Also, if you dont think Apollo had pork in it, you're not aware enough of the history, the various assembly plants were placed mostly for political support, the shuttle and now SLS follows the same pattern.

You should just find a good shadow box for it, it'll look good

To my knowledge, while authoritarian it's not a totalitarian state, and Singapore has fairly effective means of redress (aka, rule of law).

I think a good protocol however is key for adoption. Many a good idea has died an early death because the implementation of it was, too complex, insufficiently robust, or poorly thought out for the future.

Only at the point of emission however...

I'd actually assume closer to 100km of coverage, 60 miles or so is a conservative estimate of coverage, in the prairies I would expect it to go much further - 500w of output on high band VHF goes quite quite far - I know how far the US NWS stations cover, and its much closer to 60+ miles.

This seems insane, particularly given the short notice period for the shutdown.

This so much.

We just got code complete on porting a 30 year old Delphi app to C#, because of all of this.

Even now, our pure Delphi components are performant and wonderful, but hiring people who want to learn or know Delphi is hard, so off to C# we trundle forward.

the difference between gosub and if blocks calling a function is more academic than practical, you still have a main event loop sending your path of execution someplace based on something that happens.

I might not be a basic practitioner, but as someone who as written serious things in bash and powershell, I can see the allure.

I have said for years - Micropayents, something like the traffic settlement system for termination charges in the NANPA PSTN, and when I say micropayments I mean 1000ths of a cent. Then the content that does cost money (news, social media, whatever can be monetized and the users are paying for consumption.

There are no known updates for my car unfortunately - annoyingly my wife's iPhone 16 works fine.. in both of our cars.

Now if they'd only fix the CarPlay issues, I really miss working navigation in my car.

I have called and opened tickets, and I keep hearing it'll be fixed real soon now.

I'm not sure that you need root because of the port - I think login itself needs to run as root, otherwise it cant login to anything other than the account its running under.

I dont know that they even need to get the same yield to get the benefits, even as low as 80% of the productivity would get you the benefits.
