In the field of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics it is an important distinction as there are other very important waves. Rossby waves are not gravity waves and extremely important to the global climate (see their role in ENSO dynamics). Compressive waves (acoustic waves) are everywhere of course. There are also topographic Rossby waves, internal waves and Kelvin waves (note: kelvin waves and internal waves are gravity waves as well). Oh, and inertial waves!
Hubble just spotted a "bullseye" galaxy where a smaller galaxy passed through the center and caused ripples in the gas bobbing with gravity, like dropping a stone in a pond:
In addition to what others have said, Often from a network perspective you want smaller range.
At the end of the day, there is a total speed limit of Mb/s/Hz.
For example, in cities, with a high population density, you could theoretically have a single cell tower providing data for everyone.
However, the speed would be slow, as for a given bandwidth six the data is shared between everyone in the city.
Alternatively, one could have 100 towers, and then the data would only have to be shared by those within range. But for this to work, one of the design constraints is that a smaller range is beneficial, so that multiple towers do not interfere with each other.
I used to pick new languages when I started projects with AI for learning but lately I've been using ruby for everything possible and I generally prefer it's output as it writes stuff more idiomatically than I do (out of laziness)
That's an issue with any plugin system, right? AFAIK no IDE has a plugin system with capabilities or a sandboxed interpreter.
VSCode does have a thing where it's like do you trust the authors of this project. Not sure what it does because I've never had to use it. From StackOverflow[1]:
>If you select No, I don't trust the authors, Visual Studio Code will open the workspace in 'restricted mode'. This is the default for all new workspaces. It lets you safely browse through code but disables some editor feature, including debugging, tasks, and many extensions. However, keep in mind that 'restricted mode' is all you need for many use cases.
Actually if restricted mode[2] is any good, vscode might be better at security than most other editors/IDEs.

Unfortunately, it’s not. Restricted mode is VSCode without any plugins. That means that unless you’re doing very basic TS development (I think that’s the only language VSCode supports out of the box), then you’re kinda hosed.
Yeah, I'm all in for a more secure option as long as it allows me to do everything that VSCode's SSH agent does. But if the devex goes down the drain because of "security" then I'm good for now.
I personally thought that student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional.
That being said, alot of the actions of the current admin are designed to push the boarders of executive power. They are trying to move fast and break things and do an end run around congressional oversight, before the courts can catch up.
The example of this is USaid, which was probably not legal in the method they went about. But no one will be putting that egg back together.
Contrast this to when Biden did his student loan forgiveness, it was telegraphed for months, and a court immediately blocked it pending review. And most importantly it was a single action.
All that being said, both are bad, my overall point is that we as Americans deserve better, and 'but they did it first' is not a valid excuse.
My hope is that we finally start reducing the power of the executive branch. The past 100 years of congress abdicating it's responsibility has been too much.
I might have missed it in their writeup.
