<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I&#39;m also happy with those solders. They melt and behave a little different, but it&#39;s a small adjustment. My main one is an Ag3,0Cu0,5, but it feels similar - and it&#39;s fine as long as it wets the host metal.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> what are your feelings about low-temp rework solders, like SnBi eutectic? I&#39;ve started to use the paste for a bunch of one-offs because it&#39;s the only paste I have to hand and I find it nicer than high-temp lead-free most of the time</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> when I searched that term I got one and only one result, is this what you’re talking about? <a href="https://a.co/d/0PBR19D" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">a.co/d/0PBR19D</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> my experience has been that name brand lead-free solder is around as good as bargain bin leaded solder. the latter is much more cost effective</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@faassen" class="u-url mention">@<span>faassen</span></a></span> Do people even learn spreadsheets anymore? I wonder if my kids (high school) have ever used a spreadsheet. I should ask.</p>

<p>reminder that there are good Pb-free solders (e.g. Sn99-Ag0.3-Cu0.7 with 2% RMA) that are just as fit for purpose as Pb60-Sn40, and you can switch to Pb-free without compromising how your joints flow</p>

<p>I thought programmers knew that spreadsheets are the most widely used programming language. And that it&#39;s a functional programming language. With a dedicated UI. And it supports quick iterative development. </p><p>I am not good at this language myself, and I am not drawn to it. But I know it exists and respect it.</p><p>It used to be BASIC competed with spreadsheets in how ubiquitous and accessible programming was, but that era is long gone. Unix shell is still around though.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
