The new UNBRK HEX boards have arrived! An improved version of the UNBRK, this ultra-compact prototyping board for QFP48/64/100/144 MCUs has wider trace geometry for better low-power performance, provisions for header pins, and an improved, unique 0201 prototyping grid to experiment with components reclaimed from . released under the CERN-OHL-S and supported by @nlnet and @NGIZeroNGI Zero open source funding, you can find its repository at repo.unbina.re/unbinare/UNBRK_

Two UNBRK HEX prototyping boards are shown, One demonstrates the topside of the board with a footprint that accommodates QFP48, QFP64, QFP100 and QFP144 MCUs and four rows of breakout pads. The other demonstrates the backside of the UNBRK HEX, with its unique 0201 prototyping grid.

One of my student employees flagged for me that you can no longer see full metadata records on WorldCat without an account. It looks like you can only see title, author, publisher, year, format, language. Not even ISBN.

What gives, OCLC???

@djangonews is a wonderful resource for the community. I'm always excited to read the latest edition. This week's included some love for django-antipatterns.com

The site includes extra context on JsonResponse(safe=) which clarifies why it's important. Thankfully, browsers have gotten better to the point where this feature (and antipattern) can be removed!

Peter Steinberger is a great example of how AI is catnip very specifically for middle-aged tech guys. they spend their 20s and 30s writing code, burn out or do management stuff for a decade, then come back in their late 40s/50s and want to try to throw that fastball again. Claude Code makes them feel like they still got it.

RE: mastodon.social/@tofugolem/116

I read The God Delusion and marvelled at how many times one can rewrite the same point to ram it down your throat. I don't think I finished it - I got the point.

When I was in teacher training, I accompanied a group of teenage girls to a science seminar for young people in a theatre in Oxford. Dawkins was the headliner, and was on last.

He. Was. So. Bloody. Boring.

He didn't give a shit. Awful, monotone delivery of PowerPoint slides about evolution. Awful. This was no humanist.
