It is a tax on dreams.

For those who are confused, A0 and B0 refer to silicon steppings i.e. new tapeouts to fix silicon bugs.

Moved from Gdynia to Warsaw in pursuit of a job. Left the family and friends, made me lonely. I suppose this is down to particular company culture. I used to work at an American corporation and we often socialized after work. In the new job, while people are as fiendly as there, there's no will to meet up outside the office. Bummer.

And Colorlight i5/9 boards are made for that very application; it just so happens they're a reasonable minimal devboards for ECP5 FPGAs. I don't think right now you can get anything more capable for the price (Yeah, there are super cheap decommissioned miners with Zynq, but there's almost no I/O fanned out.)

What's the deal with mdk-sdk? It is closed source, so there must be a very good reason to use it.

One thing eludes me... We have thousands of hair follicles, how is that supposed to work in a finite amount of time?

One step at a time? Quick back of the envelope: Assuming 30k body hair follicles, at 5s/follicle that's 42 hours.

Now if you just want to do your arms this is like down to a few hours. Not so bad?

Say it takes 10 minutes to shave a beard, and you have to shave it every 3 days, in one month, that's 100 minutes. In 10 months, that's 1,000 minutes. Two years gets you 2,400 minutes, or 40 hours. And that's just a beard. Spending 42 hours to get it done once seems like a great deal on comparison!

Probably for tasks that are laborious to do, but easy to verify; not sure what percentage of such work is at hand here.

The question is why would they produce them in Italy. Most of the food on Polish shelves that can be produced in Poland, is.

Why not? It doesn't make much sense for Nestlé to have plants in every EU country.

The wikipedia page doesn't list Italy as one of the countries where they are produced.

Whereas the article and Nestlé themselves state there is a production site in Italy:

  Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.
