The academic side is less bananas I will give you that. And your comment about 80m is spot on. The problem we have here in the UK, is that it's pretty easy to get a 2m HT and a license to use it. Huge swathes of amateurs never progress past that or take a technical interest at all. I've lived in 3 separate areas where the local 2m nets are full of people with very defective personalities. The sort you'd find in a flat-roofed pub. And they're the guys who actually go to the clubs and the hamfests here.

It's pretty not exciting here as far as emergencies go. So our emcom network (Raynet) are limited to dressing up like police offers as far as they can legally do it and managing the car park at public events. The real emergency services here are very well equipped to handle this themselves with cross service commercial radios. And there's very few places you can't get a 4G signal now, even in the middle of bloody nowhere.

I did enjoy working CW QRP and chasing miles-per-watt to some degree. It was also difficult to be an asshole on CW so people didn't bother. SSB / FM is just urgh.

Go slices cannot change the structure (len or cap) of their "parent" slice. (Unlike Java, the semantics of every operation are even well-defined.) In some sense this is the root of the problem - the "child" slice can start using spare capacity it 'inherited' with no way to tell the parent it has done so, and the parent may inadvertantly pass some of its length as capacity down to its child.
Hmm. Measure theory without sets? The entire thing is about mapping sets to numbers?

Most mathematicians would include measure theory in analysis since it is needed for Lebesgue integration, and what is analysis about if not integrals?

> Can't you make the same argument for all protesters?

The protests of the truckers was not the problem. The illegal occupation was.

It was only after they failed to disperse (and due to the incompetence of the municipal and provincial governments) and occupied cities streets for days/weeks disrupting the lives of residents that an emergency was declared.
I stopped using GoDaddy because it seemed like they would squat the domains I'd search for, find, not buy immediately, and then come back to buy a day or two later. Maybe there's some innocent explanation of the behavior, but as a consumer the experience sure felt malicious. I wound up switching to NameCheap after that.

It would be such a bummer if my brain wasn't just finding patterns that didn't really exist in the noise of consumerism and NameCheap started taking on dark patterns like this. Vetting and switching registrars is a headache.

I see the Holocaust, aside form the terrible crime that it was in itself, as a sign that democracy can sometimes fail. Hitler came to power via a democratic process. He won an election fair and square. His message was one of hate, but it resonated with the majority of his countrymen at the time. And then, at all times until it was too late, he was supported by a majority of them again.

What America has is not democracy, it's a system of checks and balances. It's a system with lots of safeguards so that hate does not get legalized, but it was not always like that. It got like that after a half million men lost their life in the struggle to tell right from wrong in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Other countries fought equally bloody battles to figure out their own system of checks and balances. Britain went through its own horrendous civil wars, France went from revolution to revolution from 1789 to pretty much de Gaulle's coup in 1958.

Most countries in the world did not go through such a process though. In all these countries, if democracy exists, it is either a charade, or an immature democracy like the one that allowed the rise of Hitler. No wonder that people like Putin can get in power through the process of democratic elections.
> ... various "text files" that would give instructions for doing various illegal or morally dubious things.

I was there in the BBS era too. I remember one such text file explaining a simple mechanism to light up a bomb without leaving much trace of the mechanism used to delay the bomb blowing up: it consisted of lighting a cigarette in which a small hole was drilled. Then the text file was going into details, explaining which type of cigarettes to buy so that it wouldn't consume too fast / not get blown by the wind / etc. It was totally hilarious too.
I work with simulation for medical training. When used properly, games and simulations are incredibly powerful at conveying relationships between choices. Since trainees 'invent' the solutions in a scenario, what they learn 'sticks' at a much deeper level. They walk away with powerful memories of their experiences.

However this only works when done with the supervision of a trained instructor (like a game master in DnD). Otherwise trainees will just stay in their comfort zones or they will just do focus on the bits they find fun or are already good at.

I can imagine something similar happening in economics education.

> AVIF doesn't do everything, and a codec that's designed to encode video frames will always be limited compared to a pure image codec.

Image encoding is a subset of video encoding, so any limits are mostly arbitrary, and in AV1's case image-only encoding was a consideration from the start. AVIF in particular supports color depths up to 12 bits, wide color gamuts, many color spaces and standards for color space signaling, etc., so I'm curious what aspect you consider limited.

It sucks, I really dislike how that sidebar works, the old inline one at the top of the article was so much nicer to use. (It's pretty clear this was a "make it pretty update" without much care for how it works)

I think a big assumption of the new design is that you use it to use wikipedia itself, generally most of my wikipedia usage is as a reference for the main thing that I'm actually doing, where by having a wide modern monitor, I can put wikipedia on half (or less!) of the screen and have it be useful. Now with this sidebar thing it's much more annoying to do.

Nobody said anything about a rule. The comment you initially responded mentioned a tradition. Those are two different things.

Primary energy. That will shift dramatically as industries get electrified. No point cooling 70% of the produced energy in a nuclear or coal plant anymore.

Similarly, the question of interest is what to build. Fossil, or nuclear plants barely exist on that list globally.

It is simply too expensive. 5x the CO2 emissions get displaced by building renewables compared to nuclear, with a much shorter time to value.

Investing in nuclear today prolongs the climate crisis.

After you have spent some time confused and angry you can then read the documentation of whatever library you are using and verify whether it overloads numerical operations for its special number type or it has a function to convert them to whatever numerical type you need.

In any case you wouldn't of course use UTF-8 to represent JSON numbers as it can only encode 21 bit intgers.

I'm consistently shocked by the number of people who have never heard of this principle. Introducing arbitrary numerical limits (emphasis on _arbitrary_, as performance limitations or other actual requirements obviously trump this rule) is a design decision that I find myself having to clean up after frequently.

I see a lot of people here questioning the wisdom of the rule, however, like every other principle used in SWE, it shouldn't be applied blindly. Ask yourself "why am I specifying that a maximum of five wangervanes can be specified in the turboencabulator settings?" _IF_ you have a good reason, fine. Most of the time you will not.

"Allowing connections to http://ga1sdf4saf.ru is fine, because it's so convenient not having to put things in source control."

The database example is (largely) a solved problem. Microsoft SQL for example lets you check in an ".MDF" database file into source control. If it's a "schema only" file, it's probably just a few megabytes. It can be loaded locally without a "server" using a connection string that simply references the file name. Similar things can be done with SQL Lite, etc...

Even these approaches miss the point to a degree. Relying on an external executable is also a mistake. What if the developers update their database engine version on their laptop, and they need to go back to a previous major release branch to produce a security hotfix update? They might not be able to if the build tools have "moved on".

This is not some esoteric scenario, I'm facing this issue right now with some old SOAP endpoints where I need to rebuild the front-end that has been untouched for 10+ years, but I can't because the endpoints are HTTPS with TLS 1.0 but all new desktop and servers enforce TLS 1.2, so now I'm stuck.

The correct solution instead of the dirty shortcut is to include the WSDL file into the source code and reference it from there.

This also allows builds in cloud-hosted build platforms like GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps Pipelines, because with a hygienic build process no "LAN connectivity" is needed or assumed.

Your convenience will become someone else's security nightmare.
It's still a perfectly valid bitstream and file if you don't conform to the defined profiles and encode resolutions up AV1's maximum 65536x65536 (or even larger with HEIF grids), as long as you don't falsely claim you're conforming to the defined profiles/levels. Then there's simply no guarantee that any specific decoder can decode it. (but technically that's the same with merely conforming to the advanced profile, or else there wouldn't be two profiles...)

I don't know about the libavif API, but certainly libavif's avifenc will happily create large files that don't conform to the AVIF advanced profile.
By the time I joined a startup in the 1990s, it was on its way to 100 employees. They were really grateful to everyone who kept them running, and set up a retirement plan with a really generous match. That alone made it worth it for me -- I maxxed out my contributions, and which then grew over the years.

Maybe the moral of the story is they can structure their compensation package in all kinds of ways -- and it really just depends on what they're ultimately offering you.

You put the dollar into a vending machine at the post office to buy stamps.

You buy the cheapest amount of stamps, then you YANK the dollar-in-packing-tape from the machine...

You receive the stamps, the change from the yanked bill, take the change to the Safeway (grocery store) next door and you play the video games they had in them ; Defender and Contra.

It took us $25 in stolen quarters from the post office machine vuln to this attack to beat contra.
