Re: What's your day job?
 

As I write this, I am waiting for the autocode that I wrote to generate the actual code that I will then attempt to compile into software that is suitable for execution on any of several variants of device (comprising millions of devices in total), the purpose of each such device being to control dozens of output signals (based on input received from more than twice as many sensors) with the intention of managing the operation of a single self-contained assemblage of machinery (having a cumulative mass measured in thousands of kilograms) during partially-autonomous operation while traveling at velocities measured in hundreds of kilometers per hour.


...In other words, I program cars. :cool:

I sit around, do nothing, and look pretty. :P

Jk, I work as a Commodity Data Analyst at a very large FORTUNE 500 Company. While it isn't very STEM related, my whole team at work are involved in FIRST as mentors and volunteers.

Intriguing question.

I'm a special education classroom assistant, and teach a computer science class while I'm working to get started on my teaching credential.

I also tutor private clients.

That's just part of his job.

Dave is in interplanetary trade - he trades stuff for data.

Also, he was quoted in this month's Popular Science in an article about space suits, so it appears he's planning to put people on other planets as well.

I work at Target?

But will he be able to get the whole Stronghold field and robots to the Moon Regional? Probably break less gear boxes in lower gravity. Also the loud music...not so much. If we can get the stuff there I know where to put the driver's stations down here.

Watch out - there's about 1-1/4 second lag each way.

Re: What's your day job?
 

We could just make the field a little bigger. I'm sure the neighbors won't mind. FMS may just have to be modified a bit anyway.

Course we could just arrange a field trip but I think we'd need the really complex permission slips.
There's a joke in here somewhere about making good on the threat to send your kids to the moon if they don't knock it off!

Did you get laid off from your old night job? That one sounded pretty cool too.
