"Facebook is allowed to buy Whatsapp if it does not merge the identities / keeps WA separate from FB" ( EU ).

Well, what the heck. I thought they really said that. But this : https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_14_... does not say so.
If you read RFC7721 which I linked above, you'll find that "SLAAC temporary addresses" is the bare minimum (from 2012), but not the recommended process (over a decade later). And is therefore not what most platforms use today.

> DHCPv6 temporary addresses have the same properties as SLAAC temporary addresses (see Section 4.6). On the other hand, the properties of DHCPv6 non-temporary addresses typically depend on the specific DHCPv6 server software being employed. Recent releases of most popular DHCPv6 server software typically lease random addresses with a similar lease time as that of IPv4. Thus, these addresses can be considered to be "stable, semantically opaque". [DHCPv6-IID] specifies an algorithm that can be employed by DHCPv6 servers to generate "stable, semantically opaque" addresses. [0]

The very last line of that Wikipedia paragraph points you to RFC8064 [1], which is a standard, and completely obsoletes the early "SLAAC temporary addresses", and makes the rest of the paragraph nothing but historical information. (The mention of Windows XP should stand out as a red flag, there.)

> By default, nodes SHOULD NOT employ IPv6 address generation schemes that embed a stable link-layer address in the IID.

The compiler isn't so much strict in a pedantic sense. It more nudges you to avoid bugs, in a "you may want to rethink this" way. It's actually quite nice to have someone point out potential bugs in your code.
The original post was criticizing the use of emissions per capita. Now you are saying that really you were talking about a change in emissions per capita. Seems different to me.
Given the vast array of divergent takes on the Abrahamic religions, the Taliban are simply another, but their particular brand strikes a sore-spot for the West that is out of proportion to their significance as a tribal group in an historically troubled place. The words of this NYT piece seem full of nobility, yet fail to address that the desires and norms of Taliban society are quite orthogonal to the Western way of life. Such tension will endure, and once again will erupt. Western concepts of justice and human rights will not bend to those of the Taliban, so undercurrents of punitive reaction will continue towards them.
It's not even just California either. The Ogallala aquifer that underlies the Midwest corn belt is also running low. That's 90% of national corn production and affects basically everything that uses corn starch or HFCS.

I’m far from the most senior developer at my company and I make far more than that here in the U.S. To the point I would be insulted if I got a job offer for $11k a month. The thing is, salaries for engineering talent is just really low in London.
> if the user's ISP is sharing a very limited pool of IPs with a large number of users, it's conceivable that all the connections to your site could fill up.

Unless each of your users is establishing 600 connections to your site, this isn’t a realistic issue. I don’t know of ISPs that go beyond 1000:1 over-subscription.
This is exactly right. There's a big difference between inventing a thing and exploiting that invention. It might not even be a good time in the market to exploit the idea.
If Covid had symptoms as physically horrific as Smallpox, Bubonic Plague or Ebola, I think there would be fewer people rejecting a vaccine.
Is that a necessary condition though or due to the environment? A security company I worked for got acquired and in a relatively short time they went from 100 to 300 to 600 quickly in preparation for the acquisition. I am not sure those people were required for the valuation or if they were part of the standard game plan of a sale.
It still boils down to everyone gets an identifying number, whether it's an ipv4 address or an ipv6 block.

Any randomized ipv6 address from that block is still as "unique" an identifier as an ipv4 address.
The same applies to my example; the exe includes a statically linked version of Qt as well as all the other stuff mentioned. So the question remains.
"Ultimately the goal of IPv6 is to end IP scarcity"

That is a goal, and perhaps the primary goal, but there are other goals as well. IPv6 makes the Internet itself more efficient by reducing routing overhead and it simplifies network management.

Of course, what will ultimately force ISPs and services to switch to IPv6 is IPv4 address space exhaustion. As the price of a public IPv4 address rises people will begin to more seriously consider an IPv6-only approach, even if it means losing a few users (especially since ISPs will have to make IPv6 available once such services become popular). It has taken longer than expected as various approaches have squeezed the last bits of utility out of IPv4, but it will eventually happen as several billion more people are connected to the Internet.
Optimists downplay problems and are annoying to work with, especially if in charge. I rather work with pessimists any day. (As long as we are not talking about like, grumpy vs happy, but more in a technical sense).
How does this compare/contrast with Semgrep?
> The problem is we have short lifespans so small setbacks in humanity's history are significant to those of us alive at that point in time.

It is still a reason to be optimistic. Limited individual lifespan is like a regularization term; one particular human can get only so much wise and world-improving; while our optimization goal is multi-generational. Those setbacks might as well be necessary backtracking.
Congratulations. What are you working on?
So you get a bunch of nations together, sign an agreement implementing a carbon tax within each country and imposing tariffs on countries that don't sign on.

It’s silly not to include this in the article. The majority of these “one man shows” are the result of years of work building an online audience, and then launching a business around that audience.

Roam is another example. Without Conor having the Twitter audience he had and the hype around Roam, specifically on Twitter, they don’t hit $2m+ in rev their first month of turning on pricing.
If one’s going to argue about choice of first programs, a proper Hello World on classic macOS requires the use of the Mac Toolbox. Using the bundled Think C console isn’t really producing a Mac-native program.
Except that's not how it's going to play out. I suspect it plays out by China going fully nuclear and renewable in the next decade. They'll make mistakes, they'll kill people in accidents, but they will get there. That will eliminate the most idiotic talking point in the world against the West doing anything about climate change so there's that.

But also, China having done so, the West will undergo a horrendous sense of FOMO, and dig itself out of its own ditch to catch up.

Without a competitor, western nations are just crabs in the crab pot, pulling each other deeper into the increasingly boiling water IMO.
Effects, yes. Side effects are a particular form of effect. A pure functional language can compose an effectful value that is interpreted by a runtime, but no effect happens on the side as the program is evaluated.
> Nietzsche's attacks on Kant are also pretty devastating.

His attacks on Kant are extremely surface-level. Kant believed in duty, Nietzsche didn't. That's basically it. I mean, Nietzsche's moral theory doesn't even explain baseline moral actions (e.g. a mother's love for her child, not murdering people you don't like, paying your taxes).

> Perhaps you'd like to mention what specifically these seminal ideas are that prove moral nihilism, or perhaps a better way of phrasing it, Nietzsche's meta-ethical view wrong.

Nothing, but that's kind of the point. His meta-ethical views are empty, uninteresting, and ultimately fruitless. They don't really help us become more just or more fair, nor do they illuminate the moral world. It's not like people write deep biting critiques of stoicism or solipsism, either.

These are essentially dead philosophies, in contrast with something like Kantian ethics—which is a sort of "hardline" deontology—and probably wrong-ish, but still studied and taken somewhat seriously.

Many of the old ways are being forgotten, and `Grandma's brain` is not so readily picked anymore since people value their Internet & the hive mind of social media more than the wisdom of their elders.

Also the old way of passing down teachings orally, like in the case of Buddhism and some other religions, is declining. Now it has to be perfectly preserved on the Internet so that people can refer back to it.

Any loss means efficiency below 100%. If it takes 1kwh of electricity to compress 10 kWh of hydrogen (assuming 100% conversion back into electricity in the fuel cell, which its not) then your efficiency is 90%.

This is applied to all steps, electrolysis, compression, transport, and fuel cell conversion back to electricity.

Current fuel cells cannot put out enough burst power to acceleration nor can they accept electricity in reverse to generate hydrogen so all current fuel cell vehicles use a traction battery that is charged by the fuel cell, they are basically series hybrids. They also typically have lower acceleration because the small traction battery + fuel cell cannot supply as much power as a much larger full EV battery.
> Leonard filed suit, claiming that Pepsi’s ad had constituted as a binding offer.

The article says the judge ruled it was not a binding offer for 3 reasons:
1. Advertisements are generally not considered offers in contract law.
2. The ad was obviously a joke.
3. An enforceable contract requires both parties’ signatures.
A bold position to take for representatives of a government that maintains multiple databases of fingerprint scans for foreign nationals and their own citizens…

> A total length of 64 bits would be too small for the eventual size of the internet.

Even home consumers are getting at least a /64. Unless you're expecting consumers to start having ~2^64 devices, it doesn't seem like anyone is concerned with the public internet needing more than ~2^64 addresses.
JSX has very little to do with the DOM. It’s always been a language extension to provide render-agnostic expressions. Non-DOM renderers have existed for years (React Native, smart TV, CLI, PDF, PowerPoint, the list keeps going…).

The reality is it’s a good abstraction because it’s so decoupled from the DOM, but it’s associated with the DOM and web mainly for historical reasons.

It’s also worth noting that there are similar extensions to other languages that are similarly render-agnostic.
Yep, afaik if allocation of memory for the object fails it's canonical to immediately return nil.

I used to edit OpenStreetMap but one unfortunate experience really soured me to it. I was going through a city, "un-braiding" the dual carriage ways, which was at one point OSM's recommendation for dual carriage intersections (can't find the URL). After fixing up about 15 or so city blocks I got a very angry message from someone who demanded that I undo my edits because this was "his" area of the map. Not wanting to get into a pointless dispute with a nerd, I just reverted the commit and haven't really been into OSM since. Thanks for nothing, I guess. Maybe this was just one guy, or maybe OSM has the same "territorial editors" problem as Wikipedia.
Based on the calculator below, a final crater diameter of 7.39 km ( = 4.59 miles ), and final crater depth of 540 meters ( = 1770 feet ).

I've run estimates of effects for selected distances from 1km to 1,000 km from impact. You'd probaby want to be at least 50 km minimum from ground zero. Strutural damage would be severe, though humans could survive There'd be substantial blast effects to 200 km, as well as ejecta.

Nearer than 50 km, thermal and blast effects, as well as ejecta, would all likely be lethal.

Maybe it depends on where in the company they are, but it seems to me that most successful founders are pretty optimistic. I know I wouldn’t want to work for a pessimist, but I agree that I wouldn’t want to be led by a completely unrealistic optimist. There needs to be some awareness of reality, but at the same time the vision and ‘reality distortion’ can help drive big successes and rally teams imho

The creator of React-Three-Fiber has come out with some extremely bizarre tweets, like claiming updating 2,000 cubes at 60fps is an "impossible amount of load" [0].

The solution it uses for performance is... punting your calculations to the next frame if you didn't make it this frame. They call this "the scheduler". Turns out this makes no sense in any serious context if you want your 3D frame to be coherent.

I'm sure this is helpful for some people, but I can't rely on it when making serious applications. There's lots of things you can punt to the next frame, but ideally that should be decided per system, and not a global framework.

Keep in mind that rendering here is still happening every frame, so the only thing that's happening is 2,000 transform updates for cubes. Inexplicably, without the scheduler that punts updates to the next frame, it takes 700ms to do this [1]. For 2,000 matrix muls. That's 3ms per cube. What on earth is this doing?

>>Sure - here's just one citation about COVID-19 being in the top-10 causes of deaths for children.

From your link:

>>Officials with Children’s of Alabama said in 2020, the virus was one of the top 10 leading causes of death in children.

>>“COVID is the tenth leading cause of death for children in the United States,” Dr. David Kimberlin with Children’s of Alabama said. “It is among most common causes of death in children and adolescents.”

Covid being described as the 10th leading cause of death for children in a single state in a single year is very weak substantiation of your claim. First of all, at 10th place, it is the least significant cause of death among the top 10. This diminishes the potency of your statistical claim.

For context, for the 1-4, 5-9 and 10-14 age groups, pneumonia/influenza are the 6th, 7th and 8th leading cause of death, respectively:

https://webappa.cdc.gov/cgi-bin/broker.exe

So in Alabama, the response to influenza & pneumonia in children should be more drastic than the response to covid.

Second, this is a single state, which could be an outlier, meaning this "10th leading cause of death in children" statistic, as unalarming as it is, may be an over-estimation of the nation-wide statistics.

Do you have statistics showing how many children have died from covid in the US, or what the infection fatality rate for covid is for children?

With resprct to the latter, the CDC says the IFR for children is only 0.002%, which is indeed EXTREMELY low:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...

Do you find this significant, and justifying indefinite masking of all children during schooling hours?

>>With Delta being far more contagious and causing deeper infection levels, especially different profiles in the young, this will not get better with Delta.

In England, there were only 8 Delta variant deaths in the entire country for those under the age of 50 in the period under study:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/29/who-is-most-at-risk-from-the...

So I see plenty of evidence showing that your concerns are in fact unlikely to be realized.

Pure functions concept was a breakthrough for me too. As a design pattern they are wonderful, there is so much less mental context to keep track of.

Now whenever I see mutated variables and class attributes, or random side effects besides reading/writing to a database, it kinda makes me cringe and think it's a "oh here we go" into a rabbit hole just to understand what the code is doing. 9/10 the code does what it's supposed to, but the mutations and side effects makes understanding and extending it so much harder.

To be fair a lot of those expenses in the last few months of life are hail-mary attempts at recovery, and in a minority of cases they work. Those options simply weren't available in the past.

The notion that tech creates more and increasing problems is not necessarily true either. Viable Solar and Wind power wasn't a thing until recently, and it creates far fewer problems relative to Coal and Oil. Increasing efficiency is part of technological progress.

Ultimately the case against technology leads to humanity stagnating in some state on this planet until we run out of resources or the sun finally explodes. I'd like to think we can do better over the long term.
There's a mentality I've adopted that I find helpful that I call "hopeful pessimism". It's the descriptive form of "Hope for the best; prepare for the worst". You expect the worst outcome, but hope you're wrong.

I think most of the devs I've enjoyed working with have similar perspectives, and often include a dark sense of humor with it. As when the hope runs out, all you're left with is something dark, and being able to laugh at the absurdity of it, to make light of it and minimize it that way, is a helpful coping mechanism, as well as one that can help bind a team together. And also helps avoid falling into despair along the way as the hits come; you can stay hopeful and focused on the desired outcome.
You should be outsourcing as many of those as possible anyway, even if you aren’t going for the bootstrap play. There’s no strategic reason to have a finance, HR or legal team unless you have 100s of employees. That’s not to say you ignore those things, but there are so many quality SaaS services that do those at a tiny fraction of the cost of an FTE it only makes sense to use them.

>Dell is also acting corporately weird by the way.

My employer offers a modest Dell discount via an Employee Purchase Program. (EPP). You can order the 9310 with 16 or 32 gigs of memory through the EPP with Windows, but if want one with 32 gigs of memory and Linux, you have to engage their small business group and ask for a quote. Exact same machine in every way, just more memory. As I understand the memory is now soldered on the 9310 it's worth paying up front to get maximum, but I've read the storage is still upgradeable.

So Dell still thinks only businesses use 32GB of memory with Linux and for that matter Linux developers only want 13" screens. Both assumptions are (IMHO) obviously false, but there's that corporate weirdness for you.

If anyone from Dell is reading this please expand your Linux offerings to your larger laptops, preferably ones with bigger batteries and discrete GPU options. Not every developer on the planet wants an Intel-based macbook air clone, particularly when a) Iris XE GPUs benchmark slower than the current M1 GPU (which is about to get refreshed), and b) the i7-11{6,8}5G7 CPUs support 64 GB of memory. Stop crippling laptop features to fluff up your battery life numbers.
