(1/3) @trevordblack and @hollasch and I are proud/happy to announce that we’ll be releasing the alpha of the next major version of raytracing.github.io on day 1 of @Siggraph (final version by end of 2023).

You can use Blender's geometry nodes to solve physics and electromagnetic equations such as Biot-Savart law. You can calculate the magnetic field of a coil anywhere in 3D space and visualise the magnetic fields. Additionally, you can see in real-time how the magnetic field lines change as the coil gets deformed and twisted! #geometrynodes #b3d #blender3d #electronics #Engineering #Science #physics #kicad #circuits

relaxing with kicad for the first time in years. i swear its a kind of therapy, then the board arrives and you have to code stuff and it all gets undone! still, the rp2040 is *such a nice chip* to route for. I was able to do this one in almost entirely 1 layer, almost no vias.

2 absolutely amazing quotes from this: 1. "Be wrong fast" 2. "When people give you notes, when they tell you what's wrong, they're usually right. When they tell you how to fix it, they're wrong"

WHY do we divide by n-1 when computing the sample variance? I've never seen this way of explaining this concept anywhere else. Read on if you want a completely new way of looking at this.

Is C++ a good language? No. But does it try to be better with each new standard? Also no

Your CI/CD pipeline should start on the developer's laptop. If it only starts after a git push, you're slowing your team down and throwing money down the drain. CI/CD "shift left" is the lowest-hanging fruit for engineering efficiency in teams of 20+ engineers IMO.

The world is at war. A great endeavor happens in secret in New Mexico. And you are a horrible goose. (Thank you for sharing this with me @nimby)

you become a senior dev when you realize you can't rip out every piece of legacy code that annoys you and you just have to live with it

This came up in orchestra class: is anything good actually in E Major? I genuinely can't think of anything.

Today in parliament Angus Taylor talked up the benefits of Stage 3 tax cuts for a hairdresser on $60,000. But he oddly included the benefits from Stages 1 & 2. Perhaps he knows that middle-income earners do badly from Stage 3? #OffTheCharts @GrogsGamut australiainstitute.org.au/po…
