I noticed that redwoodworld.co.uk had saplings for sale. Very intriguing.

This bring back memory of my younger self playing with the BASIC Interpreter cartridge in my old Atari 800.

With this setup, you can...

* create a BASIC program right at the command prompt

* execute instructions to read and write to mass storage.

* debug your BASIC program at the command prompt

* direct access to memory addresses via peek and poke commands

Designing circuit boards is not than describing a collection of electronic components and how each component's pins are connected together.

For circuit board design we are missing * PCB layer management

* copper dimensioning

* track management

* Design rules management

* many others....

At best, I would describe this tool as a vim for schematic capture in its current iteration.

One question to the founders, what are the real pain points for you that atopile are relieving?

I got a X-T1 about 6 months ago from eBay for around 250€. It does a wonderful job of films simulation. Still very surprised that a 10year old camera can take such wonderful pictures.

LOL. There should be at least a commment from someone trying out a 2year old SO answer that did not fix it. :-)

I guess a money saving hack would be to string everything together using underscores :-)

The thing is that for problems that are mildly complex, it is rarely that it is solved by a single person. So getting a person to solve complex problem under interview conditions is totally unrealistic. If they are really using this as a filter, they are really doing themselves a disservice.

That would suggest that to get value, you would already have a network of folks that has good synergies with you, right? Are the vouches private between the parties or is that information socialised on the feed? There might be value in this type of transparency.

For layman, can someone explain how much power are the lights emitted? I mean can it be used to burn wood, or the cut through sheets of metal.

Can roadside assist help if your batteries are exhausted?

Merry Christmas!

The gem of this story is the author is not running unit test in what most folks understand a unit test is. As he also pointed out, he is executing the tests on target so it is more of an integration tests rather than unit tests. In the test that he is doing, it brings in new categories of potential faults. ie scheduling issues, memory constraints, interrupts servicing,

If the OP had said private projects, I would agree but he mentioned private tasks. So I imagined him using the tool for daily chores and such. but I think your statement make more sense.

or healthier

Who would you escalate to if you run out of capacity to wash your dishes in your current sprint? :-)

Joking aside, how would you use this tool for your private tasks?

The audience must be factored in when crafting the story. Because it dictates aspects of it. the language used, the embellishments added/removed, delivery method, the actors etc must be carefully crafted.

Some stories are short and straight to the point.

I had a colleague where if the analogies are used to as part of the story told, the message is not full understood by him.

As I load up the website, it dithers for a moment before the full image comes up. I love this effect...Have I gone full circle from my dialup days? I think I have...

No joke. I saw a job advert classifying bank holidays as a perk. Job was in a western European country.

But what is it that you want to do with these retro computers beside playing Wolf3D? As you mentioned even the most basic of RPi can run the pants of the Atari ST machines, so it is hardly a fair usage of the computer if you want to do modern tasks.

Sadly, physical calculators will soon be extinct as it will be replaced with calc app on the mobile phones.

For some reason, I imagined it would use its eight appendages and throw things like you see in a cartoon. Maybe I am watching too many cartoons. :-)

>> is banned from volunteering at their local soup kitchen every evening.

Is that a real thing in the US?

I always wondered how far some companies will go to enforce this.

For example if my second job is as a professional actor in the local musical production, would all my creative IP and earnings belong to my main job? Maybe this example is too far remove from reality.

I reckon that it's all done with contractors and gig workers. Its the uber way of running their business.

For me, what would really help in my typing is to improve my accuracy as my most used key is the backspace key. Beside more practice, any hints?

Just realised the my left thumb is not even hitting any keys. It is left idling.

Great work! Not sure if it is only on my setup (Chrome and Win10), but it feels a bit snappier with a faster response time.

Shameless promotion to my twitter handle for retro tech adverts. I've been posting those amazing old tech adverts out of magazines 90s, 80s and older.

Stop by if you are on twitter.

As @loudouncodes mentioned, no easy way but to network and to market yourself. But you also need to consider which aspect of yourself you want to sell as the side gig.

* Would you write a book to impart your knowledge to the readers?

* Would you sell your physical hours in delivering work products?

* Would you sell your advice via consulting?

Many ways to cut this fruit, and still have it taste good. Best of luck on your ventures.

It always intrigue me that eInk has not made bigger inroads into the digital signage market, especially for static images.

Colour signage sell more products than Black and White? Probably.
