HN user
you sound like a wise 35yo. Hanging around those old folk has some benefits.
I worked really hard with no one to help in a rural community to get my licence at 13, then after saving up and buying an old tube rig finding the disappointment of talking to old men about the weather.
Then the Internet hit.
Any chance of a link to your app?
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Leave some spectrum available, as unregulated as feasible, with some bar to entry.
Let nature, human nature, fill the gap. It will. In ways we can't predict.
There will be serendipity, genius, frustration, innovation, conflict, debate. These are all good things when you give a shared resource to passionate smart motivated (qualified) public.
Long live ham radio
I'm struggling to understand HN these days. This is being downvoted, and IMHO is the key question to ask the folk putting in the effort.
Would love a downvoter to give a hint...
Would appreciate more info. We are on .xyz and haven't had issues but maybe haven't noticed.
TIA
Amen
FT8 is amazing and would be an amazing way to suck people on HN in. It's fun without transmitting. I'm at the bottom of New Zealand and get transmissions from all over the world including our antipode, Europe. And that's with a crappy short wave receiver with a tiny built in antenna that you can get for <$100.
The fact that someone made the FT8 modulation scheme up out or the blue and people started adopting it and using it and having fun shows the spirit of ham radio.
I bet there are folk on here who would be able to come up with some interesting new modulation schemes to push the envelope even further.
It's a shame that the venn diagram intersection between the modern tech world and ham radio isn't larger.
Can someone explain what the motivation is behind running Darwin?
I drive and maintain older mercs, and don't really give a shit about problems in the first 90 days, for me it's number of problems at 20 years. These surveys don't reveal anything about that.
I feel for the hard core automotive engineers who are forced to allow the monstrosity that is Bluetooth into their works of art.
Zerotier has changed my life.
Stop reading and try it right now anyone reading this who isn't familiar with it
Yea that's kind of insane isn't it?
I wish there was a lite version of the Web with enforced resource constraints
Haha my other comment was both down voted and flagged.
Think about the chronology then reinterpret my question.
When I was 12 I was very active. To only ever have seen USB-C this person might well be a prodigy.
Again, honest question. Calm down with the hate boys and girls, try not to assume everyone is malicious
No I think this is important. Are they that wildly different from each other that they aren't that useful? Is one better than the rest?
Does it support:
Differential pair routing
Pin swapping... ie a differential pair where the pins can be reversed
Pin agnostic routing, ie a MCU or FPGA where it doesn't matter which pin is used
Incremental part placement, unlike kicad where all the footprints get dumped on the board in a big mess at the start
These are things that bother me most in kicad (it does have diff pair routing)
Thanks - looking forward to taking it for a spin
Here in NZ we've kept it under control and I would be surprised if anyone considered our press constrained relative to any other country.
That's a big call there buddy.
There is basically no plant based diet that can be made more healthy with the addition of animal products.
If there is let us know. You'll probably get a Nobel prize for the revelation
Silver lining to this COVID tragedy
Surely just installing an app voluntarily would get enough tracing to be effective?
As a kiwi who has spent half my life living in different countries, I can say trust in the government here, while not universal, is higher than anywhere else I've been. I think most people would do it
Open source projects!
Find the highest profile one you can with horrendous design, that you have an interest in, and dive in.
This does good for everyone plus you get a highly visible record of contributing to OSS. Win win win.
Good luck
