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 amount of time.
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 Ruby is slow, until it does, which is usually a very specific and obvious piece of code.
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.
Edit: I lived there 5 years ago and USD$1k per month would have been plenty, but a nomad website I just looked up lists it at $1250. I'm surprised by that, I think you would be fine. In fact I know people who live there who don't earn anything near $15k USD per year.
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 until we get the hard truth. Nothing more complex (and chaotic) than society and it's economy. Good luck modelling and predicting that reliably ha!
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.
Say you spent 1T on cows, and spent it proportionally. That's a 30T fund overall. So around half from memory of what the US spent on the post 9/11 wars.
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 below. So no one is ever really desperate.
I understand if you're based in the US why you think this way, but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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 feeling that there are major issues which might make it implausible to do this.
It just seems like if it was that simple then governments would be pouring billions - no TRILLIONS - of research dollars into this. Cattle are such a big part of greenhouse emissions that if this really had legs without some underlying problem it would be funded like a war effort.
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 crime will just go away, then we can spend proper resources to help and support (and punish when needed) the few offenders who really struggle to stay within the rules of society.
There are a few genuinely 'bad people' out there. But it's vanishingly small. Most people do bad things because of their circumstances. Lets fix the root cause then we can get rid of most of the cops (i.e. the shit ones), & most of the jails.
I don't particularly want to start a debate here. I know it's not all so simple. Just dreaming.
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.
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 something random just for the experience. Maybe a bunch of different little designs on one IC.
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 high accuracy GNSS on the whole
So... a random dilution of precision generator could... save lives? ha.
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 believe, have one unforeseen side-effect: I now struggle to multitask in relatively simple situations where it's necessary. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older (42), but I seem to struggle with it much more than any of my peers.
Still, I wouldn't change anything. I believe I'm as or more productive per unit of time than anyone I've worked with.
Edit - one more side effect: I used to regularly work 12+ hour days. Now I'm _completely_ spent after 7-8 hours, as those hours are so intense.
