Yeah, modern is a bit of a stretch, the GUI is only modern relative to LTSpice. The syntax suggestion when typing looks useful, and maybe the C++/Verilog blocks would expand the parametrization capabilities. Right now I kinda cycle between LTSpice, PSpice for TI, and QUCS, and the latter two are the most powerful.

Haha I deal with the same thing with my GCP -- waiting 10 mins to warm-up, and then pulling a shot. Some extra warm-up time for this might be nice though, I'm wondering if it will be a noticeable difference.

I haven't had Stumptown beans in forever, but they're great. I've had Hair Bender & Founder's Blend, both of which I would recommend. I haven't tried Homestead yet. Do you adjust the temperature of the water at all when dialing in lighter roasts? I've heard higher temps can lead to better extraction for those.

Awesome! I love this album. What are your favorites on there? I have "The Way Out is Through" and "Just Like You Imagined" on repeat a bit too often...

Yes! How'd you make the lady fingers? I had used this recipe in the past, the hardest part (after getting that desired texture of the meringue) was piping the mixture onto the baking sheet. Getting them consistent was difficult. I might have to get a mold for next time.

Oh yeah, those potting/epoxy materials can be really annoying to remove. At work we have some prototypes that someone decided needed Silastic everywhere... so half of the debugging time is peeling that stuff away. At least that stuff in particular is easy to peel :)

I had been thinking of making a shittyveganfoodporn community, but haven't had any good shitty vegan food porn to post... also probably don't have time to moderate it. But I'm working on a vegan tiramisu cheesecake (from Addicted to Dates) as we speak, so I'll have some regular vegan food porn to post.

Thanks for starting this community! Maple syrup making sounds fun. What have been some of the most difficult reworks you’ve successfully completed?

I've enjoyed my 1Zpresso K-Max, although in retrospect getting the blind shaker design in the magnetic catch cup of the K-Plus would have been nice. The external adjustment with detents was a selling point for me, despite it having a slightly coarser adjustment than comparably-priced manual grinders.

I'm unfamiliar with career prospects for electrical engineers in Sweden, so I'll defer to that advice you have gotten, and hope someone who is familiar can add some helpful information. Perusing through LinkedIn and Indeed could be helpful in seeing what the job offerings are like in your local area. I'll try to add something useful to the discussion though. From what you've said, you seem very passionate about computer science -- self-learning and working in a related field while pursuing a degree in EE is no joke. It would be a shame to abandon that pursuit if it truly is a passion of yours.

Some questions I have that might be helpful to think over:

  1. What is the process to change your major now? I recognize you're only a year away from graduating with an EE degree, but it could be useful to know what the application process would be like, what barriers you would face with regard to admittance into the CS program now, etc.
  2. What is your plan after undergrad? Have you thought about pursuing a master's degree in CS? There are options for fully remote classes (for instance, my alma mater has an online MS in CS program called "OMSCS").
  3. In terms of careers as an EE that could provide more job opportunities and straddle the line between EE and CS, have you looked into roles related to firmware engineering / embedded software engineering?

Looks nice! For what it's worth, the "expand here" option worked on my end with Firefox.
