Sure, you can go to all that hassle.

Or, you can use RFC4193 (AKA ULA) space, which allocates a /48 and is designed to be non-routable, unless an admin chooses to make it routable.

RFC4193 specifies a prefix generation method and lays out the probability of collision. If you join two networks together, you've a (1.81x10^-10)% chance of prefix collision. If you join ten-thousand networks together, you have a 0.0045% chance of collision. [0] If my math is right [1], this means that you'd need to join 2,500,000 networks [2] together to have a 1% chance of a prefix collision.

I am squarely in the "If there's a chance that it can happen, it will happen." camp. However, I'm rather okay with those odds.

[0] Either my figures are right here, or you need to take those percentages and divide them by 1000 to arrive at the correct figure.

[1] And it may not be right!

[2] Networks -each with its own /48- as opposed to hosts.

For commodity systems that run off cheap lithium primary cell with essentially any modern low power microcontroller the major limiting factor for battery lifetime is actually the self-discharge rate of the battery itself (and to somewhat lesser extent the fact that most lithium battery chemistries have discharge curves that depend on peak load).

I understood that was the point of LGPL over GPL; it stops the GPL licence bleeding into other areas if you are simply using a library as is.

Well this probably has to do with Groupon deals being "bad" for many restaurants/local businesses and not wanting to be burnt by them. I used to take the restaurant ones, and ensure I bought drinks etc and tip appropriately for the full value of the meal.

Speaking to some of the proprietors/staff, people would come in, eat the offer and drink water, then leave without tipping and never be seen again.

The US tapped out its highest-profit traditional oil wells a long time ago, and used the export profits to grow its economy. Now the US is awash in fracked gas.

The "sit on it" strategy assumes that the resource held in reserve will not become obsolete. It makes more sense to me to pull it all out of the ground as fast as you can, so you can sell more of it when the global price is highest, rather than being forced to buy at that time.

Didn't China learn anything from its rare earths play? The supply curve never really hits a brick wall. As long as the price keeps going up, the market keeps producing more to sell. And even if you hit a hard limit, such as by exhausting all the cheap wells and mines, human ingenuity often produces an acceptable substitute.

Many countries are burning the petroleum as fast as they can, keeping the computers running for the engineers researching wind, solar, nuclear fission, geothermal, hydrogen, fracking, cellulose enzymes, algae oils, nuclear fusion, radioisotope thermal, external combustion engines, generator-electric hybrids, fuel cells, denser batteries, more efficient motors and transmissions, and a whole host of other technologies that will finally be ready to take over, once the last oil on Earth is being burned by China to keep its lights on and tractors running.

Everyone else will be running their tractors with fuels mixed up from agricultural waste, and keeping the lights on with a dozen different competing technologies.

It seems like a bad strategy to me, but I'm not Chinese.

You've totally ignored the 8051 market, which is most competitive and gets the newest features well before AVR-core processors. Not to mention their dozens of other product lines. I think the Arduino has led people to believing the AVR are more popular in industry than they actually are -- it isn't hobbyists buying tens of millions of microcontrollers per year.

> If someone wants to make the point that they think licensing legalese sucks, and wants to license their work accordingly, then fair enough.

As a protest license, it makes some sense, but I do not think that's what draws most people to it. People choose it because they want their code to be used by anyone, because they think it's the most "open." This is the motivation that the parent commenter gave for the WTFPL. But as a protest license, it's ideologically motivated just like the GPL and does a poor job at letting anyone use their code.

> It's a little absurd that I shouldn't be able to, in plain words, express "This is my own work, and you can do whatever you want with it". Eg. I shouldn't need 'warranty disclaimer' to not be at risk of liability, unless I was explicitly providing some kind of guarantee in the first place. (It's just a bit of freely available software, hardly leaving a dangerous item out on the streets.)

As much as you may wish this to be the case, it's not. It would be a pretty expensive way to make a point if you end up being sued because of the lack of a warranty disclaimer. This is a risk which I think is not adequately conveyed to people who choose the WTFPL.

So sure, it's a personal choice, but if you do choose it you're not doing yourself or anyone else any favors.

Glad to see this one in here. It seems like too many open-source project communities are incredibly hostile to newcomers or people with differing opinions. Linus Torvalds comes to mind.

Indeed. Custom hardware can move us forward, and that's an interesting trend that may actually drive me to buy new machines sooner.

One of my daily driver tasks is CAD. Mechanical CAD. Due to the age and massive human investment in geometry kernels, single thread performance really matters. It is difficult to apply multi core processing to CAD problems.

It would be interesting to understand what special hardware could improve on this.

Mattermost team here. GitLab Mattermost is a binary, and GitLab community wanted the MIT license to align with GitLab's model, so that's the "commercial" license for GitLab.

One note to add is that the standard version of Mattermost is Apache-AGPL similar to MongoDB. So any organization comfortable with MongoDB should be fine with Mattermost.

MongoDB and Mattermost have Apache for drivers, configuration and administration so you can use and deploy the binaries without restriction. If modifications are made to the core product, those are required to be shared with the open source community.

Easy to use well documented crypto library that can be trusted?
I'm trying learn cryptography and programming simultaneously. I have virtually no experience using APIs, so, in an attempt to get a clue I've been trying to get OpenSSL's libcrypto working. I've had some success, but it just seems like the documentation is very sparse and incomplete. Is there anywhere to find comprehensive documentation on their C libraries, or is there another open source well tested crypto library that is better documented?

I've heard from business owners/clients who try "group" discount services, but walk away feeling that it did little to help their customer growth long term

Sales and discounts aren't a good way to increase customer growth unless they're done consistently. There's a reason that I get a free salad when I get a pizza; no one really wants that salad. There's a reason they have $5 beers every Monday at a bar; no one wants to drink on a Monday.

If the business owners/clients are stupid enough to give away the best experiences for cheap, it's their own damn fault for not having any business sense whatsoever.

> Pulitzer disagrees with you.

No they don't.

Wake me when political or economic writers disclose which candidates and politicians they know and voted for, or when film writers disclose the names of all the PR people who they talk to, or any of the other relationships that aren't routinely disclosed because they're not material. "relevant information" does not mean "anything and everything".

I repeat: your standards and expectations for disclosure have nothing to do with any recognized standard for journalistic ethics.

This is just my opinion, but if you want any other contributors besides yourself, I think you definitely want API docs. Just because it's not exposed to the public doesn't mean nobody cares what a function/class does.

If it has a DSL, or any sort of scripting, as a user you damn well want it to have API docs. It's super frustrating to have a use case the author didn't think about, and you have to figure it out via trial and error because the author didn't think it'd be worth spending a few hours documenting what each thing is supposed to do.

Don't think that just because some projects were successful without API documentation, maybe because they served a particular niche, that means you can just ignore documentation because you feel it's not necessary.

> the correct response to such a major loss of cooling on BWR is just to evacuate premises and do nothing

The problem at Fukushima wasn't a short-term loss of coolant; it was the long-term lack of backup cooling after the tsunami hit (by which point the reactor had already been shut down for about 45 minutes), because of poor siting of the backup generators and switchgear. The operators couldn't do anything about that, no matter what they did.
