OK. Unfortunately, this is pretty typical of embedded development. The mentality tends to be that "nobody is going to see" the code, so only the external interfaces are well documented and understanding of the internals resides

You need to talk to the person you report to at your employer. Dragging the contracting agency into this at this point is not reasonable. And, unfortunately, you may find that this is the situation and you have to live with it. My first j

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. - Brian W. Kernighan

The thing that kills me is people who reply to emails with a phone call. I actually quit putting my cell number in my email signature because of this. If I wanted to talk to you I would call you; if I emailed you for something then I expe

Assuming the paper's optimistic predictions are feasible, the amortized cost per passenger of a one-way ticket is $20 plus operating costs. So, sure, the round trip cost will hopefully be somewhere below $100, if we ignore the cost of

She said it herself: it's another Segway. It's a solution in search of a problem. We already have mass transit between northern and southern California: airplanes. I know, I know, this would be "better". But the exis

Government doesn't have to care about risk or tangible profit, and they have a longer time horizon than most business can afford. Look at the space race, for example; the potential gains were purely political and the project certainly

I don't really care for the template model; it won't look like your actual handwriting because most people don't write individual letters in little boxes the same way they write sentences. I would be really impressed if the t
