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. The people of Earth li

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 its type system.

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). It is mostly not a p

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 stick three 7ft wooden

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 and ex
