An emergency alert went off on my wife’s phone for a second time at 2.50, and 26 minutes later I still couldn’t fall asleep. I am also anxiously waiting for my alarm to ring any time. I don’t want to disable emergency alarms because they are important, but if they keep sending them in the middle of the night again and again at different hours they aren’t leaving me much choice.

I wish we had an active aoe2 community.

Web design is not the only option for someone who likes programming. Since you are still a student, there are so many options in front of you. You can be an embedded engineer and work closer to hardware, design firmware, electronic chips themselves or their verification environment. You can be a software engineer and work on business-to-business software which does not include adds and is very useful (e.g. CAD tools, inventory trackers for supermarkets and hospitals etc.). There is so much you can do, pursue something you are enthusiastic about.

Are you writing from your grave?

In this article RTL refers to register transfer level. It is a way of describing hardware on very low level, it uses registers for memory (which usually translates to flip-flops when/if synthesized), wires, basic arithmetic and logic operations, but terminology may slightly change based on which rtl language is being used. It can be used to design a CPU, or any ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) chip. Instructions may resemble to processor instructions, but the end result is fundamentally different. You may run a set of instructions on a processor, while what rtl describes is often synthesized and becomes the hardware itself which performs the operations (e.g. arithmetic logic unit in the cpu).

Looks like AI generated.

I love airplane, I will check others.

I should have thought of that

What is it?

That sounds fun and creative

In my last two jobs in two different countries the unwritten rule is to not schedule a meeting between 12-13. Not everyone has lunch at the same time, and everyone is free to have lunch whenever they want, but this guarantees that you will have some time to have lunch even if you are booked by meetings around noon. But it doesn’t really solve the timezone issue.

When there are multiple relevant communities, I post on the smaller community and crosspost that to the bigger one. I hope thay this would advertise the smaller community in the bigger one since I expect that some people in the bigger one may be interested in the smaller community but don’t know about it.

One worry I usually have about working with academia is working on something so specialized with so many limitations that it cannot go further than becoming a toy example. I agree with you that industry probably is more promising for future development with many more experts. Thanks for your advice

Thank you for your advice. It is a nice idea to look for a job with more research focus. I am guessing the tool vendors may offer research related jobs regarding formal verification which limits the options to a few US-based companies, but I will definitely look into it.

It is definitely not something I will rush. There is nothing that forces me to get PhD right away so I will wait until I find something very interesting, and a good advisor.

Disagree. Being happy on your own is as valid. Some people just like it that way.

I thought your first sentence was serious at first, since it genuinely makes sense to me. If growing a jellyfish causes animal suffering, I can see why a vegan may reject to eat it for ethical reasons.
