Well at least with SSB and CW you have a short conversation. JT8, etc, have reduced “contacts” to a few bytes.

Don’t get me wrong, pushing the Shannon capacity limit is great, but I’ll wager many stations are not even running QRP for the newer digital modes.

It is not legal. Making backup copies for yourself works as a fair use defense of copyright infringement but DRM breaking is a separate matter; that's why that part of the DMCA is reviled, it prevents people from doing what copyright otherwise permits them to do.

There is an exemption for breaking DRM on ebooks to enable their use with assistive technologies used by people with disabilities. There are some audiovisual exemptions for educational use that encompass "multimedia ebooks" but only for specific purposes.

Well another question was much worse than that one:

1. Your complete travel history over the last 15 years, including source of funding for travel, in chronological order.

I don't know anyone who would be able to answer that one accurately.
I gather your response here is meant to be a retort to the idea that you should be working on the most important ideas in your field, or that the question by Hamming implies some sort of judgement if you are not. That's not the point of the question. The point of the question is for you to reflect on the reasons you are not, as a means to helping you guide your future choices insofar as working on things that are important matter to you. (Which for some, may be not important at all.)

Many people do not reflect on the reasons they work on the things they work on, or on the weight they give to the import of the problems they are solving, and so need such a question to be asked to help them to understand their needs, motives, and goals. When I first read the question I was in a situation where yes, I had financial needs that were pre-conditions for a job, but I failed to recognize the degree of choice I had over the problem space or system I was working in with regards to focusing on problems I cared about solving (or, more commonly, avoiding working on problems I considered meaningless or superficial.)
And then you get the lovely benefit of not knowing whether someone explicitly passed in zero or didn't specify an option at all. There are a lot of ways around this: Use pointers, specify default arguments, etc. I does frustrate me though whenever the language creators bless a hack approach to get around deficiencies in the base language.

>if you can afford it

We can't, that's why we're moving. It's not to get away from "elements", like prior generations. It's simply too expensive to raise a family in the city. Not to mention, if you moved into the city, your family support structure is likely to be back home.
> More than two orders of magnitude?

More than two orders of magnitude. You put a refrigerator in an environment where the outside temperature is below its set temperature and it doesn't run at all, or one where 100% of its power use displaces less efficient heating methods and its net consumption is negative. By contrast in a high exterior temperature environment it never stops running and can cost in excess of $1000/year in energy. Or anywhere in the full range in between.

> Well it's charging overnight. My phone is inside the house probably half the time.

So in a cold climate it has no energy cost when it's indoors, but does the rest of the time. Meanwhile the refrigerator is inside all the time, and is a heat pump which is more efficient at heating than the phone which is equivalent to resistive heating.

> Honestly this is a really silly argument. If we cared about the extra heating from fridges then we would put them outside in hot climates.

Then the air conditioner runs less but the refrigerator runs more because it's cooling against a higher exterior temperature. That might be more efficient but not by a lot. It's still going to result in high energy consumption.

> If we're talking about a hundred phones versus a fridge, it might be comparable.

If the question is can a refrigerator use less net power per year than one phone, the answer is yes. Not always, not even usually, but it can actually happen in places like Maine or Canada.

> I take your point about hot climates but I still think any comparison about power usage between a phone and a fridge is ridiculous and draws into question the credibility of the writer.

It's a widespread rhetorical device in the media. State something which is technically true but generally misleading in support of your point. Then the statement is defensible from a pedantic technical perspective but still causes people who don't know better to come to inaccurate conclusions. It's basically motte and bailey:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey

The problem isn't that the claim is factually inaccurate, it's that it's purposely misleading. It's the difference between incompetence and malice. Not to say that either of them is commendable, but if we're going to be pedantic about things then let's see it through.

Because technology advanced and new reserves were found.

The main problem is not that we'll eventually run out of oil. It's just that by the time we finish all the reserves most people living on Earth will probably experience extreme weather conditions all year round.
>but I wouldn't put my money on it...

That's a large part of the reason that it likely won't be a part of the future mix. Because no investor groups want to "put their money on it". Nuclear is expensive to build out, it needs investment. The problem is that everyone sees the shit show that Vogtie has become. Also, energy investors can see what's happened to nuclear in places like Iowa where it almost seems as though every guy able to even get a USD100,000 loan has gotten a group of his buddies together and slapped up some windmills. (Seriously, have you ever driven through Iowa lately?) Anyway, what investor group wants to put up the USD4 Billion to compete against all that? Harsh reality is that, assuming all they care about is generating more money, there are better places for their money to go. That's why we need government investment.

I've been saying for a while, we've reached the point where if we want nuclear to be a part of the future mix, government is going to have to step up in a big way. You could argue that the problem with Vogtie was that the government was unrealistic in expecting private industry to be able to pull that off with the provided level of assistance. (And yes, that also implies that private industry was just as unrealistic in believing they could pull that off without additional assistance.)

A collective belief system should be judged on its collective outcomes. Not whether individual members seen like nice people, because they almost always will in the right context. People support wrongs as a collective.

I.e. if you were a guest at Himmler's dinner party in 1938 you could perfectly well think he's a nice guy. It doesn't follow that Nazism is okay.
I'm not an expert in these things. But my recollection is that the solutions of general relativity that behave like warp drives all violate various energy conditions and hence are only possible in the presence of what physicists politely refer to as "exotic matter". The Alcubierre drive, for example, requires matter with a negative energy density. We're reasonably certain that the class of quantum field theories we use to describe matter (QED, QCD, the Standard Model itself,..) are not compatible with these requirements.
One of the problems has been people arriving on these ships and not spending any money locally. Everything they need is provided on the boat.
Counterpoint: I spent my first 3 years at a major programming coding in Java and never actually learned anything there except how to work with people. It was all adding if statements to a gigantic file because no one there knew what they were doing.

I worked in an HR company and didn't learn much.

Then at my last job I worked under a really smart guy who did everything the right way, and I'm way better now. If I had started at a company like that, I would be much farther ahead now.

However, the real think to know is how to architect a project properly with tests/dependency injection/layers, not all the newfangled technologies.
Yeah, except that wasn't meant to be the way things work.

Why would you want to try to pump video over VHF? You have line of sight to everyone when you are in an airplane. Use a higher frequency band that allows for much more bandwidth and therefore higher data speeds. The little 1.2GHz video transmitters can easily reach 10km. That is cruising altitude for a commercial airliner. Having the proper license would get you even greater distance with a higher transmit power. Have the drone/UAV transmit ADS-B data and use GPS position to point a high-gain directional antenna at it, that should get you even more bandwidth.
I memorized them as well, and although I agree with you on some level, I think it does actually help me gain a better understanding of how other people think (or past me). I'm not sure it actually made me better at making decisions, tho.

Our product, Cognito, is based on a simple principle for finding hidden threats: use an authoritative source of data and seek out the fundamental threat behaviors that cybercriminals can’t avoid when they carry out an attack.

To do this, Cognito relies on the only source of truth during a cyberattack – network traffic. Only traffic on the wire – whether in private data centers, public clouds or enterprise environments – reveals the truth with complete fidelity and independence. Low-fidelity perimeter security only shows what you’ve already seen, not the hidden attacks that were missed. Instead of traditional payload inspection, we use AI, machine learning and behavioral traffic analysis to expose the fundamental behaviors of attackers as they spy, spread, and steal in the network – even in encrypted traffic. For more details, see https://vectra.ai/how-it-works.

The most destructive behavior is the default Look & Feel settings. If you uncheck "Remove spacing between paragraphs" and the "Insert blank line between paragraphs" settings, Calibre will leave most formatting as-is.

These settings can be useful in cleaning up badly formatted files, but should not be used carte blanche on all input files, especially those that don't have problems. You'll lose niceties like the first paragraph in a chapter not having text-indent, etc.

Generally it's better to use the "Edit book" feature on EPUB files and manually fix up the CSS if the styling is not to your liking. Converting with Calibre also hard-codes @page margins which overrides most e-Ink reader software's margin settings; so if I do end up using Calibre to convert to EPUB, I always have to edit it afterwards to remove these hard-coded margins in the CSS.
It seems like a religion that draws leadership that looks to exploit it for political gain.

If you explore border and internal conflicts around the world today a depressingly large percentage of them list Muslims as combatants, sometimes on both sides. The only recent exception that comes to mind for me is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Some of this is just due to the number of followers of the religion. When you have so many people they're bound to be caught up in fighting. But when those fighters use their religion as the casus belli for their conflict it's harder to ignore.

What does this mean? How do tourists dress? How would it differ from a non-tourist?
I don't know that it's "unsettling". Both of those seem like objectively good things. The fact that it can be difficult to do both simultaneously is definitely "a thing" but I don't believe it's unsettling. "Difficult to balance" maybe?

It would definitely be beneficial for AC, but electricity is still more expensive in Missouri than a place like Washington state or Montana. You might be better off in a colder climate with cheaper electricity.

That was the only programming environment (CA-Clipper) I knew at the time. VB6 was a thing, but I had some GUI-antipathy, coming from the older, "purer?" world of DOS. Also POS terminals needed first-class keyboard accessibility. SQL wasn't welcome either - you had to give up the fine grained control of row-level cursors in the flat-file xBase database and use a rather unwieldy looking language.

I would still love to go back to the ergonomics of building user interfaces in DOS. No mouse, no events, no callbacks - just straight imperative programming where everything, including user input, blocks. Nothing async - even network communication was thru Novell Netware file writes, using shared locks. And a single screen to design: 25 rows and 80 columns, and just 16 colors.

After doing GUI work for many years after DOS, thru VB6, jQuery DOM manipulation, Angular etc., ReasonReact and Hooks are the closest I've come to recapturing the ease of building UIs again. I'm also looking forward to trying out concur one of these days (https://github.com/ajnsit/concur-documentation/blob/master/R...) -- it is a Haskell GUI library that lets you do evented handling in an imperative-looking manner.

One of the most important problems with discussion today is people seeing personal attacks where none exist. I'm stating a policy position, not "target[ing]" people. Conflating policy and personal attacks makes it impossible to discuss policy in a reasonable way.

Why would anyone pay a senior developer $100-200k+ to sit in a corner and learn React.js?

I was talking about junior devs making (predictable) bad choices not senior devs. Your senior developer should know better than to shiny chase and value delivery over cute technology, otherwise he's not a senior developer.

Some startups can't afford a senior developer or simply don't know any better... but even junior can pump out working apps. Then it's just up to the next evolution round when you build a professional team instead of some cowboys.

CockroachDB's license is exactly what we're studying. We're also eyeing their technology for future use, though for the moment stock PGSQL still wins due to query complexity.

I'm curious to understand why you're so anti-GPL though. Linux is GPL and it hasn't stopped people from using it.

The GPL is not perfect but at the time we adopted it there were no other good alternatives except more permissive licenses that would have led to other companies just taking our stuff and monetizing it without compensation. We are not interested in charitably donating free labor to Amazon.

Highly recommended is the interview on Econtalk with him. What an erudite man.
Yesish.

The way I read it, tail call elimination is the guaranteed application of tail call optimisation with a well defined meaning of what a tail call is. Eg scheme requires TCE.

Tail call optimisation is a transformation a compiler may choose to do to make code that looks like “return foo(...)” run faster. A compiler may choose to not do it because it might not be implemented or faster or it could make debugging harder. There is no guarantee it will happen.

TCO makes some code faster. TCE allows one to write different looking programs knowing they won’t blow up the stack.

This all being said I think most people mean what I have referred to as TCE when they say TCO.
> when perhaps the best approach is to have no doctrine at all

A general rule of thumb in life is you should follow rules until you understand when to break them, and despite the ageism in this industry I feel a decade under your belt of high quality experience really helps.

KISS is a great general guideline .
> Kindle does support mobi, but you have to convert epub files (this can't be done through your Kindle email address' convert ability for some reason).

I think the reason is they don't want to make it too easy to buy ebooks elsewhere and read them on the Kindle. Having to use something like Calibre to convert epub to mobi before sending it to a Kindle is just enough hassle and requires enough comfort with technology to make most stick with the easier option of buying ebooks from Amazon.

Yeah - I wrote https://www.beyonk.com in Nuxt first, and I've now rewritten it in Svelte (Sapper).

There are some things which weren't ready when I started, but I worked around them. The overall experience is that Svelte results in faster pages, less code, more predictability, faster builds... overall, it's a better experience.
Ok, thanks for the heads up. Will raise a status website issue.
See also the history of debt:

> A major argument of the book is that the imprecise, informal, community-building indebtedness of "human economies" is only replaced by mathematically precise, firmly enforced debts through the introduction of violence, usually state-sponsored violence in some form of military or police.

> A second major argument of the book is that, contrary to standard accounts of the history of money, debt is probably the oldest means of trade, with cash and barter transactions being later developments.
