> It's a hobbyist set of bands, and encrypting traffic is against the hobbyist spirit of it.

I disagree. The vast majority of modern hobbyist radio technology involves encryption as an integral part-- both because the ease of abuse has made cryptography a mandatory feature for communications generally, because radio censorship rules are incompatible with lots of perfectly reasonable communications (you can't lawfully read HN over the radio, for example, because posts can and sometimes do contain naughty-words... you can't even read most ham radio internet message boards over the radio!) and because it's a standard part of existing protocols and software designed for usage over the internet.

The ham prohibitions on encryption are just keeping that usage out of ham bands which, particularly in UHF remain somewhere between dead and completely dead. This will ultimately result in our loss of these allocations, and the experimental usage is hampered by the restrictions in the ISM bands and the lack of potential for coordination that comes from having identified and competent operators.

> Part of the beauty of ham is being able to go along the dial and be able to observe the traffic. That would die with widespread encryption.

Digital modes in general break this, because there is a proliferation of them and some are only readable if you pay considerable licensing fees or buy special licensed hardware. I disagree that this is an essential part of the radio as it's already not true. Though, one could preserve it to a degree by requiring some amount of plaintext identification of the traffic, the identities of the parties and the purpose of the communication.

> Your insulting of people who try to maintain radios for emergencies is unnecessary, too.

If you're at all familiar with amateur radio usage in the US you've probably encountered wackers. Heck, even if you are considered one yourself by others you've probably seen people worse than you. The ancestors post didn't suggest that all emergency prep activity is excessively LARPY, at least by my read.

The excessive restrictions harm more boring usage like "I want to check my email from the woods on infrastructure that I built and maintain". The larpy usage doesn't care, because it's mostly fantasy and if there were some doomsday event no one is going to care what encryption you're using (or at least won't be able to do anything about it). :)
> -FP will literally suck your peepee

> -Actually FP is the second coming for Christ

On a style point, you've rather undermined yourself that these are common claims because there are entries on this list that are clearly fabricated, as well as others that look like wilful misinterpretations of what someone else said. That casts doubt on the more reasonable entries. There are annoying FP evangelists out there, but the overall tone pattern matches straw-manning.

You'd have made it easier for everyone taking the whole list seriously. Transparently mixing fact and fiction just makes it harder for people who aren't already part of a conversation.
How to fix the disastrous new Xcode 15 console
Ad revenue went down because of boycott calls by dissatisfied Twitter-users who could not handle the opening of the Overton window. To many that open window was a breath of fresh air but to them it carried in the stench of different ideas which had formerly been filtered out. Many of them made a great show of claiming to leave Twitter and some of them left - they're part of that 15%.

Twitter is still not my thing because I dislike the format which I see as a textual forerunner of the likes of TikTok but it got more palatable after Musk brought in the kitchen sink and started throwing out the old censorious guard.

I am always looking for old boardgames (and, to clarify: many 19th century boardgames were published just as a book; you had to construct your own components based on instructions in the book). I have managed to track down some, and received scans and/or photos from several libraries and museums (in five different countries; not counting the excellent online archive of scanned boardgames available from the National Library in Finland, since those were already available without me having to order anything), but I have a list of games I have not yet been able to locate (or games that I have not found images of all components yet; it is quite annoying to have the rulebook but not the game board!). Makes me sad that maybe some of those games are partially or completely lost.

Of course there must be many, many games I never even heard of. So... anything related to old boardgames is of interest. Even if there are boring roll-and-move games, or games I am not interested in like chess or checkers, I still like the idea of trying to get as much game history preserved and available online as possible.
Honestly, I like the Bing search engine. They at least give me points in exchange for tracking me, and I cash those in for Amazon credit.

I would love to have a search engine, though, that would actually include all the terms that I type in, exactly as I typed it. It's such a simple concept, I can't believe that it's not an option!
What does the term "current-to-ammonia efficiency" mean here? I imagine it would refer to the specificity of the reaction, i.e. that 99% of the electrons passing through the system are used in the main reaction, and <1% on side reactions.

The abstract doesn't go into detail on energy efficiency and a comparison to the old method using gas. For instance, would this method result in less CO2 emissions using regular grid electricity, or would it need to be 100% low-carbon electricity? If, say, the electricity came from a CCGT plant, how would that compare? Etc etc

Devil's advocate: Google was awesome for over 10 years while making a huge profit with unobtrusive ads. Yes, relying on ad revenue is a strong driver of enshittification, but it's not the only factor; would Google have turned out this awful if it wasn't publicly traded, or if its corporate culture had somehow avoided becoming so Kafkaesque?
Be careful not to confuse antenna design with "needing to point". :-) There are antennas with pretty circular gain in azimuth but asymmetrical gain in altitude. I have a 08-ANT-0861 from MP Antenna that pretty much looks every which way. And I can recommend it for people who need "one" antenna for a bunch of different experiments.

I’m a fan of Bing.

But your issue is in your search term. Nobody but programmers would ever call a thing a “text editor”. And “for writing” changes nothing: I use VSCode “for writing” code. With “macos writing app” the results are far superior.

(source: I used to make “a text editor” for a living and I can tell you that 0% of the population understands what that means, “It’s like microsoft word, except instead of writing text documents you write the code to create computer programs” gets you pretty far tho)
Is there an example demonstrating what it looks like and how it works?

Source for the far right to far left statistic is Insa Consulere, one of the large public opinion institutes. These companies are so reliable that the live results on election days used to announce a winner on TV are actually from their analyses at polling stations throughout the day, not from government institutions. If the figure should change it's because these people have changed their mind afterwards, but as it stands right now, a lot of far right voters consider it a better alternative. Percentage wise, out of all parties, the far right loses the most to this new far left party. This was already predicted before any statistics were in because they just want to flip the bird to established parties.

The voter movement from center left to far right is from the official election results from a few weeks ago.
This would be a gigantic breakthrough if true and scalable, correct? Most ammonia production for fertilizer currently uses natural gas, and of clean sources of electricity with such a high yield of ammonia production would have a huge worldwide impact. So is there something I'm missing?
I mean their main objective is to decimate Hamas as an entity in Gaza, they know they'll never get all of them but destroying all their infrastructure and weapons (and other) caches along with their leadership is critical. I'm sure they know they'll never end the movement,but they can destroy nearly all their large scale capabilities.
With the traffic between this world and the afterlife, using exceptions like this is really inefficient. Furthermore, a lot of souls with net bad behavior might be in a state of Grace, rescuing them from Hell.

An improvement might look like this:

def judgement(soul):
in_grace = soul.state.is_graceful()
good_works = len(soul.works)
if in_grace: return 1 # Heaven
if good_works > MORAL_MINIMUM: return 0 # Limbo
return -1 # Welp.

Although, given the moral ambiguity of the spec, it might be better to use a language with more undefined behavior like C. Terry Davis addressed a lot of this when he built the third Temple in HolyC.

I actually work parttime at a startup where we're trying to use web3 to establish permanent, digital identities that you can use in the afterlife to bargain with demons. The idea is, you can use an NFT (who says web3 is dead!) to correlate the atoms in the immortal eternal one-soul with their constituent souls on earth, so you can identify your friends in Heaven (or Hell). Eventually, we hope to even link people on earth to people on heaven, via our Rust-based AngelLink blockchain. A sort of "tower to the heavens" so to speak.

VNC and the like are basically just transmitting the framebuffer to the client. There are some extensions for stuff like better support for video though.

RDP works a bit differently:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/rem...

On the server, RDP uses its own video driver to render display output by constructing the rendering information into network packets by using RDP protocol and sending them over the network to the client. On the client, RDP receives rendering data and interprets the packets into corresponding Microsoft Windows graphics device interface (GDI) API calls.

RDP supports various mechanisms to reduce the amount of data transmitted over a network connection. Mechanisms include data compression, persistent caching of bitmaps, and caching of glyphs and fragments in RAM. The persistent bitmap cache can provide a substantial improvement in performance over low-bandwidth connections, especially when running applications that make extensive use of large bitmaps.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/rdp-...

To reduce the amount of data transferred over the network, RDP uses the combination of multiple techniques, including but not limited to
- Frame rate optimizations
- Screen content classification
- Content-specific codecs
- Progressive image encoding
- Client-side caching

Remote Desktop Protocol is a modern protocol designed to adjust to the changing network conditions dynamically. Instead of using the hard limits on bandwidth utilization, RDP uses continuous network detection that actively monitors available network bandwidth and packet round-trip time. Based on the findings, RDP dynamically selects the graphic encoding options and allocates bandwidth for device redirection and other virtual channels.
This technology allows RDP to use the full network pipe when available and rapidly back off when the network is needed for something else. RDP detects that and adjusts image quality, frame rate, or compression algorithms if other applications request the network.
I'm trying to evaluate this and like everyone else I'm unconvinced defaulting to doubtful (great claims need great evidence).

Perhaps it would help if he had clarified what he meant by:

`So then here’s the big result. What observers with those characteristics perceive in the ruliad necessarily follows certain laws. And those laws turn out to be precisely the three key theories of 20th-century physics: general relativity, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics and the Second Law. `

So it sounds like he's saying that if you take an arbitrary system of generating infinite rules and apply it to itself, you'll make a system that shares traits of our universe, which if true is actually fascinating in itself. Curious if any advocates can speak to evidence of this claim.
More tax is always a dumb, lazy idea. Make EV's more affordable, not ICE cars less affordable.

As it is, half the people with a driver's license in this country cannot afford a base model Honda Civic, much less an EV and its associated charging hardware. Taxing gas will put these people out of personal transportation altogether or make their lives all that much more difficult.

You might consider the possibility that your query was just not very good, and you should have put some effort into fixing it.

Why are you searching specifically for "mac text editors for writing"? Why not for example "mac apps for writing" or "mac word processors for writing"?

Likewise, what are you writing if not code? Literature? Academic papers? A screenplay? Notes to yourself? Even another human can't guess this correctly, let alone the search engine. Only you know it. Put that detail into the query!

Also, I don't know that you should ever search for the "best" anything. That word alone is pretty much guaranteed to get you just SEO listicles or marketing pages.

> On the internet trasitioning from a hobby website to a commercial one is seamless.

And that's exactly the kind of transition people into ham radio don't want.

> MitM attacks are a security vulnerability.

A vulnerability on what security? Everything done on the ham bands is public, it makes no sense to transmit on these bands and not want to be heard. It makes sense if you are trying to send a secret message, which is what ham is explicitly not about.

As for the comparison with Rust. The Rust memory model is about preventing bugs. But the lack of private communication on public ham bands is a feature, not a bug. The Rust of ham radio would be a system that prevents accidental encryption and ensures that everything is understandable by everyone.

If you want the internet, use the internet. There are already many frequency bands for that.
Interesting, my mom just sold her house and there was no verification.

My point stands, legally either a signature has to be notarized or it doesn't. If it doesn't, any signature can be effective. I'll agree that 3rd party hosting provides an element of independence, however, legally it's not required, and could be done by anyone. E.g., a self-hosting a solution that required the signer to upload a video of them clicking I AGREE would provide just as much certainty as anything Docusign can.
Yep, Pass4wallet is great, and free to boot. I’ve used it for lots of loyalty cards and membership cards that don’t support Wallet, and even for some that do, so I can avoid installing apps for them.

I like ChatGPT summarizations but this list just confirms OP's frustration. Top 5 results are not text editors for writers (TextEdit is a basic document editor).
I think it's more that it's not recommended within the web development community which, of course, was Elixir's initial "purpose". As a web developer who has worked with a lot of web developers, I think this is pretty sound advice. However, I do wish there was more multi-node literature out there for web developers as I'm very interested in it myself. I'm talking running different OTP applications on different nodes. Almost every blog post I've found on the topic doesn't go much farther than `iex --sname foo@localhost --cookie monster`. Hopefully more in depth stuff will start to show up.
Often when the news media says that the pope has endorsed something, they're actually talking about a Vatican spokesperson or one of its departments, or a mention in the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.

Because the Register article doesn't make it clear whether Pope Francis himself or a representative of the Vatican gave an endorsement, I started looking up information in other sources.

But in practically every article I could find that mentioned Miron Mironiuk and "Code With Pope," the information about the papal endorsement came from Mironiuk.

For example, this article from the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67209806

I could not find any articles that directly quote a Vatican source, or the pope himself, as endorsing this project.

So until I can find some kind of credible source beyond Mironiuk's say-so, I am going to assume that he got some sort of recognition or general note of encouragement from someone in the Vatican. But it's doubtful that Pope Francis himself is partnering with this one app developer.

If you change "for writing" to "for writers", you would get more appropriate results from Google.
Raw IQ doesn't mean you'll have good epistemology. His brain lets him reach deeper abstractions than most but it doesn't mean what he comes up with is grounded in base reality. If you're worried about being off-base, try:

- Contact with reality (feedback). Predict, try, did it work?

- Having a good reasoning framework. For some it's 1. Religious text, 2. what others they respect think, 3. reasoning for understanding. This is not the worst but not the best. Perhaps a better one would be 1. Science/rationality, 2. religious/philosophical/spiritual texts, 3. first principles thinking

- Humility, you don't know anything unless you have great reasoning and empirical evidence to back up what you're saying. Even then, when faced with complexity (i.e. unless you are dealing with the most atomic/simple concept), you're still almost certainly wrong.
Interesting choice for the inline code option in the examples to parse the COBOL out of a comment in the string representation of a function. Especially considering the JSDoc suggests it also accepts a plain string. Would love to know the reason for that.
I believe that 99% of what they're bombing are known or very probably Hamas hot spots. They have no reason to kill regular Palestinians, but they are at war, and war is pretty fkng ugly. They have sat back for decades while Hamas lobbed rockets at them and then turn around and massacre 1400 people as if they were nothing. No I think this is pent-up and they are on a mission to end Hamas with prejudice, they are not on a mission to kill innocent people, but I have no doubt that Hamas will put innocent people between them and Israeli bombs.
The first file system with extended file attributes was HPFS, which was introduced in the version 1.2 of the OS/2 operating system, in 1989.

HPFS was followed by Silicon Graphics XFS and MS NTFS, both in 1993.

After XFS became open source, it was the first Linux file system with support for extattrs, which is why it still has its own commands for handling them, besides those that work with any other Linux file system.

Then the rest of the Linux file systems have also adopted this feature, with the main exception of tmpfs, which for many years did not support any extattrs, then it added support only for certain security-related extattrs and only now support for user extattrs has been announced, but with some limitations.

I was looking at a BMW X5 50e.

With my ICE I've been told to start the engine and drive away gently.

Test-driving the 50e I noticed it was in electric mode until the ramp and as I floored it the ICE kicked in and immediately went to high RPM.

To this date I have not seen an explanation as to why this does not harm the engine, and yet it harms MY engine when I immediately minimize the distance between the gas pedal and the floorboard.

It's not that they have an electric oil pump that kicks in _BEFORE_ the engine revs.

And hand-wavy gestures like 'oh they're built' for it don't explain HOW they fixed it.

What's the fix? Different tolerances? Different material that doesn't wear? Thicker material so it can wear more before problems appear (what about tolerances then?).
I spoke to a real estate agent about the housing problem. And it’s not an obvious one. And one very few ever talk about.

The problem is that most builders need to borrow money from the bank for a project.

But the government red tape can take from 1-3 years. Plus the building phase can be 1-2 years. So a total of 2-5 years.

Builders cannot property plan project schedule, finance schedule and are feeling excessive risk.

Most builders are simply not interested in taking this risk and thus not much is done.

Another major issue the government of Portugal won’t tell you about is the fact that they own a ton of units downtown Lisbon in a completely decrepit state and aren’t doing anything about that.

It’s easy to blame nomads though…
