You can skip the NAT traversal in all protocols, so especially VoIP, video conferences and games will be less expensive, more reliable and simpler. And incoming connections will be possible, meaning all that smarthome stuff could get simpler, more reliable and more protective of users' privacy.

Of course contacting a webserver will mostly be the same. Maybe some loadbalancers will be less confused, but I doubt an enduser will notice.

Cancel culture strikes again.
You got that backwards, when you make a claim which in your opinion is representative of a given fraction of a population the onus is on you to prove that it actually does represent these people, not on those who cast doubt on your agency for the group.

Also, most of my reply was a direct quote from Martin Luther King's famous speech. The rest of the reply is a statement of fact on the cultist nature of the concept of 'white guilt'. Please explain to me in what way this sounds like a white supremacist diatribe, as far as I understand white supremacists are not wont to cast aspersion on their 'white brethren'.

Stop throwing these labels around, they can not replace rational arguments and are just a form of academic laziness.
I see; that's because I'm this case we'd be fusing the discriminator with the payload.

With destructuring pattern match constructs you'd be binding variables to "inner" members of the sum type.

I do understand that. I'm not so sure it's so important, compared to
Just being able to say that a box can contain either A or B or C.

Interfaces are great when you don't care what does a box contain as long as it quacks like a duck.

Sometimes though you need to carry around one out of N types of something and currently all you can do is to use an interface{} and deal with the possibility of a runtime error if somebody breaks the invariant.

From the boss's article:

> They may become inhibited and stilted, self-consciously muting the more overt expressions of their comraderie because they feel that frank vulgarity is inappropriate in the presence of females, even if that vulgarity is a male social lubricant and if women profess not to object.

They may openly rebuff her presence because they are unable to relate to her on masculine emotional terms.

They may treat her with patronizing tolerance, as the unit's mascot.

They may being to compete with each other for her attention, breaking up group loyalties and shared destiny for individual sexual or romantic gratification.

Although his conclusion may have been wrong, it sounds like he was ahead of his time in predicting some consequences of sexisim that many feminists point out exist today.

To balance out your opinion of how right he was, he also said this:

>In contrast, women do not naturally band together ritual comradeship.

Clearly, he didn't provide any sources or reason to believe that. His article was armchair speculation. Repeating cultural beliefs without support, as if they were scientific facts, served as the mainstay of "polite" racism and sexism for decades, and although polite society has moved on from those cultural beliefs, it's a lesson to all of us that the practice of writing these unscientific articles never went out of fashion.
I was a long time user of this for both work and personal. It’s a really fantastic and underrated project.

I’ve since followed the momentum and moved to wireguard, but I’m a little sad Tinc hasn’t gained the mindshare it deserves.

The simplicity of config and mesh networking are far more pleasant and practical to work with than Wireguard, at the expense of a few ms in latency.

That is straight up infantile. Plenty of people have horrible ancestral histories. If you choose to obsess over it at every moment, that's not really anybody else's issue. As another comment said earlier, it is very similar to no longer using the word 'cotton', because it might remind you of black slavery in America.

It's a childish waste of time that has nothing to do with solving real world problems. Changing terms used in technology contexts doesn't do anything for racial injustice in any capacity whatsoever.

I think we do need to reconsider the weight we give to writing as an a priori factor and it’s supposed suitability and effectiveness at storing ancestral knowledge and history and conserving its quality.

I will try to find the source(s) later if there’s interest, but remember reading articles on Aboriginal Storytelling that used to be only considered folklore until it was proven that the stories, passed on orally, contained and preserved a variety of knowledge of the land, weather and historical events of Australia dating back to when the very first Aborigines set foot unto the continent, reaching back further than virtually all known written records. Contrast this to much younger texts that even today we still haven’t managed to decode or the burning of libraries of the likes of Alexandria and Baghdad that at once wiped out huge chunks of the most valuable knowledge mankind was able to accumulate.
It could be related to the volunteer/non-profit mesh network ISP nycmesh.net, another ISP NAT'ing connections.

Literally the article you're commenting on. :)
> is "NEVER say "I'm sorry!""

Unless it's followed by "that you're an idiot" ;)

Joking aside, I think in American culture it's often more important to say "I did $x badly" than "I'm sorry about $x". I feel like many American's (especially in white collar work) assume a certain cut throat mentality and don't believe that you are actually sorry, but they do agree you fucked up. Generally when talking to people you want them to be mentally agreeing with you and not thinking that you're lying to them.

And the car crash thing is just litigation, it doesn't apply to 99% of screwups.
> To use a computer analogy, it's like going to extreme measures to refactor all programs so that Covid19Exception kills as few processes as possible, meanwhile processes left and right are dying at elevated rates due to HeartExceptions and BrainExceptions (and in a few months CancerExceptions) and the OOM Killer is on the prowl but nobody is noticing because they are hyperfocused on Covid19Exceptions.

What makes you think uncontrolled covid will have no negative effect on heart, brain and cancer? If hospitals turn into covid centers you can’t safely treat those high risk groups.

Further, there’s lots of possible long run effects in survivors we don’t know enough about yet. So there is an unbounded downside risk to covid infections.

Finally, we don’t know if immunity persists. We hope it does, but it might not, in which case letting it run through the populace will lead to more deaths when people catch it a second time.

Plenty of countries eliminated it by acting early. The US had that option and discarded it, and now is in a worse situation. Maybe the right approach given this worse position is to charge ahead, but you’re ignoring a lot of second order effects yourself.

How could that statement balance my opinion of how right he was? If the only problem with it is that he didn't provide any sources or reasons to believe that, it is worth pointing out that you have neither provided sources or reasons to believe the opposite.
In my experience this is basically a turnkey setup with Tinc though as it handles all the key sharing transparently, and in your example will only use computer b to do the initial handshake and then let computer a talk directly to computer c. This is especially useful when you have large mesh networks across various LANs and WAN.

You get much more fuel out of biomass if you add hydrogen. For example, from carbohydrates, it's basically (CH2O)n + nH2 --> (CH2)n + nH2O (hydrodeoxygenation). This can make drop-in replacements for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
If you set these options yourself rather than depending on your upstream distro defaults, be prepared to experience surprising and unexpected incompatibilities with SSH; by making your own choices, you are accepting additional responsibilities for debugging compatibility issues that will arise. When you encounter issues with anything SSH-related, be sure you've checked your SSH client/server in verbose mode to verify that it is not a PEBCAK issue before seeking technical support from others, and be sure to include your custom values for those options when reporting SSH issues to others so that everyone doesn't waste time trying (uselessly) to repro your issue without them.

This is the point (one of the points) that Vaclav Smil makes about renewables: abysmal energy density of production (in Watts/square meter: more like 'intensity' than 'density' to me).

The only thing that beats oil is nuclear fission. With everything else, production takes up land that could be used for something else, or isn't being used for something else because it has problems such as distance or inhospitable climate or unfriendly (steep or unstable) terrain. All of which drive up maintenance costs or make the land also unusable for energy production.

There are no good solutions apart from the one that coal companies astroturfed us into nearly banning in the 1960s.

this cancel culture thing is getting out of control.

First you cannot judge how people would talk or act in the past based in present values.

Why are people able to consider cultural subjectivity when talking about other cultures, but not our own? We are not the same society that we where 40 years ago. Things changed, opnions to

And event if the guy was sexist, this attitute dosent consider if his opnion changed over the years. People learn new things, get new experiences that change theirs perspectives.

96% of households in the UK can get 30 Mbps.

Now, some people do lots of hand waving at this point. Surely, they argue, if everybody had gigabit networking instead of just 30 Mbps we'd find some exciting new application to justify it? Nope. Some communities do have this and they don't invent new applications it mostly sits idle.

The other fun thing that people say here is "Well but they don't". That's true, they can get 30 Mbps but they choose slightly cheaper offerings that are much lower speed. So why are you desperate to deploy higher bandwidth offerings? If your company finds that take-up of new 30 litre per second water supplies isn't what you hoped for, do you conclude people must need 30 cubic metres per second of water instead and deploy bigger high pressure pipes? Or do you say "Wait a minute, maybe people actually have enough water?"
The same goes for the Japanese.

Empty apologies are empty. They need to know that the issue is "owned," regretted, a solution/amend is offered, and it won't happen again. Not a fun time.

Americans, in my experience, don't care. They just find satisfaction in being a bit "better than" I am, and their reactions are purely emotion-driven. They usually would try to pile extra transgressions (that I was not responsible for) onto my apology. Lots of shaming involved.

It was annoying, but I got used to not reacting. Since most of my bosses were Japanese (not really a fun bunch to work for), I didn't need to face the music with Americans too often.

I will say that the end result was that I was given an awesome level of trust and respect. It was the kind very few foreigners ever have.

I sure as heck wouldn't want anyone judged for views they held 30 years ago. I don't want to be judged for the views I hold today in 30 years either.

That goes for most actions too: Even if you murdered someone 30 years ago, if you served your time and reformed, you ought to be able to have a normal life now.

I'm a different person now than I was in college, and I'll be a different person in another 30 years. I may be a better person or a worse person -- I don't know yet -- but I definitely will not the same person I am today. I can think of few things a person might have done in 1987 which ought to affect their lives now.

"If there was ever a time for bois to _stand in solidarity_ ..."

Emphasis is mine. That phrase is used almost exclusively by far leftists, and comes from Marxism/Leninism (haven never actually read any of it, the vast majority of leftists do not know where the phrase comes from).

It could be that this exact phrasing is used on purpose, actually, as a form of trolling IRL to appeal to the far left types and try to provoke violence against the government (which will eventually blow back pretty hard - patience is wearing thin already, even in ultra-liberal places like Portland or Seattle).

I still can't really imagine, however, that the overwhelmingly pro-police conservatives could advocate shooting cops. This seems like far left, "tear down the system" shit to me. "The world is about to change its foundation. We are nothing, let us be all." The Russian translation, BTW, literally translates as "We will destroy the world of violence to its foundation, and then, we will build our new world, those who were nothing will be all".

Your assumption is that there is a tradeoff to be made.

This is a common assumption, but I believe it's incorrect. As I showed by analyzing the pandemic as a classical feedback system [1], the long-term policy curve isn't just a simple tradeoff (i.e. "optimizing for reducing deaths of that one thing"), but is actually like an inverted parabola [2] with three regions.

But you are correct that our current public policy (by which I mean aggregate US public behavior, not just official policy) is currently targeting one of the worst long-term outcomes, which includes both higher-than-necessary COVID-19 deaths, AND higher-than-necessary collateral economic and other damage.

I believe that with a different strategy we can probably reduce Covid19Exception and simultaneously reduce HeartException and CancerException.
