Thanks for the insight. Damn, it's a real weight to work on some shit you just don't care for. That is brutal, sorry. For me, instead of having a job I don't like, I'm just unemployed. Naturally some part of me wishes I just had anything.
The programming I do is mostly lower level. Microcontrollers and some FPGA stuff. As it happens I got pretty familiar with Eclipse 🙃. I used it first when working with AVR microcontrollers, and the MSP430 and STM32 platforms both have their own IDEs based on Eclipse (CCS and STM32Cube). Vendor provided embedded IDEs and minimalism do not go together.
In principle I probably already knew that, and just couldnt put it in practicd. naive of me
Yeah Ive got to stay level headed. It's not totally rational but right now it feels like I passed up the best chance I'll ever get at stability.
I think my worst attribute is just not talking to anyone. Every time I'm in a tough spot i just try to reason through by myself, and it usually works out.
i posted about passing on a job offer a few weeks ago. I didn't really pass on it, I accepted but told them that the work wasn't what i really wanted to do, and they decided to rescind the offer. same thing
jobs are so scarce, I definitely should have just said nothing and sign the contract. They would drop me any time they wanted, so I can leave any time I want too. i just couldn't commit to something i thought would make me miserable.
At the time I didn't think I could even tolerate the job. Got some space to think properly and I just don't think that's true any more. I can tolerate it fine. Work environment is fine, pay is fine, just the work wasnt what i wanted to focus on. These are all just tech white collar jobs anyways, what was i hesitating for. motherfucker
I've got some clarity now, i'll move on. sometimes i just hate myself
I love the wording
If you HAD to choose between a nice sandwich and getting mauled by a wolverine, which would you choose?
If you had a bad feeling about it before you even started there then there's a 99% chance that you were going to hate it if you took the job.
That's exactly what I was feeling. There's a chance I wouldn't hate it because I never had a job exactly like it, but I can't even look forward to it. (I'm obfuscating details here) I have experience in both hardware and software/firmware domains, but my interest is mostly on the hardware side and this job is almost pure software. I can do it, but
I will do it. I will trust myself and keep going.
That's right. I had considered this angle but just couldn't pull the trigger on it. Next time absolutely.
I just passed on a tech job offer. It's not a bad job and I would have been good at it, too, but its just not what I want to do.
will I regret this after my other applications fall through? Yeah. I would also regret it if I had to work 40 hours a week doing that job.
I know lots of people working jobs they hate, so what am I doing turning a good one down, right?
Man. I don't know. i followed my instinct on that one. My instinct is fallible as fuck
Trump is speaking mandarin and Harris is speaking cantonese.
TRUMP: Maybe I should just reflect, and not speak more. I've been abandoned, do I deserve that? If I really was a bad shepherd, can I try again? Can I hold you again?
HARRIS: When I look back, walking with you, I've never been happy.
TRUMP: Too much hate, it's no use. To bring up the past only torments us.
HARRIS: Looking ahead, if I'm with you, I don't think there will be much happiness either.
TRUMP: I hurt you, and caused you pain.
It's just reddit again over there, oh man.
mfw I realize I am a member of an insane Lovecraftian cult community that worships eldritch abominations
i'm going offline for a week, coming back to some frankly indecipherable stuff like this but still immediately understanding all of it
oh. shit.
i wake up
no ruyi jingu bang
now what. why do i continue
The smartest people you've ever met:
that's so inconsiderate,,,, the athletes are gonna get executed for that,,
fuck me dude the dems turned it around
they did it to spite me specifically
Exactly, it's probably something like 24C. That would put the 200W loaded Hyper 212 at around 56.8C, which is not very plausible.
too much ranting about cooler testing
man CPU cooler reviews. I'm usually interested in two things:
- how is the performance of this cooler relative to others?
- how could I expect this cooler to perform on my system?
I've read a lot of cooler test reports and at least in the older ones, I remember so often they could present useful comparative data but not absolute data. For instance, straight up not measuring the CPU power draw so that unless you have this exact CPU it wouldn't tell you much about how the cooler would perform on your system.
I mean look at this - how much power is "Idle"? and "load"? STOP TELLING ME WHAT THE VOLTAGE AND CLOCKSPEED IS I DON'T CARE. HOW MUCH POWER IS IT
I remember I would have to dig up other reviews of the CPU where they report the power draw at different clock speeds so I could guess at how much power was being dissipated in the cooler tests.
This review kind of has the same issue, though it tries to do better. I do appreciate the attempt at doing a standardized constant power testing, but the results are unrealistically low for core temps. The Hyper 212 absolutely does not hold 32.8C over ambient at 200W of real CPU heat dissipation (at least, unless the ambient temperature is like 50C. what is ambient? I don't think they specified). This doesn't seem like a good approximation of any modern CPU and is still only useful for a comparative test. Or maybe this is more of a Tcase estimate, which is much less useful than Tdie.
OH me too, I hate watching videos that should be articles. Text is so much better, faster, more convenient for this sort of reference material. I cannot stand having to scrub through a video to find a figure or a table.
Yeah, definitely. The more I think about it though, the less important I think this is. I suppose there's good reason that GPU brackets are popular and nobody bothers with a CPU heatsink bracket.
I realized that just the CPU cooler mounting pressure already loads the motherboard like a beam with a point load. This certainly results in some bending stress already, so perhaps the additional stress from the weight of the cooler hanging off the board is really not significant.
... I just lay the whole thing down on its side so I stop thinking about it.
Again with the horrible children from pretty cool parents
I am all about comically large air coolers. Quiet, effective up to like 200W and zero leaks. Watercooling looks better though. Tubes.
The one thing that I don't like about air coolers is how every case positions the motherboard vertically, which means the heatsink (if giant like mine) applies a lot of torque on the motherboard. I have never had this cause a problem, it just does not sit well with me
