To which device are you referring?

The Fairphone 6+ is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile in the US and their MVNOs.

Looks great! For other T-Mobile users, it actually supports the full range of frequency bands. Quite a few devices claim T-Mobile support but are then missing band 12 or 71 on LTE or n71 on 5G, all of which are critical for coverage outside of cities.

It's a great day every time one of these hits the RSS reader. Great work as always Paged Out team!

There is no realistic path to a veto-proof majority for Democrats in the midterm elections. If there was, Trump would be impeached and removed before EVs were addressed.

Don't expect any movement on EV legislation unless and until Democrats take back the White House in 2028

Very cool! Would this work with Cloudflare Workers potentially?

In person, proctored blue book exams are back! Sharpen those pencils kids.

I've been wondering lately if one of the good things to come out of heavy LLM use will be a return to mostly in-person interactions once nothing that happens online is trustworthy anymore.

I mean it's mathematically a tighter range. I think part of this comes down to the more mild and less variable European climate. There is just less emphasis on air temperature so you don't see the drawbacks.

Your tape measure didn't have 1/3, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 subdivisions? Sounds like a bad tape measure (or really just one where US Customary was an afterthought).

As for science, well, most people don't do it. Those that do can use different things in different contexts, it's not that hard.

I'd part with cups and teaspoons/tablespoons and the like, but you'll pry inches/feet/yards and fahrenheit from my cold, dead hands. They're both more convenient for daily use. I think I'd prefer to keep miles as well but I don't have a good reason for that one.

Fahrenheit has more precision without using decimals for the thing 99% of people are using temperature measurements for: air temp. Where I live, we generally experience 5 degrees F - 100 degrees F at different points of the year. That's 95 degrees of precision with no decimal. In C, that's -15 to 37.8, a mere 52.8 degrees. The difference between 75 (usually a beautiful day) and 85 (hot) is 23.8C to 29.4C. Everything packed into this tight range.

Inches/feet being base 12 divides better into thirds and fourths, which is very useful in construction.

For science, sure, I'll use metric.

He seems to quite like Keir Starmer and Meloni.

I can't speak to any original purpose of the act, but Real IDs in practice have never guaranteed a person currently has legal status. It is not even enough on its own to demonstrate the ability to legally work (see form I-9).

If you want to quickly prove citizenship, a passport is what you need.

This is also a fair response, however I'd argue that the current architecture, far from supporting hundreds or thousands, won't even support dozens in a small area with meaningful traffic being exchanged (e.g., not just heartbeats and routing data). The solutions exist and no revolutionary approach is needed. That's the crux of the complaints.

Now, for the hobbyist these solutions are harder to implement and that's not nothing, but I don't even see a movement to switch over to something more robust.

As I understand it, the section on "what not to do" features many things that Meshtastic does, though it does not say that explicitly. Perhaps the linked post wasn't clear to non hams (it is a newsletter targeted at hams), but the biggest issue is not flood routing, but using the same channel for networking and user access. It, by definition, cannot scale meaningfully. Many commercial networks solve this with either FDMA or TDMA.

Elsewhere in the newsletter, the author advocates for a form of FDMA, where users operate on different, dynamically allocated frequencies and all of them are received at once. P25 trunked radios used by almost all law enforcement in the US operate on a system like this.

I think the vitriol from those who are in the space either professionally or as an amateur comes from the fact Meshtastic is repeating mistakes we knew about in the 80s at the latest, for which reams if literature freely exists.

Embedding a test like that is something I've never considered - very cool.

These days I tend to use systemd timers on Linux though. Despite my love/hate relationship with systemd, timers and service files are really nice.

Oh please. "The law" is a Kafkaesque patchwork that delegates authority to local officials and has enough complexity and wiggle room to make anything possible. We're not talking about a speed limit sign here. Show me the [company], I'll show you the crime.

I've been assured by people in this thread and others that, for example, if you "don't spy on users", you don't need cookie banners, and yet official EU sites have them.

It's the EU way. The only area where they produce world-leading innovation is regulatory regimes, so gotta use it to hit up American tech companies like an ATM.

This jumped out at me as well - very interesting that it actually reduces necessary compute in this instance

There's state-level law saying it's illegal to own or read some books on this list? Or just that it's illegal for school libraries to stock it and/or include it in curricula?

Many of the ills currently befalling the US can be traced to the New Deal era. Including, of course, an HN favorite: our system of employer-sponsored health insurance.

I use Go every day at work and it's still the first thing I reach for when completing personal projects. It gets better every year. Keep up the good work Go team!

In the US, some have failed, some have worked. In my home state of Maryland, the PPP (P3) for redeveloping the Travel Plazas along I-95 is often cited as a success story and they are indeed widely considered top notch rest stops. It's a small-ish thing, but it did work.

I don't know enough to say if Seagirt is considered a success but I do know Baltimore's port does very well. The Purple Line is/was a failure.

Hi there - love Dillo. I use it on NetBSD and it works great. Once you're off GitHub will there be a way to get notified of releases? I use GitHub's RSS feeds for that now.

In the end, only NetBSD will be standing in the breach after anything not x64 or ARMv8+ is declared "retro computing".

Seriously. Stapelberg is a talented guy that's done well for himself, why can't he have nice things if he wants them?

A hot take I support is that switching to popular election of Senators was a mistake. We should go back to the state legislature method.

Ricochet was super cool. Way ahead of its time. There's even a Joel blog post about it:

All the public benchmarks (and my own applications) indicate that there is only a small (often unnoticeable) performance penalty associated with modernc.org/sqlite and this is far outweighed by the ability to eliminate CGO. I'd use it on future projects without hesitation.

We've finally achieved AGI* !

Where is this quote from? The person you're replying to didn't say that at all.

They merely highlighted the fact that Perham attempted to punish RubyCentral for their "platforming" of DHH by pulling funding, but instead managed to consolidate power in the hands of those loyal to DHH. Had a bit of a Game of Thrones appeal which is I think why it has had such staying power on HN over the last week.

Florida on its own would absolutely be a first world country with a GDP comparable to Spain or South Korea. Pick a less prosperous state haha it has multiple cities with a greater population than the entire island of Greenland

The Arctic will be the battleground and trade route of the future as it warms. Being associated with the US is preferable to the other options (Russia, China most likely). There won't be an option of the status quo.
