This is the middle way.
Yes, the economy of Earth in The Expanse is an extractive colonial one not unlike what we have now in the US. It is the logical extrapolation of the current neo-liberal economic model we have now projected into space.…
We'll never be Star Trek without these because the tech of Trek will just be used by the powerful to exploit and repress us.
Another reason not to install big tech's apps and only use their websites if you must. Not only our their websites painful which discourages use, websites are more sandboxed.
Maybe. When using ARDOP, my laptop generates an audio stream that is then transmitted over SSB, so theoretically it might work. We have SSB, audio in/out, and cat control, so all the pieces are there.
Yes exactly. The real world is full of examples of a fixed set of exclusive options. A programming language without sum types and exhaustive pattern matching in its type system is unable model this real world concept in…
At the risk of making this another Go vs Rust comment, I hesitate to mention this, but Go developers copy structs all the time. We do it mostly as a way to make values immutable (and to avoid nil checking all the time).…
If Go had sum types and expressive pattern matching I think it would be my favorite language. I'm so sick of writing "if err != nil", just give me a Result type. If there was a version of Rust was garbage collected, I…

I heard this phrase often when studying for my license, "Your license is a license to learn". It took me a few months to really internalize that. Getting into the hobby, I was looking to unlock exclusive frequencies…
Let's say it like it is, it is the legalization of profiting off of an addiction that is the mistake.
I'll add that POTA and antenna building is just a small sliver of this hobby of hobbies. Josh of Ham Radio Crash Course did a talk the various things you can do with a technician's license…
I second this. You can get on HF with very little space. If you have 16ft of space, you can easily put up a temporary 10 meter dipole. I have an HOA, so every time want to get on HF at home I put up the 10m dipole. I…
They come here because America has made a far worst hellscape of their homeland through extreme resource extraction and coups. Western extractive capitalism strip mines the Global South of all local wealth leaving the…

The old fashion way, friends. I only have so much time in the day. I can only consume so much content. I don't need AI or machine learning to filter a firehose of content. My friends provide a human scale stream of…
Scheme https://spritely.institute/static/papers/scheme-primer.html
The Meshtastic site says that supports up to 80 device nodes depending on settings used. It is more geared towards a group of trusted people communicated with each other than a general purpose network anyone can use.
Read bell hooks' "The Will to Change" to start. As someone on the far-left, we talk about positive masculinity all the time. The whole concept of intersectional feminism is that there are different classes of privilege…
YAML even has the worst form of macros I've even encountered in the form of go templates.
