    This is cool, seems like a next gen cadquery, which was really cool to see.

    K, but if these are experts that literally do not exist in the US, why are the salaries not higher than median? It wasn't meant to fill junior level positions. This program was mea…

    Things feel like the 2008/2009 time period for hiring, but stock valuations and earnings are still extremely high, which is kinda odd. It feels so strange right now for employment …

    This year, I started actively day trading S&P 500 because of all the volatility. Maybe its biased because I have been staring at charts more diligently than in the past, but IMHO y…

    Makes me remember some of the days I had in my career. There were a couple really interesting datacenter things I learned by having to deploy tens of thousands of servers in the 20…

    Are there any alternatives these days? Or just that you weren't expecting to have systems boot off the network?

    Depends on your budget, but the JouleScope [1] can measure down to half a nanoamp. Absolutely amazing piece of kit for the price ($1,000). They also have a python library [2] so yo…

    I don't think that they should have TSMC do everything, but being coupled at the hip with the foundry business has not been, and is still not a winning strategy. If the foundry bus…

    I think that Pats strategy is what the fab needs to do to be successful. However, I think the fab and design should be separate companies, with separate accountability and goals/ob…

    Neat! How is this different than domaintools/farsight [1]? Passive DNS [2] has been in my toolbox for 15+ years, and is invaluable for security research / threat intelligence. Know…

    Software companies have focused on efficiency, which is why the cost of building software has steadily decreased over the last 30-40 years. From my perspective a lot of that is bec…

    I sold my GM truck because of how horrible the head unit was. I am still driving my 8 year old f150 because the infotainment system works fairly well.
