I lived an hour away (as a foreigner). Absolutely loved it, and would still be there if I didn't have to return home for sick family.

I'm from New Zealand and lived there for 4 years. Same experience. Never saw anything crazy, didn't even know anyone who had. I used to fly up to LA and SF often, and saw crazy shit up there often. Mexico is safer than the US - so

Sorry replying to my own comment here, but this needs to be said. THANK YOU KiCAD developers. Yes it has issues but I am very grateful, comments above aside.

As much as I do like KiCAD, and use it professionally, the UX at times is literally a comical design-by-committee dumpster fire. I gave this a spin, and it's so refreshingly the opposite of that. My main barrier to using it for my next

This is so frustrating to hear. I have a bin full of ARM single board computers, and while the hardware on all of them is pretty much up to the task, the software support from all the vendors has been terrible. I'm in the process of sw

The supply chain goes like this... plants -> animal -> human consumption. Yes you can rewrite overnight to plants -> humans. But on this topic I'm better off talking to the wall of bricks next to me than the HN audience

It's basically impossible to post anything of this sort on HN without being downvoted to oblivion. The skeptical, critical thinking skills of the audience here don't come close to matching the general technical ability.

Not terribly positive comments here, but I think people are missing the point. This is an unsolved problem, or at least a problem not solved well. Any efforts in this space should be encouraged. I'm not sure we can trust the main vendo

Does the quantum tunneling have a lower limit on node size? This is being developed it seems to keep a 1um fab competitive, but does it also apply to smaller nodes?

Shackletons boat jouney by Frank A Worsley [1] is the single best book I've ever read. If you like reading about Antarctica, adventure, survival etc, I believe it's as good as it gets. Edit - the author was on the trip next to Sha

Good on him. It's worth promoting. And going to extremes is almost never the right answer, so enjoying meat on a special occasion with friends seems sensible.

My children and 5 and 3 and have (almost) never eaten meat, eggs or dairy. Tested regularily in a world class health system and they are stellar in every way. B12 supplimentation is pretty trivial.

I've spent a bunch of time travelling through these places for work. I'm vegan and surprise surprise there is almost nothing I can eat. All the veges have either meat or dairy or both. Good thing is often they will have a tin of b

It wasn't lost on me when I was working on a contract for a very large secretive tech company that if I leaked info that I had it would affect the share price. I didn't, but it made me realise how improbable it is that these compa

Throwaway account. Proceed with caution. This board was the only one which fitted our requirements for a commercial product. We actually found it more stable than for instance the people on the Armbian forums. But in the end we've move
