I have the dual problem of 1.HEADLINE: I've got a HiDPI notebook and suffer when I have to connect it to a common 1080p screen.

They aren't "essentially" particle accelerators, they are full-blown accelerators, linear accelerators, specifically.

I'd suggest "Hardware". It is niche, but without it, it really does not send any signals that Open Hardware jobs are welcome. A hardware designer definitely is not a "Programmer". (Edited for clarity)

You mentioned open hardware in an answer to another comment, but I see no obvious category for a hardware developer in the menu! "Programmer" or "designer" do not quite fit the bill.

I half agree with you. It surely shows the massive complexity of large software, for sure. On the other hand, the tool should help prevent these issues. Altium has visible exceptions and lots of memory leaks that are much easier to prevent

One of the first environments I ever programmed was Delphi. Had lots of fun with it, and it had a special place in my heart... Fast forward 20 years, and I'm a hardware developer using Altium a lot. As some here may be aware, Altium is

I just wanted to add that this is more than a nice feature for the security conscious. Attacks duplicating a phone number precisely to take control of a WhatsApp account are very real and somewhat common, and TFA would go a long way on prev

Believe me, the decorative pattern is even worse. It consists of an alternating horseshoe-like pattern, only square, so anyone following it would not only zig-zag, but alternate back and forth. Of course, blind people are not robots and wou

I don't think you understood what GP said: he is using Google Photos, which searches his private collection. Not Google images. I personally find Google Photos usually helpful and use it all the time to locate specific pictures. I do n

So, we may finally have found a good completely legal application for Bitcoin and blockchain contracts? A blockchain-based rating system could be the killer app here.

People really rely on whatsapp here. Phone calls are becoming rare. Also the messages implies that is not really a lending, just to pay someone else and the money will be transferred soon enough.

I don't believe it could be done by the thousands, it would be way more targeted: You'll need to be next to the actual phone number user when you request, and the victim will receive the SMS. Also, the victim would be shut out of

It does not need to be a modal form - a notification message, embedded in the the chat log, just before a "Hey, could you send me some money", could make some people think twice before transferring: "Wow, he is asking me in e

And for a welding operator to become a physical therapist is an even larger leap. Also, there's also a lot of resistance (and prejudice) in going from blue-collar to pink-collar, partly because care and health services are seem as femi

I assure you it makes a lot of sense and is practiced by several labs from around the world. Hardware is not software - you don't simply compile it in your computer. You don't pay other company to just do just give support to you:

I work in the field (another particle accelerator) and I'll tell you outright that a non-commercial license is a no-no for research institutes. We MUST be able to license the project for commercial parties to produce them, lest we have

I agree that it has wide room for improvements, but I still find it very comparable to Eagle, for example. But it is in a steady improvement route, while operating in a much harder segment to attract the resources they need than most free&#

Not every discussion has a winner and I'm not Kicad's lawyer. I'm just honestly adding to the discussion, not trying to "win" a debate or anything.

It surely isn't, but is a commercial product that get much less heat then Kicad.
