The first commercial #radio station in the US, 8MK (now WWJ), began operations OTD in 1920 in Detroit https://cromwell-intl.com/radio/mwdx.html?s=mb #history #DX

A big thanks to M0IRB (Ian Ridings) for being the very first contact in our club’s amateur radio logbook.
We’re looking forward to filling the pages of EI0TOG’s log with many more voices from near and far. Hopefully, we’ll catch you on the air soon!

It's been a GREAT #DX #POTA #parksontheair activation week for me. Yesterday #20m #SSB / #JH1GEX, today 8/8/25 #40m CW #MorseCode / #VK5LA. No Complaints from me about band conditions. That might change in 24 hrs with incoming #SolarStorm #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
@hamchallenge Week 32: Listen to a #DX broadcast station
Handy timing w/ that RadioWorld article about the open source #TEF6686 radios. Ended up with a new hobby and two #shortwave radios this week! 
Still getting adapters for the external antenna etc, but a good handful of international stations! e.g.,:
Rádio Nacional da Amazônia - great, my wife speaks Portuguese!
Radio #NewZealand - I learned they say ‘aloha'!
I don’t know where the cool #devrels hang out these days (I wasn’t permitted to join the slack (and that’s fine by me thanks)), but I have a question for them: in REST API SDKs, have you seen design patterns that use links objects? I’ve mainly seen a function per endpoint that returns pretty much the response body raw - no parsing the links and returning them as a dict of callable functions for example. #dx
How good is 
Zed?
While I am learning and really liking 
Neovim, I would like to have a GUI IDE as well. One that isn't bloated or tied to big tech, where it is murky what their real plans are.
Idea is also to complement with a tool that can do things Neovim still has challenges with, in particular code refactoring that involves files and imports.
I've hear good things about Zed, so curious to hear about your experience.
The ARRL 222 MHz and Up Distance Contest be all like, “ask me about my grid square!”
You know, if I could hear anyone bothering with FM. I’m trying. Someone will probably make two moonbounces on 241 GHz and win all the points.
DX.
Why did it take me so long to think of DX instead of trying to say "you know, UX but for library APIs"
Now I can just say: Hey FontConfig, you have terrible DX!
(I have long pushed on the idea that design is a required skill for programming *code*, not just GUIs or even CLIs, but the code itself should be designed too)
I've added Baseline status to the CSS property documentation tooltips I previously implemented in DevTools.
Also, I've updated the vscode/web-custom-data package version that is used under the hood in DevTools.
So DevTools now displays info for all the new CSS properties that have come out in the last 3 years!
Available now in @Chrome Canary.

Just made @phpunit output test errors in the same format the --filter cli option expects them.
that way you can just copy the text and paste it 1:1 into the cli arg, to re-run a single test-case for a specific dataset.
available in version PHPUnit 12.3+
past few weeks I have concentrated my opensource efforts onto @infection_php focus was on developer experience - make it easer for newcomers to apply the tool and reduce noise by removing redundant mutations.
this got just released. feedback welcome.
It's an interesting point you highlight because I've never thought of things through that paradigm. Now that I see it, I realise I'm hoping to transition to #openBSD because I believe of mainstream operating systems, it probably has the best #DX.
In this particular case, I believe that the developers exploit that in order to optimise for what might be called #security which impresses me.
I realise it's probably an outlier in this regard!
