The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), which was represented at the Prague meeting, expressed “grave concern” to any proposal that would include 144 – 146 MHz in the proposed Aeronautical Mobile Services agenda item. IARU Region 1 President Don Beattie, G3BJ, said prior to the meeting that the IARU would “energetically” promote its opposition in Regional Telecommunications Organizations (RTOs) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) “to obtain assurances that the spectrum will remain a primary allocation for the amateur services.” According to the meeting minutes, the proposal provides no justification for targeting 144 – 146 MHz, and the IARU believes that sharing with airborne systems likely would be difficult and lead to constraints on the development of the Amateur and Amateur Satellite services there.

When I did, she announced that we were creating a product management function, and that as they thought about what the members of that team should look like, they felt like this member of my team was a perfect model of what a product manager should be at Grubhub. And far more common is the flip side of this scenario: when VPs and C level execs think they know what is good for the people and the team, don’t seek out necessary feedback, and make the wrong call for both the organization and people’s careers who are affected by the re-orgs. The product managers, engineering managers, and designers talked through the changes with the rest of the teams, and organically the teams started planning with the new structure in mind.

True, soon after the US had encouraged allies to find reasons to prosecute Assange, two women made the headlines in Sweden. Because this is not only about protecting Assange, but about preventing a precedent likely to seal the fate of Western democracy.

Before going on with the test I’ve installed rpi-monitor to have nice CPU temperature charts later on:

Let’s run sbc-bench without heatsink with old VLI firmware (version 00013701):

7-zip never completed, as it was killed three times due to running out of memory. This time all three runs for 7-zip could complete for some reasons, and while throttling still did occur, it did to a lesser extent, and the temperature was clearly lower during to single thread benchmarks (~70°C vs 75°C with old firmware). For reference, 7-zip benchmark score with heatsink averaged 5,397 points, without heatsink + old VLI firmware 4,423 points, but the “no heatsink with new VLI firmware” results are much better at 5,298 points.

Some relatively new or popular languages are not object-oriented, although they may have object-like features. I have always struggled with OOP and have never found it a natural way of programming. I find it fascinating that some new languages have chosen to eschew the OOP model.

Functions accepting these fat pointers no longer need to accept a count parameter, and they’d generally accept the fat pointer by value. Since the callee modifies the fat pointer, it should be returned:

Congratulations, you’ve got slices! The function could take a slice of the slice, effectively moving the pointer around with pointer arithmetic, but without violating memory safety due to the additional “fat pointer” information.

For some reason, Windows seems to regularly check to see if I’m using the EN-US keyboard layout, and adds it if I’m not. This ends up adding another entry to my already long list of layouts to cycle through. Windows seems quite fine with me not using the default Japanese layout (I use Google’s, not Microsoft’s) – the Microsoft one reappeared after the Anniversary Update, but hasn’t come back after having been sent away.

I wasn’t good enough, my teammates either didn’t believe it or wouldn’t admit it, and it was only a matter of time until someone figured it out and decided to fire me. I’d go to my mentor(s–I had learned to accept more help from others by this time). What made this conversation so amazing (granted, it was uncomfortable at the time because I was afraid it was a thinly-veiled, “You’re failing” conversation; see above) was that this mentor had seen me struggling, and had decided to try and do something about it.

Hi all,
A few weeks ago there was some
discussion around the privacy
of typical Matrix configurations, particularly how Riot’s default config uses
vector.im as an Identity Server (for discovering users on Matrix by their email
address or phone number) and scalar.vector.im as an Integration Manager (i.e.
the mechanism for adding hosted bots/bridges/widgets into rooms). Firstly, the reason Riot is configured like this is for the user’s convenience:
in general, we believe most users just want to discover other people on Matrix
as easily as possible, and a logically-centralised server for looking up user
matrix IDs by email/phone number (called third party IDs, or 3PIDs) is the only
comprehensive way of doing so. As should also be obvious, these
issues are categorically not malicious: Matrix (and Riot) literally exists to give users full control and autonomy over their communication, and privacy is a key part of that.
