You know, I don't really want a job. I just need money. I don't want to make things for people who are only wanting said things because they themselves need money.

I don't really want anything except to stay alive and do whatever the hell I want at any given moment, and I never know what I want ahead of time.

I don't want to run a business either, because that involves being a salesman, and I hate to bug people.

I'd be completely fine if I didn't have to worry about money.

Jeg har alltid lurt på om varedeklarasjonen inkluderer lake, kraft eller liknende. Svaret er at det kommer an på om en normalt ville forvente at den ble spist eller ikke. Jeg skulle helst sett at varedeklarasjonene så ut som de gjorde i dette eksempelet, med én deklarasjon for produktet i sin helhet, og en for den delen man normalt spiser. Jeg har ingen anelse om hvorvidt varedeklarasjonen til sylteagurkene mine er for selve agurkene eller ikke, og det er litt viktig informasjon for tiden.

@clacke Yeah, but there's 32 times less wiring between sections of the chip...

Computer games share one major trait with toys: They're very gimmick-based. The main value proposition for a game is often similar to that of a toy: There is some kind of trick you can perform with it allegedly opens up a world of possibilities.

(Continued) It looks like I could use a plain old awl to make a dent in the aluminium panel before I drill a pilot hole. Aluminium is soft, so it hopefully shouldn't require a ton of force. I think I'll need to draft and print a template and then strike the awl through the paper to mark the centers of the holes. I ordered digital calipers on eBay, so it shouldn't be a problem to make a drawing that matches the dimensions of the front panel.

(Continued) I think I could tolerate upward of +/- 2mm, but that's gonna look bad. I don't want a row of LEDs that doesn't even attempt to run in a straight line.

(Continued) I'll need to drill 9 additional rear holes, all of them circular, for the mini-jack connectors. On the front, I'll need 4 holes for peak meter LEDs and one hole/slot for the power switch.

I wish I had my old drill press. I think it's sitting in a storage unit that's a bit hard for me to access at the moment, and I don't know if it's in good condition, so I'm gonna have to do this with a handheld drill. I need a means of creating a lead hole in a precise spot, to within +/- 1 mm.

I ordered the parts for the surround mixing box that I'm making, including a 105x150x55 black aluminium chassis with tracks for holding a PCB. I had originally planned to buy a special drill bit to drill a 12-14 mm circular hole for the micro-USB connector, but I decided that it would be better to make a slot by drilling several holes and filing away the material between them.

Jeg gjetter at de etablerte partiene på borgerlig side i Sverige er ca. like lite interessert i å danne koalisjon med Sverigedemokraterna som de rødgrønne partiene er.

Stefan Löfven erklærer blokkpolitikkens død. Da er altså Sverige kommet dit at de, i desperasjonen etter å unngå en koalisjon med Sverigedemokraterna ønsker å samarbeide med partier på borgerlig side for å danne flertallsregjering.

@clacke This is typically done for differential pairs, but could also be clock + data... The main issue is the central clock... Clock signals in of themselves are fine.

@clacke Oh, carrying a clock signal along isn't a big issue if that's needed. Modern circuit design software can maintain equal trace lengths. You could easily run pairs of wires everywhere.

@clacke I've been thinking about how one would design serial computers for a little bit. I know enough about digital logic to pull off a basic CPU design. Not one that would be competitive in 2018, but it would be able to run programs, at least. So I think about it from time to time. How would you perform a computation on a serial stream of data... Perhaps you'd need to parallelise it temporarily for the computation itself and then output another serial stream. I don't know.

TFW when most of the components for your electronics project can be sourced from your parts drawers. Feels good man.

Sverigedemokratene har havnet i vippeposisjon så det holder. Det vil ikke være mulig for den svenske regjeringen å få gjennom vedtak i Riksdagen uten å ha SD med seg. Noen blir nødt til å samarbeide med dem.

@bithive Last one should say "culture" in the singular. I was typing a bit too fast, lol.
