What's the use case of 20 nm chips? I understand value in 3D printers for electronics, but what is unlocked at that level? Replacements would require design files, so I'm thinking more of what is unlocked at 20 nm for open-source designs or at hobbyist creations

I have some friends that work in a variety of positions on older boats in the maritime industry, and are quite skeptical about upgrades to drive by wire systems.
They also generally aren't technically advanced, so I'm wondering what the extent of training they'd consume outside of highly technical roles - if it is really value adding, or your typical corporate security training "don't click phishing links".

> "Snapchat opens directly to a camera — rather than a feed of content — and has no traditional public likes or comments. While we will always have more work to do, we feel good about the role Snapchat plays in helping close friends feel connected, happy and prepared as they face the many challenges of adolescence."
Snapchat has a long history of accusations regarding the damage to youth. It feels like there isn't much winning for these companies. I also wonder the effectiveness of going direct to social media companies, versus having the government pass laws about restricting social media for youth under a certain age.

Swift is such a delightful language to use, well suited for general application development. It's awesome to see it gaining traction outside of the cocoa ecosystem. If you haven't given it a fair chance yet, I would highly recommend you do!

I get what the author is saying, but I write down ideas to delegate to myself for later exploration. I find search is often good enough to get to what I'm looking for within a couple of queries, and a general read through of the collection makes for a great diving board when it comes to getting started on brainstorming
inspectAR | Software Engineer (C# (Unity)) | ONSITE (Newfoundland, Canada)
We build Augmented Reality tools for circuit boards. It's fundamentally changing the way electrical engineers operate in the lab, it improves throughput at assembly houses, and enables smart evaluation boards like never before.
We are looking for eager, motivated people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's challenges and work with others to advance the rate of hardware development. We're a team of five electrical/computer engineer founders, with four of us working deep on the technology. We're looking for our first couple of new hires to join in primary working on a Unity codebase, and improve/create new underlying plugins. We are a remote company with an office in Newfoundland, Canada (GMT-3:30) where product is built, and in San Francisco at the Autodesk Residency Center on Pier 9 (GMT-8) where business operations happen.
I'm Nick, our COO, and I sit in our Newfoundland, CA office. Drop us a short introductory email at info@inspectar.com. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
Working for some time in the valley as an east coast Canadian native, I absolutely agree about peanut pay. That being said, in my experience it feels like the quality of life is still higher in Canada. In the valley, it feels around every corner there is a landlord/private healthcare/other event that wants to drain finances "because tech worker". I returned to Canada, and despite a lower salary it feels so much more sustainable.
I’m playing with the idea of a trees4travel nonprofit. Eco-conscious individuals or business that requires employees to travel can quickly using some basic information make a donation to plant trees/take other climate change action in order to offset the impact of that flight - in an effort to become carbon neutral/negative.
LMK if this is interesting at all, anyone is free to partner or run with it - whatever to help the climate
