You just lack the empathy to understand :P

Trying to come at it optimistically I’m going to assume they hopefully mean empathy for Zapier’s users and how they use it haha
You'd think the Vatican would have a bustling tech industry with all those IPv4 addresses
Windows 7 had the best window design. Not only did it look cool, it was very functional. I get a very strong sense of nostalgia whenever I see a screenshot from Windows 7.
"How was it funded? Seems very expensive."

Oil money.
From what I've seen, Oracle Cloud usage is mostly to lift-and-shift legacy Oracle software packages off-prem and things that need low-latency access to them.

It's more Oracle software as SaaS, some basic IaaS (more like a hosting provider than a cloud) and hosted Oracle databases (which are just Oracle running Exadata for you).

So it's big companies struggling to get off old Oracle (and acquisitions like PeopleSoft) stuff and it's gross.

I don't know of anyone using it as "their cloud", but more of another thing to mix in with AWS/Azure/GCP to get rid of on-prem or colo facilities. It's more like IBM Cloud: A way to hang on to customers, sell services (human services like consulting and support), and keep milking those old products for big companies.
A couple years ago, a new 4g network, Jio, launched. They are very focused on IPv6 because the costs to get IPv4 addresses is high.

They also are very low cost, so they attracted lots of customers.
I'm enjoying digging into this. One minor thing, I'm not sure you want to quote Bill Gates as a definitive source of information on electric vehicles. For example, Elon Musk has publicly called Gates an idiot about his comments on electric technologies. Right or wrong I don't think quoting Gates helps your credibility in this case, unless your angle is political support.
I don't think so either. One thing that's interesting here is that this ties into LLVM - perhaps other LLVM languages like Julia or Rust could interop?
One more use case is that you sometime need to do something, not just specify idempotent configuration. For example, you might have a nightly task to run a script on multiple servers that dumps a data file, then copy those files to a central server.

Ansible can easily be used for both "I need to configure a thing" and also for "I need to script activity".
Any device that is connected via a hdmi with ethernet, If both devices supports it.
Yes, the LG Netflix app works as well as anything else I've used (and continues to work after opting out of the various agreements for adware and telemetry, for whatever that's worth). In fact, the LG "magic" motion-sensing remote is quite nice for streaming app UI navigation that's often hit-or-miss on platforms that lack a touch interface or pointing device.

With that said, I only connect my TV (which is also my computer display) to Wi-Fi when I'm actively using one of the built-in streaming apps (so infrequently, most recently when the new Expanse episodes dropped, because Amazon, unlike Netflix, doesn't support 4K streaming on PC or Mac).
This is only true if your particular mix of vertical resolution, aspect ratio, zoom, and content visibly show a cut off element. Invisible scrollbars should not be the default.
Cost.

The video is showing a metal "lego" form of prefab. These are limited to the premium home builders. Habel, Sekisui, Sumitomo etc. These homes are metal centric, and thus more expensive than wood centric homes.

There are plenty of wooden pre-fab homes, but those center upon pre-cut timbers or other factory manufacturering. Only metal can do the rooms-as-lego-pieces style.
I have also been surprised at how terrible the Apple TV is.

The PBS Kids app is super buggy. It randomly decides to start playing the audio from its home screen over whatever show my kid is trying to watch.

And Emby, which works great on Roku and on iOS, looks great on Apple TV but fails at actually playing videos.
I’m a bit confused. They talk about adding all kinds of enterprise features but I’m mainly just seeing SSO in all their examples and copy.

Is there other stuff?

Btw - loved Nylas but actually the sync component. Didn’t bother too much with the consumer client. Wanted to use the sync component for an app where people would email PDFs.
Interesting you talk about sail boats, RV's caravans and a lot of cars suffer the same focus on the initial impression. What they don't realise is that a lot of real users a put off by the bling, as they realise it's just an added cost down the line when it either breaks or needs specialist cleaning.
You pause it, and then you can scroll left and right and then unpause

You can also click while your finger is on one side or the other to skip a few seconds forward or back (this gesture is a little finicky)

The current Apple TV remote definitely has some downsides - I'm not a huge fan of it - but I still love my Apple TV overall compared to all other options

No, it doesn't get down to the bitstream level. This is at the LLVM IR level. If Xilinx ever open sources tools that could create bitstreams for their FPGAs, well, that would be huge news. Not likely to ever happen, though.
For example: I use terraform to create two EC2 nodes on a VPC and an ALB load balancer. Then I use Ansible to connect to those nodes and install Nginx and (re-)deploy my application code. If you're not going the route of full containerization, this is, in my opinion, the lowest common denominator set of provisioning tools and quite robust for nearly any workflow.
It's quite common for developing countries to outpace developed countries in "tech stats", because they often skip the older generation and leapfrog right to the new stuff as soon as it's available.

For many years in the early 2000s Ecuador lead the world in cell phone ownership because in most rural areas they had few landline phones due to the cost of infrastructure, so when cell phones came around everyone immediately jumped on board.
You do have the choice of good old CGNAT, which AFAIK is why IPv6 adoption in China isn’t great despite having 245 IPv4 addresses per 1000 people (granted, a lot better than India), and probably a lot more Internet connected devices than India at least for now.
Didn't know that either!

It breaks the most consistent rule in the English language, so no surprise that it trips people up.
I think what's missing here is that Israel trying to defend itself from Syrian aggression. Israel's occupation of the Golan heights is in response to multiple Syrian invasions and attacks from the position, and Israel has offered to return the Golan heights to Syria in return for peace. Unfortunately, Syria still chooses not to recognize Israel, and as you point out, hosts Iranian forces on Israel's border. It's fair to say Israel has violated international law in an attempt to protect its sovereignty from Syrian aggression.
Just no. I paid the full amount on the TV, and you made a profit on it. So no, you should not be able to show ads and make more money off me, without my consent (which I don't give you). I am NOT going to turn off my wifi or stop updating its OS. I paid the full amount for the TV, I will expect full features to be functional at all times.

That's a great idea. We've definitely been thinking about partnering with the government, especially with the Biden admin.
Let me limit it to the non-Google database offerings.
I would read a Greg Egan story about this, a la Crystal Nights.
That's not what the OP claimed, and in a second comment he/she implies AI life forms are inevitable. This is... debatable, to put it mildly.

You cannot say "this definition of life fails to account for an uncertain future phenomenon not everyone is convinced will count as life, therefore your definition of life is incomplete".

Fictional life is not real life. Authors, especially fiction authors, are not bound by the rules of nature. Sometimes they guess right, sometimes they don't, sometimes they simply provide thought experiments or parables.
My workflow of slicing and printing is totally separated. I do my slicing on my main computer and save the stl to a network drive with organized folders for filament types and dates. Then I can print whenever I want from anywhere through octoprint. That's almost always just on my phone or laptop or main computer, but it's nice being able to access it remotely and I don't need to bother with anything but an rpi in the room with the printer. I think octoprint could be so much better but for how easy it is to setup and configure I'd choose it again today

What "internet" company has a P/E ratio above 100?

Facebook: 25

Netflix: 81
Google: 36

Netflix is close, I guess.
I don't think your country had asked politely for permission to exist yet.
The more optimistic of us really did think we'd all be using IPv6 by 2006.
I don't think this comment deserves downvotes. The arrival of 5G, and with it devices that can make their own external wireless connections, is a significant risk to consumer privacy. How it is used and regulated over the next few years could establish what is considered an acceptable standard for privacy for a long time afterwards, and it's clear which way a lot of device manufacturers are going to be pushing.
And DynDNS was definitely down.
Probably an estimate for non-technical audiences

A single aisle aircraft will do around 2-6 cycles per day.

Of course what makes aircraft fly is money so there are major overhauls needed to keep them flying after a certain number of cycles (a D check)
That's great to hear! Hope you're right.
Yes, I ship several of those commercially. Like I said: obviously, people hash and compare IP addresses routinely in Go.
How much of that 1 million lines of code actually gets executed? Also, everyone runs the X server, so its code gets a lot of testing. This isn't true for window managers -- there's a long tail of them. This is just one data point, but in my experience I've had window managers crash far more often than X servers (since they get less love).

You can collapse the Ribbon, you know. Then it works similar to a standard menu and auto-closes after you click away. Just double-click a Ribbon tab, or click the expand/pin button on the right-hand side.

Our VPN hasn't been fit for purpose for a year.
Were you affected? Wondering if your DNS is setup separately then you wouldn't be affected by whatever mishap that happened to Oracle's own DNS.
This is great! As a non-programmer myself, I greatly enjoyed some of the old Udacity courses, particularly the web development course taught be Steve Huffman. Unfortunately many of these older courses used Google App engine, which as you say was much simpler to use back then. I recently re-took the course and spent days trying to get everything up and running on Google App engine rather than working through the course content. While a learning experience in itself, it was not how I wanted to be spending the few hours I have after work. Thank you for putting this together.
I’m still seeing loading screens on my Streambar and newer Roku equipment. Not a major problem but it’d be nice if they were snappier.
Thanks so much for that feedback. Definitely don't want to lean too heavily on Gates - we just decided to quote him to show that we're not the only ones who think electrification is going to be trickier for long-haul trucking than for cars! We're hearing this from a lot of our early customers as well, and we're definitely planning to share quotes from them as well down the line, once we're able to.
integration with generators at the CO2 consumers site, cut out the shipping costs, that's an interesting thought experiment!
Valuable anecdata. News is defined by conflict, (literally, no conflict = not news) and this shows how headlines that express the most conflict get the most clicks.

The integrity issues come up when even though the facts reported are real, the conflict that frames them is manufactured - and this is why people reject news. They don't reject it because of fake facts, they reject it because of fake conflict. When I want the real news, I go to fringe websites, because they get the real conflict right, and if I need details and facts, I can look those up. The reason they get the real conflict right is because by definition the fringe lives in that conflict, and they are the real anti-establishment that creates a counter balance narrative, whereas a conflict produced by setting mundane events and facts against the backdrop of an ideology designed to manufacture conflict is unreadable tripe.

If I needed to sustain the dissonance of establishment narratives, I would read the NYTimes to keep up the appearances, but since my livelihood and aspirations do not depend on that, I have the freedom not to engage it. If you think you are being played and manipulated, watching these A/B tests should be enlightening.
I should mention that you can't run Oracle RAC on any "real" public cloud, because it doesn't play nice with SDNs and needs shared block storage. People have done it with hacks (like VPN tunnels between hosts), but it's not performant and well, an unmaintainable hack. I've seen things like read-only single instance replicas of on-prem DBs, but uhhh.

A stand-alone Oracle server isn't a reliable solution because patching = outage. So Oracle providing managed Exadata is a win for some (again, usually big) businesses.

Oracle got a lot of companies hooked on proprietary DB features and rewriting can be painful or require spinning up a dev team for something in "maintenance mode". Even Amazon just fully got off Oracle a couple years go IIRC.
Americans award risk-taking and quick turnaround profits. It’s great for bringing a company from zero to hero but there’s a lack of refinement, a culture of mastering the craft and building a legacy.
The time is not always exact. It can changed based on size of load, or soil level, or how long it takes it to balance the load to spin it.
> Now I’m fully aware that it’s not unusual to see ads placed around a TV’s home screen or main menu.

This kind of acceptance is the problem. Push back! Don't buy this shit.
This is very different from a sudoers file though. Apple has full control of how those things are configured, so they could easily migrate the values if they want, for example.

The fact that they doesn't shows either a malice from them, or at least very sloppy engineering/product management.

Because this kinda of attitude is really bad, and if it was a product from any other company (like Google) I am sure that people would say that this is proposital.
Another rare instance where I think you're just straight-up wrong. The contexts are radically different: Trump separated children from their families universally and deliberately, for the explicit purpose of deterring immigration. That's not at all what Biden is doing (or what Obama did).

It's a popular "dunk" on Democrats and "resistance" types, but I'm sure you can see that what it also does is normalize deterrent family separation, as if it was something we have routinely done historically (it was not).

The AP isn't always right (how weird would it be if they were?) but they are in this case.
Thanks.

The floors are plywood and it's built with wood frame construction.

I retract all my prior surprise that this place burned down.
All modern hdmi cables support ethernet so unless the device in the other end of the cable is an older one the TV could still get internet.

The fix is better laws. The exact same TV in Nordic version have an option to turn ads on (it defaults to off).
I don't think my mother or father could figure out Zapier. Yet they can figure out the MS Office suite and Excel to get work done. I think the premise is just wrong, Zapier is just not easy enough for non-programmers still.

This may be where some of the mystery over the product among programmers could lie. It doesn't look like it would actually let non-programmers do what programmers do at all.
Can you clarify what "low level" means to you?
This is fascinating. What are the implications of Indian users with only IPv6 stacks accessing IPv4 only sites? Does it look like potentially thousands of users accessing a site behind a single shared IPv4 address (i.e. CG-NAT)?
They aren't teaching the same things in public schools.

(I doubt they're teaching them in that prep school, either, but I haven't looked into it.)
I hope there’s some way to blast it with localized radio noise to block the 5G for just that purpose.

Really just need to make the dark patterns illegal or costly though.
Well if you could reformat them and load your own OS.

You'd think that most everyone in both countries has a cellphone. In rural areas people may not have computers, but every farmer has a cellphone to order stuff from their cooperative or to check prices at market.

> If it was decent work then people would do it without being kidnapped.

This doesn't really follow from the description in your parent comment, which claims that being impressed is worse than being a free sailor but better than being a free peasant. The logical conclusion from that is not that sailors would be lining up for Navy jobs if the Navy couldn't enslave them.

> Involuntary enslavement, whether permanent or temporary, is a terrible thing.

This point is more interesting. Note that the military is generally still enslaved today; leaving and disobeying are both illegal. The modern US military is not involuntarily enslaved, but it is voluntarily enslaved.

Should other employers also be allowed to employ voluntary slaves?
To play devils advocate, without ads and DRM stuff, how are artists supposed to make money?

Another point is that you can’t expect to get that caliber of TV for that price without ads.

If you don’t want ads, don’t buy the TV. Not that TV anyway. Just like no one is entitled to getting paid for their art, no one is entitled to entertainment.
If you're referring to Microsoft Office, very few of the options are unlabeled. The only icon-only buttons are on the Home tab, and those are all frequently-used options. Most of them are obvious, and the ones that aren't are easily discoverable with ToolTips.

ToolTips also work very consistently. Hover, and a box appears, in most cases containing a full description and keyboard shortcut(s), and sometimes even helpful graphics.

I think you just don't like it because it's different to what you were used to.
Does factory built frame pieces mean like pre assembled walls? I watch a lot of construction youtube and timber is generally pre cut and trusses pre assembled so I can’t see how it would speed up much.
Double brick walled home do not hold up well to earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes, and anything built in the US is probably going to have to be prepared for one of the above.
My TVs "just" worked from the late 1980s until 2020, which is when I downgraded to a smart tv.
Apple do like to hoot on about how they're privacy first and that's why their products cost more.

They just guard the data from third parties to not have competition milking their own ecosystem. It's a great way to have their cake and eat it too.
Major driver of this was the rollout of the jio network. Most of it is ipv6.
I empathize - in fact I feel the pain. Yet in all my many years of using Zapier I've never paid for the service, and I also would never have guessed the scale of their business.
Problem is, the company’s recruiter will not be convinced by this.
You are probably correct, the timeline for India in the same page shows that IPv6 usage (which was previously stagnant) started growing sometime in mid-2016. Which is when Jio started onboarding customers from the general public (they previously had a closed trial stage).
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it was already leaked that Google attached funding strings to GCP growth targets.

"And yet it rarely attracts the kind of close scrutiny of, say, a Fox News. And that’s totally reasonable! Fox News is an absurd clown show and deserves every criticism it gets"

I find it comical that any write-up critical of a left wing organization needs to include something like this to avoid being flagged, down-voted, whatever, on the platform its being posted on.
How did they avoid the cost of ipv4? I would think they still support it since a lot of stuff is v4 only. Are they using CGNAT for v4? I wonder how many people you could put under a single v4 address with CGNAT.

Those v6 numbers look promising though. Maybe one day we will be able to directly route between home networks again without dynamic dns and other ugly hacks.
The only way this perspective makes sense is if you cherry pick Iran's statements and believe the ones that argue they have a peaceful nuclear programs and ignore the ones that say Israel should be wiped out.
I've kind of always felt that synthesizable Verilog/SystemVerilog was good, but the verification side was just too complex and had too much bloat. Testing hardware with Python (like Cocotb) feels more on the right track as a high level UI.

But easily pluggable APIs for foreign SW languages are key as well. Hardware software co-design is only becoming more important.
Those who care about privacy wouldn't be using macOS to begin with.
AWX forces you to use Docker. Not a fan.
Our Sony with built in Android TV is quite nice. It’s a bit of a privacy hit but not too bad. Everything just works, including Android apps like Kodi. It’s hard wired with Ethernet... kinda requires when streaming ultra hi def over the LAN.
Isn’t that roughly a 15000 km ocean and 7000 km range?
Those who use Windows, especially 10, are all-too-familiar with this sort of thing (and worse[1]). The "excuse" is usually something along the lines of "the configuration file has changed format so let's remove it and revert everything to defaults". (Why would it change format? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21174947 ) It's certainly taught me to treat updates as basically nearly equivalent to a new OS install --- you have to spend the time to look through everything and fix settings that were reverted, or disable whatever new horrible thing was introduced. The ultimate goal, of course, is to gradually bludgeon the "rebellious" users into docile sheeple to control and extract more profit from...
