Eh. As a counter point.

I live in Montana, have a degree in an unrelated field but still work on IOT projects.

I work mostly from home or private office and have never needed to drive for course of work.

Not sure how you exist in Montana without driving.

If you’d like to move into that field, it’s certainly not easy but it is possible.


Yup - also you need to know both fields hence why it pays more.


I gave away some broken tools on Craigslist once and had a similar experience. 2 people showed up really happy, one was entitled. Didn’t really scare me off though.


1) that was fun. The explanations next to each parameter are helpful to know what each slider modifies.

2) the way you advertise your app and ask for feedback is welcoming. It feels honest.


Leadership is about getting people from point a to point b. Generally to do that you need trust, a good idea of where point a,b are, and what the path between them looks like.

Age is a component of trust, but only a small one and very dependent on the situation.

If you want to be leading someone who has more experience than you, best be sure you have trust and a rock solid understanding of the path you need to be on.


I’me working on an embedded project and would like to setup a CI/CD pipeline. Do you have any recommended resources?


There was a presentation about CI/CD for embedded systems at HITB+CyberWeek a couple of days ago: https://cyberweek.ae/2020/ci-cd-with-sast-and-dast-for-embed...

A recording can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFytbVFMLfA


Thanks!


Can personally voice for the Nordic series chips. Their Sdk has allowed for some of the most pleasant coding I have ever done.


Amen. If we don’t focus on the root cause it will be harder to solve the problem. And understand that we have actually solved it.

Wait what? Uart is active low. So it’s not to hard to bump the 12V down to 5V, but what happened with the -12V?


Just saying a 5V device had no problem interpreting -12 as 0 and +12 as 1 (wayyyy out of specs). And the serial port accepted 5 as good as +12 and 0V as -12V. No level shifting.

Did require inverting in code since RS232 uses -12V as logic 1 and +12 as 0.


At least in the states. Most airlines I fly have an option for a premium seat that costs more and has more leg room.
