It does not. I'm Australian and our timezones are ahead of the US (NSW time is about 15-17 hours ahead of US Eastern time). If I took a flight from Sydney to New York (22~ hours) on my birthday, the US custom's officer would wish me happy birthday when I landed the next day.
Therefore, birthdays are not bound by timezone at all.
I don't think a regular Raspberry Pi counts as embedded, although from Embassy's documentation, there is a version of embassy for the Rapberry Pi Microcontroller.
I think you’re aware of this already but for everyone else:
There’s different kinds of embedded. What traditionally was referred to as embedded is microcontrollers (e.g., 32-bit ARM Cortex M devices like the STM32 or an NXP IMX106x chip ). A configuration for a Cortex-M7 chip (that some may consider on the high end of traditional embedded) is a 600MHz clock, 1MB of RAM, and 4MB of flash memory. These run either bare metal or a real time operating system but don’t have an MMU.
These days the definition is sometimes expanded to include devices that run full fledged OSes like Linux (embedded Linux) on devices like the RPI with much more memory than an MCU.
To answer the original posters question a bit: get used to C and C++ and not using malloc() / new(), which includes a lot of the standard library.
I don’t think that is exactly accurate. But you know, like close enough, describes all my work. Just pointing out that something like an industrial system running win ce on PowerPC or x86 has been within the definition of embedded for a long time. Embedded Java was/is a thing. Both extremely non-central examples, but what’s new is how cheap the hardware is, embedded has always included more sophisticated OS’ and more than micros.
I'm still a noob but it seems like there's also a distinction between bare metal embedded and RTOS, which is higher level. I think STMs are more commonly run bare metal but esp32s use a version of FreeRTOS.
That’s right, the keyword for embedded development would be “microcontroller”. A normal Pi is an SoC which is more akin to a traditional desktop - embassy would not be the easiest tool to use for that.
You're talking about Samatha-vipassanā which is the cultivation of stable attention and mindfulness as two skills. Your skill can be measured by the nine stages of tranquility:
Depending on the type of training you're doing, you're likely eating lean meat too, like chicken breasts and fish. Most people are much less picky about the kind of meat they eat, opting for fatty cuts or meat products high in salt and saturated fats.
"The recommendation to limit dietary saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake has persisted despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recent meta-analyses of randomized trials and observational studies found no beneficial effects of reducing SFA intake on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality, and instead found protective effects against stroke." PMID 32562735 - Jun 2020, Journal of the American College of Cardiology
> In general, saturated fat consumption should not exceed 10% of total daily calories. Significantly limiting highly processed foods will help meet this goal. More high-quality research is needed to determine which types of dietary fats best support long-term health.
So that ends up being roughly 20 grams of saturated fat. I still consider that quite high, given that there is a strong correlation between saturated fat consumption and CVD.

Reference? Many of the old studies have been proven flawed and, no surprise, corrupt [1]. Recent studies seem to suggest that it's only linked for some people.
Disclaimer: I am nearly uneducated with this topic, but find it increasingly hard to trust anything nutrition related, where big money is involved.
While I don't have studies on hand, I recommend watching `Viva Longevity!` on YouTube. He makes a case for the Ancel Keys studies, and why saturated fat is bad and why fiber is good.
It's been nearly a year or two since I've looked into it, but basically there is a lot of money in marketing for the beef and dairy industries, and that includes lobbying and influencing the outcomes of scientific studies. It's worth scrutinising claims against the Ancel Keys studies soley based on the fact, in my opinion.
That is quite an extreme take, and one that sounds like it was born from parroting social media takes. Ancel Keys was largely correct, and much of what he said is corroborated by modern science. Probably his main issue was that he was a bit too focused on saturated fat, which is not wrong, but not the only factor. He was wrong that sugar is just empty calories, though he never recommended replacing fat with sugar.
Modern science agrees that saturated fats lead to CVD, but replacing saturated fats with refined carbs also leads to CVD, which Ancel Keys didn't believe (though, to be fair, the populations he studied didn't have access to the types of refined carbohydrates we have today)
The dietary guidelines derived from his work did backfire, but Keys never said to replace saturated fats with refined carbs, which is what ended up happening. He advocated for substituting different fats. But the message that ended up being received was "no fat at all", which no scientist ever actually recommended AFAIU.
The diet he actually recommends is well studied, and found to be protective.
Fair enough! I was not aware of that. But she's far from the only one. There appears to be a wall of meta-analysis stating the same, but again, I'm naive and just googling.
Diary and beef are huge industries, with the processors dominating the industry. Vegetable, legume, and grain processors are much more fragmented.
The dairy and beef industry can and do pool their money into paying for scientific studies [to show the results they want]. This manifested itself with a coordinated attack on the Ancel Keys studies.
So just reading meta-analyses saying the inverse is not going to help you arrive at the truth, when the well has been poisoned. I personally don't have the literacy to sort fact from fiction, but I know that cardiologists tend to believe the Ancel Keys studies. That's enough of a recommendation for me to believe it to.
Plus I was able to reduce my cholesterol from like 7.0 to 2.4 by eating high fibre and low saturated fat for about 6 months.
This is dairy/meat-industry misinformation. Both industries really don't want you to give up those foods, so they pay to sway studies. If you want to know the truth about saturated fat, ask your cardiologist which foods they think contribute to cholesterol, high blood pressure, and therefore CVD.
