In the early days of the Rolling Stones, I've read, the boys would send Keith down to the basement with his guitar while they waited upstairs for him to return with a riff or a lick that they could build a song around.
The basement.
That's where you and I need to go.

HAPPY WORLD KARATE DAY! 🥳
On this day in 1936, masters in Okinawa held a meeting about Karate. 🥋
Originally, it was taught in secrecy…
Now they decided to popularize it! 🌏
If it wasn’t for this day, maybe Karate wouldn’t exist.
In the background I’m training kata. ✌️

Labforge's Thomas Reidemeister and Guy Martin Tchamgoue @ArrowGlobal University in the Grand Victorian Convention Center, Toronto last night. Martin won two raffles, what are the odds! Also great technology on display. Always good to see our partners and suppliers.
Noo, I was always happy to cut Amazon's distribution margin for commodity items to zero. Looks like this has hit a speed bump...

Nothing can beat the Dragon of Dojima! Well... except a computer update.
You will always have fight left in you, no matter the odds ...
Take some time off your day to watch these heartwarming highlights from the Para-Karate competition in the Female Wheelchair user category!

Never bet against thermoelectric power reactors ... we need more of these :)
We’re back, baby!
Our Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time since November 2023. All four instruments – which study plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles – are returning usable science data.

Reminds me of the Eagle disaster, Cadsoft initially had perpetual licenses, too, and then some marketing person had to present a hockeystick and RR model to their new owners at Autodesk. I don't think many will ditch Altium, though.
Why can we no longer own software? A few years ago I bought an @altium Perpetual license, this makes sense for a small company to ensure we do not lose capabilities if there is a bad year etc.
This morning I receive an email saying Altium will stop supporting perpetual licenses and that at the end of my support period the version will freeze unless I move over to time based one.
The email had standard stuff about, supporting customer needs etc. In reality they want to ensure you keep paying.
Looks like Kicad it is then for all out new developments

Sanction would suck for the folks who actually move the most volume. It took non-Chinese vendors quite a while to start considering it. This likely wouldn't have happened with the widespread adoption in China first.

Curious, but folks who know what level of abstraction to code on this might be enough. You probably won't outrun a recent Intel chip but could supply microcontrollers and other ICs. Embedded PowerPC 555 used 350nm.

Look who came out of the woodwork. I wonder if this time the hedge-fund crowd will try to front-run Twitter rather than quote-stuffing and front-running you in deep book quotes & orders of your broker :)

Para-Karate is always so inspiring!
The Para-Karate competition kicked off today with the Para-Karatekas giving an outstanding example of how much Karate can help people with impairments

Seriously, first, the Python team now the RISC-V support. Looks like serious consolidation happening at Google...
