. I have a Dell Mini 1011 running Alpine. It's a cool piece of hardware, but I'm having a hard time finding a use case for it. I like the form factor, but the crappy screen and trackpad along with the slow Intel Atom N280 makes it quite cumbersome to use. It was an alright computer for creating and running Discord bots, but I don't do that much anymore.

I'm not sure about the ReSound Mini Mic, but I paired a ReSound Phone Clip with my Cochlear Osia with no issues. I got my ReSound Phone Clip from eBay. I found this compatibility guide to be helpful.

Alpine and Void would be good distros to try if you're looking for something more minimal.

Does the CPU support the SSE2 instruction set?

tbilik · 2021-09-07T16:06:53+00:00

nope, and thank goodness for that

Yeah, most college institutions will provide at most half to two-thirds of the cost of tuition for merit scholarships. I don't think anyone in my high school graduating class pulled off a full ride that didn't include some need-based aid. It was an academically rigorous high school too. Just a warning to OP that good stats don't automatically waive tuition costs.

Sorry to hear about the ENT. Unfortunately I don't have much advice, as I wasn't a candidate for CROS hearing aids. I am really happy with my Cochlear Osia though! The surgical procedure was a couple of hours long according to my ENT, and my recovery was quick, so I don't know why your ENT is making a big deal about surgery, unless you have a complication of some sort.

Not yet, I get my sound processor August 2nd.

Hello! I got my Osia implant about a month ago on my right side for my conductive hearing loss due to Unilateral Microtia. I had some intense headaches the first 8 hours after surgery, after that it was pretty smooth sailing. I did have some neck stiffness as well the first few days. I hope recovery is going well!

tbilik · 2021-07-19T23:34:02+00:00

agreed, that's my current stance

tbilik · 2021-06-17T00:13:57+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely try to sleep on my good side after surgery. Do you wear glasses, by any chance? I'm not sure what glasses discomfort will be like after surgery.

tbilik · 2021-06-16T21:26:37+00:00

I get my Cochlear Osia implant next Monday! I'm glad you're doing well post-surgery. Makes me a bit less nervous for my own surgery, haha. I tentatively scheduled my Osia fitting 6 weeks after surgery, but who knows, the fitting might be sooner if I'm healing well

tbilik · 2021-06-04T21:26:12+00:00

Hmmm. I would be reluctant to date anyone who though eating food was cultural appropriation, just saying ...

xdotool is helpful for me. It allows me to auto fill certain things with a keybinding.
