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 starting point. I built a package for KiCad in a trivial am

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 clear why I'm interested. For me it matters not if

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 amateur with cost-next-to-nothing gear.

Guanajuato city, Mexico. I lived there for a while, <$1k no problem. Not humid, perfect climate. Adorable place. I ended up there because I did some analysis of climate data for all of Mexico and it came out on top. https://en

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 yea, I'm not sold either. No one really is u

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, but I wonder what 3.3% of that number would be. Sa

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 is a public social safety net which you can't fall bel

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 about. I hope that's not the case but I get the feel

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 support attached. I might be an idiot but pretty sure most c

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 these universally loved and respected gurus

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 everything they are not. I can't stress how much I hope this suc

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 if I were better off I'd drop the $10k or so and do some

@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 headline and clicking expecting there to be deaths.

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 orders of magnitude less complicated than hi

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 much as possible over the last decade or so. It did, I

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 production services. This guy is clearly a tallanted wiza

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

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