  1. It’s only unlikely because it’s politically inconvenient for it to be unlikely as the nations preventing it don’t want to be judged by the same standards.
  2. Proper integers aren’t bounded. Computer ints are.
  3. They aren’t pure rational either. They are a subset of rational numbers.
  4. They aren’t reals. They aren’t continuous and are bounded.
  5. Hell no. Neither party in a conflict is in a position to do such an investigation. Who do you think?

    ICC would be nice but the geopolitical gorilla in the room knocked them down.

  6. I haven’t accused anyone less than everyone. There are bad actors on all sides (this spans more than “both sides”).

    As for enforcement and prosecution the ICC warrants were justified and the situation that remains is tragic. You can thank the US for throwing a spanner in those works.

    I’m not sure why you keep trying to put words in my mouth. Perhaps to justify your partisan position rather than my entirely neutral one? Sure feels like it.

  7. Did I say I wasn’t concerned?
  8. I’m amazed at how you managed to trivialise the deaths of 1915 people in that comment. All people matter on both sides and everyone deserves justice. That only comes if we make accurate prosecutions which requires evidence and due process.

    And how dare you make accusations along those lines. Your attitude contributes to the problem.

  9. This is a fine example of the irrational discourse that does damage to the whole situation.

    Every case needs to be investigated thoroughly and punished accordingly.

  10. Exactly that.
  11. I suggest you re-read it a few times. I am not defending any party in this conflict. I want the truth to be established carefully for the sake of everyone. Misinformation just ends up with more bodies stacked up on both sides.
  12. I don't disagree with you there at all. That again backs up my point. There is a lot of information and evidence to back those cases up. Which should be the universal standard that we hold everyone accountable to.

    This information didn't just appear out of nowhere. It took time to collate, source and verify.

  13. Lurk on a web SDR and pick up "virtual QSOs" on that.

    HF in small apartment is very difficult.

  14. I haven’t made a point either way. Please don’t quote me on things I haven’t said. That is morally and intellectually dishonest.
  15. No it’s internally used. Think of it like archive.ph but with text extraction and a diff like interface over the text.
  16. I don't like getting involved in political threads but on this I have to.

    All information presented is mostly unverified testimony printed verbatim by the press from untrustworthy sources on both sides. It's difficult to tell what is fact and what is not. A lot of early reports in this war turned out to be false information and the rush to immediate news notification rather than quality journalism means that the headline changes context very quickly from the first cut to what people read and remember. (I wrote an extensive suite of software to track this)

    Wait and see. Do not judge too early. Take nothing as verbatim from anyone without evidence.

    Don't be unknowing partisans of an information war. Veracity takes time.

  17. No. This is the one day I never operate. It’s a shit show. Seems to be an excuse for people in the countries with crappy regulation enforcement to fire up their kw+ transmitters and monster HF antennas and blast them past us trying to hit the US.

    As always most of the fun is closer to the noise.

  18. Read Careless People. It was never about that.
  19. That will be because BAE Systems Tempest is crawling along with little investment.
  20. The phone here basically does IMAP (which is sync I suppose) and gets plugged into the computer and stuff copied around as required manually, which turns out to be rarely as it's not the primary device!
  21. I haven't decided yet :)

    More seriously, I am mostly working like this now. I've had at least some data loss or reliability from every single sync solution I've tried so am practicing avoidance where possible.

    I really want something to work but I can't find anything that does and I've tried all major ecosystems and syncthing etc.

  22. I solved this problem again recently as well. After evaluating various synchronisation methods I thought it would be a good idea to design a new methodology which doesn't reinvent the wheel. Completely out of the box thinking. It took a few days to come up with a solution which worked on paper and a couple of weeks to implement it. I call this onecomputer. What you do is uninstall all sync software from your devices and put everything other than the primary one in the cupboard. Job done. No problems with conflict resolution. No race conditions. No resource and locking issues. Fast, reliable and does not depend on any third party provider or network. It just works. No wheel reinventing - this is uninvention.
  23. The outlined risk is not solely a Microsoft risk. It’s a “contract out to another irreplaceable service” risk.

    Make your technology fungible and risks disappear.

  24. There hasn’t been a good start menu since windows XP.
  25. Windows 11 LTSC looks and works almost exactly the same as windows 10 did. I can’t complain and I’m an expert at complaining.
  26. Oh no another HEIC!
  27. Oh yeah totally agree with that one. I hate Molex connectors but the new one is just stupid.
  28. Just bought a 16Gb 5060 Ti for twice that. I don’t feel disappointed.
  29. I don’t give a crap any more.

    What I have learned is that in the last 30 years of being told that I should switch to Linux on the desktop is that I should stop listening to these people’s ideological perspective and just get on with creating and doing shit. Because that’s far more important. I’ll take Excel and Adobe over any of the alternatives.

    I am not even sure I’m happy with it on the server these days. FreeBSD is far less nasty.
