Alpine has been my daily driver on all my desktops for a few years now. So happy with it. Try making a package - it's one big repo and really easy to use another package as a start…

Apologies if this is obvious - is this ISA specific, or does it sit upon cross platform libs? I ask because I'm *very* interested in this, but am working on ARM Edit - just to be c…

For sure. Although i think most people with enough radio knowledge to even go down this path also know how trivial it is to track down the source of interference, even for an amate…

Guanajuato city, Mexico. I lived there for a while, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanajuato_City Edit: I lived there 5 years ago and USD$1k per month would have been plenty, but a…

Bingo

UBI no one knows. Being sold or otherwise doesn't matter. Small trials here and there aren't much use. We need a country with balls to try it like Portugal did with drug policy. So…

Good point. Random thought experiment - how much should the global 'fund' be to attack greenhouse gas emissions. Not that it should be spent in proportion to % of total emissions, …

How about a legal and regulated sex industry. I live in a country with next to no violent premeditated murders, next to no violent robbery. And a LOT of very poor people. But there…

I really want this to be real and rolled out, but I feel like even though we've been reading about this for years there is a (or a few) big show stoppers which no one is talking ab…

UBI + health (and other calamity) insurance for all. A strong public mental health system. Prescription drugs of every kind, heroin, meth, whatever. With the right counselling and …

The emotional response in the comments to any tech heavyweight person seems to be pretty mixed here on HN. Except JC. Who else? Doug Engelbart? Woz? The list is pretty short of the…

Thanks

Having had the nightmare of dealing with the old school satcom companies for offshore sailing (super low bandwidth needs), everything about these guys stands out as being everythin…

Oh man how this makes me want to make the jump from normal electronics design into doing a chip. They might not allow it (no chance of marketplace sales or follow-on volume), but i…

@dang "Mid air just north of KAPA- all parties OK" is the more appropriate headline on reddit. As an aviator my stress levels are only just coming down now from seeing this headlin…

Yea, this is a really good point that isn't well known. We've improved GNSS significantly, but the technology to avoid collisions hasn't been widely deployed, even though it's orde…

Warning - I read some early research about this topic, something I was interested in at the time, around 15 years ago. Since then I've been actively trying to avoid multitasking as…

Wow what a cool site. Can't find the password for xenix though

WTF? how is this comment downvoted EDIT: Oh got it... surprise surprise guess which company's tech team is hitting refresh every five seconds on this page

It's incredible what one person with EDA + CAD software can do today. Stuff that not long ago would have taken a team. That said, it's not just the modern tooling and cheap product…

If I were to build a bat virus research center... i'd put it close to where bats are. So these aren't independent. But your point is still a good one

I did. Just off to try it now

"An insidious aspect of FB's Pixel is that it automatically attaches listeners to a bunch of stuff on the page such as buttons and sends back interactions and associated metadata[1…

Dark Ambience feels a bit like George Michael's 'OLDER' to me, or at least reminds me of it strongly. Nice work
