Also, more generally... if you see me subtooting someone and are wondering if it's about you: it's probably not.
I make a point of telling people when I have a problem with their behaviour, because I can't expect them to change it if I never tell them what's wrong.
If I subtoot about it, either it's *in addition to* doing so (and if it were about you, you'd already know *with certainty*) or it's about someone I've never spoken to personally (and so it's almost certainly some public figure and not you).
subtoot, venting (2)
(Also, for the RSD folks: if you are reading this, then this is not about you, because you're not blocked.)

I truly cannot stand people who try to make others responsible for their personal guilt.

some people are desperate to be kind to their enemies because having enemies sucks, which is why you must transform them rather than applaud them. nothing but death or a profound reeducation will place love in fascist hearts and neither of those things goes “i gotta hand it to race scientists”

Heya, is anybody driving from Munich to WHY who's willing to take some of my stuff with them?
The people who were going to drive my camping supplies to WHY cancelled. Last time I tried to carry the supplies myself, I got sick from overexertion.

I was just floored and fully impressed that a website correctly detected that I have address protection and offered a simple human readable error message explaining I have to use the alternative login option

@joepie91 If they setup an 'migrate to SteamOS.exe' the same way Ubuntu used to offer an installer from Windows, but better, that would be huge for Linux adoption. Suddenly everybody would know what the KDE Plasma desktop is, etc...
And in particular, because it doesn't *look* like it's that hard
This practice has been obsoleted, by the way, because people consistently kept fucking them up because it turns out that process synchronization is Very Hard To Get Right

Een virusziekte die álle systemen in je lichaam beschadigt: is het te genezen door gewoon een beetje beter je best te doen? Overheid, verzekeringsartsen denken van wel - lees meer op pagina 31
... wait a moment. Those 'wait groups' in Golang, is that literally just their equivalent of async-callback-counting in JS?! A practice which has been obsolete for like a decade by now?
I really struggle to take this language seriously...

Frightening to see how widely applicable this quote is these days:
“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” —Omar El Akkad

Hey, I'm looking for a job as a (full stack) hardware/embedded engineer. My main focus is in electrical engineering & hardware design, DFM, full product integration (doing hardware design with respect to mechanical integration and user interaction), firmware and bringup. I have extensive knowledge in debugging and finding hardware issues.
So far I have worked a lot in medical engineering, both in clinical settings as well as in research & development of assistive technology and human-machine-interfaces, where I did the electrical engineering, ultra-low power hardware design, bringup and the integration with the mechanical and firmware aspects. I designed and brought to market an EV Charger, where I did high power electronics and firmware works. In my spare time I work on open source projects, such as the OtterCast, an open source audio streaming solution, ligra, an open source image projector and a multitude of smart home projects, such as custom lighting. These projects can be found on GitHub https://github.com/Jana-Marie and my personal page https://janamarie.dev/
By trade I am a trained medical engineer and a state certified technician in the field of electronics/medical engineering. I am studying Chemical Biology on the side.
Both, a permanent position and freelancing are interesting to me, although I would prefer the former. You can find my CV at https://cv.janamarie.dev/
