That's not a good suggestion at all. I'll go with falling down without hurting yourself. I'll give that a go and se how I do.

As for your question, I spent a lot of years designing and programming ATE when I was first out of college, but there was no Windows then. When I left that career, I tried learning C++ using Visual C++ and MFC for many years without success. It wasn't that the language is that hard, though it is and the syntax is awful, but that the Windows model made me crazy. When C# was introduced, I tried it and found it much easier to learn, and lacking nothing I need. I think you'll find that C# is more than capable of doing all you need for testing batteries and much more, and it will be far easier for you to master. Good luck!

Not all all! We're not barbarians, you know. The holes in the walls were nicely covered with oilskins, which let in the light, but block the rain and wind. They do get a bit ripe-smelling in the summer heat, but since we had no running water and rarely bathed, it was easy to ignore.

If you are targeting only windows then C# is probably the way to go. If you intend to target many platforms then JAVA may be better as it is platform independent.
In my opinion, C++ is very powerful but don't lose track of what you are trying to accomplish. C# or JAVA will allow you to concentrate on the engineering problem you are trying to solve rather than the underlying framework you need to solve the problem.

For something managing battery levels, I think you want to stay with C++. This is a common language (relatively), available on almost all platforms. C# is a language that is Microsoft-specific, and requires the use of a fairly heavy weight and specific CLR, which you wouldn't be able to run at or near BIOS level for example. C++ code will be able to run multi-platform and in low-level environments.
You want to stick with C++.
Good luck!

Normally you would pick one and learn it well first.
But I presume that you are doing this on your own time so you can bounce back an forth if you wish.
However, at least where I live, your current experience would suggest that you are currently working in the "embedded" programming market. Thus your next job would be in embedded programming as well. And knowledge in C++ is much more likely to be helpful in that market.

You have to constantly learn new things, in this field.
I've found that it's wisest to only learn things if there is an actual need for them -- otherwise you become a mine of useless information.
What are your goals? Is there a company or field that you want to move to that uses C#? If so, learn it to help you make the move.
If you don't have a definite, real-world aim that requires C#, then I'd say you should find out what is needed in the fields you want to move into, and learn them, instead.

I'm helping my wife out with setting up a volusion site for one of her clients. Now I'm starting to see it pop up in google ads on random sites. I'm not sure what triggered the targeting if it is searches I've done, or emails we've exchanged on gmail, but it's starting to be creepy.

I feel the same way. At first it sounded like a good idea but now that I realize how far it goes I don't like it.
Last weekend I took my wife on a getaway weekend and she wanted to access her Facebook account from my tablet. Since she had not accessed the account form that device before she was presented with a series of photographs that she had posted and tagged asking to check whose picture they were from a list of names.
She did and I thought that that was really creepy. She had just confirmed the identity of some people inadvertently through social engineering. Giving this information caused concern because she is from SE Asia, as were these people, where human rights are not as well appreciated as in some other regions of the world.
When I think about how much information she posts her life is literally an open book. It makes me wonder how many others are posting as much information about themselves, their friends and their family.
Just think that it is still just getting started. Someday there will be a profile on everyone that uses the internet from when they are very young.
How this information is used remains to be seen.

Human nature isn't going to change and technology certainly isn't.
Technology provides opportunities and people vary on their view of those.
At one time one there were no automobile accidents because automobiles didn't exist. But neither did ambulances.

Have you considered that some people no longer consider that as really being 'private'? My personal experience is there are certainly topics that are very openly discussed among young people which were never discussed when I was young.

Possibly, but a young impetuous person can put out information that will come back to bite them later in life.

Good point, but as I have said sometimes it is not in your best interest to disclose your opinion on a medium where it can hurt you in the future, especially if you live in a repressive society.

I expect that repressive societies have to stop being repressive, simply because otherwise they'd have to round up the entire new generation. They could do that, but it wouldn't take long before they'd run out of society.
It's the more serious version of the imminent death of google-based background checks (you would be unable to hire anyone if you check their backgrounds, unless you like picking the shiniest of several turds).

Oh the optimism of the young.

People change as they get older and conform to societal norms.

But their history sticks around. That's the problem. Anything you ever did or said or wrote, they will find it and they will kill you for it. Growing up and getting more conservative doesn't help - you will forever appear to be the person you once were.

FTFY - profit is the only anyone cares about. But the same thing as above applies. Not long from now, everyone will be completely unemployable due to their internet history. Do you want to hire the neo nazi, the completely ignorant, or the guy with a dozen DUI's? None of those? Too bad, they're all like that.

The fact that online profiles exist now doesn't mean that no one ever had a problem with their youthful indiscretions.

That of course isn't true. There are many things taht drive people and organizations.

I never claimed that. It's getting infinitely worse though.

Yes, there are also other forms of personal gain, including more abstract forms.
