I eagerly await my Glasgow
<josHua[m]>
(though I just convinced my client to buy three Tigards so he can replicate my desk setup, and when I switch to Glasgow to replace my three Tigards, it will be harder for me to say 'go get this thing')
<whitequark[cis]>
ive seen people drop a loooot of money on glasgows
<whitequark[cis]>
in commercial environments $200 seems like barely anything
<josHua[m]>
the problem is not the spend, the problem is the availability so far 🙂
<josHua[m]>
indeed, I expensed four Tigards without thinking about it, though
<josHua[m]>
(and by 'expensed' I mean 'bought and forgot to expense', but)

<josHua[m]> "the problem is not the spend..." <- you can make 10 glasgows (without cases and probes, ofc) at $1000 via jlcpcb
<q3k[cis]>
s/at/for/
<q3k[cis]>
so if a company really wants some they can just do that :P
<josHua[m]>
oh, the whole point I tell people Tigards right now is that they are a standard long-life ft232 thing, supported by a company, whree a customer can just go click 'buy' rahter than having to fidget with JLC
<q3k[cis]>
sure
<whitequark[cis]>
it feels a little surreal for a small tiny cat to have started something so huge
<josHua[m]>
hm, I have a question for whitequark (@_discord_182174208896401419:catircservices.org) and gatecat (@_discord_390862010406928396:catircservices.org) . when people tell me they are going to do an iCE40 design, I usually ask 'which toolchain are you using? the Lettuce toolchain or the catgirl toolchain?', and, like, obviously I mean this with quite a bit of appreciation. but I realize I should ask how y'all feel about me saying this
<josHua[m]>
before I commit to the bit *too* hard

Says the cat with billion-range downloads on gh
<whitequark[cis]>
josHua[m]: perfectly happy with the bit
<whitequark[cis]>
it also counts some other catgirls who participated!

<gatecat[m]>
no problems there either :D
<whitequark[cis]>
(I have worked mostly on arch-independent parts of Yosys anyways)
<josHua[m]>
to be honest, the shocking thing about yosys is not that it is written by catgirls. this is expected. the shocking thing about yosys is that it is written by catgirls and is not written in Rust. I think my conclusion from this is that electron-centric catgirls have more common sense (or are grognards better aligned with my sensibilities, anyway) than dword-centric catgirls.
<whitequark[cis]>
yosys predates Rust, more or less
<whitequark[cis]>
I think if it was written today it would have been
<whitequark[cis]>
yosys is Claire's thesis project that escaped into the wild and grew incredible usefulness
<whitequark[cis]>
it's very organic in its origin and everything else really
<whitequark[cis]>
first of its kind projects often are
<josHua[m]>
klingon software projects &c
