What an ignorant comment

Very cool - worthy of the best ham radio go-boxes, which have a real following ‘cause you never know when all hell will break loose!

This looks really good

Love the color-blind mode on this map. Well done.

That’s what happens when you get involved in a business you really know not much about I.e. market-making and risk-taking.

Very good

Spot on.

This is only the new normal in the echo-chamber of the wanna-be believers of the net. No significant investor (i.e. Institutional money) is going to go along with this.

Rabies is scary. My dog got it. Died within 12 hours of having first visible symptoms (change in behavior).

Totally fine with that.Enough whining. Get with the program.

Actually, there are a lot of SDR radios aimed at Ham radio operators. I just got my license this year and was blown away by the SDR radios targeting HF bands. This review of the Xiegu G90 is worth watching - the reviewer is an engineer and towards the second half of the video provides a great overview of the SDR architecture in these rigs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6dK2_QIn-s

Those are two very different questions.

Is it me, or do some researchers seem to start from a point of stark ignorance and thus a low bar for ‘findings’?

There is a significant likelihood that this metaverse concept will flop. To stake the company’s namesake on it is unwise. It really seems like this is combination of committee think + a knee jerk reaction to its recent public spanking.

I ditched javascript long ago for exactly this reason. Spaghetti dependencies everywhere you look.

I’ve been watching the associated YouTube channel for a while, not realizing there was a structured program behind it. It is a top notch set of video lectures. Very thorough.

Modern rabies shots (post 1970’s) are no longer painful. Had them after our dog died of rabies. It is a horrible death.

One day Apple will sell a stylish iHammer to securely power off the damn thing.

Thank you Sir. My ZX81 is where it all started.

This is great. Thanks for putting together and sharing.

Creepy.

Now that’s a project!

In this day and age, this makes UBC look like a backward institution, and isn’t up to speed on mainstream technology.

Why are commercial publishers even necessary anymore? They are obsolete.

Research results and publications ultimately funded by tax-payers should absolutely be freely and openly accessible.

I often write code outlines on paper, to focus on logic instead of syntax. It is often my starting point. It helps me stay in the logic flow, without any interruption from the IDE every other second. Later, when ready to type the code in, I pay attention to syntax knowing the logic has been worked out. More efficient for me.

Great job, especially the UI, which is clean and simple. I like the Tools section of your thesis - not being up-to-speed on web dev, I understood the which? and why? of your tech stack in under 5 minutes.

Buttonville airport is a small regional airport with few flights in/out on any given day. Anyone can monitor the tower on VHF and get a clue as to what is coming in, and some smaller planes do have ADS-B transponders and show-up on flightradar, or a basic SDR rig. It is flat terrain and any low-flying aircraft is visible well before it passes overhead. Can’t think of any excuse as to how this might have been allowed to happen.

At the end of the day the purpose of software is to serve users, not satisfy developers’ sense of perfection.

If you want to design yet another ‘better’ file format, go to it. But CSV files are fine the way they are, thanks. If I need to preserve metadata, there are many tried and true options available to me.
