Looks like ASML started planting the seeds of what eventually became EUV in the early 1990s. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28266708

Sounds like just another day in the consumer electronics world … Were you working on electrical systems or mechanical? How did the switch to software engineering go for you / what made you switch?

Inspiring story. What is the barrier of entry for selling gadgets on Tindie? Do you need to get FCC certifications for example?

Out of curiosity, what feature of Altium was holding you from switching to KiCad until now?

I re-read this classic article on the explosions on Hiroshima and Nagasaki from time to time. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1946/08/31/hiroshima

Unfortunately all ECAD fools are quite terrible when it comes to usability, even the commercial ones (Altium, Cadence, Mentor and their ilk). I expect that KiCad’s design is influenced with what’s “standard” in the industry as far the UX of

Congrats to the KiCad Team! KiCad 6 is a huge leap from 5.x. For anyone curious, here is a good review of improvements in KiCad 6 : https://techexplorations.com/blog/kicad/kicad-6-review-new-a...

If you don’t mind me asking, what EDA tool are you guys using at the moment at Oxide for your motherboards?

Cool! What is the tech stack behind it if you don’t me asking?

You guys are using y.js to implement the world right? Are CRDTs commonly used in the video games space? And if you don’t mind explaining, why did you go with y.js over Automerge?

Have you tried with 5.99? I think it supports svg imports onto copper layers now.

Neat idea, here is a few suggestions: - you should post the solder mask and paste layers. Can’t review any component soldering issues without those. - part assembly layer, same deal as above. - stackup. You would need this to review anythin

This is an aside but: what made you switch away from hardware engineering? And what are you doing nowadays?

This looks wonderful, thank you! I think statistical estimation of large projects is an overlooked area.

This is a little different than what the OP is asking but - I programmed an Xbox controller so that its buttons can act as left and right mouse buttons. This helps relieve fatigue in my right hand when I am working on mouse-intensive CAD wo

Curious - why did you get out of FPGA development, and what do you work on now? I have anecdotally heard of FPGA/RTL devs leaving the field mostly because of the poor tooling etc.

The operation manual of the original IBM PC from 1981 is a very good example. Personal plug: I wrote an article about writing specs a while back. I use the IBM PC spec as an example, so you might find my article useful. https://i
