A lot of Linux systems (most as far as I know but could be wrong) actually ship vim but in a very stripped down build and set up to run in vi compatibility mode by default, e.g. vim.tiny on Debian and Ubuntu. BSD systems often use nvi, whic

Sorry I was turned around, been a while since I was in Raleigh but I meant Waraji on Duraleigh in that little strip mall. I'll always have a soft spot for Sushi Tsune, too, though.

Waraji over by the fairgrounds was always my favorite sushi (and Japanese food in general) place in Raleigh. It fairly traditional, so not swimming in sauces and cream cheese while also having some more ... and they have some really good sa

There is no real debate about whether climate change is real nor whether or not it is a major threat, but there is still debate on policy-relevant points. I'm not a climate scientist myself, but I do work with a bunch of them and from

Fun/learning. This is actually quite a sophisticated engineering challenge and there is a ton of stuff to be learned. I would love to do this if I had the time.

It just happens to be a convenient feature of said anarcho-capitalist society that he would be free to oppress non-whites. You're cherry picking one particular argument he makes without considering his other espoused beliefs.

I agree with you. I edited my original comment to clarify a bit.

Fair, but is the distinction actually important in this case? It seems to me to be more of a means of obfuscating/derailing the discussion of Molyneux's views.

That's missing the forest for the trees... advocating for a "white ethnostate" is not the only thing that makes you a white supremacist and that's the real crux of the comparison. Making the distinction doesn't chan

There is also already ARPA-E, which is a similar mandate to DARPA (i.e., risky projects with high payoff) for energy technology. How effective it has been thus far is a matter of debate due to a variety of factors, but I like the basic idea

We're talking about encryption, though. Isn't the core of the PACTOR debate related to it being proprietary, not that it's encrypted? Transmitting in a format that is not readily decoded is also problematic legally, but to me

by gh02t 6y ago
Encryption is optional (or not available) in all of the proprietary digital modes used by amateurs, so amateurs simply don't use it even when the radio allows. As a practical matter enforcement can actually be quite difficult and I&#x2

What? The US government and others are still building these computers because they are valuable. Summit for example is nearly constantly in use at full capacity and has enabled a huge variety of research. It's hardly a "reserve&qu

They did it before with Rosetta when they switched to Intel. Times and uses are different, but it'd be hard to imagine otherwise.

For a standard serial terminal I also really like the `miniterm.py` script that is included with the PySerial Python package. miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 It's just a basic serial terminal but it covers all of my

They sort of do, the official KiCAD part libraries are actually hosted on Github https://kicad.github.io/ . A lot of distributions kinda mess this up by distributing static snapshots, but I usually clone the Git repo and the

I used to read manga on an OLED tablet and it was wonderful with the true blacks. I've tried reading it on my Kindle and it's overall quite pleasant as well, but really makes you wish the display was bigger.

I've used the Plantower PMS7003 sensors for some DIY particulate sensors. I don't have a lab reference to calibrate against, but they should be pretty accurate as they are a laser sensor and the readings I got out of them were ver

Interesting, but does anybody know which USB meter is this meant to be used with? I can't actually find it in any of the docs or links, but maybe I'm overlooking it.

Hmm... I'm pretty sure MURS allows for this type of traffic as of the last rules revision and would be ideal for this use with the higher power allowance, but MURS is a USA only thing so that kinda limits you if the goal is something t

You can actually buy microgram quantities if you know where to look, it's occasionally used in laboratories as a test source. You could buy larger quantities if you had a really good justification and were willing to pay for the cost

Hmm, I was looking at the wrong figure on the page, the higher power model is much bigger than I was estimating from the pictures. Still, I imagine these at least have more stable performance at extreme temperatures. Would be nice if they h

You don't even need the TG part if you just want to heat the water. Drop an alpha source with a heat sink in there and it'll heat the water directly. Of course, all the isotopes suitable for use in an RTG are a) extremely dangerou

This is not a battery per se, it's really a generator . Over 20 years this thing is worth something like 20 watt-hours, but is far smaller than the equivalent primary cell (because it doesn't store energy, at least not chemically

I agree, but it isn't surprising that this part of the company was shut down. The article says the chip was designed to implement a protocol that ended up going nowhere (Wireless HD). Lattice was probably interested in the tech and pat

Separating Monte Carlo methods from math theory is an odd distinction to make. There's a lot of sophisticated theory underlying Monte Carlo methods as well. MC also is more of a loose term referring to a class of techniques, rather tha

Yeah, a lot of high-value secure systems run Linux and GNU. Web services, government systems, the vast majority (edit: it's now all ) of the TOP500 supercomputers etc. I suspect at least part of it is that these systems get much more
