Nicolás, it's nice to see new people in this quite group. However, I
have two requests for you.

One, please do not necropost. Look at the dates of the posts to which
you are replying - you cannot expect to re-open a discussion after 15
years (especially since AFAIK at least one of the participants is, to
the detriment of the embedded development world, deceased).

Two, please follow standard Usenet conventions for formatting your
posts. It is extremely difficult to see what /you/ wrote, and what you
quoted from a previous post. Quoted sections should be indented with a
">" sign (and therefore quotes of quotes will have multiple ">"
indentation). It's very simple, and every Usenet client should do this
by default. Please do not change that.


If you have anything you want to discuss in connection with embedded development, please start a thread. This group may appear mostly dead,
but there are plenty of us who will see the posts and crawl out of the
woodwork whenever something interesting pops up :-)

Dear all,

David is a fine fellow even though we do not agree on everything and I
thank Richard. Let us all be nice and friends. David, by the way: I am
neither rude nor disruptive.

Another facet that crosses my mind is the sweeping change in those who
consider themselves programmers in my lifetime. In my earliest days,
you were pretty much a graduate of some kind -- often physics -- and
this meant a very high level of caliber could be expected. And
"consumers" were very large corporations that could afford the custom
built, air conditioned rooms and the near-million-dollar expenditures
for the hardware. Companies hired the best on all sides, and got it.
Today, computing is accessible to nearly everyone. I've already
commented before here about a student coming up to me, complaining
that the 2nd year course seemed too hard and that maybe their choice
to choose a CS degree instead of an accounting degree was wrong... But
when, when CS degrees didn't exist and people got into computing from
the physics or math departments, there was no such question in
anyone's mind I ever met. Not on the radar scope. But today, we have
almost anyone with almost any level of native talent becoming
programmers here and there. Not bad. Not good. Just different. And
the marketplace itself, because of that, is also different. And so
are the relative levels of research for various areas, I suppose.

I used to study space engineering with a lady who had become hired by NASA as an
electrical engineer. She has recently gone to a board of a bank.

A then workmate at the European Space Agency planned a career change to the European Central Bank. We all thought that it is a strange career change. Within
weeks he left the ECB and returned to ESA explaining that the ECB's problems are
political whereas ESA's problems are technical."


Dear all,

Another example which I find to be strange . . .

is about a person who has an MSc in Telecomunications & Electronics Engineering and a PhD in Telecomunications & Electronics who works in sustainable tourism.

Dear David,

Thanks for yet another polite post about me as always. I am not new to
these newsgroups - thou thyself had responded to posts by myself many
years ago. Google professed today "92" for a search for posts by myself in comp.arch.embedded and "83" re comp.lang.vhdl and "75" re comp.arch.fpga
and some day UsenetArchives.com might offer a useful search engine.

I did have to ask an ISP about USENET as it used to be blocked :(

Is mise le meas,

David Brown <david.brown@hesbynett.no> spake the secret code <v9f24o$3piqe$1@dont-email.me> thusly:

One, please do not necropost.

Who appointed you God of All Usenet? I say, reply to any thread you
want from any time you want if you have something you want to say.

Following your reasoning, I shouldn't comment on the Declaration of Independence because it's purged from short-term usenet spools.

Two, please follow standard Usenet conventions for formatting your
posts.

Nothing like picking the finest of nits.
