I am eternally grateful to Dr. Kurtz for his work on BASIC. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that BASIC was my first foray into programming as a young teen, and it sparked my love for programming. RIP

I'd love a tool like this for PCB design/layout

First thing my mind went to as well, I’m sure this is already being worked on, I think it would be more impactful than even this.

why do you think that?

Far more people / companies are designing PCBs than there are designing custom chips.

I think the real value would be in ease of use. I imagine the top N chip creators represent a fair bit of the marginal value in pushing the state of the art forward. E.g., for hobbyists or small shops, there's likely not much value in tiny marginal improvements, but for the big ones it's worth the investment.

Because they like to sow division.

I watched the demo for a comment made above, and it looks like the gem can do what you're talking about:

We have a lot of dumb laws on the books, but somehow we allow demonstrably reckless drivers to keep their license—sad times.

The magazine chugged along for decades before changing its identity and recipe to appease a small group of non-customers. It's no surprise it's going away.

Yeah, I've used this for the past couple of years and will do so again this year. It's solid.

Yeah, strange behavior in Firefox on Mac.

Firefox on windows as well. As soon as I try to drag it, the piece gets much larger and moves left and up from where the mouse is.
