I can't believe the US government would allow that unless he divests from Twitter.

My only complaints are that it uses .txt instead of .md and that I haven't been able to get it to work on Mac.

Just press the "boost" button any time you want your phone to not be terrible. I'm not kidding- that's on their landing page.
I do miss having a turbo button on my computer.
I wonder if they plan to monetize the boost button.

Look at CircuitMaker [1]. It's a simplified free version of Altium and will be more accessible than KiCAD (not to bash that, KiCAD is crazy good nowadays). Maybe start with one of the existing public designs and modify it.
I have an MSEE. The only reason I learned the board design process in school is because my office mate convinced the department to let him teach the class completely out of his own generosity (he still had to TA like normal). The class was well attended, universally loved, and only ever offered once (the guy understabaly thought it was too much effort to do it again). It was a huge benefit to my career.
Board design is so accessible these days. Circuit design and debugging boards is still a steep learning curve.
It's a good time to be an embedded software engineer. Ford will need plenty for this effort, and AI still has a ways to go before it can replace SWEs that touch real hardware.
There's risk that the kernel will get forked and the fork becomes dominant, subverting the power of the linux foundation.
There's probably more linux users in China than the US, perhaps even more than US+EU.

Can you elaborate on what you mean?
You're suspicious that sweetened drinks are more harmful than advertised? Less harmful? Something else?
Aspartame metabolises into methanol. Sugar alcohols give you the squirts. Lots of them have downsides.
Allulose seems promising, I'd love to find some pop sweetened with it.
I'd take the other side of that bet.
Prior to early 2000s when sugar consumption started going down, it was probably a reasonble guess as one of the drivers of increasing disease. But since then sugar consumption has tailed off while disease rates have continued to rise, so I don't think it's plausible anymore.

My bet to flatten the chronic disease curve would be reducing n6 fat consumption, especially from foods fried in vegetable oil.
Provactively, the steep upturn in diabetes rates around 1990 conincides with a broad movement in the fast-food industry to replace animal fats like tallow with vegetable oils.

Are there any chains that still use tallow to fry food?
I love fried food and would pay a premium for high quality oil options. Most of the time you don't know what it is, at best it's peanut (five guys). I'd much prefer avocado oil or tallow.
