FCC Low-Power Radio, Time to Apply 1 Week Now!

This will be the first Low-Power FM (LPFM) filing window to apply for a legitimate broadcasting license since 2013.

This is significant because it allows for a small enough transmitter to broadcast over the regular FM airwaves, that the purchase cost of the transmitter as well as the energy needs are small enough to be affordable to an individual, even though only organizations not individuals can qualify for this type license.

Looks like there is also no application fee, very uncommon.

This is the hobbyist size of transmitter no bigger than a shortwave Ham radio operator would have, that is otherwise forbidden or rarely licensed for use on your regular local FM radio airwaves.

Outstanding rare opportunity for educational nonprofit or Native American organizations.

https://www.fcc.gov/document/lpfm-new-station-application-fi...

Anyone eligible should really jump on this before it's too late.

The application appears especially bureaucratic, but Prometheus seems like they are there to help.

"LPFM Application Window Rescheduled to December 6-13

November 9, 2023

Today the FCC released a public notice delaying the upcoming LPFM filing window 5 weeks. It is now scheduled to be open from December 6, 2023 to December 13, 2023. The delay is a response to a request by LPFM advocates including Prometheus, Common Frequency, REC Networks, National Federation of Community Broadcasters and others.

With the additional time, we have expanded capacity to assist nonprofit organizations applying for LFPM licenses. The best way to reach us is by email to info(at)prometheusradio.org or you can call 215-727-9620."

> A CL (or Pull Request) is created in Google’s in-house code editor Cider

Since the article is pretty accurate about everything else, I just want to point out that this is(was?) just one way of creating a CL. I was using IDEA and was mostly creating CLs using a command line.
I am not familiar with the formal type theory, but this one is intuitive if you view it this way:

1. When A is a subtype of B, it means A can be used as B (a Teacher can be used by any function that accepts a Human).

2. static lifetime lives longer any other lifetimes, so it can be used as other lifetimes.
The comment that "this is the worst time of the year" hits it on the head.

How about the "New Years Resolutions of Code" instead?
IIRC the commenter regretted not being reachable by phone, and was cautioning others not to ignore calls that look like spam! But hey, if you think a school will go for cell phone blockers, be sure to try to convince one and let us know how it goes!
Same. I wrote a lot of Rust, even some open source libraries that are being used and generally feel comfortable using it but I learned a lot out of this very nice write-up.
Well I hate work too but there's different degrees of hate for different types of work.

When I was a kid, on my summer vacations, my parents would send me to my grandparents in the rural countryside. I loved it there, there would be all kind of enjoyable activities to do: fishing, swimming, playing football, reading (practically no TV since there was nothing on it but two hours per day of communist propaganda).

But inescapable among leisure there was also work. Farm work.

Scything is really hard and on top of that I'd be awaken at 5 AM in the morning, force fed and sent to the fields (with my grandpa and my cousin). It's cold in the morning and the grass is wet from the dew but I guess it beats doing this in the scorching heat of the day: https://romanialibera.ro/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/747678-1...

But the thing I really really hated was weed hoeing: https://nordnews.md/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/prasit-750x43...

Never fucking ending rows of corn or potatoes in the scorching heat of the day with leaves touching my sweating skin and irritating it as if the heat and sweat and dust weren't enough and on top of that the monotony of it. I would try to think of something useful or entertaining but inevitably I'd fall into a torpor where my mind would just shut off and only my body would mechanically carry on automatically. And worst of all, there was no point either hurrying up nor was it possible to slack off. Slacking off meant getting scolded for not keeping the pace. Hurrying up was even worse, I'd get tired and find out the reward at the end of finishing a never ending row of plants and weed was ... another row.

I do not recall it but my parents remind me that at some point I let go this from my mouth and sounded like it came from the depths of my soul: "I'd rather solve 1000 problems in mathematics than hoe just another row of weeds".

So I guess hating work is all about references. All work is hate-able but not to the same degree.
> This suggests there's alternative services available anyway, so why take the risk on Google at all?

Isn't that for people to decide for themselves? Few reasons I can think of: preference, trust, integrations, better features, don't want to support Comcast, etc.
On the topic of solo game devs... if this sounds like your jam (and modern mobile games isn't your jam) then consider the console homebrew scene as an outlet. All the "retro" platforms still have a pulse and several are thriving enough to have competitions and forums and podcasts.

8-bit NES and 16-bit Genesis (Mega Drive) both have a supportive community and one or two publishers who can take your game from ROM.BIN to physical cart and/or digital purchase.

Hardware limitations naturally demand fewer man-hours to build out a "complete" game. You won't make a fortune. Or a dime. But then neither did a lot of one-person shops in the original 8-bit days.

1 in 100 cancer odds is off by at least an order of magnitude. From the studies I've read, lifetime risk of cancer is about 1 in 3.

Killing i386 support allowed:

- dropping the “legacy” ObjC runtime, which lacked many features of the “modern” runtime that all other Apple platforms use. In particular, Swift couldn’t be used in system frameworks as long as the legacy runtime was still around.

- dropping the Carbon APIs, which were an entire alternate API surface only usable by 32-bit apps. Lots of old, obsolete stuff here that very few apps were using: QuickDraw, QuickTime, HIToolbox, Font Manager, etc.

- Disk space savings from not having to ship i386 slices
Well for one thing, I value my time. Dealing with getting a new service provider because the last one just decided to stop doing business is pretty low on the list of things I'd like to do with my time.

For another, Google has a ridiculous reputation for customer service. Even saying that is being generous, because most Google services just don't have customer service, at all.

I keep hearing "just go with someone else if they shut down" - so there clearly are alternative services available, presumably ones for whom providing a fibre service to customers is actually a core part of their business and revenue, rather than a side-gig of questionable long-term value to the corporation.

The marginal federal tax rate for someone making $50,000 is 12%. So every dollar spent on gas (or whatever other deductible expenses) would lower federal taxes by 12 cents.

But I'd be surprised if many drivers grossed more than $50K/year. If they earn less, the tax benefit of deductibility is even smaller.
"Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance plant nutrient uptake and reduce plant stress; yet, large-scale field inoculation trials with AMF are missing, and so far, results remain unpredictable."

My comment points out that Norway has done something amazing that other countries have not come close to doing.

Look at what the US (I am American) has done with our wealth: highest healthcare expenditure per capita (50% more than #2), 47th in life expectancy, fifth-highest incarceration rate.

What is served by reflexively trying to diminish Norway's accomplishments with a "BUT Singapore is more impressive"? Why not instead try to learn from Norway?

Then why aren't rents cratering? You think PE isn't renting these homes out?

Supply and demand applies here. These equity firms rent those homes out. So as they amass more and more housing, rent should be going down as there are more rental units on the market.

Unless the problem isn’t the equity firms. If the problem is just that there just isn’t enough housing, then it doesnt matter if you’re looking to buy or rent, somebody is going to outbid you regardless. Which is what is happening.

I’m always confused why people go to such lengths to find anybody to blame rather than the people who actually govern building housing: municipalities.

Either that or somehow we've all collectively suffered brain-damage and no longer know how to build a shelter for less than a $million.
Are there any headlines or articles from the Babylon Bee that you think of as being classics of the genre?

The overhead of an uncontested lock is not much more than a memory operation but it allows you to be able to use the same code in threaded context in tokio async which is a huge benefit. Unless you need the optimization (i.e. you profiled and determined that Arc in a hot loop is slowing you down) I think it's fine to use Arc in general.

> The analogy doesn't hold because anyone can send an email to anyone else on any service at any time.

Sorry, but I disagree. You can't just open a utility cabinet and establish TCP connections with random mail servers either. You have to explicitly enter a contract with a service provider to connect to Internet too.

And every mail system out there uses a bunch of precautions, like SPF, DMARC and of course it refers to some DNSBLs. I just cannot imagine any operational Internet-facing general-purpose SMTP system that doesn't.

Most ISPs out there outright filter out any tcp/25 traffic for their customers, residental or hosted. Typically (in case of server hosting) or less typically (in case of residental network access) this block can be lifted by going through some sort of pinky-swear "won't spam" KYC, but if you abuse it, you'll get booted off the platform real fast. And if it's too weak, the provider will very soon find themselves and their customers unable to send anything.

Because if a LIR doesn't respond to spam reports from their system, RDNSBL bans will very rapidly grow from just a single IP to progressively larger and larger subnet and then the whole AS. And getting out of a DNSBL isn't exactly fun. So network operators really hate email spam - it brings them nothing but headaches.

And that's why virtually all spam today comes from infected or hacked machines, and not some malicious people running a spam server.

I don't know where telephony spam comes from - as I've said I don't have much experience with this side of telecom, but I wouldn't be surprised if a vast majority of it would be from hacked/unsecured VoIP systems. I believe unscrupulous phone companies may be able to pull something, selling access to spammers, but that's probably once-or-twice-in-lifetime thing, because they won't be able to BS that they were hacked or something after a few incidents. (I highly doubt phone companies don't have a culture of blocking abusive peers. Internet operators surely do.)
The biggest issue with semver is that it encourages compatibility breakages under the false promise that increased major version number saves the users from the dependency hell.

https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/771

SemVer is a product of Ruby community.

In 2000s Ruby library authors were breaking compatibility left and right, neglecting elementary compatibility practices. If you were working on an application, every time when you update dependencies, the application would break.

So (in 2011 ?) they came out with this "manifesto" (Why such a big name? This scheme of versioning was well established in linkers and sonames of Unix-like systems for decades - it goes back to at least 1987 paper "Shared Libraries in SunOS").

It's a good thing SemVer acknowledged finally that compatibility is a serious matter. Only that it's better to discourage compatibility breakages. An in cases when it's really needed (I agree such cases exists), there are things to take care of in addition to simply increasing major version num.

It's interesting to see the paranoia FUD in the comments here around MITM, when this is happening on your own machine under your control, and it's open-source too. It should be painfully obvious by now that Big Tech is using "security" as an excuse to effectively force-feed you whatever they want, and depriving you of the right to refuse should be illegal.

Fuck the corporate-authoritarians who are taking away the freedom to do what we want to content that enters our machines. They've been fighting that war for a long time, and we can see through the tactics they've been using.

Is that true on APFS? I know they added it to HFS+ for Time Machine, but I’d assumed it’s no longer necessary (or possible) with the newer filesystem that allows for real snapshots.
Try to avoid reading these types of posts while you’re young. It’s very easy to become convinced that the “working world” is a giant evil conspiracy and that you should avoid it at all costs.

And then you’ll turn 30 and realize that you need money to buy stuff that you want. Important stuff, not frivolous consumer goods. And you’ll wish that you had pushed through the immaturity of youth and developed a good work ethic and a network you can use to find a decent job.

If you’re going to become anti-work, at least do it after a decade or two of hard work. You’ll have firsthand experience of the topic and (hopefully) some money to plan an escape.

I’d also note that with remote jobs, it’s easier than ever to build a life around something other than work. It’s entirely possible to work 5-8 hours a day, then spend the other 8 hours skiing/reading/gardening/whatever your hobby is.

The ISP sets up rack-cabinets full of equipment in central buildings where the “last mile” fiber terminates, close to the neighborhoods that they service. Each ISP that provides service to the area needs to have their own equipment there. This is how they differentiate and how one ISP can do 1Gbps while another might be able to do 2Gbps. Simply because they have installed different equipment. The fiber itself can of course support much more
