I guess my objection to characterizing this as a problem, is that it's the public's land held in trust for them. It would destroy the integrity of the system to not make it as discoverable and accessible as possible, within the bo

Isn't size_t defined as being able to fit the largest possible data allocation?

I think there are better anti-scalper methods. It probably won’t be 100% effective, but making it hard to transfer permits can help prevent a secondary marketplace from forming.

How did it work if you show up at the park and the whole campsite is full? As parks get busier, it seems like permits are pretty much the only fair and realistic path forward. I loved being able to drive off and show up, but it’s also nice

I believe there is a distinction here between Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, and Baxter State Park. Last I was aware, the latter contains the mountain itself.

How much are they paying? I suspect it may be a shocking premium.

I think even inside the government many recognize the need to reform the acquisition process to make true competition possible. Currently there is a lot of red tape (which doesn’t even seem to be working). It is a hard issue though. Perhaps

There is no non-wireless version of the Zero 2 (at least as far as I'm aware). The board OP posted has never been available for purchase for $7. Even the 32 bit armv6l predecessor cost $10 at launch And either way, as my previous post

Makes sense, looks like a cool project! Are you saying you don't think your software could run on a 32 bit SoC? That would surprise me, but you would certainly no better than I would. Edit: I didn't realize there was CV involved,

Most "how do I do X on the Raspberry Pi" questions are just "how do I do X on Linux" questions. Maybe there is some device specific stuff in the device tree, but if you're messing with that you're already in an

Have you looked into the beaglebone products? I assume you're talking about the business listed in your about page? If you're doing any kind of stepper motor control ,the AM335X and AM57XX SoC families seem to have some pretty coo

It may be overshoot, if the AC is so powerful that when it’s triggered to turn on, it’s tuned to cool WAY too much.

What does this have to do with centralization? Decentralization doesn't preclude panic selling. Maybe it wouldn't be a "bank run" because everything would be marked-to-market all the time, but you could presumably still

Isn't this a fundamental problem with consequentialism? If you can convince yourself of a serious enough consequence, you can do whatever you want. Steal, hurt, kill. As long as your actions lead to a .000001% chance of preventing Skyn

Fody says they have an “honesty system” and expect all users to pay, even if they’re not raising issues or PRs. That’s despite the fact that the code is MIT licensed. How is that a more ethical, straightforward, or profitable business model

I think the part of this that's weird to me, is that non-paying users are able to open issues or pull requests at all. Something about it feels very passive aggressive. Why not just have the public facing project be a fork of a private

Yeah! To be clear, it's not for any kind of performance or tech stack reason. As you said, it's the same thing at the end of the day. Rather, in my opinion, making the underlying VM more obvious is probably a good thing for learni

Is your main computer a Windows computer? A lot of people are recommending WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), but personally I think Hyper-V, Microsoft's hypervisor, would be a better option. I suppose you would know best, but it'

I said I'd try getting my Pixel 4a running again to do a comparison, but I'm feeling lazy and found this video comparing the 5a and the iPhone 13. So it's not exactly the comparison I had been making in my comment, but I thin

Wait, do you need a subscription to send SOS messages? If that's true, it's an awful idea and is obviously going to result in tons of awful PR.

The pictures just look bad compared to old ones from my pixel 4a. I'm not sure if it's a signal processing thing or what. I will try booting that up and posting a side by side in a bit.

I'm upgrading my iPhone 13 mini because having switched from a Pixel 4a, the camera performance is just unacceptably bad. It's a testament to how much I like the rest of the iPhone that I didn't just go back to the pixel. I b

Why do you think RPC is a cleaner design than REST? I think resource orientation works really well, most of the time.
