This is not true. The ARRL is constantly fighting for the benefit of radio amateurs, and has been doing so for a century.

The FCC recently considered an over-reach, naming removing the limits on signalling rate, which would be a technically incompetent move.

The ARRL is working with Congress to require the FCC to replace the signalling rate limit to one which would use a 2.8 kHz bandwidth, same as SSB.

This was discussed here a short time ago, "Rep. Lesko Introduces Bill to Replace Symbol Rate Limit with Bandwidth Limit"[0].

Yes, but essentially always relating to safety or environmental damage.

It's unsurprisingly much easier to make your case when there are hundreds of poisoned children, or when mining companies cause flooding that destroy people's homes.
Yes. I mentioned this elsewhere, but Vancouver and Toronto have had foreign-buyer taxes on the books for a while now. Data seems to show that it has indeed dramatically reduced foreign purchases, but it's not at all clear that homes have become any more affordable in those areas. They need to build, period.
I am saddened but not surprised at the lack of nuance in these comments. I also think the author is missing some things.

We take it for granted now that the public-ness of online content is very nearly binary: it's either public, and therefore hyper-public, globally accessible, indexed, searchable, publicly archived forever, or it is private. But this binary is artificial. Why can't we have things in-between?

Perhaps it's easier to understand if we make a real-world analogy. In the real world, there are public spaces where people interact and their interactions are, in general, not recorded, not remembered, not noticed. I can walk to my local public square and scream as much as I like about politics, and only people physically present there can hear me. If I say something strange enough, someone might film me and upload it to the internet, but that's an active choice. Almost everything that happens in these traditional public spaces does not have the hyper-publicity of web content. Likewise, I can have a casual conversation with a friend while walking in a public space, and people standing close to us might hear, they could even join in, but it's very unlikely that conversation will end up in the historical record. By contrast, while something like Twitter bills itself as a public square, it is nothing like it: no public square has cameras and microphones permanently fixed on it that globally broadcast everything happening there and pick up even the faintest voices. It really stretches the traditional conception of publicity. Previously, only celebrities and politicians had the misfortune of history's eyes being permanently fixed on them; what does “public figure” mean now?

Meanwhile, the web's conception of private is also an extreme. Conversations that nobody else can overhear and join are the only other option.

So, isn't publicly fetchable, but not indexable, content a reasonable compromise?

Now, certainly, the fact that there is no technical barrier to indexing means this is, you could say, privacy through obscurity. But that is true of almost all real-world privacy! It doesn't make it meaningless.

I also must reject the idea that because things can be indexed and archived, that they should be, especially when it goes against an explicitly expressed desire by affected users. Is mass surveillance only a problem when it is done in secret by a state?

The fact bad actors can't be stopped is a strange excuse as well. The world we live in is held together by the fact that most people, most of the time, act in good faith, even though they know a minority do not. If people gave up on caring because other people don't, there would be no society.

Finally: the legal aspect of the blog is such a strange attempt at proposing a solution. The fediverse is a system run by volunteers and its enemies (to be crude) are also generally volunteers, and the harms involved are generally at the micro, individual level (even if in aggregate they can be big), rather than having big corporate price tags attached. Licences are almost meaningless because almost nobody is taking anyone to court. The law cannot solve social problems like these.
Now also talk about production costs, staff salaries, and taxes.
Thank you.

I don't think of technical challenges as just being about developing better rockets. I think of technical challenges more broadly, which is perhaps me being quirky.

For example, I was super excited to see a study suggesting that potatoes can be grown on Mars because potatoes are the only food I know of that is nearly nutritionally complete. So if we can successfully grow potatoes on Mars, that would be a big deal. (Though if anything went wrong, it would be the space exploration version of The Irish Potato Famine all over again. Ugh.)

Gee, why is it then that we are concerned only about skin color and gender?
I recommend "Developer Hegemony". Coming from a career in FAANG, it's helped put words to what bothers me about the power dynamics and management practices. The book also presents a picture of what a healthier and more empowered "software engineering" role/world could look like (one of my 2023 goals is making significant career moves in that direction)
The Goal is interestingly written as a work of narrative fiction. Which threw me off at the very start.

I feel like it would make a great movie a la The Big Short.

The academic paper in the appendix is super useful as well.

This is of course not scientific, but my observation has been just the opposite. It seems like in the past it was possible to be an artist who supported themselves working 9 to 5 as a waiter. I don't see how that would be possible with the skyrocketing cost of living even before the inflation spike. Lots of people have multiple jobs just to make ends meet.

> certainly the higher cost of purchase will influence the amount the new owner charges tenants to live there.

I don't think it will hurt tenants if their building sells for more money, unless there are any legal limitations based on sale price of a building with regard to raising the rents. But just market forces shouldn't really react at all.
The charts are still there, though? And only a fraction of good music has ever made it onto them. To be honest, I’m not quite sure what exactly you think has changed.
Maybe we move in this direction in the future. For example, "Rod logic" in The Diamond Age, which is likely inspired by Drexler's nanotech idea that nanoscale mechanical computers may have advantages (energy?) over electric ones.

Fair criticism, I have seen similar posts and articles about things inside there now. But the book is not so much about the current culture or setting now, but more on the authors experiences and what things have made the company successful long term from an engineering perspective. Good book to get insight on different topics or areas.
I'm working on a notes taking service [0] that behaves the way I want. All notes are organized in the (potentially nested) streams, messages can also have metadata attached which makes it easy and natural to keep track of any observations, be it travel notes, reading notes or exercises tracking. The big idea is to make it a place that would accommodate for any types of notes and any steaming messages in general, e.g. data from your smart home weather station.

Public streams have RSS, you can follow my dev and product streams if you like.

Landing page is rubbish, api is not there, but I hope it's good enough to present the idea. I've recorded a video [1] to showcase the features

The proposal would impact expats the most, and wealthy foreign investors would probably find a way around it. Also, I bet internal housing prices have resulted from internal investment/cash parking. Thus, building housing is not the only real solution.

In my opinion, a simple, progressive land tax would go a long way in addressing the housing shortage.
Original point was that author thinks game made now will be less long-lived than game made 20 years ago so that's all irrelevant really but...

>An iPhone games from 2009 or a Facebook Flash game from 2010? Now there's a real chance you have no way of making it work unless the game is so popular that the developer/publisher have kept it alive and on the market all this time.

Weirdly enough (not really) despise all the whining about loss of Flash games community people stepped up and wrote the emulators required for that. No idea how iphone side of that looks tho

> But choose a random not-very-popular computer game from 1996 and there's a fair chance it won't be easy to make it work properly.

In most cases it will probably be as easy as average game because it is average game and most emus carry for needs of average games of that time just fine.

You'd have to look pretty hard to find unplayable ones, and most other... wouldn't be much harder than trying to make the DOS game work back in the DOS times with various special things you needed to do and set back then so the game worked.

Sure, games nobody wanted to play in the first place when they were released will be neglected but that's not exactly that huge a loss. If game deems to be more important than it was back then someone will figure out how to run it, as long as data is preserved.

The online-only ones are a big problem, sure they can be cracked just fine but the moment they are server based that's a whole shitton to reverse-engineer, and while some popular MMOs got that done (mostly so people can play without paying but still...) it's by far rarity to see.

> […] and the insides are now laptop parts. The Mac Studio is simply the desktop computer that gets the Macbook Pro chips.

«Laptop parts» connect M1 CPU clusters to RAM via a 512-bit wide (M1 Max) and a 1024-bit wide (M1 Ultra) memory bus yielding 100 Gb/sec (per a CPU core), 200 Gb/sec (per a CPU cluster) and 400 (M1 Max)/800 (M1 Ultra) Gb/sec cumulative data transfer speeds. GPU and ANE cores access the main memory via the same wide memory bus. L1 caches (I+D) are 128kB+64 kb (efficiency cores) and 192+128 kb (performance); L2 caches are 24 Mb (M1 Max) and 48 Mb (M1 Ultra), and L3 cache is 48 Mb (Max) and 96 Mb (Ultra). Auxiliary tasks (disk encryption, video encoding/decoding etc) are off-loaded to dedicated processing units which is reminiscent to that a typical mainframe architecture with channel processors and channel programmes rather than that of a laptop.

Most «hi-end» servers today do not come anywhere close to such configurations leave alone the form factor and the net system efficiency. 512-bit wide memory bus is currently only found inside hi-end GPU cards, and the compute off-loading / accelerating units are an add-on feature for a server that may or may not be available.

Only POWER10 and Telum systems from IBM offer similar (albeit far more scalable and feature rich) designs and at a completely different price scale.
AFAICT, they're both trying to achieve Rust's power with much more simplicity. Val uses mutable value semantics, which (afaict) is like using Rust's &mut and .clone() a lot. Vale uses a foundation of generational references, then region borrow checking to eliminate their overhead.

And it gets even better! There's VALE (Verified Assembly Language for Everest) and two Vlangs ;)

The whole idea of RPC is about "knowing the shape" (typing) and good RPC implementations do that.

I've shown you a small library which allows me not to parse anything at all.

It is flippant. "Net zero" has already been an ally to the Russian government in their war on Ukraine.

Energiewende was the renewable transition that primarily offshored responsibility to Russian natural gas and coal when plants weren't running, assuming that the renewables would grow and balance out.

That didn't work so well, and now a European heat wave is saving European lives.

People need heat, and light, and to compute.

The developing world cannot wait for net zero carbon energy, and the developed world cannot just stop all useful human activity to pursue climate goals.

The rhetoric around this is if we "just" had better politics, if the oil and gas lobby weren't such villains, if conservatives weren't sticking their heads in the sand we would be able to make it to net zero while "only" sacrificing things we don't care about, like big gas guzzling pickup trucks.

We are finding out that no, we can't.

Continuing down this line of rhetoric is flippant, or perhaps glib.

There's hope though, even if you believe that climate change will end humanity (it won't) - the status symbol cars are electric, more consumer cars are electric, renewable deployment is proceeding apace and we even have developments in fusion and SMRs.

That's how we win - not with the Extinction Rebellion, but with new people doing diligent work to produce higher and higher standards of living at less and less cost.

Fuel costs money, and nobody wants to use it if they don't have to - economics will eventually win, because the best low or no carbon energy sources require almost no operational cost due to lack of constant fuel input.
That's not at all what the parent said. No where did they say anything about people being 100% subsidized to follow their dreams. You are attacking a strawman.

Hi,

I'm Robin, (Senior) Staff Engineer with 10 years of experience. On the Will Larson staff archetype chart I register mostly as Architect and/or Solver, and I enjoy figuring out what is needed for organisational success. I've most recently worked at CircleCI on the core pipeline orchestration platform as well as config processing. Relevant experiences here include high throughput distributed systems and compilers.

I'm somewhat conversational in Japanese, but by no means business level (yet). Native in German, and can get by in French or Dutch, if need be.
Make a list of things you miss about your old employer so you know what to ask about in future job interviews.
You could make the same argument for the the organists themselves though - theatre organs were designed to take the place of an entire orchestra, needing only one musician instead of 30.
That's why I think these edible drinks are really interesting for mass market. Pabst Blue Ribbon makes a thc beer now (no alcohol in it though). You can sip on one of these like you would a beer in a social setting, and it will be like 5-10mg which is as small as edibles go for the most part in terms of dosage. Even if that was high for your tolerance you can just cut yourself off, and safe the rest of the drink for another time if its not flat by then.

That being said, smoking weed has been normalized in california for perhaps over 50 years and you still don't yet see these drinks offered to people at social events really even though there will always be a ton of booze. Maybe it would take establishments actually getting licenses to serve and consume THC to really change how our culture looks at this stuff in contrast to alcohol.
> eradication of cancer, as well as tuberculosis, infantile paralysis (also known as polio), locomotor ataxia and leprosy.

That prediction was not so off the mark. At least in the US tuberculosis, polio and leprosy are, if not eradicated, at least insignificant health concerns. Locomotor ataxia, I had to google it. It means problems coordinating you movements. It appears it was a problem when people used to have syphilis. But now syphilis is another disease that's been virtually eradicated.

As for cancer, we did not eradicate it, but we've made huge progress compared to 100 years ago. Heck, even compared to 30 years ago.

With the caveat that syntax is the ultimate bikeshed topic, one (IMO) syntactic wart is the special pattern syntax:

1. "Operators" have different meanings. `1 | 2` and `1..=2` mean something different in patterns than in expressions. Here is a silly example: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/76Ynrs71G

2. Ambiguity around when bindings are introduced. Notice how changing a `const` to a `let` breaks the function: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/aKchMjTYW

3. Can't use constant expressions, only literals. Here's an example of something I expect should work, but does not: https://rust.godbolt.org/z/7GKE73djP

I wish the pattern syntax did not overlap with expression syntax.

We've never said differently. I was one of the people who congratulated on you the dataset when you first introduced it and also authored an early article on your play UI, which is an excellent ClickHouse feature than every user should know about. [0,1]

> It's also working slower, has less number of datasets, and it is using an older version of ClickHouse. Better to show something original.

Altinity.Cloud can run any version of ClickHouse. It's currently on the latest 22.10.4 build. We upgrade it regularly. I see that as a feature rather than a drawback.

I honestly don't see it as competing with anyone. We put this endpoint up a couple years ago to give people a convenient endpoint to try out ClickHouse and to certify BI tools like Superset. If anything we should all be competing to ensure ClickHouse gets the recognition it deserves. It's an outstanding analytic database.
