There are combination PoC (push-to-talk over cellular) + WiFi + VHF/UHF radios.

I think the problem as it relates to HAM radio as a hobby, is that if you have cell signal and cell phone, usually any other radio is less effective.

So while it is nice to use the interface/battery/CPU of a cell phone to drive a radio, it's superfluous if you have a cell signal. If you don't have a cell signal, usually having 5W for analog voice in an HT is much more important than having a special interface or digital modes.
While Ubuntu is a great distro to get things up and running, a lot of their decision making around snap has begun to make me hesitant to recommend it to people. While there is the political/open source angle in regards to how they are handling the servers for snap, my main issue is primarily the stability. Randomly I'll install something with apt and it will not give me an apt package, it will give me a non-standard snap package that becomes difficult to troubleshoot.

In the case of firefox, it basically makes it less stable than a nightly build considering how often it crashes, and subtly breaks screen sharing in weird non-obvious ways. This experience has me guessing that Canonical probably cares more about server Ubuntu now than it does about desktop Ubuntu, which is a real shame.

While there are workarounds, I specifically endorsed Ubuntu in the first place to many people because these kinds of workarounds used to not be necessary. It's a real bummer honestly, not sure what else to recommend in this category either.

>I rarely, if ever, read pro-nuclear saying that they aim to replace oil, coal and gas.

It is almost always implied. It seems so obvious that nuclear should be replacing fossil fuels it doesn't seem worth mentioning. Unless someone says they're aiming for an energy policy of nuclear plus fossil fuels, it's probably safe to say their goal is nuclear and solar/wind/etc.

Even the volcano comment you mention ends with "For energy we obviously need all the options available."
Distributions optimize for software in their repos. Software in their repos is compiled against libraries in their repos, so dynamic linking has no downsides and has the upside of reducing disk usage and runtime memory usage (sharing pages).

Your problem with "libFlac.8.so is missing" happens with using software not from the distro repos. Feel free to statically link it, or run it via AppImage or Flatpak or Podman or whatever you want that provides the environment it *was* compiled for. Whether the rest of the distro is dynamically linked or not makes no difference to your ability to run this software, so there's no reason to make the rest of the distro worse.

I personally do care about disk usage and memory usage. I also care about using software from distro repos vs Flatpak etc wherever possible, because software in the distro repos is maintained by someone whose values align with me and not the upstream software author. Eg the firefox package from distro repos enables me to load my own extensions without Mozilla's gatekeeping, the Audacity package from distro repos did not have telemetry enabled that Audacity devs added to their own builds, etc.

Fun effect: When finally confronted with the page-leave dialog, I automatically went for the non-default, grey option button – and was kind of surprised that this wasn't the option I wanted.

I've a minor criticism: The "No thanks" button should really be "Remind me later" and possibly greyed out, since any negative wording is allegedly bad UX and users must be protected from any blunt denials in any options. "Maybe later" is also acceptable and even empowering, since this places users on equal footing as they are now lying to the website just as this is lying to them.

My wife had a Cryo Chamber Therapy for a few weeks and had to measure pressure and pulse before each session so they let her in. After about a week she was refused entry because her pressure was too high (when she measured it at home - it was normal).

Since then she had problems getting admited every time, and she started to fear the measurement (she had to drive there during work and do overtime later).

She started arguing with the guy and wasted like 5 days driving there and back during work without having another session because the pressure and pulse were too high (despite both being OK at home).

Eventually she went to another person in that hospital to measure her pressure. It was perfect. But when the guy near the entrance to the cryo chamber measured it - it was too high to let her enter.

They tried different instruments and the difference was the same. When the guy measured it - it was too high. When somebody else measured it - it was fine. Finally they let her do the cryo chamber without the guy permission :)

We assumed the difference was just that she was anxious and frustrated when she's seen the guy, but now I wonder if the difference was the position in which he measured the pressure.

The point is there are downstream costs to our moribund shipping industry. We have a internally-navigable waterways we barely use, offshore wind power gets stalled due to lack of ships, et cetera.

Post-WWII effects are one component. But another is that we want a protected shipbuilding industry for its own purposes, which is fine, but that curtails a lot of other production.

> You can also have suburbs that are walkable/cycleable

You can, but not to the same degree. Because it's just a matter of distance and density.

If you have a store and you have to service, say, 1,000 people to make it profitable you might have a store every .5 miles in the city. Maybe that then translates to 5 miles in the suburb. Well... it's not very easy to walk 5 miles. It's trivial to walk .5 miles.

Stores are one example, but this really applies to literally everything. Besides things like parks, which don't need to turn a profit.

Sure, you can have walkable suburbs in that you can walk in the suburbs. But, to me, that's not what walkable means. Walkable means I should be able to do ALL of my tasks, whatever they may be, without a car. That's not possible in a suburb. I can't walk to the office, or the store, or the bank, or whatever. But it's very possible, and even trivial, in cities.

"Walkable" infrastructure only really matters if there's somewhere to walk to. Sure, it's nice having sidewalks that lead nowhere, but people won't turn to them like they would in Chicago.
Saying "catholics" instead of "Christians" is about the same as saying "Visigoths" instead of "Germanic tribes". I don't know why you would resist more precision. In the context of the times, it stands in opposition to e.g. "Eastern orthodox" (after the Great schism) or "Aryan".
More important note to people reading this: use your brain. Is it likely that a scammer will create an extremely professional website and product, and then their scam is that ride the coat tails of another brand and try to keep that scam up with Hacker News comments?

So using your numbers, it is solidly a little less than half the cost, not one tenth (26GWh seems around the necessarily amount for riding out ~14 hours of darkness. I'm assuming your factor of 3 makes up for seasonal variation and cloudy days). The panels take up 9 acres of land area, and need to be kept clean of snow and dust. The battery lifetime is small compared to expected life of a nuclear reactor, but the battery lifecycle is more straightforward. This seems like the territory of having a reasonable tradeoff between the two, not some unequivocal win for an Internet smackdown about how we should avoid one approach.

Hmm, I don’t know anything about ebikes but normal bikes seem to be going back to BSA threaded bottom brackets.

The last 3 bikes I’ve bought have had BSA.
You can still buy bikes like that. There are plenty of people still making frame sets that will work with standard drive train components, standard sized stems, and plain ol handlebars in a variety of shapes. And they will build a bike for you.

I bought a Rivendell about 10 years ago and it's probably my last bike. Is a steel frame heavier than carbon? Yes, a bit, but I don't have to throw it away after a crash, it rides like a dream, and the weight difference is less than the extra "water bottles" I carry around my midsection. Most of the weight of the bike+rider (which is what you have to haul around) is the rider, not the bike, and the frame is just a fraction of the weight of the bike!

Even though new bikes are getting more and more proprietary, I don't foresee a time when I can't buy a new Shimano cassette or other replaceable parts.
LTE set that back by a lot. For years there were no VoLTE implementations in common use other than stuffs on Android. Even those had compatibility issues and lots of carriers still block unapproved clients trying to register on VoLTE.

For 3G, you could always do that. You only needed the right modem module with voice call support and audio I/O, like bare PCM pins, and a host micro to handle AT commands.

You can't even prove the mind exists. So maybe it doesn't, and the foundation for all of your dualism collapses in on itself.

All you really have is the emergent behavior of all that brain matter, and the fact that such things can be given description at various levels of abstraction.

Popperian science is completely unequipped to deal with the brain, or complex, evolving, particularistic systems generally, including evolution. You need a model based science instead. You are completely incorrect that Popperian science is the universally accepted definition of science. It's not true in the philosophy of science, and its not even true among scientists. It's merely a first pass description of a broad mechanism of knowledge generation that is used in many fields of science.

> The public and decision makers react irrationally to any failure, putting funding for other missions and the entire program in jeopardy. NASA and ESA have to make some extremely suboptimal decisions to make sure that funding doesn’t get catastrophically cut.

Which, incidentally, is one of the key reasons SpaceX has had the success they have: they're set up to handle failure and avoid this politics. How many Starships have blown up? If Starship were a NASA program, how many explosions ago would it have been cancelled? And yet this approach to risk is pretty effective!
OP here.

What was telling to me is that even new media websites are using other CMSs or building something of their own these days. WordPress was almost synonymous with the online news media for a time. This is exactly the area where you need multiple authors, taxonomy, and other things you mentioned.

WordPress itself pushed heavily into ecommerce, because it was a more promising area. But at the end of the day, the fact both Automattic and WP Engine earn enough money from enterprise orgs doesn't mean the tech situation here is too different from IBM. Yes, it's big. Yes, lots of people use it. Will it define anything in the future of the web? Not really.

Correct me if I'm wrong Linux only supports KSM (memory-deduping) between processes when doing it between VMs, as QEMU provides information to the kernel to perform it.

Separate of the product itself...I have to compliment whoever designed the landing page! I'm not a UX/UI/page design expert, but here is what i experience:

* the page loads quick - without overlays, distractions, etc. the page gets to the point, and fast

* immediately i see a description of what the product is...this might sound funny, but tons of product sites lack this most basic thing!

* In addition, the very brief video at the top shows a human hand operating the product...so i know even more about its functions, or at least how to interact with product

* a call-to-action of "BUY" is present and impossible to miss, positioned right after/below the product intro/description

* as i scroll down, the experience is NOT janky...its a smooth scroll down the page

* scrolling down informs me more about the product, including its features, different angles of the physical product (to help denote the features), they even squeeze in that there are developer options - so i'm tipped off that its not only a consumer device, but that it can be integrated with other systems, expanded by devs, etc.!

* they include more product photos in order to show how the product may appear and/or be used in real life

* they even include photo and description of certain features - which serve almost as a very brief user guide, but again, i'm sure the intent is to show off the product's feature set

There probably are other great things about this page that i have not noted here...But, again, kudos to the person/team who designed this! I see many teams that are really intelligent, and might have great products/service, but they don;'t include half the elements present here. Because while i don't have interest in this product, damn, this an extremely compelling experience for their product! Cheers and kudos to all involved!!!!!!!
Appreciate the work you're doing, and to be clear: I'm not defending any of Bosch's business practices and vendor lock-in[0].

Perhaps this is a hard/impossible problem to solve, but I feel like the issue isn't so much the shared libraries, it's the fact that you need different versions of a shared library on a system for it to function. As a result, the interface for communicating that "I have version 1, 2, 3" has basically just been linking against filenames.

But here's the part that feels wasteful that I wish could be solved. From version 1.0 to 2.0, probably 90% of most libraries are completely unchanged. Yet still we duplicate just to solve the problem.

What if instead of having a .so per version, we packaged together a computable shared object and had the compiler/linking system incorporate versions when making a link? From there, we could turn the requests for versions be something like "Hey, I need 1.2.3" and the linking system say "1.2.3 consists of these chunks from the shared repository". That could be manifest and cached by the OS.

For example, imagine fooLib has functions foo, bar, baz in version 1.2.3 and foo, bar, baz, blat. in 1.4.3. You could have a small hash of each of the functions in foo and store off the hash of those functions in a key value store for foo. From there you could materialize the runtime of foo 1.2.3 when requested by a library.

New versions would essentially be the process of sending down the new function chunks and there would be no overriding of versions. But, it would also give OS maintainers a route to say "Actually, anything that requests version 1.2.3 will get 1.2.3.1-patched because of a CVE". Or you could even hotpatch in the same function on all versions in the case of CVE having a more targeted patching system.

I've often wondered about if we could do a really granular dependency graph like this. Mainly because I like the idea of only shipping out the smaller changes and not 1gb of stuff because of what might break.

WTF? On the contrary!

... the size is just part of the problem. The duplication is another part. A system depending on a 100K different versions of libraries/utils instead of, oh, say, 5K. And there's the memory usage, as others mentioned.

Also, there really isn't more trouble locating shared libraries today than 10 years ago; if anything, the opposite is true. Not to mention how there is even more searchable "crowd support" resources today than back then, for when you actually do have such issues.

So...

> How come GNU/Linux is worse than it was 10 years ago?

I think it's actually better overall:

* Less gotchas during installation

* Better apps for users' basic needs (e.g. LibreOffice)

* Less chance of newer hardware not being supported on Linux (it still happens though)

but if you asked me what is worse, then:

1. systemd.

2. Further deterioration of the GNOME UI. Although TBH a lot of that sucked 10 years ago as well (e.g. the file picker)

3. Containerization instead of developers/distributors having their act together

but certainly not what the author is trying to push. (shrug)
Nuclear is still much more expensive than renewables in China, where there aren't too many "misguided greenies" setting policy. Environmentalists were successful in opposing nuclear construction because it was expensive and unprofitable, not the other way around.

The faster people can internalize this lesson, the sooner we'll get to economically-viable nuclear power.
> nearly 7TWh by 2030

That's a big number. Here's a bigger one: 30,000 TWh, about our current electricity consumption [1]. 7 TWh in 2030 is less than 1/4,000th total electriciy production today. (You obviously don't need 1:1 coverage. But 2 hours in 2030 against a year's demand today is still a nudge.)

Now consider EVs. Then add the tens of TWh of annual power demand AI is expected to add to power demand [2]. (And I'm assuming a free market for battery cells, which obviously isn't where we're heading. So add local production bottlenecks to the mix.)

Battery numbers are going up. But they aren't going up fast enough and never could have, not unless we ditch electrifying transportation. Nukes or gas. Anyone pretending there is a third way is defaulting to one or the other.

The abysmal state of GNU/Linux is exactly why I moved to OpenBSD many years back. It's small, simple and very stable.

The BSDs are definitely not for everyone, and they come with their own set of tradeoffs. However, it is safe to say that all BSDs are better today than 10 years ago. Small and steady improvements over time.

Sure, but if someone started running heavy industrial concrete equipment in a residential zoned block 24/7, than the city wouldn't be blaming poor people for the issues.

The fact is you can go to travel websites, and the first 70k listings in some cities are for commercial hotel/share services running out of residential zoned homes.

Low-income people are easier to squeeze, and "with a computer" convenience doesn't make it an ethical securitization model. =3
