Projects that proclaim themselves to be “beautiful” are off putting imo. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, as in a bit full of ourselves aren’t we? I’m curious if others have this reaction as well?

This sounds exactly like a pcb project I have in mind, plus a bunch of ddr3. How hard is it starting from almost zero? I imagine diy isn’t realistic, how much does design of such a board cost?

One could imagine some games require captures, castles and en passants to reach, so maybe in the general case, but devil indeed. I thought I recognized Tromp from Equihash work and indeed same person.

Some people like being martyrs and enjoy their drama. Lack of head count? It’s a business problem, a management problem, not my problem.

Can confirm, recently went from a great manager who always had our backs and celebrated our successes to one who offers zero support, plenty of blame and zero recognition. I’ve been surprised how devastating it’s been.

I share this pain, but believe it or not, it’s actually much better than everyone doing their own thing all willy nilly.
