We use kicad for large complicated projects. The tool works but you need to get creative (write scripts) to manage libraries and run simulations. It's also missing some RF features that you need to integrate external tools for. For sma

Yeah I tested a bit, but in the end you always feel that the game was designed around roads. I have not tested the latest DLC I think. I thought it was about airports only.

I have fond memories of simcity 1 and 2000. I currently play cities skylines but it has its cons. I hope cities skylines 2 will have less central traffic and we can zone without road. It's our best hope to a modern simcity. But this ar

If you threaten to kill people it will follow instructions better. I saw a tweet about that, but I did not try it myself.

Yeah, pulse/jack/pipewire was a bit of a mess. But since 2023, pipewire can replace both and works very well. At least with my hardware. I actually DO use arch on my personal servers and never had any problem, I was also able to a

This is interesting. I use archlinux as my daily linux driver, but for server it is not ideal as it is a bit fragile to upgrade (for example, if you have postgresql installed, an update can put a new version and you have to migrate your db

I don't really like make, but I use it in all my projects as a bootstrap. You can enter any of my project and do make help and get some help. Also make server will launch a server (static server, phoenix, rails, webpack, esbuild, whate

In french, on stage, it's "cour" (stage left) and "jardin" (stage right), meanings yard and garden.

I design sensors, currently for medical applications where I use varying signal to measure properties of a medium. Tiny electrodes in an array that are excited with AC, through different effects (capacitive...), things like density, conduct

What is "cool", (or a challenge if you design PCB like I do), is that this is not true for alternating current. For example, if you have a track that does a L on top side, and copper plane on bottom side, with an alternating signa

Do you have a recommendation for a laser printer manufacturer with no locking (third party toner, ok...) and no steganography (invisible dots)?

Yes, it is not trivial, but some color space can help, see my article about it. https://www.kuon.ch/post/2020-03-08-hsluv/

I love tailwind. I would like the addition for perceptual color palette. I do it by hand with HSLuv and I redefine the colors, but having a built in way to build light on ark and dark on light contrast that look good regardless of hue would

Usually, I never use @ in code directory, I use either stdlib or I write my own wrapper with added semantic.

I remember on my Mac SE 30, I loved playing with BW patterns in super paint. MacOS also had desktop pattern selector IIRC. I miss pattern in design in general. I'm happy if it makes a comeback.

When I was in Japan, I realized that there (compared to Europe) elevators where much more "aggressive", they bip if you hold the open button and after about a minute, the door start closing slowly even if you hold the open button

Not to brag, but I wrote an article[1] on HSLuv which is very well suited for this kind of "contrast ensuring color selection". Some new color spaces with the same purpose exist now, maybe I should update it. [1]: https:/&#x

Netflix quality is crap on Linux, I just torrent everything as it is simpler and I can use a player that allow me to put the subtitles where I want. I know I say this bluntly but I came to a point where I cannot get all this nonsense about

Many people are saying it is hard to run a mail server, but I never had any deliverability issue with mine. The most important (well hard because I needed ISP collaboration) step was to get a reverse DNS for the IP. I am sending emails from

I use fish because it has great defaults, and it is very production ready as a daily driver with scripts mostly as helpers. I'm very interested in nushell, but haven't tried it yet. It seems to have some similarities with powershe

I'd argue that compile-time is really nice exactly because it can be mixed with runtime. It takes some time to get a good grip of it, but in the end I realized that a lot of code can actually be made comptime. I agree that async is pec
