What did we read right here on HN recently about IP blocks changing hands for about $40 per address? IPv6 addresses are approximately 100% cheaper than that.

But it doesn't stop there, you also no longer need subnet planning -- where under IPv4 it's very important whether this new subnet is 60 machines or 64 machines, in IPv6 you don't care and so nobody needs to manage that. Which translates to lower costs in your network team. Negligible when your "network team" is just the CTO doing a Google search, but significant at scale.

Your route costs fall too. Because of exhaustion (and because years ago nobody had any idea what they were doing, not having had an Internet before) IPv4 is now badly fragmented, which means a trivial route ("All the East Coast stuff") may become six or sixteen or sixty separate address blocks, but IPv6 blocks were deliberately assigned so as to reduce fragmentation, chances are "All the East Coast stuff" is one or two blocks.

As to speed, Facebook reports IPv6 is about 10% faster for them.

They did exactly what I described, they're v6-only internally and have translation at the edge for "legacy" IPv4 clients.
Never knew that, but it doesn't surprise me. Christ, what a waste of 20 years and countless lives, but at least the rich got richer...
Perhaps the US’ intentions were never good and they were never capable of “liberating” anyone there. It really seems like no matter when they pulled out this would have happened.
Came to reflect on this. Bombardier went as far as making the CRJ1000 which is a moderate capacity regional jet, which approaches that of a smaller 737.

> TikTok embraces collaborative world building and positivity in a way I've never seen before. It's a total breath of fresh air. It feels good, wholesome, and truly creative.

This used to be what Twitter and Instagram and YouTube were described as in the past. There's still plenty of gaming views and influencer stuff being done on TikTok, it just hasn't become ubiquitous yet. Or maybe the format means we as a population need to re-adjust to see it. I'm mentioning this because I've seen toxic stuff on TikTok already about niche hobby interests. Stuff like getting people cancelled, internet drama, people posting videos of themselves crying over it, etc.

Instagram isn't so bad... if you follow accounts that only post cute animal pictures.
What exactly is so controversial or disagreeable about the parent's comment as to warrant so many downvotes?
Wow what a way to pass blame for the current screw up on past administrations.
IPv4 and CGNAT costs scale with usage. The more traffic you offload to IPv6, the less CGNAT capacity you need and the less IPv4 space you need; you need enough IPv4 addresses so you can give out unique IP:Ports for all concurrent connections to popular destination IP:Ports.
Why not just combust hydrogen to power an ICE? The Soviet Union had an experimental airliner that did this so it is definitely feasible technologically. Seems much simpler than using fuel cells, which will get expensive if they need to be mass produced because they require expensive catalysts.
Geologically, that area has ALWAYS been desert, with the only exception being the past 150 years. Not surprised.
This comment is a bit rosy on TikTok, and your stereotypes are off a bit. I use all these platforms, and all things you attribute primarily to a single platform above have bled into the other platforms, where format allows. Just look to Instagram stories for a lot of examples of people posting inspirational quotes, or to YouTube for plenty of fake news channels, or to Facebook to see lowest common denominator posting. The locus of each of those things may rest with your stereotyped examples, but reality is much more nuanced.

One can find all of these things on TikTok. Right now it’s just new so it feels more optimistic and you want to see it more optimistically.
It is more that nobody cares if it is Saigon.
I mean in the context of an existing company / team of nontrivial size. Most cases I know of, the uncommon language was there from the days of it being a personal or 1-person project. For other types of tech (e.g. infrastructure) sometimes the new/different capabilities are such a defining feature that the lack of familiarity is not as scary. But in programming languages, you can fundamentally do pretty much anything in existing and well known ones.
In Nim you declare func and proc IIRC.
When you have 7x the number of humans the planet can support with natural resourse there is not "sustainable manner" in which to operation when consuming natural resources.
Again, I am not a network engineer and so I am a little of my depth. But I will respond in the hopes someone will educate me if I am wrong.

While UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII, it did of course require programmers to add support for it just like you are suggesting any successor to IPV4 would. But once that support was added, ASCII could be treated as part of UTF-8 standard.

From what I understand, this is not the case with IPV6 and IPV4. The former requires its own software stack and the IPV6 standard was written (from what I have read) without any attempt to make it possible for IPV4 and IPV6 addresses to coexist in the same software stack easily.
Airtel does dual stack model. I've been using it for about 2 years now.
Get the iPhone 12 mini -- you won't regret it. It's a safe assumption that most HN members spend a lot of time on their computers, so their phone should embody what a mobile device truly is: a very small, mobile computing device. Why have a big one if you're operating a big computing device most of the day, anyway?

My mini is so transparent to me, I often have to check if it's still in my pocket, and I absolutely love that. It has the same computing and photography capabilities as the larger iPhone, so you don't miss out on any of those benefits either.

I've been waiting for this size device for years, and it's sad to hear they apparently don't sell well. It's the best iPhone I've ever owned.
I can back this completely. I'm working on a search engine for government transparency records with an NGO and Typesense really solved most of our problems with MeiliSearch, and our experiments with Sonic have been pretty good too.
Not really, this was pretty assured to happen. The previous presidents just kicked the can down the road.
This is why Phoenix is ditching webpack! The story on the Elixir side is more compelling. I'm glad the team made this decision.

The 12 mini is my favorite iPhone since the 5. I’d definitely recommend it if you think you might like it.
No US president wants this media attention but frankly Biden is the president who should take the least flak for taliban controlled afghanistan. 3 presidents before him failed to either remove US troops or find an achievable goal in Afghanistan
I think people make the Rust compiler out to be much more scary than it is. Sure, it's much more strict than say Python, but compared to strongly typed languages like C++ or C# it's not that different in 99% of your code. People just talk about that other 1% a lot.
Getting rid of NAT doesn't mean that you have to let every machine connect to every other machine. It just means that if you choose to let machines connect, they can do so without their packets needing to be rewritten.

Yup, React is all functional these days, and pretty widespread. My team, for example, is "discovering" the benefits of functional approaches, and it's nice that it's a gentle slope.
Different platforms for different things. I never use TikTok, because the video media I consume is almost always long form informative content. YouTube is the only media giant with a large supply of this, and it continues to accrete such creators and content faster than anywhere else.
So even worse than Saigon then because after 20 years of support there wasn't even any significant Afghani interest in having any other government than the Taliban.
This was inevitable really as soon as the retreat happened. As soon as you set a hard deadline for something (in this case withdrawal) you are basically giving up on doing it well.

RS-485 over USB connectors... AAAAHHHH! (Presumably to reuse common connectors and cheaply available cables over more custom things, but still a bit surprising for something as simple as RS-485 - seeing this more nowadays with devices using HDMI and USB3 cables, because they are cheaply available cables with somewhat defined performance for highspeed signals)
It's too late to discuss alternatives to IPv6, so I haven't spend time collecting what I think wrong with it (and below just random thoughts).

The main reason I don't like it - it is much more complex than IPv4 and this complexity provides from little to now real benefits (but a lot of advertised by IPv6 evangelists). The only reason networks migrate to IPv6 is the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, not other features which was envisioned as improvements over IPv4, but on practice turned out to be not very useful.

128bit per address from which usable only 64bit looks like a waste of resources (CPU/RAM) to me. Idea was to embed MAC-address in lower 64bit, but it turned out to be a bad idea because of privacy implications and for most end-user devices lower 64bit are now random. Given that /64 prefix in most cases used by single host a 64bit address would be sufficient. If we had 64bit addresses we would save RAM for routers and OS kernels and simplify implementation (64bit integers are available in practically all modern programming languages and 64bit operations are fast, while 128bit is a slower extension which is not universally available).

For me IPv6 is an example of the second-system effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect
As an interested applicant, I noticed these negative Glassdoor reviews that paint a very different picture:

‘Don’t work here, you will die. Startup environment, so fast paced. Great if you want to die young and get the experience, but run if this isn’t your first death wish’.
I have been trying to get emacs set up how I like it based on my prior experience with spacemacs, using the highest level config settings, with the goal of having the most powerful IDE and document generator I can get while writing as little elisp as possible (by using `M-x customize` and `M-x list-packages` only thus far).

I was very excited when, for the first time ever, late last night, I created a Haskell code block, did C-c, C-c, and got a hello world to show up!

I have never been able to get ob-haskell to work before, and I have been fighting it off and on for years, using the same tactics.
They have another prototype engine with more advanced features and performance too.

Storm drains do need some flow to keep them clear.

Grey water systems seem most viable at the water district level, e.g. water treatment plant recycles clean water from drains back into the fresh supply. This is what some cities in Nevada are doing.

A grey water system in your house would be a duplicate set of plumbing, and you’d have a hard time keeping it clean & unclogged in the long run. The scale is small so the cost efficiency would be poor compared to district level.

Time to take a break from the internet.
I didn't downvote it, but the comment exemplifies the problem in both how right and wrong it is. Genshin Impact has the potential to be a great game, but it's utterly ruined by the gacha garbage that infests it. It's extremely disappointing, and makes you depressed at wondering what an excellent game it could be if it didn't have such a predatory and self-defeating business model.
Yes. I'm saying if we had to update every device anyway, we might as well do it right and not some short term solution (48-bit addressing or whatever.)
I've fixed the narrow conversion error with newer compilers and added build instructions to the README.

Not sure what's up with libgomp.spec, it should be part of the gcc base package, at least on debian/ubuntu.
There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, cities like this around the developing world. I'd wager the majority of the world's population lives in almost-there-but-if-only cities. Certainly all of India, and a fair chunk of China.
This is sad. I'm assuming a new world crisis will be fabricated and we will find a way to spend trillions of dollars somewhere else instead of on US people or infrastructure. The stockholders of military contractors should not be worried.

I almost took my own head off nodding vigorously at this.

The "double dipping procurement officer" - the procurement officer arranging a purchase from a supplier that he's already got a job offer from - is so endemic in this sector that these people brag to each other about it over the buffet line at industry conferences. The first time I heard this spiel I thought someone was wearing a wire, but then I realized, slowly, that they didn't care who was listening because literally everyone - from the pentagon down through junior lieutenants and up to the supplier CEOs- was in on this. The corporate "Company-All" email chain is constantly littered with CEO announcements bragging about the latest retired procurement officer they've managed to scam with corner offices and tight little executive assistants.

And of course those same officers are the ones who sign waivers allowing substandard everything. MIL-STD avionics can be duct taped in the rack with a waiver from the program office, but the same equipment on a civilian PAX-carrying aircraft need actual testing by qualified people and equipment, no exceptions. And God forbid you get a EUROCAE auditor with the usual FAA mix - hold onto your nuts/ovaries. But the civilian stuff is aboveboard, for the most part, unless you're Boeing.

But the MIL-STD stuff . . oh god

The defense procurement business is horrifyingly corrupt, maybe even worse than the bureau system of the late USSR, and this is with dollar amounts that dwarf anything you've ever seen anywhere else. Every day I pray to the Defense Gods that a "SpaceX But For Defense" will show up and just blow everyone else out of the water. It might mean the end of my career, but it's what needs to happen.
Maybe India should also stop accepting “recycling” waste from western countries. Then the west can lead the way even better.

Hi, rvz! (Product team member of MeiliSearch here). This comparative table is not accurate and contains wrong pieces of information about MeiliSearch.

However, today TypeSense indeed has more features than MeiliSearch. After a long time of refactoring the engine's source code, we now have a solid base to welcome new features/improvements, and we hope to evolve quickly to solve many more search use-cases.

For Q3, we plan to add two new features: sort by and geo-search. The geo-search will come out as a first iteration allowing to sort documents around a geographical point and filter documents within a circle. We will also further improve the indexing speed (again yes, because we can do better) and provide two new formats for data indexing (csv and ndjson).

For Q4, we plan to add high availability and solve the multi-tenancy use-case.

That is just a preview of the upcoming features we are already working on.

The end of the year will be rich in evolution for MeiliSearch. We are looking forward to seeing you enjoy using MeiliSearch one day!
Exactly. Cadillac Desert is a great account of the water politics of California and it also highlights that the agreements and contracts were set during an unusually wet period.

The bills go up anyway, in order to maintain the permanently growing army of bureaucrats. The only realistic way to solve it is to bring back competition. If you have multiple competing small operators, and one of them offers better infrastructure at a reasonable extra cost, people will switch. If you let them all get merged and managed centrally, of course all you get is a carefully written apology letter blaming climate change.
> What's the environmenal impact of a hydrogen fuel cell versus a rechargeable battery with a comparable range?

Battery-electric vehicles are about 2-3 times more energy efficient than hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, according to VW [0]

> Doesn't making a battery require mining a ton of metals?

Less, actually - a bit under half a tonne of metal in a Tesla battery pack, most of it nickle (as of 5 years ago) [1]

> How efficient is the recycling of spent batteries?

Roughly 92% [2] and improving. A car purchased today would have its battery recycled in ~10 years, so it'll be higher by then.

I’ve seen this posted a lot and I read it as an excuse to throw our hands up and do nothing individually. However culture matters and as we shift our behaviors as individuals, pressure builds on corporate behavior as well. Both through local politics and internal politics within the company. We do need drastic regulatory changes, but we also need as a society to put our weight into it.
180k annualized salary for the top few students from MIT, Waterloo, Stanford etc is a steal. They might lack sophistication in navigating bureaucratic processes but I guarantee you they are far more technically competent than even your average senior engineer at a FAANG company.
