We've not been using IPv6 long enough yet to tell. For all we know today, how many man-hours might get saved just from not having to deal with NAT? How many engineers won't need to learn that STUN and TURN were things? What new apps might get built if real and easy peer-to-peer is possible? We haven't had time to realize the gains.

On Python 3, I'm okay with having more discussions about some line thats failing at a byte/unicode boundary, instead of the "your entire design ignored the unicode/byte distinction, but mostly worked until now, and you've unwittingly built a mountain of technical debt." The language, going forward, encourages the correct behavior. Now if only my co-workers would stop working on that mountain long enough to switch to it…
Ubuntu unity, conspicuously absent from your list, was my gateway into mac OSX. All the adjustments made me think I may as well use the original UI canonical were emulating.

Unity's cheatsheet (hold down the super key) gave me the invaluable key combo needed to switch between windows in the same app, which resolved my biggest annoyance working with XCode.
The high effort to acquire relatively little information also leads to a higher certainty about there being not much more you'd have to know.

Android has a protocol called Android Beam where NFC is used to negotiate transfer which is then moved to either Bluetooth or WiFi Direct. That's probably what cameras are using.

Between phones you tap them together while a picture / video is open (which is admittedly less elegant than AirDrop... although significantly more reliable in my experience).

Everybody had _heard_ of this, maybe. Everybody in the tech community at least. Or let's just say enough people that some people feel like everybody did.

However when I heard of this, everybody also knew this was just a conspiracy theory. The NSA records everything -- Hello, NSA person who inevitably reads this -- sure, but c'mon they wouldn't actually store any of it or even pay attention as long as you didn't use trigger words. And even then you knew they wouldn't actually listen to your conversation because why would they care about some rando on the internet.

So, no, everyone didn't know the NSA was doing what Snowden said they were doing. It just sounded familiar enough that it seemed like it wasn't news. I think the conspiracy theories (or leaks?) may have actually softened the blow of the revelations. "Oh, I guess the conspiracy theories were right. Huh, who'd have thought. Anyway, how's your sex life?". People carried on as if nothing happened.

I swear if we somehow found out that there really were aliens in Area 51 all along, techies would derail every conversation about it by pointing out how everyone already knew this. And the common man probably wouldn't even freak out because it doesn't sound like news.

I have an iPhone 6S, QC35 and a MBP 13 mid-2012. The Mac won't stay paired after booting and sleeping once. Only fixed by rebooting (kext reloading, process killing, bluetooth debug menu don't work). Also, it's annoying that it won't charge and stay powered-on simultaneously. Finally, there's ground loop noise originating from the iPhone if charging the iPhone & QC35 from the same source with using the audio cable together.

ProTip: Apparently, the QC25 remote cable with buttons works on the QC35 too.

Up until that slightly exposed bit where you suddenly get buffeted by some wind and spend 30 seconds panting slightly whilst re-organising your thoughts.

It's basically impossible to rule out that an image (or anything rasterized) is watermarked.

The best way of ensuring this isn't to test it, but to simply ask the producer whether they would do this. If they say "no" or refuse to answer then don't buy that product. Not even if you had a printer from a manufacturer that had public firmware and driver code could you be sure by just inspecting the code and the printed output.

If they clearly say they don't watermark output then you probably have to trust them or simply not use printers.

The issue is not even with self-driving, this concerns any "connected" car. Remember the chrome box? (a device from the ancient era of phreaking, allowing to control traffic lights - some of them had an external input only protected by obfuscation, intended for prioritizing emergency vehicles) Is it so hard to imagine an external controller for all the other networked cars out there? (Remember, there are many ways a modern car is networked, some of them wireless - the FM radio is plugged into a CAN, and has digital data band; how does that sound?) Full control not necessary - just annoy the driver sufficiently to make them get out of the road (e.g. full throttle AC plus force hazard lights on).

Yes, I'm amazed that the CDs I ripped to FLAC 14 years ago still don't need conversion to a new format to play in all the software I use. I don't think I expected that when I ripped them.

It's important to understand that it's not only compression that gives FLAC an edge over AIFF/WAVE. Vorbis comments are an excellent way to save metadata in audio files.
I work in a company that does a lot of web scraping, mostly from companies who's ToS says no scraping.

Instead of violating the ToS we have business contracts with each company, that give us the permission to scrape. We use this as a way to take control of integrations, and put the ball in our court, as most of these companies have little to no technical expertise or resource. By doing this we can create an integration as quickly as we want, instead of waiting months or even never managing to get one if it were to be done through an API.

Scraping can be a powerful tool in this respect, make sure you have permission, but ToS saying no scraping doesn't necessarily mean you can't get special permission.
Not sure what the author's point is. That all spies are incompetent? KGB infiltrated UK's intelligence establishment successfully, got the plans for the nuclear bomb and the space shuttle etc. etc. So clearly at least one organization is not completely without merit. Maybe he means specifically UK's spies? If so his anecdotes are not very convincing.

We're talking about nazi experiments. I'd assume that the "for Germans" part is implied.

"Caucasians" also seems the wrong abstraction here in either case. If you put a Swede or Brit and a Spaniard or Italian in the same room, they'll likely have different opinions the optimal temperature too, yet all of these are pointlessly grouped as "Caucasian" just because some people like to pretend it sounds less racist than simply saying "white" (which is an equally useless category for most concerns).

Well, those 1% could in theory have 99.99% of all income. So the justification that "because it's only 1%" (of people) is wrong.

In fact, neither the median nor the average supports my point, but the share of the income total of those 1% relative to the sum of all incomes.
Huh, this made me curious about saunas and how they're survivable if they're that hot, since I've never been in one myself. Apparently the air inside saunas is very dry (making sweating very effective), even though they're traditionally pictured as being steamy? Would I be right in saying there's very little air movement in one, as well? I'm guessing there's a lot of boundary layer type effects going on.

Edit: The Wikipedia entry's description makes no sense. The hottest saunas have low humidity levels produced by pouring water on hot stones? And the people in the sauna are below the dew point and so have condensation forming on them rather than evaporating? How then do they shed the heat?

Pedantry mode: All of this surveillance is exactly what the Stasi _dreamed_ of doing.

(I fully agree with your point; however, I'd argue that the (relative, back then) lack of digital storage and communication made gathering of information much, much harder back then than it is now - even for the Stasi.)
> IP addresses aren't just numbers assigned to machines. They must also — effectively — encode the route to that machine; you can sort of imagine it as a tree, with each bit giving you successively more local directions on the Internet. Now, of course, that's not exactly how it works, but the point is that some parts of that tree are going to be sparsely populated. Having a wider address space means you can make bigger, but not necessarily full, allocations in the address space, allowing you to keep whole networks together in a common prefixes, which results in simpler routing tables. (At least, that's the idea as I understand it.)

Exactly, and the huge address space allows the standard to right out set some structure to it, with 48 bits for global routing, 16 bits for subnet addressing, plus 64 bits for link-local, interface identifier. Routing is only concerned about the first 64 bits (which has all the fast operations you could dream of) and global routing only the first 48 even. Obviously doing some work to match the topology to the address space in a smart way by leveraging CIDR to reduce the size of routing tables is always going to be useful.

You're right, I didn't get that this is was intended as esoteric. Actually the parser for the language, if it works right from the Ascii art and not an intermediate representation, must be awesome.

Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years, so you don't have to update every 6 months.
> Everything has to be defined. 64 bit would have been so easy. And it would still have been enough

I agree. It sucks, 64 bits almost certainly would have worked and languages/libraries/OSes tend to not do their fair share at taking care of IPv6-related stuff. That, along with all the prettyprinting/parsing business with the colons is legitimately annoying.

However, IPv6 was designed not just to fix IPv4's sins, but to ensure that there'd never be an address exhaustion issue with IPv6, no matter how many decades it would be in use. That's why there's 128 bits of overkill; the IPv6 designers knew that the IPv4->IPv6 transition would be awful (they even underestimated just how awful it'd be), that IPv6 would keep running for a long time once it got deployed -- and wanted to do their best to avoid subjecting the world to a transition from IPv6.
Youre confusing concepts. You can skip an incubator like YC while still intending to not bootstrap. There is also no such thing as a 'YC-style' startup, YC was set up to target startups, so can't have invented them.

YC used to only give a tiny amount of equity that any vaguely successful person could match ($16k?). It filled the gap between starting and series A.

Bootstrapping means avoiding getting a series A.

Basically, YC didn't invent startups, it invented a new, more accessible route to starting one.

There seems to be far more opportunity in crypto related stuff than anything CAD right now. It's a matter of opinion whether any particular crypto currency is a bubble but in the long term, blockchain technology isn't going to just go away and that surely must disrupt markets for years to come.

So, even though I know a lot more about CAD, I've actually just started working on my own AGPL3 crypto toolkit in a private GitHub repository in the hope that I can build a consultancy business around it and maybe do the dual-licensing thing.

Im a 'competent' programmer who has done few whiteboard interviews in my time and I have failed in most of them. Here is why ?

I consider myself a competent programmer since I have developed decent work@work and my peers recognise it too. But how would any interviewer can know about this ? My resume is like any other resume in tech world. They cannot. So I've to be put through WBI. For many years I couldn't have known what was wrong with me. Every time I failed I felt miserable to be honest. Eventually, I have narrowed down the reason. It is not just at interview I fail to problem solve - even when I try doing at home with a white board and 'explanation' I fail. English is not my region language but one would not doubt on my conversation abilities as I manage it ok. It is that I simply fail to explain solving programming puzzles in english since while programming I 'do' think in my regional language and most of the time in 'silent' mode in my head. Now 'silent' mode is again dreaded in interviews - as interviewers they want to know 'how you approach solving a problem'.

I think a better solution to WBI would be to make interviewee do programming questions on a laptop (alone) where interview is held - say make it an hour worth of exercise. Have that program run through some time bound tests (like google code jam etc) and may be do a code walk through later with interviewer. This way interviewer is sure interviewee can code.

Also, one of things that will definitely help would be to have some sort of evidence that you can code (git, code competitions etc). This gives some sort of confidence to interviewer.

TL;DR:

* Multicast and mobility are shits

* NDP an overcomplicated shit

* The SLAAC / DCHPv6 thing is a ripe mess

* getting IPv6 provider-independent space is too hard

* extension headers are tricky, slow to parse, a source of tricky security issues, and thus are almost completely unused on the Internet in general

Basically almost all the moving parts in ipv6 (beyond the wire format and its 128-bit addresses) that aren't dangerously convoluted / mostly unused are pretty much just NIH'd reimplementations of the corresponding IPv4 protocols (like ARP, say).

Depends on the ISA and optimization level - and the OS. Win32's x86-only __stdcall convention always passes arguments on the stack instead of in registers.
I think it's more dependent on the type of organization and sector.

So if you are in a fast moving sector, you need agile self-aware people. They will think critically about the problems, uncover their basic assumptions, try to challenge them, and so on. It helps if you have open-ended, think outside the box, oh wait, we don't even have a box ... problems.

But it doesn't help if you want to cook your books and your accountant start to ask inconvenient questions.

I'd say product designers/managers are an interesting case, because coming up with a new product (or just new/different/fresh/interesting features for an existing product - for a new version) requires a lot of thinking, yet it requires a certain focus after the spec has been finalized, otherwise the product guy/gal will find itself in constant anxiety worrying about how the basic assumptions are shifting, how things need to be tweaked, and so on.

And of course, the aforementioned is just a very narrow aspect of thinking, and a lot of non-strictly-cognitive psychology.

But as our current state of society shows, critical thinking doesn't really have a super-duper-extra high and obvious utility reward. Otherwise it'd be more prevalent. Aaaand of course you'll get into a loop, trying to questions yourselves, your thoughts, trying to eliminate your biases, correct for others', estimate, forecast, predict, post-process. (And some people do it http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/12/31/2016-predictions-calibr... , some don't.)
