Aside from the clickbait-y title, I find it quite disturbing to base that whole piece on, what even the author describes as, problems in "codebases inherited from folks who’d internalized this idea to such an unholy extent".

Indeed, small functions can be bad if you completely and utterly overdo it. But wait, that's true of nearly everything else.
Google puts global native IPv6 adoption among their users (i.e. proportion of incoming connections that are IPv6) at 17%-ish and exponentially/logistically increasing; the US numbers are much higher, at around 35% [https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...]. These numbers do not distinguish between mobile and fixed clients; I suspect that mobile deployment is higher than residential.

The server-side IPv6 adoption is not so great; see [http://www.delong.com/ipv6_alexa500.html] for deployment numbers. Luckily, most ISPs providing IPv6 (or at least, my personal one) provide a carrier-grade NAT64 gateway to allow access to IPv4 services from IPv6-only clients.

By web site hits, I have no idea - I don't know where to find those numbers.

IPv6 suffix randomization is enabled by default on Windows, OSX, and iOS. For Android, it probably varies (like everything else) by vendor, but my personal Android phone is using a random suffix. What are the machines you're using that aren't doing this?

Yes, suffix randomization doesn't hide which home connection you're on; but neither did old-school IPv4 + NAT. Sure, IPv6 didn't add that feature, but that's enough of a performance killer that it should be relegated to a separate system like TOR. The IPv6 prefix you are assigned by your carrier is a feature of whatever DHCPv6 setup they have; if they're assigning you the same prefix for every time you power-cycle your modem on IPv6 and they were not doing so with DHCPv4, that's super weird.
That's a bit convoluted, but it isn't so bad, is it? Lots of unused storage, bitcoin showed you can use cryptocurrency to create a network of capabilities (there: hashing stuff, here: of storage), additional uses are possible when getting the mechanism right.
It works this way in Windows 10. I do not approve of it, but it does work and is the simplest way. Just turn your computer off at night and Microsoft will be happy.

One case where I found IPv6 great was on my home network. All my systems have IPv6 addresses and I can ssh into them from a remote network which also supports IPv6. I don't need any NAT. But, I do have an IPv6 firewall of course.
I would disagree with the order of events here. His actions and business practices directly led to 'a world allied against uber', and getting kicked out of cities.

I have similar view to her. Its kinda harder for me to say it because im a man.

There is also a story behind my view. It goes like this:
Im a runner. Not very good, not very fast, just average. Most of the time, im in the middle of my category. All local races are like 80% man and 20% woman. So while im in the middle, my female colleague running same pace is almost always on the podium. It works in her favor. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT SHES BETTER/WORSE OR FAVORED/DISCRIMINATED. It just doesn't mean anything, So why we have that kinda ridiculous talk in IT? Who benefits from dividing communities?
Yeah, my understanding leads me to believe that he used the company's official "Air your grievance here" forum for posting the memo. So, he acted exactly in the manner that the company required him to. Google's case will probably focus on the result of him voicing his opinion, rather than the fact that he did in the first place. Still can't say I agree with them firing him. His memo was considerate enough to have not lead to a kneejerk firing.

Someone here mentioned that women are being pressured to join STEM, and that this is "evil." A bit strong but I agree that this may backfire on us. Who doesn't want a more open environment where everyone can feel comfortable in. But lately, I'm sensing the diversity discussion shifting from "we are the victims" (IMO while true, not very useful) to "we are better than you." That does no service to anyone at all; suddenly we see each other in gender camps and there's a battle line drawn in between. Hey I also don't want to be identified by my gender only thanks.

It's a difficult subject because the issue is actually real. I've experienced it myself, and wish that things are different. I fully support incentives to get more women into tech, but the way we're going about it now is perhaps too much in the face. Let's not forget that diversity means inclusion of all groups, so that the majority and the many minorities are considered for. It may seem messy but IMO the best we can do is to be compassionate to one another, which yes, may mean some (acceptable) give-and-take from everyone.

I've used DDG as my primary search engine for a few years now. Absolutely love it.

It really helps that I can just stick !g at the front of my query if I think Google might have better results (which it usually does not).

For programming tasks, I think my productivity is a lot higher than it would be had I stuck with Google. DDG's "zero-click answers" are awesome, and are frequently just Stack Overflow answers. Google has tried to do this, too, but I've found it to be a lot less useful.

Every interview I've see with Damore after him getting fired confirms that he's a misogynist. I can't imagine any SV tech firm would want to hire him with his toxic background. I suspect he calculated this outcome in the first place, so I'm curious where he thought he would end up. My guess is some kind of "realist"/alt-right media outfit, where he can preach to the choir all he wants, or starting his own business.

"heating: 67°F should be fine in winter. replace by natural gas where possible."

Replacing electric heating with natural gas isn't really valid as a long-term carbon solution. Certainly it's more efficient than using electricity produced from fossil sources, but it won't benefit from future grid improvements/decarbonisation. Heat pumps can deliver efficiency/cost comparable to gas in many countries.

Natural Gas heating is very common in the UK, but we're going to have to get rid of it eventually to meet climate goals.

The very low cost of gas also encourages people to burn more of it and overheat their homes (not uncommon to see flats with the boiler running and the windows simultaneously open for ventilation!). If we were thinking long-term, as you said, we're better off investing in better insulation and ventilation (MVHR).

My first thought when reading this is wouldn't that road be set up as an easement?

Turns out that is addressed in the first part of the article:

> the State Lands Commission has been in negotiations with Khosla... to purchase an easement to allow public access over the private road.

Sounds like a huge mistake by the state to not have that set up as an easement decades ago. Could have avoided the whole mess.

> I can't help but think she'd have an easier time maximizing her potential in the latter field, where she doesn't have to deal with the awkwardness of being the only woman on her team.

I worked for a while with a law firm that was almost 100% women. I was the only male on the team at the time, but I was okay with that. I don't need to be surrounded by my own gender to be comfortable. I think team cohesion & the quality of the work being done is more important than a specific gender balance.

Whenever people mention mandatory gender balance in business, it makes me wonder if people expect that firm to have fired some of the women just to make room for men. I definitely would not want that.

I think by the way, that's absolutely vital to progress, and I am glad someone has convinced VC/Money to fund something potentially breakthrough (whether I think it is or not).
Probably? But Damore's memo is unavoidably about politics, because he specifically complained about Google having a left-wing bias, how Google didn't value ideological diversity, and how he believes Google has a culture of shaming non-left-wing employees into silence.

Thanks. I was aware of that, and still every cloudflared website I've ever checked was IPv4 only, for whatever reason - I assumed it was off by default, it's surprising that it's on by default and still so many turn it off.

I'm even more surprised at Amazon lacking an AAAA record, though. They surely have the data to tell, and IPv6 won't improve their retail business (or they have IPv6 fraud problems that would negate whatever improvement).

Can you share what percentage of customers have IPv6 turned off explicitly?

Can you share what percentage of hits to cloudflared sites can be IPv6 (even if they happen through IPv4)?
At the risk of incurring some pushback (which has happened when I've posted this topic before), some of the situations highlighted when discussing sexism against females ("in tech", usually, based on where I read them), has been something I and others have experienced as well, even though I'm not a female.

The stories of "getting ignored in meetings" and "having your ideas glossed over until someone else ('a man') puts them forward" resonate with me and other men I know as well. There are real power dynamics in some companies/orgs which usually mean that not only do ideas generally only get to come from men, but usually only certain types of men: the men who 'fit in' with management already.

But when pointing this out, I've been accused of ignoring sexism, or trying to downplay sexism, or trying to say it doesn't exist. None of those are true; I know it's a thing, but sometimes some of the symptoms seen may not actually be the result of gender bias (or race bias), but 'culture bias'. Sometimes someone's just being a jerk, not a 'sexist jerk', but if there's a gender difference, somehow 'sexism' is automatically applied to the equation, which may not always be warranted.

The impact of the biases I've experienced is still likely less detrimental than the effects of sexism on women in tech.
> I don’t like the representation of female engineers on TV, always nerdy, unattractive, and without much of a social life.

Seriously? I agree with the lack of social life. But how come most of the tech people on TV (especially SF) are women? And it's not a new trend (Stargate, X-Files etc.). Maybe the author does not think they are attractive because she does not use the same criteria most male use.

> I don’t like those 48 hour coding hackathons without sleep or shower.

I let you on a little secret: most male programmers hate those too.

If you want to make tech attractive to women you have to improve its work/life balance: less hours. So 9/5 jobs which are already available in lot of huge corporations. But yes that's less glamorous or rewarding than the startup scene.

And about the chicken and egg problem? Just start your own company.

Herbsluft wm is less flexible than i3wm but I use it because of it. You can tile frames and frame can have multiple windows, with only few modes. No frames inside frames like in i3wm, I tried using qutebrowser without decorations and tabs. Each web page is separate window.

Only issue I am having is sorting of opened web pages. If you using only few web pages per virtual desktop it can be useful.
With tabs in chrome you can move whole chrome to another tile or desktop. But if you have 20 qutebrowser windows it takes to long.

Will China and India Go to War Over This Tiny 12-Mile Strip of Land?
I'm not really sure I see the point. A relatively small company might have a skewed gender ratio just as a result of random variation. The issue is when a large company like Google, or the industry as a whole, has a skewed gender ratio.

> it makes me wonder if people expect that firm to have fired some of the women just to make room for men. I definitely would not want that.

No-one ever suggests doing that, so why are you bringing it up? It seems an entirely artificial concern.
Obsessive decomposition of the sort Fowler, for example, is cited preferring, very quickly becomes pathological - I suspect that the codebase Fowler describes in that tweet, to the developer as yet unfamiliar with it, reads like one of those old IBM field engineer manuals where a giant circuit diagram is spread across 800 letter-size pages, all bordered with dozens of numbered arrows each referencing the page on which a given trace continues.

But I sort of feel like Sridharan throws the baby out with the bathwater, too. I mean, in the CRUD example, carefully chosen abstractions make the code easier, not harder, to read - if I'm working to comprehend how the application handles UI state changes, I don't want to have that effort complicated by a bunch of user-creation-related database interaction; I'd much rather that be in a method call so I can deal with it it when I care about user creation, and ignore it when I don't. Same for email messaging and event log injection.

And I have to say that my experience gives me to think the idea of preferring duplication over abstraction is just completely, wildly off base. I mean, sure - any given abstraction is likely to change over time as feature requests and bug reports come in. That's just the job. But if the stuff that needs to change is abstracted, it only has to change in one place. If it's not abstracted, then it has to change in N places across the entire application, not all of which are guaranteed to be easy to find - after all, you probably don't have distinctive method or function names. Hope you've got good tests! Except you don't. Or maybe you do - I never have, at any point in my career where I've worked with a codebase in which copy-pasted code was prevalent, because such a codebase is a sign of an engineering culture that's far too weak to support investment in automated testing.

Rewriting and posting a couple of past comments on the topic >

One thing you learn quickly in law school is that you win cases not on the law but on facts, or rather your characterization of the facts. A good lawyer presenting facts in a way that they get through to a carefully selected jury can win almost any case that's based on a legally plausible claim.

Also, Google will most likely offer a huge settlement just to avoid the negative publicity and embarrassing disclosures that come out during the discovery process (which in many cases may show further tortious conduct towards third parties and expose the company to further liability). The case doesn't need to be strong, rather just painful enough for Google to defend. Every suit has some nuisance value.
I really enjoy your writing, in particular you have a way of articulating some complex points very clearly, so I'm somewhat hesitant to respond here since I feel like I'm about to get schooled, but don't groups like Girls Who Code advocate for getting more women into tech? I saw a story today about Sundar Pichai attending a coding event aimed at getting young girls into tech so I would presume Google is supportive of these initiatives.

Now mind you I have absolutely no problem with this, I think getting broader swathes of society into tech is a good thing, but I think it's fairly clear that their are groups advocating for this.
where would you start to look for the focused audience?
Even if he wins the case, Google loses just limited amount of money. It's just a legal case instead of continuing PR + HR nightmare inside Google.
The media giving full attention to this issue, often taking an strong side in either extremes of the debate.
I've noticed how in the last years, the debate about feminism/gender equality (or whatever It should be called) has gotten worse, more binary. And how movements like the alt-right directly has directly benefited from this.
What I find frustrating is that so few people on either side of that one point seem able to separate that from the rest of the memo. There only seem to be two camps here.

(1) The biological-differences part is wrong, therefore everything else based on that is invalid.

(2) The biological-differences part is right, therefore everything else in the memo is also right.

Why do so many people who condemn (1) as unscientific then resort to (2) which is illogical? Conflating one part of Damore's argument with the whole is fallacious, and just as stifling as anything being done on the other side.
The importance of understanding emoji
While nice, it suffers from the same problem storing timeseries in any sql database: you have to predefine your tables. For a fixed and known set of metrics, that's all fine, but if you look at the possible outputs of for example Telegraf, things become a bit more tricky to pre-create all tables/schemas...
They made a mistake by not increasing the search space (or difficulty in Bitcoin terms) in order to make that computer faith-compatible.
Software development is the perfect example of a role where the only thing that matters, at all, is the quality of the output. When I think about supposed discrimination in tech, I think back to every class I ever took that related to computer programming. How not a single one was ever attended by a female classmate.

It seems reasonable to me, therefore, that there should be an imbalance. To match what was a clear disparity in interest at the education level. If anything I see incredible imbalance in the opposite direction.

Anyone could have attended those classes for the cost of tuition. That isn't to say taking a class is all that could make sometime good at programming I'm just using it as a good reference to the fact there might actually be a difference.
Still my point about the reason for the operator to list the url stands. There is no evidence on that page that says its used in such way, and thats' what reason is mentioned for listing it. And i think that's bad. If he had some proof of network traffic etc, showing tracking via this url, you would not see a comment by me. But stating they explicitly mention something, and its not there... Again could still be used for tracking.. but it certainly doesn't say so.

Usability, thats another topic indeed :) usability, should NEVER compromise quality!

And over years of dealing with many of them, i cannot give them any credit for their quality. Certainly not when i realised, found out, there are only a handful of 'original' source lists. And the rest 95% just blindly copies and appends from others, and never bother to revalidate their own list.

Regardless, this seems to become an endless loop, so lets exit() and i wish all a nice weekend!
