I lived an hour away (as a foreigner). Absolutely loved it, and would still be there if I didn't have to return home for sick family.

I'm from New Zealand and lived there for 4 years. Same experience. Never saw anything crazy, didn't even know anyone who had. I used to fly up to LA and SF often, and saw crazy shit up there often.

Mexico is safer than the US - some will find that unpaletable. Get over it.

Sorry replying to my own comment here, but this needs to be said. THANK YOU KiCAD developers. Yes it has issues but I am very grateful, comments above aside.

As much as I do like KiCAD, and use it professionally, the UX at times is literally a comical design-by-committee dumpster fire.

I gave this a spin, and it's so refreshingly the opposite of that.

My main barrier to using it for my next project is this - am I going to get 100 hours into a project then hit a brick wall and have to port back over to KiCAD. If I had some confidence around this I think it'd give it a shot.

A gallery on the website of projects completed with it would probably do the trick.

Seriously pleased this project is a thing. In 2020 there isn't really an excuse to be using software with such a poor UI/UX as KiCAD

This is so frustrating to hear.

I have a bin full of ARM single board computers, and while the hardware on all of them is pretty much up to the task, the software support from all the vendors has been terrible. I'm in the process of switching to Nvidia hoping it would be the exception.

If anyone from Nvidia is reading this, please do everything you can to convince the bosses to allocate the resources required to support a linux machine properly. It takes much more than it seems.

These devices are designed to be in production for a long time, so heavy investments now on the software support are going to give value for a long time. Rather than dragging the feet and slowly getting it right over time and devaluing the product in the process.

Fingers crossed!!

The supply chain goes like this... plants -> animal -> human consumption. Yes you can rewrite overnight to plants -> humans.

But on this topic I'm better off talking to the wall of bricks next to me than the HN audience

It's basically impossible to post anything of this sort on HN without being downvoted to oblivion.

The skeptical, critical thinking skills of the audience here don't come close to matching the general technical ability.

Brilliant, love it. If only there were more vegan recipes

Not terribly positive comments here, but I think people are missing the point. This is an unsolved problem, or at least a problem not solved well. Any efforts in this space should be encouraged. I'm not sure we can trust the main vendors to innovate, and starting off with Kicad makes 100% sense to me at this stage.

If this is the first rung of the ladder and it's all up from here, good luck - I'm sure we all hope you nail it.

A good comment here about placement - I hope that this approach can grow to adjust placement to some degree, even if not complete placement control.

Does the quantum tunneling have a lower limit on node size?

This is being developed it seems to keep a 1um fab competitive, but does it also apply to smaller nodes?
