More fools them. Britain was in no shape to defend itself in 1939 let

Poland as an independent country hadn\'t even existed for 100 odd years
prior to Versailles. Figuring Britain had their back the Poles got
pigheaded, a national trait. Arguably Poland would have had a much
better war had it allied with Germany.

My ex and I had some fun times in the little room at the top of a tower in
an old Victorian. The entry was sort of a trap door so we wouldn\'t be

I knew a man who specialized in Victorian restoration. He made a living
but it was mostly a labor of love. Had he accounted for all the hours he
put in and paid a reasonable hourly rate you\'d have to be Bill Gates to

Looks like an invasion from the luddite Mozzies. Blow it up.

Yes. A ranch style house with an astroturf lawn and a carport and an
above-ground portable swimming pool would be much nicer.

It would beat that ugly piece of plastic from the god botherers. Still, looks easy to snipe at.

That house is on my favorite street, one block of Cumberland between
Sanchez and Noe. It\'s beautiful and bizarre. Near Zuckerberg\'s house.

My kid\'s middle name is Noe. We named her for three San Francisco
streets.

The streets called N, O, and E?

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.

They put it in a bag, then leave it sitting on the trail for someone
else to do something about it. I see that frequently. Maybe they intend
it pick it up on the way out, but after several days it is still there.

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

No, they hang it on tree branches, because there are no doggie bins for
miles.

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

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.

Since John Larkin seems to think that fiddling with a circuit until it more of less works is \"electronic design\", his opinion isn\'t worth much.

You have to put together real hardware before you can be sure that it is going to work, but if you known what you are doing, it mostly does.
