Cloudflare makes a website dual-stack from the user's perspective, regardless of whether the server is IPv4-only or IPv6-only.

Typically, both the A and AAAA records point to the same Cloudflare proxy, because serving IPv4 and IPv6 via different infrastructure requires a lot of care to avoid subtle brokenness.
Now that this thread is not really active anymore I'd like to comment that Business Insider is the record holder of the year for Surveillance Capitalism Sites for me, with 24 trackers present in this article (after I disabled all the tracking I could in the popup dialog, no less).

I doubt those sacrifices and risks are worth $1B for a single person though.
> ... build all my projects inside docker, using each language’s most recent stable release

This has been my personal policy for the last 6 years, it works well in practice.

You get the best of both worlds. A rock solid system with the flexibility to use whatever programming runtime versions you want.
> believing the US has an actual hardline between church and state.

Did I say "hardline"? No, that's your word. Of course there isn't a hardline. It's an ideal that we try to maintain. It's a stated goal that we can all read in black and white. We have lawyers and constitutional scholars to mediate disputes over this stated goal.

> it’s funny you turn to “trans”... “ni—-er get a job”

I don't know why this is funny. Or are you saying that you are offended I even brought it up?
How the Pandemic Now Ends
I agree. I have quite some tools in my workshop that I only know how to use because I took a lot of time and effort to learn them.

If somebody explained stuff to me it helped jump start stuff. But experimentation was often my go to mode of operation.
What a ridiculous artcile. The author comes out as such a loser.
If I'm following all this correctly, the role of the person standing behind the committer that used the n-word in commit messages was literally to purge "toxic" elements and enforce social justice orthodoxy within the Perl Foundation, until she resigned and accused the rest of the board of not caring about the safety of the community. I would honestly be unsurprised to find she'd outright been invoking trans rights to get her way in unrelated disputes; that seems to happen a lot these days. A lot of this has nothing to do with whatever oppressed groups it's meant to be helping and everything to do with the raw exercise of power.
How long do they last?

Can we possibly change these arbitrary sport regulations making the balls last 100x as much?
Both the US and particularly the EU over-bought. In particular, the EU increased Pfizer/Biontech orders after the AZ delays became apparent, but the committed AZ is still arriving (just late) and is now largely useless.
Just how many PICU beds do you think exist in the surge states?
Too many guards and training wheel preventions? Lack of adherence to a loose standard causing incompatible language variations from different vendors? Pascal editors often enforced a code layout style, with different editors enforcing different styles? No serious work done in pascal?
What Hath Man Wrought
That's a great analysis. I did spot one sentence which seems to use the wrong term though:

> Let participants verify RSA key fingerprints out of bounds

Presumably that should say "out-of-band".
After a period of significant novelty, GPT-3 reveals itself to be something other than a magical fountain of ingenuity. However, ‘useless’ is going too far when talking about it as a writing tool. It can serve a similar purpose as generative games and techniques such as ‘exquisite cadaver’ or free writing.

One of the difficult things to do in art is to make something that makes some kind of sense but doesn’t simply follow an obvious logical path. Robert Frost put this as ‘no surprise for the writer, [then] no surprise for the reader.’ These leaps, or ‘illogical conclusions’ occupy a non-polynomial space of endless parameters. It’s like a traveling salesman problem where we aren’t sure where the salesman wants to be or how he traveled, until he has made it to his destination. Generative AI can help search the problem space.
Creating good languages is hard. Let's not encourage it e.g., It is good that Python enforces a few constraints on the syntax and many abstraction can be used as is between various unrelated projects.
Re: this bespoke protocol, could it be something that emulates the same abstraction as Mach IPC (without being the same protocol), such that the kernel API of this protocol exposes functions similar-enough to Mach IPC functions to the driver that it would basically be a matter of an #ifdef to switch between the two? The tagged-64bit-messages thing sounds very reminiscent, is why I’m thinking along those lines.

> They do have a non-DCP driver they're still shipping, that runs all the same code entirely within the macOS kext. I'm not sure exactly what it's for.

Presumably, they didn’t always have the coprocessor as part of the design, especially at the prototype phase. Imagine what type of workstations were built to prototype the Apple Silicon release of macOS — they probably didn’t have any Apple-specific coprocessors at first (and then they were likely gradually added for testing by sticking them on a PCIe card or something.)
"In other countries"..

You're gonna have to be more specific than that chief.

Which countries? Which vaccine(s) did they use? What's the efficacy of those vaccines? How many doses have the patients been given?

You know.. some actual information about the topic.
YMMV - I worked at Microsoft and then at various startups in California. Maybe West Coast culture was different from yours.
Taking a quick look at RPmsg, it seems it's from 2016. Apple have been doing coprocessors longer than that; Apple had their Secure Enclave in 2013 and that was already using their mailbox system, which is fundamentally different from the IRQs-only RPmsg that keeps all message passing entirely in shared memory.

In general, this kind of message passing thing is easy to reinvent and everyone does it differently. You'll find tons of mailbox drivers in Linux already, all different.
Yes! I find that if I don't comment my PRs, my coworkers avoid them. But then in commenting them, I find quite a few ... not always errors, but cleanups at least.
Thanks for sharing this story. Made me smile. Nice ironic touch.
The /24 itself doesn’t cost me anything. I registered it before ARIN existed and it’s considered a “legacy” block. No fees cause I never signed their registration agreement.

I pay about $180/month for a “business internet” cable line. 300 megabits down, 25 up. I also “know a guy” at the ISP who made sure the routing wasn’t going to be an issue.
Yes, but but also the problem really is: "given some initial condition space, can we estimate the likelihood of ejection (how many conditions in the condition space eject) in X timeframe"?
The file system hasn’t been hidden for years. Unfortunately the app and components that interact with it are completely anemic, so it’s still a pain to work with.

North American trends have not been great lately in general.

Maybe I'll finally get that European passport I've been putting off.
It's strange to me, where I live the government pays entire powerplants to stay operational while not producing any power, just for the event of a malfunction in another plant/an unexpected surge in supply. I expect other governments do the same. Why can't they do that for ICU beds?
The Russians' usage of the term antifascist certainly didn't age well, but it's worth noting that "fascists" is how all people in the world referred to certain Germans and Italians for a period of 25 years all up until 1945 (and the affected folks didn't mind that - in fact, the term was invented in Italy in 1915 and then adopted by Mussolini in 1918 and by Hitler in 1923 [0]). So for Russians to refer to Germans who didn't join them as fascists is just a continuation of how the term had been used for a long time.

By 1961, it was definitely unfair to continue using the term in its original meaning, and at this point it was certainly the Russian government pushing their agenda a lot more strongly than the general population would have on its own. But it's not like everyone was strictly opposed to it either - the horrors of the war had created in Eastern Europe such deep resentment towards Germany that it would take a lot more than 16 years to get over that. In fact, my grandpa lived until the 90s and still called every German a fascist.

When you end your comment with, "Both Ruby and Python seem to be made to appeal to people originally," that comes across as a statement by implication that Racket was not made to appeal to people originally. Otherwise, why say it?
I just picked up mine from Amazon. Random cheap brands but everything was in stock. Rock Auto seemed to have stock as well. Maybe I got lucky.
Sure, but anyone can go up to 10. These go to 11.
Is it that difficult to build and/or install a newer version that better fits your needs? I tend to stick to debian stable, but in the few cases where I need newer software I just build it myself. Using `apt build-dep [package]` and then something along the lines of `configure && make && make install` basically always works.

edit: I guess if you work somewhere with a policy of requiring you to use system packages, you're a little screwed, but that seems more of an organizational problem than a debian problem.
The laying of some groundwork was recently discussed here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/07/msg00028.html
I already solved this problem for me. I use graphql code generator (https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/) to generate graphql resolvers on BE and angular services on FE.
I use MongoDB and database models are written in typescript. I want to manage db models separately from the API. With this approach, I'm type-safe from end to end.

Edit: I forgot mobile. Apollo Android client generates schemas from schema and queries. I've never written iOS app, so I can't recommend anything yet.
You just don’t need to tie any of these tax statuses and income to your person.

Form a corporation or trust or both and have those do all the earning, and make a distribution whenever you really need to. This is not simple when you are barely getting ahead in life, but if you are it is very simple.
Debian upgrades are notoriously smooth.
Didn’t read the article, so if they are claiming 1Gbps or something like that then no.

But as an engineering manager who travels to Costa Rica often to work for weeks from there (from all over the country) I can tell you that I rarely have connectivity issues.
I think there is evidence that this is true for some sweeteners, such as Ace K, but I don't think this is the case with aspartame.

There is an unofficial (afik) effort to build something like AUR for Debian. It's quite new I think.

Just testing non-desktop software on ARM – you could use a Raspberry Pi 4 for that. Or a Pinebook Pro. Or just an EC2 instance!

For "real workstation" class hardware (i.e. working PCIe/XHCI/AHCI on standard ACPI+UEFI systems with mostly FOSS firmware) nothing beats SolidRun boards (MACCHIATObin/HoneyComb LX2K). Yeah yeah the Cortex-A72 cores are really showing their age, oh well, on the other hand the SoCs are not embedded cursed crap :)

"Hello! I’m Hector Martin and like to go by the nickname “marcan”. I currently live in Tokyo, Japan as an IT/security consultant by day and a hacker by night. For some definition of day and night, anyway."

Hacker for hire basically. This project was started via crowdfunding enough monthly sponsors (overnight from his previous reputation and interest in this project) and is somewhat half day job and half night hacking out of personal interest as a result.
Yes.

The off-season RSV surge is both coming at the worst possible time, and is a paradoxical effect of (amongst other measures) masks, which led to a “immune deficiency” in kids.

Influenza isn’t gone either (although except for some regions in China there is very little signal so far). Knock ok wood that it takes a bit longer.
And here: https://micronews.debian.org/
My point is that we have evidence-based strategies to reduce transmission in schools that have virtually no documented downsides: kn94 masks, ventilation, desk spacing, shots for staff.
Shouldn’t you also be unhappy that your personal files are scanned on your Dropbox that you pay for? Is that not the exact same betrayal of trust? I don’t get the whole “because I’m holding the computer it’s happening on there should be different rules” thing.

I'm mostly amazed that enough people still use Perl that they have a board and a community action committee and a "pumpking" whatever that is.

Also, I feel like characterising this as a CoC enforcement issue is a bit misleading - after reading the article this isn't really about the same thing as the backlash to CoCs (like not using preferred pronouns or whatever). This is just straight up abuse and racism. You don't need a CoC for that.

I understand the muscle memory argument. Over 30+ year career, I’ve bounced back and forth between Unix, windows, and MacOS a few times and as such lost that subconscious level of system operation you get from that muscle memory for a period of time. Definitely it can be a pain in the ass. I think my difference is that in most cases when I was doing a platform shift, I was doing an app shifts at the same time. So it just became necessary to relearn anyway. I can see if your app platform stays the same and your OS changes, that could create some frustration where tweaking would be more important.

Back in 2008 when I made my last shift the MacOS caused me some frustration because I was expecting window management to work like Windows. Took some time to get past it, but now how it works is my expectation. Lately I have found with moving to iPadOS more and more for non-business computing needs, that when I work on my MBP, I maximize everything and just alt-tab between it all. Windows management needs are almost nil.
Does it really matter what your child is sick from if the hospitals are overflowing?
iOS is undeniably the one that would lead and determine how the future would be. In terms of money, iOS makes almost 5x more money than MacOS excluding all the services and wearables the iOS brings in as well. It makes lots of sense to continue invest heavily on iPadOS to attract more advanced users like devs.

iPad Pro M1 is the baby first step to start bringing in more MacOS compatible pieces to iPadOS. Eventually it would suck some or even most of the MacOS users into the iPadOS.
I'm not going to address the "church and state" argument. I'll refer instead to Emerson's quote that "An Institution Is The Lengthened Shadow Of One Man [sic]." (We should say "one person.")

There's a simple CoC that neatly solves all these problems, and it's small enough to put on a footer for every page of every document:

"If you're an asshole, I kick you out."

You're asking "how do we know what asshole-ness consists of?"

The answer is that you know the leader and you trust them. If you don't, you should leave.
> I wasn't raised to believe that if you work hard you WILL get it. No, it's that if you DON'T work hard, you WON'T get it.

Well said. I think the common misconception comes from reducing these wisdoms into aphorisms that are short, but easily misunderstood. Any adult who has lived more than a few years in the real world quickly understands that hard work doesn’t guarantee success, but that success isn’t going to fall in your lap without putting in work.

The online discourse has become particularly bad, with the pendulum swinging between extremes of “You can do anything if you follow your dreams” to the opposite of “Nothing you do matters because it’s all blind luck”.

The latter, cynical mindset has become particularly popular as a way of dismissing or downplaying the success of others. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard people try to attribute Jeff Bezo’s success to that one time he was lucky enough to receive a loan from his family. Yes, it was a lucky break, but it should be obvious that something like receiving a loan from one’s family doesn’t automatically predispose someone to lucking into building a trillion dollar company. Yet there’s a growing contingent of people who want to believe that Jeff Bezos tripped and fell and landed in the founder seat of a successful company by pure luck.

I think the truth is that a lot of people, especially younger people still finding their way, are insecure about their own success or place in life. It can be extremely comforting to surround yourself with explanations that nothing is actually within your control or that others’ success or happiness is the result of randomness. I think this is why we see the oft-repeated trope (on HN especially) that people who post happy photos on social media must actually be secretly sad and miserable behind the scenes: It’s a convenient excuse to downplay the happiness and success of others.

Ignore the extremes. Accept that success isn’t guaranteed. Know that luck is a factor, but it’s not the only factor. Hard work is your lever to maximize the cards you’ve been dealt. We’re all dealt different cards, but it still comes down to your own actions in leveraging the hand you’ve been dealt.

I'm not sure how this would "fix" the problems with Bitcoin. It would change perception perhaps but the damage has largely already been done to make it nothing more than speculative and difficult to ground in real world currencies.
Right, but I don't want to dismiss current rises in sickness due to that inappropriately. So my question is had this been qualified?
> Do your google searches at work frequently involve porn or something?

If I want to look up example of string operations in C I might Google "c strings" or "c strings examples". Incidentally, in similar fashion to G-strings, a C-string is a type of lingerie.

If I'm doing quick graphics adjustments I don't want to bother the art department with I might use the fantastic GNU Image Manipulation Program and do a search for "gimp tricks" or "gimp tutorials". Incidentally, as anyone who's seen "Pulp Fiction" might know, a gimp is a type of BDSM gear. Definitely not savory for work.

This is why, much as I'm concerned about personalized searches, it's kind of non-negotiable for me that to function as a professional software engineer I should be logged-in to my Google account. It's the only way I can be sure not to get results from, say, Victoria's Secret.
They did. Same with the US inviting Third Reich scientists. Or BND, CIA, MI5 and others inviting HVA (Stasi foreign spy agency) people into their ranks.

What, except maybe that states are immoral and opportunistic, does these things tell us?

I am not sure. Maybe I am missing net positive things as outcomes from these behaviors. But to me neither example is good.
This is simplistic thinking.

Japan is also subject to powerful earthquakes and tsunamis and was pretty poor after WW2 (for this discussion it is not important who caused it).

I think it is fair to say that the natural disasters add to the problems but are not sole cause if it.
Based on what source are you saying that exactly?

Those shortages have been explained for a while by a combination of overlean JIT manufacturing(1) and supply chain issues.

I just don't get it. We already have regular hygiene programs to remediate legacy stuff - remove weak encryption methods, scan for CVEs and patch old versions, etc. IPV6 isn't any harder to use than IPV4 except for storing a larger IP address. Really, there's no excuse and that goes double for anyone using a modern stack instead of legacy.
It would be nice if definitions were well-known and stable but there seems to be a significant number of people working against that ideal in favor of definitions that are malleable and curated (some might say policed) by various preferred groups.

IMHO, this is the source of quite a bit of division of late.
There are eight PICU beds per 100,000 children in the US. That is 5-6,000 PICU beds in total:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31162205/

I don't know the breakdown among states, but given the number of beds is at least 20X greater than the number of covid hospitalizations across the US, I don't imagine the situation will ever be that dire in a significant number of states.

Also fullmoon provided evidence that suggests the shortage of PICU beds in Texas is mostly due to the immunity debt [1] being paid, and RSV spreading, with the lifting of covid containment policies:

In that were the real concern, the DDR would have restricted travel from the West to the East by residents of the West, but not travel by its own residents to the West and return journeys—yet it prohibited the latter.

Moreover the DDR cannot seriously have had such concerns, since it too e.g. employed former Nazi officers in its army.
Also note that this particular research lab seems to be the only one that can find any link between aspartame and cancer, with many others finding none. Additionally, this is not new data but a reanalysis of existing data, and the rats in question were exposed to a quite high dose.
