Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

But neither are you, one hopes, part of a warmongering propagandists state like Russia.

And it seems you feel no affinity for ordinary Ukrainians or Russians, who are getting the s*it blown out of them.

Countries with failed governments always try to blame it on someone else and have a war with them.

The Falklands have never ever been Argentina's.

Yes, he will destroy the SNP *completely* and with it the myth of 'scottish independence'.

Another failed government blaming someone else.

No.

Fortunately all the important stuff happens before we supply the narrative and pride ourselves on how rational we are.

Are you related to Shooter Jennings?

Better you don't know her full name. If you met her, or her sister, she would terrify you.

That's a 5 minute drive from here. It's kinda upscale compared to our tiny village, a lot like the West Side of NYC. Whole Foods, expensive restaurants, good coffee and pastries.

I know some people who mostly work from home, overpaid apple/google types, who live there, emigrants from Silicon Valley. It's gotten expensive. The days of a $315 per month flat are over.

What really changed this part of town was the free private busses that pick up and drop off SV workers. Remote work is the next trend.

Software is better suited to remote work than electronic design, in my opinion. The collaborative github model ditto.

I fear not. Certainly not in the 'urban jungle'

I go into the office two days a week. No big deal since it's on the edge of town and a couple of blocks from the grocery store, gym, Home Depot, etc so I'd have to go in anyway. The f2f conversations sometimes yield more than Slack or a Zoom meeting would but they're not essential.

Years ago as I transitioned from hardware to software that was my realization. All I need is a computer, no test gear, no hardware, no tools, and so forth. I futz around with Arduinos for relaxation but for the last twenty or thirty years everything I've done is sort of imaginary as far as the real world goes, just electrons on a screen.

If nobody's looking, I fail to see the point in picking it up.

It means you won't step in it. That's the main thing.

Typical. I see no litter signs too, but no bins. Can't enforce a rule impossible to follow.

I thought that's where they all went? Keeps them off the trail.

I think the real difference between hardware and software design is how easy it is to fix software bugs. Sometimes you just put the fixed code online.

The easier it is to fix bugs, the less care is exercized in preventing them. Hardware bugs aren't so easy to fix.

And collaboration doesn't work as well for hardware.

It will be interesting to watch flux.ai, an attempt to apply software style tools to hardware design.

I've seen a guy with 10 dogs, it's surprising none of them beat each other up. I guess they work out which combinations work.

Poop smeared everywhere appeals to you?

Probably so. It's a common syndrome.
