KiCad.


In the hobby market, KiCad is already really big with >40% market share in some fabs: https://aisler.social/@aislerhq/111806804691963640

And the latest moves from Altium will promote growth in the professional market.


I came here to post this. It's improved much in the past few years. I never feel like I need to pay for Altium etc, or that my designs are limited by the software. I have some gripes, but they're not dealbreakers!


Stanford, The Fourier Transform and its applications:

Helped me through signals and systems. The lecturer is fantastic.


I use git-open [1] for this – highly recommended. It supports multiple remotes and works great with custom hosted servers out of the box.

I might have misinterpreted the session description, but “We’ll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple Silicon” is the sentence that made me post this in the first place.

Edit: Also, while I agree that the title sounds click baity, it is a quote from the description, that I wanted to highlight. Using the session title wouldn’t have done that. Guess we’ll see, when the session drops tomorrow.


I’ve been following your blog for a while and just wanted to thank you for your work. Keep it up! :)


Additionally, that tweet is wrong. BankID is an authentication system, and won’t give the 3rd party access to your bank account


One additional data point, with my DPO hat on.

BankID is both an authentication and user information service system. Swedish customers can sign up with BankID, and the beauty of the setup is that we are exposed to less private information than we otherwise would.

On login, these same customers go through BankID flow, and we get an assertation from the service that essentially tells us "login is valid for this previously assigned unique customer identifier".


Is there an RSS feed available for the blog? I cannot seem to find it mentioned anywhere on the website.


Looks like their website is built with Hugo[1], and Hugo automatically generates RSS. So you can grab it manually if they don't provide a link for it by appending index.xml in the section URL.

Here's the one for the blog: https://asahilinux.org/blog/index.xml

Might be nice if we have an actual link to the RSS somewhere in the blog though.

I'll add a link later; this was on my TODO list but I didn't get a chance to do it yet.


Link (and header <link>s) added!


I now see it on the blog root but it would be great if the actual article was also marked up with the RSS feed. This is pretty standard and I only bothered looking at the blog homepage because the writing was really good :)


Doesn't seem so but you could add an enhancement on the repo.

I think you would enjoy the http://newosxbook.com/index.php series.


This is an amazing resource! Thank you so much.



The first time I've seen the .computer TLD, interesting....


Is there any viable alternatives to PlantUML out there?

I want there to exist a simple format that I can put under version control that gives me neat looking diagrams – without requiring me to run a Java based server component.

Monodraw [0] and such are nice, but the diagrams are neither nice nor easy to change without having access to the editor.

I have embraced the blockdiag series of programs, which include seqdiag, actdiag, and nwdiag. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you learn to customize things well it works very well. There are limitations but I got so fed up with Vizio a few years back I was determined to focus on the kiss principle.

awesome! just bookmarked. i am going to try to translate some existing diagrams using that tool because the images look nice.

btw, the repo isn't showing any picture only the documentation does. that could be improved!


The diagrams on https://www.dns.cam.ac.uk/servers/reshuffle-2018.html are static images that are pre-rendered as part of the overall site build process. No need for java on the server :-)


Graphviz is pretty great for creating diagrams, though if you have specific style needs it can require a good deal of boilerplate.


PlantUML actually uses graphviz for some of the diagram types. You can also embed graphviz code verbatim in plantUML diagrams.


As far as I remember, GitLab supports rendering PlantUML diagrams.

On GitHub, you can use a trick to render the diagrams using the public PlantUML server, which works only is your diagrams can be public.

I have a script that renders the diagrams on a project which I run occasionally and it has worked ok for me.


I’ve gotten good results from MetaUML: https://github.com/ogheorghies/MetaUML. It is TeX-oriented, though.


it's amazing that after all these years diagramming on the computer still hasn't got solved. it's like todo lists and calendars. every now and then, there is something new.


It's a command line tool that renders to raster or vector formats, you don't need to run a server.
