Let's imagine a small business with two IPv6-capable ISPs & a router. They want to make effective use of their two links for load balancing & failover.

There's not a chance that BGP is going to get set up or that their own IP allocation is going to happen.

How do you propose they implement multi-homing for their entire network? How do you propose they balance their link utilization?

Flying/weightlessness has been my all-time-favorite lucid dream.

I have been a lucid dreamer since a long time. It definitely is an amazing thing. I have never really got tempted to wear VR headsets or such devices. I can achieve this state just before I have fallen asleep completely. I get a stronger control over dreams usually in the morning when I have mentally woke up but have not opened my eyes yet.

1. I can fly, hover, experience 0 G. Helps me save the money which I might have spent in doing it in real life.

2. I can solve problems. Programming problems or other real world problems.

3. I meet people whom I may not get a chance to meet with in real life.

4. I can "continue" a dream after waking up and going back to bed.

The best thing about this ability is that you have complete control on your dream. You are aware that you are dreaming. You can direct the dream to go whereever and however you want.

> Portugal's economy has been booming since 2015

Actually, that is not true at all.

Portugal's recession might have ended back in 2014 but since then economic growth has been anemic and below the eurozone average, and this in spite of the recent influx of cash due to the natinal golden visa program and a sudden tourism boom. Unemployment is still extremely high in spite of the national statistics presenting an unbelievable low rate close to structural unemployment levels, while real unemployment estinates point to a level above 20% for the whole active population and accompanied with an over 50% youth unemployment rate. This is obviously reflected on the nation's wages, which have stagnated for the past 8 years at pre-bailout levels.

Oh, and about 1% of the population has been
emigrating from Portugal on average per year since the economic collapse in 2011.

The only way Portugal is booming is if you count implosion as a boom of sorts.
Get government out of business?? I think it should be the other way round. Get business out of government.

Government has a place in prescribing how business is conducted. Without local government zoning for businesses your cities would be pretty shitty places to live. Light or heavy touch is the contentious point.

The bigger problem is that businesses by and large control America. Sort that problem out, complaining about government pushing business around is laughable.
I wonder if this is somehow a very USA-specific issue, and I wonder why that would be. I recently moved to the countryside in Finland, to a place that isn't even a town, just a road with houses and farms. There are a couple of rather crummy grocery stores within a few minutes driving distance, but mostly people shop at the stores in the nearest city, maybe half an hour away.

Where I live is kind of an extreme. There are a lot of places that do qualify as towns, and urbanization is definitely taking its toll on them. Local stores close down, and people have to shop further away. Still, this idea of a store that doesn't sell fresh produce seems completely alien - I haven't seen that pop up anywhere. Why does that work in the USA?

I think the US has the upper hand to a ridiculous degree with any other negotiating partner. It simply has a lot more chips than anybody else.

I don't really buy the idea that the US was getting 'bad deals', as Trump puts it. To be honest, I think the only way the US could get bad deals is if it undercuts its own state department, and does everything it can to project an image of instability, insanity, and dementia.

The thing is, in the normal run of things, there are no incentives for anybody who isn't totally desperate to try and screw the US over. Unless the state department is utterly braindead, they just have way more resources to screw you back. Except, in the situation where you think that jeopardizing relations with the US is acceptable, because it's a fading power, or because it forgets its friends and enemies with the election cycle. Which are all things Trump is really good at convincing people of.

I think what happened is that feature landed concurrently with the paper - a very early version is mentioned as reference [7].

Netflix also published several papers on their version for openbsd, which I didn't see mentioned.
It doesn't help that they didn't ship it with Unix, which is what workstations ran back then. Porting System V to it and selling it with it may have helped.

Then again, both Atari and Amiga tried that with their 030 machines and had no success. They were not taken seriously as workstation vendors (in the then lucrative workstation market) in many cases because of the brand on the box. I distinctly remember a UnixWorld article about the Atari TT030 with the headline "Up from toyland" (above an otherwise positive review)

The feature you linked only handles the symmetric crypto.

TLS and other protocols in this space do very little public key crypto, during a "handshake" phase when they also check everybody is agreed about how the protocol will work and set other parameters, they pick symmetric keys (often two each, it could just one each, and it might be more) and then most of the actual content is handled with just symmetric encryption.

The handshake phase is complicated, whereas the symmetric crypto is very simple. There's also a bunch more policy decisions in the handshake phase, and the Linux kernel tries not to do policy. For example, when your browser connects to a site and there's a problem it often has an "override" feature you can use to connect anyway, if the policy deciding whether to allow connections was in the kernel... too bad?

However this "SSA" does almost everything on the kernel side, at least from the point of view of the application.

It also, and I can't tell how serious they were about this, says it offers the just published TLS 1.3 including 0RTT.

In a way TLS 1.3 is simpler than previous versions, so that makes sense, but it does also add some brand new twists, and more cautious implementations (e.g. in Chrome) don't do 0RTT while they wait to decide how to approach it since it has exciting security properties.

This paper takes those exciting properties a bit more casually than I'm comfortable with. What's _supposed_ to happen here is that protocols on top of TLS (e.g. HTTPS) figure out whether 0RTT is something they'll handle and if so how best to do so. What's definitely NOT safe is to just go "Eh, who cares?" and do 0RTT but treat it the same as the non-0RTT case silently.
I hate to say it, but the writing is strange; Hacker Noon should have someone proofread it.
This thread has too much argument for the sake of arguing. People are trying to debate whether or not a nature vs. development dichotomy exists in the abstract. Of course it doesn't, but why don't we talk about the particulars of this situation instead of turning the comment section into a high school debate class? The article clearly states that it will be very difficult to balance conservation of primate habitats with expansion of palm oil harvesting. Given that information, and the fact that the continent is desparately in need of economic development, I think the environmental losses are justifiable if they lead to better livelihoods for Africans.
"War with the Newts" is simply amazing.

I read this book as part of a University course in "Russian & Eastern European Sci-Fi literature", and reading this book was just about the only time I wasn't slightly bitter about having signed up for the course. Like the NYT article states, it paints a vivid picture of how our very human, not-quite-good-but-just-OK intentions frequently lead to utter catastrophe, despite their seeming relatively innocuous at the onset.

It's a damn fun read, too.
> For all that, while Alfers feels sympathy for Nech, he said the Dollar General is the future. “The Model-T put horses out of business. It’s hard to protect existing businesses,” he said. “I would still vote for Dollar General. If one state didn’t accept the Model-T it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. I think Buhler voted their sentiment. The question is, in five years will they have a Dollar General or something similar?”

How sad. One of these is a technology change. The other is local policy. We make choices about the communities we want to live in. This one was under his control, and his justification for a choice I think he regrets sounds like cognitive dissonance to me.
Do dollar stores has aggressive pricing? I've found they are a bad deal for many common day goods. Usually the $/qty is pretty bad. One example that sticks to my mind is aluminum foil. Those rolls are pretty small for the price.

The main thing I find them good for is things like cleaning supplies, brooms, greeting cards, gift wraps which tend to be marked up elsewhere.

Sleep paralysis is mortifying if you don't know what you're dealing with. I can completely understand how that's been the source of many people believing in possessions over the centuries.

Most of my paralysis episodes didn't involve the "evil presence" people often talk about. That is, until a recent one less than a year ago, where I woke up with a giant "invisible" spider on my chest

It's terrifying to be in this state of mind where you know what's happening, but you also really, really feel that presence. I wonder if this is similar to what schizophrenic patients feel.

> Toss on top of that that a screen was only 80 characters wide

There are still developers that insist on code only ever being 80 characters wide, even in today's world of 24+ inch, 1920x1080+ monitors.

I understand wanting code to be narrow enough to be able to have diffs side-by-side, but you can get 120-character wide lines and still achieve that.

I've seen others argue that if a line is too long, it's harder to understand what it's doing, and I would agree with that with one caveat: In this context, "line length" should be understood as the number of operations being done, not necessarily absolute number of characters. A line that is 110 characters long but has meaningful variable and function names is going to be easier to grok than a line with only 60 characters but has terse names.

>Quite the opposite, in sports a win is a win and the rest matters only as a tiebreaker, you'll start the next game from 0:0 anyway

If you're in a baseball game starting a series and your starting pitcher went 8 innings while the opponent went 4 (below average) you will have the upper hand in the rest of the series. The opponent will work his bullpen more and potentially his players having to rely on their offense heavily as the bullpen exhausts. Getting starting pitch counts high to exhaust or to exhaust a bullpen is a known strategy in baseball and it carries over multiple games. It's not a simple "you'll start the next game from 0:0 anyway".

You can deal an incredible amount of damage to an opposing team by winning a game by one run (especially extra innings) and have the upper hand the rest of the series. You'll actually see managers put in position players to not kill their bullpen if they are losing a game by a significant amount (9+ runs). The original comment actually has the opposite damage effect in baseball.

The "a win is a win" comment is in the context of WAR which is what we're talking about. As the season ends and approaches 162 games WAR is a good (but not perfect) metric on measuring a player's worth and amortizing situations like the one above across a season.

The three most powerful words for building credibility are "I don't know"

I had a supervisor once who always had an answer to your question. He was always 100% sure he was right. He was not always right. Consequently, going to him for help would sometimes result in the problem becoming worse.

The best supervisor I ever had was the one who routinely told me "I don't know, let me call {PersonInOtherDepartment}" or "See if the answer is in {RelevantManual} under {PossibleSection}. If you don't find it, give me a call."

We treat "I don't know" as an admission of failure far too often. It should be seen as an entry point to improvement.

An accurate observation.

Though I agree with your principle (ie this is not a complete analysis), in the authors defense it is accurately titled "African palm oil expansion is bad news for the continent’s primates."

Had it been titled "An analysis of the impacts of African palm oil expansion", your argument would have been poignant.
"What differentiates FASTER are its cache-optimized index that achieves very high performance — up to 160 million operations per second when data fits in memory;"

I really dislike when papers make performance claims like this in the introduction. That "160 million" number is so meaningless at face value because everything from the runtime environment to the hardware is going to play a huge role in ops. I rather see how it compares against other key-value stores across a number of configurations and use cases.
Dollar General is closer to a Target than it is a grocery store. 80% of the floor is not food, and the remaining 20% is boxed/canned/bottled. Its a decent middle point for low income households who only have time to make 1 stop and need a few grocery items and a few non-grocery items.
Last time I tried ClojureScript, I found the interop with web APIs and vanilla js libraries to be horribly lacking, and development was abysmally slow as a result.

I loved Clojure when I used it, but ClojureScript was a nightmare.

The only saving grace was shadow-cljs, which made it bearable to work with. I eventually dropped it in favor of Elm mostly for the static typing, but also for the tooling, which is leaps and bounds better.

> I think the environmental losses are justifiable if they lead to better livelihoods for Africans

I have been to Borneo, I have seen the future and it is bleak. The guy running the Palm Oil Plantation has a car, AC in his house and a big screen tv. The ground is poisoned forever (after less than 20 years of growing palm oil) and ultimately the topsoil of Borneo will wash away into the leaving a lifeless desolate bump sticking out of the ocean.

Nothing abstract about that.

I guess the experience is agreeable to you? I have lucid dreams sometimes, and something about it is very unsettling to me. I sometimes have non-lucid nightmares where I can feel myself losing my mind, with uncontrollable visual hallucinations and a sense of falling apart mentally. I also have nightmares where I wake up from a dream, only to realize I'm still dreaming, over and over again. Somehow the lucid dreams I have feel similar to this, there's a strong sense of being at risk of going mad. Maybe it's that I haven't trained for it, but I don't particularly feel like I want to learn to have more of those.
So what? You're just repeating the word "waste".

You have yet to advance an argument that a space heater produces more heat than an air conditioner does! In general, that is the case, but that's an artifact of the temperature range that people find comfortable (combined with the temperature range of climates where people live). It has absolutely nothing to do with whether their machines are in a state of metaphysical grace.

Imagine that people enjoy a temperature between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and some people live in a wintery area where the outside environment is -20 degrees, while others live in a sweltering area where the outside environment is 105 degrees. The Arizonan chilling his house down to 70 is maintaining a temperature differential of 35 degrees between the house and the outdoors. The Michigander heating his house to 60 is maintaining a differential of 80 degrees. That much larger differential means much more work needs to be done to maintain it, and the Michigander will consume more energy and produce more heat in the process of keeping his house comfortable.

If the climates were the same and the human temperature target were 10 to 20 degrees, then the Arizonan would be trying to chill his house by 85 degrees, while the Michigander would be heating his by a modest 30. The Arizonan's air conditioner would still be producing "useful work" in the form of moved heat, and "waste heat" in the form of emitted heat, and the amount of emitted heat would be large because a very large amount of work is being done. The Michigander's heater would still be producing "useful work" in the form of emitted heat (or as you call it, "waste heat"), and the amount of emitted heat would be low, compared to the air conditioner, because the Michigander is willing to stay much closer to the environmental temperature than the Arizonan is.

Yet again, labeling the heat "waste" has no implications for how much of it there is.
And we need SoCs with 64 bit wide data DDR buses. Most of the existing non-server SoCs are only 32 bit DDR interfaces, so you can't use off the shelf DIMMs which limits so many of these existing cheap ARM "maker" board to having soldered down RAM and less than amazing memory performance.

If you can explicitly refute those, then your position would be stronger.
I'd add something about breaking common conventions like moving the verb to the end of the function name. For example, I'd change GetPageFromServer() to PageFromServerGet()

Also, use synonyms for common function verbs. Like Grab instead of Get. GrabPageFromServer()

In a code base I dealt with, a developer did exactly those. Most "get" functions had "get" at the end of the function name. Some functions had it at the beginning, but replaced with "grab".

Also, he misspelled a class name and just went with it.
