In my experience, enforcement of the rules is unheard of.

Rather than rewrite the entire SDR++ core in a separate project, maybe it would be better to incrementally port the existing code to Rust in a fork. I don't know what attitude the maintainers have toward Rust, though.

It may be possible to increase the bandwidth by increasing the sample rate on both ends, but this quickly leaves the realm of consumer audio equipment (and consumer pricing). At some point you'd exceed the reasonable frequency responses for each device, as well as the medium. I imagine that air attenuates ultrasonic frequencies more than lower ones, but that's just a guess.

Physicists thought the same thing c. 1900, but then one of the "corner cases" turned into the ultraviolet catastrophe[1]. The consequences of the solution to that problem kept the whole field busy for a good part of the 20th century.

I'm highly skeptical of the idea that physics is anywhere near complete. The relative success of our technology gives us the illusory impression that we're almost done, but it's not obvious that physics even has a single, complete description that we can describe. We assume it does for convenience, in the same way that we assume the laws are constant everywhere in spacetime. I view this as both exciting and terrifying, but mostly exciting.

This is different from meaningless work that brings you nothing except a paycheck, which I agree is important to minimize or eliminate. We should apply machines to this kind of work as much as we can, except in cases where the work itself doesn't need to exist.

A "pancreas kit" can fit in a bag small enough to be carried in one hand, so it shouldn't be necessary to hold up an evacuation by carrying something large. As others have mentioned, this is also likely an instinctive reaction, and it's hard to criticize someone for reacting that way in such a stressful situation.

I guess I'm trying to say that, at least for me, it's been more pleasant to entertain these ideas as comforting fantasy, and I don't think that small personal allowance has eroded my more practical abilities elsewhere. Not struggling so much against this kind of thinking has freed me in a certain way.

1. Try various techniques that might trick the firewalls on both ends to let the connection through. This requires a relay for the initial negotiation only.

2. If (1) fails, then use a relay for everything.

This is not enough training to operate safely, in my opinion. Even in VFR conditions, I think it would be negligent for an instructor to turn a 20-hour pilot loose without further oversight. Even if a student pilot has flown solo by that point in their training, their instructor still needs to sign off on all cross-country flights. Entering Class B with 20 hours is out of the question in my view.

I also disagree that the Sport license meaningfully decreases the cost of general aviation. The largest expenses are fuel and aircraft rental fees or maintenance, neither of which are mitigated in the long term by a shorter training period.

It sounds like you are probably more experienced than I am, so maybe I'm wrong.

In general I agree that this might not be significant, unless the total value of the current contract is large or there are notable research or engineering results.

As I write this, there's some light precipitation just north of Toronto, and threecast seems to give reasonable output there. Note that the radar coverage areas aren't always perfect circles because terrain can block the radar beam.

Canada may have a similar system with better coverage, but I'm not sure.

If you use the NOAA desktop tool[1] to view the data from NEXRAD stations, you can compare to services like DarkSky and see that they are very likely using it without much editing.

The simplest nowcasts use optical flow techniques rather than meteorological modelling. On short time scales (less than an hour), these methods can give passable results. I built a tool[2] that pulls this NWS data from their Web server and gives you a nowcast.

Not saying there aren't plenty of neat applications out there, but once the initial "that's cool" feeling wore off, I wasn't sure how to actually get some value out of the system. For me, it felt like a time sink.

Curious to know if others have found use cases that are low-maintenance and high-value.

Of course, the compiler would have no way to lay out the factory with respect to available resource deposits. Maybe that would have to be part of the specification as well? Or maybe the programmer (player?) could pass an empty map file as a compiler argument.

Also, this doesn't give any consideration to the tech tree or enemies within the game. I guess those could be compiler flags, as long as we're dreaming.

Look, all I'm saying is that it would be really cool to be able to check factories into version control.

At first I resisted every change. What good is VS Code when I have Vim? Why would I learn TypeScript when vanilla JS has "worked" for me for so long? What's a Webpack config?

Once I began using the tools that my coworkers recommended, I started treading water and even swimming with purpose in the ocean of Web UI technology. I still have a lot to learn, but I probably would have kept on avoiding this area if my situation hadn't forced me into it. Letting my guard down and following the trends in my group helped a lot in this case.

The best lessons I learned during that period are that learning can't kill me and using good tools doesn't make you a bad engineer.

But the structure is the same.
