Huh. Microchip started adding a 32 LUT FPGA to some PICs. Mark Omo decided to see how it is configured and found they internally use Yosys. Full RE details: https://mcp-clb.markomo.me/
'"Time handling is everywhere in software, but many programmers talk about the topic with dread and fear. Some warn about how difficult the topic is to understand, listing bizarre timezone edge cases as evidence of complexity. Others repeat advice like "just use UTC bro" as if it were an unconditional rule - if your program needs precise timekeeping or has user-facing datetime interactions, this advice will almost certainly cause bugs or confusing behavior. Here's a conceptual model for thinking about time in programming that encapsulates the complexity that many programmers cite online."'

Ordered all the cables and adapters to connect SMA GPS receiver to a bias-t to TNC antenna.
Antenna is N, not TNC. 🤦♂️
MicroTimes (1985): "[They] met a couple of years ago at a party ... They became good friends before they started in partnership to produce software." <https://theprintshop.club/2024/07/26/the-people-behind-the-print-shop/>
@LaineNooney, "The Apple II Age" (2023): yeah I interviewed them personally. They were a gay couple. "Both had relocated to the Bay Area ... to explore their nascent identity in what was then a vibrant locus for the gay liberation movement in the United States."
Happy Pride! 🌈
