I think that's up to device vendors giving parents decent controls and parents monitoring their kids devices. Which is admittedly not great, but still better than the honor system and more reasonable than submitting your license.

The idea isn't to let sites restrict adults, just let them restrict kids. So there wouldn't be a child internet.

The Internet Archive would be the usual place.

On a superficial level it's a lot nicer than Ada for people who didn't learn to program on Pascal. Rust's real flaws don't show up until you need to do large refractors and change your application's memory model.

By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don't plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?

If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?

We consider people's private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.

I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.

How do you litigate 'intention' in this way?

Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at 'simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years' remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what's feasible to build.

It would become Twitter.

I'm so hype for typed dictionaries

I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don't need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.

It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?

When I search for stuff I don't seem to get anything.

 

I figured some teleco geniuses out here, so I figured I might give it a shot.

The house I grew up in is looking to get rid of it's landline, and thus it's phone number. This phone number is one of the small number I actually have memorized-making it super useful, because I am unlikely to memorize any additional numbers in my lifetime, and certainly no numbers will ever have the same nostalgic ring to them.

They're a different phone carrier, and a different state. The current owner would be happy to hand the number over. Is this type of transfer in the realm of possibility?

 

Would the perfect title for the blog post I hope exists somewhere. I, like a few other posters, just grabbed one of these things. I also took the step of reading through a good chunk of Ham Radio For Dummies just to get a handle on the basics.

  • What can I (legally) do with this thing without a license?

  • Any pointers for learning the basics on this particular machine?

  • I should read the manual cover to cover, right?

  • Looks like it's easier to program from a computer, any tips on that?
