US signals that it has expanded policy to allow Ukraine to counterstrike into Russia
  • me and most of the developing world have mixed feelings about the war in ukraine. at the very least it's white people's problems. at the limit we're pissed by the west trying to rally us behind a country that stopped black people from leaving when the invasion came and that is receiving many times the amount of help that many of us have received during catastrophes, against a country that, wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

    that being said, this is war and russia cannot complain that it didn't knew what was coming. deal with it (spoiler: they will).

  • Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”
  • they remained on dell, but have willingly forgone the oportunity of progressing in their career within the company in order to remain at home. some are even looking for other jobs in organizations that don't whip them back into offices.

  • Is the Java ecossystem of languages and related stuff a thing, professionally?
  • My biggest concern over .NET is exactly how closed Microsoft-land can be. For what I've seen so far, with the notable exception of perhaps Unity, pretty much everything else gravitates around MS and there's no way of leaving it.

  • greetings. right now i'm not active in any organization, though still affiliated with psol in brazil. i consider myself a thompson-mandel trotskyite, though with not so hidden sympathies towards titoism and rojavan anarchism.

    Is the Java ecossystem of languages and related stuff a thing, professionally?

    I'm in the course of pursuing a change in my career towards software engineering/architecture. So far I've been brought mostly to C#/.NET and Java, though Java attracts me more, even considering that it might be a "dying" language. Still, Scala and Clojure are there, so I thought that they might give a pump at least to JVMs. In your opinion, should I invest in pursuing certifications/jobs in this field, or sticking to C#/.NET is a better path?

    Your opinions on Bend
  • tbh i have no problem with curly brackets either. even though my first language was freebasic (!), i have worked more with curly bracket languages and actually find them quite useful, if not powerful.

  • Your opinions on Bend
  • how do you compile code with gnu parallel? i mean, i'm really ignorant on parallel and at first glance it seemed that there's no way of compiling separate chunks of code with it.

    New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What's your opinions on it so far?

    Questions from a newbie ham

    Right, so this is the situation: I still haven't obtained my license here in Brazil, but I already have a Baofeng DR-1801 HT that can connect to dmr networks. Therefore I haven't transmitted yet. But I'd like to clarify some doubts:

    • When I get my license, even in C-class in Brazil, I will be allowed access to some frequencies in 40-10m bands. Should I get a low power QRP transceiver (e.g. uSDX) or go for an used rig from known brands?
    • It's almost impossible to find a transceiver project with a power rating greater than 10w. What would be the difficulty of, say, copylefting the schematics of an ft-7b?
    • Can I really use a wire thrown over my house (of course, with baluns and stuff) as a monopole antenna or that's just myth?
