@jeffdech @yacineMTB @seveibar This algorithm isn't "for many boards". There's like five people on the planet that would find this useful.

@yacineMTB @seveibar This algorithm requires you use blind and buried vias. That is a significant cost increase when you go to the board house. For many boards, your cost increase from the vias outweighs the labor cost you save.

When routing PCB traces, you should dedicate one layer to horizontal, and one layer to vertical routes. This approach allows you to maximize the trace layer density, for very dense routes. You don't always have to follow horizontal vs vertical super strict, but the more you do the more traces you can get. BGAs can require exceptional considerations for this to be effective.

I discovered this account today: @BBenchoff and ngl i really thought i was being trolled for a minute

@marcjoffe There's a burnt-out husk of a building sitting on top of an unused subway tunnel in north beach.
Figure it out.

This grandiose vision of trains running everywhere under and around San Francisco would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

@fishPointer Engineers aren't going to go on strike because they're politically illiterate

2030. there is no AGI, mainly due to the hardware & computer engineers having gone on strike until software developers have “learned how to make use of what they have”. C is being taught in schools worldwide in an effort to appease the compute cartel, but to no avail

So everyone in SF is down to be polyamorous but can’t handle sharing an employee?

I'm compiling 60 kloc of C on a Power Macintosh G3. Though to be fair, I'm not using a spinning rust hard drive, I'm using a Compact Flash card I pulled out of an old digital camera.

In my initial run, which processed the first 60,000 rows, I did not find these awards—my hard drive overheated long before I could complete a full pass through the database. In a later run, which I referenced in another post, I did identify two such awards. That discrepancy is a matter of sampling size, not an issue with the query itself. I’ll now attempt a full run, which should capture the awards you found.

@techknight2 @travisgoodspeed What keycaps are you using? Awesome work.

It works really well. I'm sure it can be tweaked but not bad for the first time designing a keyboard ever

The PowerBook Duo mechanical keyboard project is coming together

It wasn't him. The guy was too spry. It sure as hell looked like him though.
And that's why I'm not in jail right now. An old guy looked too spry

We were rushing through DCA today and I think we saw Mitch McConnell. By the time it registered and my partner and I shot each other a side eye he was too far gone to fire off a good, "Hey Mitch, fuck you!"

A screencap from a political ad:

Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.

@keysmashbandit @voooooogel 256^2048 is _huge_, but nearly all can be thrown out right away with one line of code. Pre-process with the least strict linter ever. Then it's almost possible
English
@keysmashbandit @voooooogel Yeah it's computationally expensive enough to require a hydroelectric dam, but at least you don't get a game that changes.. *checks notes* ... when you look at clouds.

im shocked at how poorly the general public is receiving ai minecraft. ive never seen a work of sci-fi that predicted that people would react to powerful new technology as though it was unimpressive+ unimaginative + idiotic
