Oooh, interesting, this is the first I've heard about this QSPICE integration.

Really looking forward to @kicad.org #KiCon in a couple weeks!
“QSPICE Modeling and Simulation Tools for More Effective PCB Layout” Mike Engelhardt; Talk QSPICE® is SPICE-based, freely available circuit simulation software that includes tools for making JFET, MOSFET and diode models. This presentation describes and documents the interprocess communication of the different QSPICE processes so they can replace QSPICE schematics with KiCAD schematics to add simulation, marching waveforms, and cross probing to KiCAD. This will enable KiCAD users to integrate QSPICE elements that complement KiCAD capabilities to enhance their circuit simulation, model creation and layout experiences.

Here’s a sentence I never thought I’d say: just updated the firmware on my new bike’s derailleur…🫠

@kicad.org just a heads up, I think the website shows the wrong dates

Anyone have an old SparkFun RED-V board collecting dust in a drawer?

I'd be happy to pay you for it (including shipping). Feel free to DM me.

And a follow-up question: if you were picking between "Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition" by Patterson/Hennessy and "Digital Design and Computer Architecture, RISC-V Edition" by Harris^2 for an undergrad text, which would you pick and why?

For anybody that has read both "Computer Organization and Design" and "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" by Patterson/Hennessy, how would you describe the differences between these two books? (content, audience, etc) Are they essentially the undergrad/graduate texts respectively?

Not sure if you have space, but there are also these horizontal b2b connectors:

I just had Kalbijjim for the first time and well... white people, we've been doing pot roast wrong.
For over 400 years, from the 14th to the 18th century, Kalbijjim (Braised Beef Short Ribs) was a dish reserved exclusively for the kings and royal families of the Joseon Dynasty. Today, Kalbijjim is enjoyed by everyone, but it remains a special dish in many Korean families, often served on significant occasions such as birthdays, holidays, and weddings.

And it seems like some ECAD tools support this.

Anybody know what tool this is?

Well, this seems cursed...but now I'm curious!

Anybody ever build a board with cavities?
