OT: This is the first time in a while that I’ve seen the phrase “load-bearing” used in a natural way. :-)

I suppose. My original comment should have been “doesn’t teach you how to program.” It would be great to do it the normal way first, then point out that it’s impossible to do without a contract of behavior in place, then start creating th

It’s funny, when I’ve seen this demonstrated, it’s basically literally impossible to get the right result because the test maker doesn’t define an instruction set that you can rely on. They will deliberately screw up whatever instructions y

One of the best parties I’ve been to in my life was the reception after a funeral for my wife’s great-aunt. Generations of relatives and family friends, some of whom hadn’t seen each other in thirty years, took over their house from after t

I built a variant to very successfully estimate state of charge for a large battery pack in a production hybrid-electric vehicle. Often some tweaks from the standard formula are necessary to account for real-world non-linearities, and some

Wrightspeed did this a while (10 years?) ago. It looks like they have since pivoted to fully electric powertrains for buses, but when they first started they were doing range-extending hybrid powertrains for heavy trucks. I found an artic

I’m excited about Slint. It’s great to have a solid Qt alternative for embedded UIs. I doubt I will need to use it on a MCU rather than an embedded Linux processor, but even so, it’s also nice to know that it’s lightweight.

The “Interrupt” blog by Memfault is another example. They are adored by embedded developers.

"How to See, How to Draw" by Claudia Nice is a good book for learning to draw in a self-guided way. Doesn't take much money -- $20 at any art supply store can get you a decent drawing book and a decent set of pencils.

and Patrick, I can say that you were the first heavy influence on me that pushed me in the direction of solo entrepreneurship. From your writings and podcast I found Brennan Dunn, Amy Hoy, Jonathan Stark, Philip Morgan and others who have

It’s funny, I actually find Babish quite educational because his videos are so tightly edited. Explains the techniques and recipe in seven minutes flat. My wife and I have made many of his recipes (that he usually borrows from others) bec

I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Frankie Manning around 2004 or 2005 at the Atomic Ballroom in Orange County. He was an incredible teacher, and the ladies who got to dance with him to demonstrate moves were absolutely blushin

If it’s 20 pages of useful information and insight that saves someone time, yes. Assuming that’s the case, s/he should charge more.

Given that this pandemic has killed millions, shut down the world economy, and caused untold long term damage to children due to lack of stable schooling: yes, it’s because the precautionary principle is too costly. Edit: sorry, my comment

This is the guide, which you would normally visit from the homepage. The homepage gives a very clear description of what it is.

I remember the memfault blog post that introduced me to this package. Great find, and I’ve started doing the same on all my embedded dev projects. Thanks!

What is the deal with the commentators emphasizing when the players “fist pump” and pronouncing it strangely? Such a silly gimmick.

This is a neat idea. PSA currently shows a movement heat map over the course of each game but it isn’t interesting either - they are all just very similar looking blobs. I would love to see slow-motion breakdowns, but that might only be in

Reuters is the best I’ve seen at “just the facts”. Very little sensationalism. I blocked CNN from my phone because checking it repeatedly all day gave me high blood pressure.

I can help you with the microcontroller and control algorithm side. It’s what I do. If you’re a software developer you can do it yourself with a small amount of guidance from someone like me. Email is my username plus 79 at gmail if you wa

Hmm, sounds like you might be automating tests on the target, scripted from the PC. There's a place for this, but I'd call that automated integration/system testing, not unit testing. Unit testing was traditionally considere

No, I didn't do any research with the LS1. That was just an undergrad project for me, as a lab experiment for the engine class students to run. Speaking of EtaGen (your third link), two of the founders, Shannon Miller and Matt Svrcek,

Wow, what a blast from the past. When I first took the IC engines class, it was in that lab from your pictures. During grad school I helped move it over to the fancy new MERL building. I remember doing a project in undergrad to add close
