Antidisestablishmentarianism

opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England

Also bonus Welsh town name:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Literally translated, the long form of the name means: “[The] church of [St.] Mary (Llanfair) [of the] pool (pwll) of the white hazels (gwyn gyll) near to [lit. “over against”] (go ger) the fierce whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the church of [St.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) of the red cave (gogo[f] goch)”

I don’t know why people are still playing with the corpse

Ticketmaster only exists to reduce the income of musicians.

The musicians would exist without Ticketmaster

The venues would exist without Ticketmaster

The crowd would exist without Ticketmaster

They only extract value

oh no

I was about to remark how this data backs up the events we’ve been watching unfold in America recently

About 35-40h generally, I’m a software engineer.

I enjoy my job, but ultimately the point of me doing my work is to be able to do whatever I want with my free time. Life is for living after all

You’ve definitely found them and you’ve already picked a few of my favourite tracks—I’m happy to have introduced you

Was just thinking this

A single LiDAR sensor prevents this kind of issue

Everything Everything

They’ve written some of my favourite albums over the past decade or so

A tariff is a tax

Absolutely zero if I’m trying to sleep or only just waking up

Managed amounts if I’m watching a TV or using a computer

Any other time, let the light in, my plants need to eat

Also, whilst we’re on the subject, cement lube is not safe for cement toys

I really should go and get checked, eh?

I think it’s a punk bar themed around the late Motorhead frontman, but I only walked past it a couple of times

There’s a Lemmy bar in Reykjavik

I wonder how many people are in the middle of that particular Venn diagram

Big thanks for providing this extra context, that made it a lot clearer for me

They did those starter sku users dirty

But yeah this was Microsoft’s strategy for a while (and may still be): they attempted to push small business users to their server products for running servers by limiting the ram and core counts on the non-server skus.

I’ve not really touched radio stuff in a long while now but here’s my attempt.

Single sideband (SSB) is a radio transmission technique for sending audio (often voice, but many data modes use SSB too) whilst being pretty efficient with the use of radio spectrum. Think like FM and AM modes on a consumer radio, except those approaches take up a bit more bandwidth compared to SSB, so you can’t pack as many stations into a radio band without interference.

And this is where I might be completely off the mark, but this novel approach is interesting compared to the more conventional approaches due to the reduction in the complexity of the components needed to do this and a reduction of waste power. As the other approaches involved essentially generating a double sideband signal (I can’t remember what the technical term is, but part of me thinks this might be standard AM) and filtering out the (typically) lower mirror band.

Not really in a situation where I can watch a video without potentially annoying someone right now, but

A municipal mesh network isn’t a bad idea, but I worry about what security measures are in place, effectively securing a wireless network with hundreds of independent stations feels like it wouldn’t be trivial.

And surely this will need a WAN gateway to the internet somewhere, so it’ll only be as reliable as the route to that uplink.

This might have all been addressed in the video though, I’ll see if I can find an article about it.

The linked article is a jargon festival, but that’s to be expected given the topic. I still found it pretty interesting despite not fully understanding it
