I noticed that redwoodworld.co.uk had saplings for sale. Very intriguing.

Yes I agree.

I love Giant Sequoias and have fantasised many times about purchasing a sapling to guerilla plant in my local woods. I've never quite found the perfect spot to do it though.

If you'd like more of a challenge, I bought seeds from here: https://superlativetrees.com/

This bring back memory of my younger self playing with the BASIC Interpreter cartridge in my old Atari 800.

With this setup, you can...

* create a BASIC program right at the command prompt

* execute instructions to read and write to mass storage.

* debug your BASIC program at the command prompt

* direct access to memory addresses via peek and poke commands

Designing circuit boards is not than describing a collection of electronic components and how each component's pins are connected together.

For circuit board design we are missing * PCB layer management

* copper dimensioning

* track management

* Design rules management

* many others....

At best, I would describe this tool as a vim for schematic capture in its current iteration.

One question to the founders, what are the real pain points for you that atopile are relieving?

I got a X-T1 about 6 months ago from eBay for around 250€. It does a wonderful job of films simulation. Still very surprised that a 10year old camera can take such wonderful pictures.

LOL. There should be at least a commment from someone trying out a 2year old SO answer that did not fix it. :-)

I'm sure at least one of the "[here], [here], and [here]" links resolved to SO.

And another to experts-exchange.com of course.

And a few ones from people whose problems are so dissimilar from the original bug that the only way they could have arrived at the thread is the 57th page of Google search for the word "problem".

I guess a money saving hack would be to string everything together using underscores :-)

The thing is that for problems that are mildly complex, it is rarely that it is solved by a single person. So getting a person to solve complex problem under interview conditions is totally unrealistic. If they are really using this as a filter, they are really doing themselves a disservice.

That would suggest that to get value, you would already have a network of folks that has good synergies with you, right? Are the vouches private between the parties or is that information socialised on the feed? There might be value in this type of transparency.

Exactly yeah, so for instance you can see people who recommend you + the people they recommend to expand your network. I totally get the transparency thing (coveted contacts and all) but I think its more about helping people out in their career, so its gotta be public

For layman, can someone explain how much power are the lights emitted? I mean can it be used to burn wood, or the cut through sheets of metal.

Assuming this calculation is correct, from my experience you can cut plastic and wood: https://chaos.social/@jaseg/111697386931635059

But it won't even mark steel unless you pre-prepare the steel with absorbent inks, and definitely won't cut it.

It's less power than a phone flashlight.

But in laser form. Does that change things much?

Being laser in itself is afaik less of a factor, but being IR and a very small spot are more so.

Now this might be my layman knowledge, but "being a laser" seems to imply "a very small spot", no?

No, not really. Laser beams have a width and that can be adjusted. As it comes out of the fiber, it forms an expanding cone which you would then modify with a lens (https://content.coherent.com/legacy-assets/literature/white_...)
