The Boldport kits were designed with PCBmod-e ( https://pcbmode.com/ ), which was created by Boldport's founder Saar Drimer.

TopoR is excellent... And the only auto router I found to actually work. I use it along with Diptrace (which is also Russian developed).

Well said. You need Tableau/PBI to tell the story of data, and distribute it to stakeholders. They aren't going to read a 10 page Word document of your findings... Maybe in 1999 they did. Looked at another way, you'd never pu

Sigh..another program that requires you to maintain your certificate by doing PDUs. This is like a 90s dark pattern that still creeps up from time to time. I can't get behind any organization that threatens to take education away from

Agreed, and I think some authors need to be more humble. If a construct or design choice exists, its far more likely someone (or a team) spent hundreds more hours intentionally reasoning for its existence in the first place; over your passi

This is what I do too... But I'm debating dropping my VPS and self hosting with TinyCore Linux (non-persistent OS) and H20.

I keep this in mind too when cancelling plans or trips in order to do 'important' corporate work. The business will never remember you did a day from now; but your partner sure as hell will.

Because big business is great at selling us more than we really need (can consume). We are buying full loaves and rarely using them up. This is likely by design too... Margins are probably higher for the seller this way. So the website help

I think the big point missing in all the comments that suggest linking to the db file and distributing is that it's read-only. Perhaps this is the intent too, but often Excel books are shared for other people's input /additi

Going to piggyback off this comment to ask - does anyone know a lightweight GUI tool to edit/modify SharePoint Lists? Only way I ever found was through the browser which is painful on large data.

Awesome share... A real original website designer!

It's almost like these were trained using Byte magazine covers! Amazing tech.. I'm blown away.

I loved this article and explored the rest of this blog. It really is top notch!

This is a good question. I sometimes ponder how those who write military software such as surface to air missile guidance may feel. When they started Computing Science did they have any idea they'd land up writing such code??

Came here to mention this. Great idea for website however. Perhaps one of the most disappointing cliffhanger ends was the TV show "Startup".

Hrmm what distro? I haven't looked in sometime, maybe something changed (Slackware here). My understanding was static linkage in boot related folders was to minimize chance of accidentally losing a library/dependency and breaking

Both /bin and /sbin are generally statically linked. So you're not wrong; but primarily sbin is intended to mean "executed by root" above all else.

This is always the part I'm interested in too, and can't help but believe the initial user base is always faked with a few hundred bots, and slowly phased out as real people stumble in. There's no way anything starts just wit

My thought too. Appreciate the authors effort; but given how tight all the numbers are along with the 5 tests, if I were the experimenter I'd feel like this was a big waste of my time and inconclusive.

And I think these comments summarize why consultants like Accenture, KPMG, McKinsey, etc survive today. They are for leaders who want to shift strategy risk away from their own responsibility. Whether a strategy succeeds or fails; consultan
