I was disposed of recently after 4 years. Looking back now I feel I put in too many hours, filled in for roles and responsibilities without financial compensation. I'm 40 and still making these types of mistakes. Just an overwhelming feeling of sadness and frustration.
High five for all the other recently made redundant peeps.
> Ask developers to propose work-life goals and objectives
I think I'd just hand my notice in. If that was ever asked of me.
The whole article feels way over the top and honestly suffocating. Most people I work with struggle through the usual set of goals/targets every year and hate every minute of it. People are complex and have a wide variety of skills, treating people like this isn't motivational and you'll find good people moving elsewhere.
My anxiety levels literally started rising when I read that line. It's another example of developers being infantalized, instead of treating them as highly trained professionals.
Not the OP, but I guess the power of Raspberry Pi is that everyone already has one - really useful if you want to do something in a hurry without anything extra. I've used a Pi as an emergency programmer on multiple occasions, as an SPI flash burner, as an SWD debugger, as an AVR programmer. You can even use the Pi as an USB-FDD bootdisk or emulate an IDE driver via its parallel interface.
I guess it doesn't have to be a pi. The idea would be that the pi would connect to your network and provide the floppy drive into an older system. Any system on the network could command the pi to mount the floppy image to the connected device.
Basically I don't want to have to be constantly moving a usb disk around.
Ultimately, the pi is unsuitable for deterministic behavior, and Linux is unsuitable for the kind of realtime needed to sample from a floppy directly.
Don't get me wrong: It would be possible to do it, but it would be theoretically not reliable, even if it felt reliable. You'd also need some sort of glue in between, as floppy drives signal at 5v and the rpi isn't 5v tolerant.
Therefore, you could connect the pi to the stm32, rather than directly run the floppy drive from the pi.
My guess is that he has one already, so why buy new kit if unneeded? I was excited about Pi1541 as I have a C128D that needs more of a life than one C64 Flight Simulator II disc I have handy, but it only runs on more recent models than my 1B.
The problem with pi is non determinism, meaning you cant bitbang FM/MFM encoded data stream like the floppy drive. Smbakers project goes around this using dual port RAM implementing mechanism employed by for example 1995 DiskOnChip (m-systems, later Sandisk)
This is obvious but I had Firefox containers & Decentraleyes enabled. This makes comparing the results to the output of the DevTools Network tab a little difficult.
Turn off all the protection to see the issues in the DevTools Network tab.
I'd like a bot which ripped the articles from Bloomberg and created a simple lightweight output. It's Getting to the point where I avoid anything on Bloomberg.
