@AnnatarTheMaia @davepl1968 "joe" was the editor I started with on Linux. Much more featureful than "pico" (which later led to "nano"), and it used to infuriate me just how many people pretended like "joe" didn't even exist!

@DJSnM I've been waiting for someone like you to explore this topic! Though I think the video needs to mumble about launching from Palmachim Airbase on a Shavit booster into a retrograde orbit... For that extra bit of fake-realism :-D

@emilykschrader One thing many in the Israel-o-sphere fail to understand, is that a lot of American talking heads are really just partisan cranks. They only appear to be on your side when its useful as a tool for attacking the other party.

@havivrettiggur Those dozen issues you scarcely understand, and all the other pro-Israel personalities are equally oblivious to, are HUGE in domestic politics inside the US. They are basically THE reason so many people aren't shedding a tear over what happened.

@robin7331 The big thing stopping me is that I don't have an endless number of shallow drawers to dedicate to single tool locations. I have gone down the Ikea Skadis rabbit hole at my workbench, however.

@AIandDesign Yeah, and less consumer-focused distributors (like electronic component suppliers) have been adding tariff info to their sites for a while now.

@JewishWarrior13 I hate when these things are circulated without details. I think it was this bill from almost a month ago: congress.gov/bill/119th-con… Looks like Tlaib actually attempted multiple amendments with a similar intent, all getting similar vote counts.

@robin7331 I didn't buy at the moment of launch, so I'm probably a few weeks away from even being able to order it. However, based on the specs and initial review videos I've seen, I'm extremely tempted.

My attempt at a "remix" of the @solderparty PCB jigs in a size and shape I find more useful. Similar dimensions to the acrylic ones @OSHStencils sells.

@AIandDesign And then our school loves to tack teacher in-service days onto the end of those!

@AlexanderVancel @tupacabra It wasn't in the theatrical cut, but its in the director's cut on the DVD release.

Whenever a normie sees the acronym "SEC" they think of sports. When I see it, I think either "single edge contact [cartridge]" or "securities and exchange commission."

@csirbell @embersunn Never got a job through one, so no idea. And corporate recruiters didn't acknowledge that I even existed until I moved to Silicon Valley. (Once I did, they all suddenly wanted to reach out all the time.)

@embersunn This was a huge point of frustration early in my career. My best results came from career fairs and direct Emails, circumventing the "blind filter" in ways that could only work with small businesses.

Decided to order one of these on a whim, as I'm really curious how useful it will be: adafruit.com/product/6005 Right now I use a much more expensive TotalPhase product, whose software feels dated and seriously suffers due to using outdated GUI libraries without HiDPI support.

I probably said this before, but I can't recommend the @RobinsTools Pixel Pump and SMD Magazines enough! They've massively improved my hand assembly process, and I couldn't fathom not using them. Passives went from the slowest and most annoying part, to the quickest!

I mean the real code has to be like 10x as long, with the calls to the various message box and indeterminate progress bar APIs, but functionally it checks out.
