Around 1990~1991, the TUBA proposal was already ready to go with two implementations (one on hardware router), bringing addresses to iirc either 160bits or 144 bits (don't recall exactly, been long time). Might have been better if they went for 144 bit host name and embedded port numbers in the last 2 bytes, but the point was to run TCP and UDP close to unchanged.

Then IPng got started and for most of 1990s IETF played with sweeping changes while "temporary solution" that was IPv4 entrenched itself in worse and worse ways.
tbh I don‘t. Even compared to people in my country I feel like I‘m not creating much more value than those paid a minimum wage. I rather feel both lucky working in an industry where (too) much money changes hands and a bit guilty, too
"Phoenix 1.6 ships with a new phx.gen.auth command for a complete authentication solution bootstrapped into your application" - hope it's a decent implementation. Setting up a JWT authentication took me days while learning phoenix/elixir and it is the sole reason why I never went with Phoenix for any other project. So many components involved.
Sure he didn’t get the idea from sweaty Steve Ballmer? “Developers developers developers developers!”
For those (like me) just hearing about AccessKit, I assume it's this: https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit

Neat! I really like the Rust ethos of creating modular cross-platform adopters (e.g. winit, getrandom), and from a brief skim this seems to fit that model.
I'm skeptical that decline is caused by increasing wealth rather than by demographic changes like women entering the workforce and a larger portion of the population being retirement-aged.
Fundamental physics helped with this accomplishment!
> but the other 97% of the current value came from somewhere else.

It the value literally came from somewhere else (geographically), funneled through the financial district and spread to the local economy. London is the bay area, but for bankers.

The City of London has been laundering money for centuries. Lately, there's a lot of Russian/former soviet oligarch money sloshing about, and the Square Mile doesn't ask too many questions about source of funds. Not too long ago, HSBC was slapped on the wrist for laundering cartel money.
Model for group decision-making shows how 'followers' can influence the outcome
Use link local IPv6 addresses internally (or unique local if you need to). That's what they are for. You can also make them very short, like fe80::1, fe80::2, etc. Your router won't forward anything in fe80::/10 to the Internet (or any other network).
Very cool, didn't know about AccessKit.
The extra cores are welcome, but, for a workstation, the eMMC is limiting. And I have emotional scars from Nvidia GPUs in desktop Linux computers, so I'll pass this one.
One decade later, most HN commenters are still clueless about the basics and potential of Bitcoin. Perhaps the El Salvador deployment will open up some eyes.
OTOH, I think this position is relevant only from the perspective of new scientific inquiry — it’s worth asking questions that have already be asked when learning / acquiring knowledge! Sure, someone could find this information on Google, but misinformation too, so I think it’s worth asking in this sort of environment so we can all more deeply understand existing theory, etc.
I’m more impressed by the ability to metabolize oxygen. Nobody will ever beat that.
Basic options theory:

- Non-linear payout means volatility matters to what the option costs: even though the distribution of future returns may be symmetric, option is worth something because it either goes to zero or +ve.

- Black-Scholes is the first step in quantifying what the value the asymmetry gives the option. Clearly, more vol means option is worth more. But also all the other Greeks fall out of it and are intuitive: theta accelerates towards expiration, interest rate/div moves the price, etc.

- When you're trading an option, you're trading the vol. All other numbers (rate/div/time/current price) are fixed, vol is the only degree of freedom.

- If you're long a call, you can sell some underlying to give your profit-vs-price graph a nice bowl shape. Same if you're long a put, you can just buy some underlying and whatever the market does, you will make money. When the market moves up, you make money. When it goes down, you make money. Now and again when you've made some money, you flatten your delta (sell high, buy low) and you're back at the bottom of a new bowl, and you can keep locking in gains. This is called being long gamma.

- Sounds nice, doesn't it? What's the downside? As time passes, the option loses value because there's less time for it to move a lot. If you don't manage to buy low and sell high enough to lock in the price of the option, you've net lost money.

- So what determines whether you will be able to do this trick, or perhaps the opposite (sell options and hope not to lock in losses)? The relationship between the implied volatility the option was bought for and the actual volatility that happened over the time that you had it.

It also helps when you connect from mobile networks, as due to various things (including, afaik, licensing shenanigans) there's a huge push for v6 in mobile networking. Even your v4 traffic is probably going over v6 using 4x6x4 translation.

Okay, maybe dense cities were a bad example. Obviously density makes a larger number of stores per square mile more viable than it would be in a less dense area, even if you have a highly effective transportation system. My point though is that, all factors considered, our current city layout actually is close to optimal under the assumption that road construction is free.

The problem of course being that road construction is _not_ free; we've just created an incentive structure that causes the market to behave as it it were.
Hey Chris! Is there a LiveView future where one can forego javascript frameworks altogether in creating higher-fidelity UIs?
Exactly. Censorship is to prevent truth from circulating as much as possible. Nothing more, nothing less. Tyrants use it solely. Now they are also admitted segregationists.
Just because we don't get it perfect, doesn't mean we can't talk about the concept of human rights.
> CEOs don’t get paid so much because they are personally unique. [...] CEOs have artificial scarcity because of the hierarchical structure of companies.

They get paid proportional to the impact of their decisions, not in proportion to their scarcity, skill, etc.

If Apple must have someone to make decisions every day that could cost the company millions of dollars, what is the correct amount to compensate that person?

And if Apple were instead a $50M market cap company, would that amount change?

CEO compensation is a combination of "someone has to be in the chair" + "how important are our decisions?" + "how much can we afford to pay."

To reach back to the GP's gripe: if 1 (or even 160,000) assembly workers screw up at their job, it has a much lower impact on Apple as a whole.
The distance metric for flat spacetime is given by:

ds^2 = dx^2 + dy^s + dz^2 - cdt^2

For a particle traveling at the speed of light, this gives ds=0.
They could lean into it, but perhaps it could be seen as disrespectful to the dead and those suffering. “Don’t catch Delta! Catch a Delta flight instead!”

I would temporarily abandon the word by itself and instead use the phrases “Delta Airlines” and “Delta virus variant”. Clarity at the risk of wordiness.
We can't assign 0 probability to any position on the grounds of "humility", but "negative mass" assuming our best theories are true is probability-0.

The relevant probabilities when making predictions are under the best theoretical assumptions we can make; which includes that the universe follows the same laws of physics everywhere.

It isn't very interesting to observe that, absent these, no proposition has a zero probability.

Eg., you dont get to claim that given the laws of physics it is possible to have a negative mass, because given no laws of physics, it is possible.

When you arent given any information at all, all propositions are equally likely.

Propositions like, "the universe has a maximum speed" aren't merely observational. They follow with probability-1 from fundamental universal laws of physics. If this is false, all of physics is false.
That's correct, but sort of missing the point. Facebook isn't deliberately training people on far right conspiracies. But those conspiracies happen to do a really (really) good job of evading what controls exist and end up being presented as "suggested content" to a bunch of people who, while ideologically susceptible to it, wouldn't ever see it otherwise.

And it's a real problem, because this garbage is just swimming in deliberate untruth.

And it's asymmetric. There is leftist lunacy in the world too, obviously, but it doesn't end up being presented to people on Facebook just because they clicked on a climate change link or liked a post about racial justice.

But if you're a retiree who follows your local evangelical church? Your feed is now telling you that masks don't work, that the government is conspiring in one of various Mind Control theories to control your life, that your relatives (the ones who click on the climate links) are already compromised.

It's really, really bad. Just try it. Go to facebook and interact with some totally mainstream right wing entities. Churches, republican party candidates or organizations, the local gun range. And watch what you start seeing.
We can sanity check the number fairly easily. COVID has a case fatality rate of ~0.5%, so if everyone in the US had caught the coronavirus there would be around 150k excess deaths. Probably multiply that by a 80% fudge factor to at least acknowledge that some of people who die of COVID were probably frail to start with and likely to get taken out by normal disease and aging.
Just a note in passing: Unicode doesn't name glyphs; it names characters.
Why is it that the human drivers are the weak link. While driving through the city there are numerous times where pedestrians are waiting near cars and if they suddenly acted irrationally and stepped in front of the vehicle there would be a collision. Humans have to navigate that, a self driving system that refuses to attempt to read the intentions of pedestrians would be stalled forever. Not to mention in this story it could be the pedestrians fault and not on the human drivers.
I'm in a similar space. I can't see why I would ever need to understand IPv6. There are all sorts of theoretical benefits, but those will never be available to me as a residential user. For example, my ISP gives me a single IPv6 address. There is no possible reason for me to bother using it, as there will be no advantage to me.

The way I look at it, IPv6 does the following for me

1. Doubles the number of firewall rules

2. Doubles the attack surface

3. Double the header size in each packet, with no change in
MTU this means less space for data.

4. Doubles the number of routes I need to worry about

5. Doubles the points of failure

All for a benefit of ??? to a residential user.
yeah I am skeptical that people are putting in full 12 hour days
You don't know the half of it. Many contemporary and common words are the results of misspellings.

“a nickname” was originally “an ekename” (eke being an old English word meaning also)

conversely, “an apron” was originally “a napron.”

English is a weird agglomeration of different languages, with things like the application of French-style plurals (-s) to Anglo-Saxon words (but not always, cf. ox -> oxen) and a generally Germanic syntax with a large fraction of Romance root words.

As part of my Dewey Decimal Project¹ https://www.dahosek.com/category/dewey-decimal-project/ I ended up reading some interesting books on English linguistics (scroll down to the 500s for those).

1. I’m not quite done. I have two read books to blog about before I read the last book in the series which will be the book my local library has at its highest Dewey Decimal call number. Alas, it's not a 999 Extraterrestial Worlds book, but I think it's either Antarctica or Australia (I looked when I first started on this seven years ago, but I've since forgotten).
I have to agree. The ad was pretty much one of the better I have seen. Not everybody spends their life on FOSS. And a contract-to-hire model should work for everyone.
How to Fix 'Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-front end' in Linux Mint
I was wondering about this too...
From the actual press release:

"Apple will also establish a fund to assist small US developers, particularly as the world continues to suffer from the effects of COVID-19. Eligible developers must have earned $1 million or less through the US storefront for all of their apps in every calendar year in which the developers had an account between June 4, 2015, and April 26, 2021 — encompassing 99 percent of developers in the US. Details will be available at a later date."
I set this up for my family and I a few months ago and we set all our browsers and devices to use it as the default search engine. We've been really happy with it.

I also set up a small script on a cron job that queries random search strings every few minutes and opens the first few hits in selenium. My theory is that if I can't completely stop them from tracking us, I can at least dilute their data with bogus searches.

We haven't had any issues from Google.
well creatures that can't walk upright are not human so bipedalism can not be counted as a human achievement. Anyway maybe you are right in a broad sense. My point was that extolling physics above all other human achievements seems lopsided to me. Physics is useful for engineering purposes. It is not some all encompassing philosophy or technology that covers all aspects of human interaction with the universe. writing is certainly used far more broadly than the schrodinger equation.
Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Euroscepticism in England
I'm confused by this too. I use the default mDNS/DNS-SD and access my hosts with the .local TLD. It's not as robust as real DNS (looking at you Android) but works fine on the Windows and Linux hosts.
Anyone want that other side of a bet that the Webb telescope will not be doing any science in 2022? Even if it launches, it will be a miracle if it works. They are using so many brand new technologies on a spacecraft operating 3X farther away than the moon.
Where does your claim that photons don't move come from? Very simply, the Sun is 8 minutes from the Earth. The photon is most definitely moving from the Sun to the Earth.
Metadesk – an ergonomic parser for a simple–yet versatile–plaintext language
Not the author but this looks interesting in the sense that we would reduce numbers of parser implementation. How many languages this, I think a kind of "data format", can represent?

If we would categorize text base programming language "structure", how many kinds out there. Can it represent a markup e.g. HTML?
One of the positives of having lots of non-speed-record-setting cores instead of few single-threading-monsters is that it helps people learn to write parallel programs.

I wish we could give all software engineers CPUs with 64 Atom (or ARM53) cores and force them to write software that performs well that way.

I am myself guilty of that - many of my build scripts didn't bother to run on more than one core until I got a burner laptop that has horrendous single-thread performance (but 4 threads). Now the big laptop runs them virtually instantaneously.
What if I could rebut all the rebuttals?

- The analysis of supernovae light curves is calibrated in a way that presumes galactic recession. More detail here https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.11237.

- The 2.7 K cosmic background radiation is consistent with non-expansionary, non-big-bang models. Cosmic temperature was predicted 50 years before Penzias and Wilson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background#Ti...

- The mechanism for photon energy loss (can we call this "photon hubbling"?) is not scattering by free electrons. I speculate it is the cost of traveling, of a photon forging its way through spacetime. E_t / E_0 = e^(-Ht). In the act of moving, the photon is warping spacetime. It doesn't travel for free.
Such as genesis, generate press, woo-commerce... All going forward with custom blocks and such. You can get by with classic editor to a point but it's getting harder.
The core count and network processing is the same, but the number of SERDES lanes is half. This allowed the SOC's die size to be much smaller. You can fit 4 SOMs in the space of a single CEX7 module.
Hope it helps.
I agree. I don't advocate for what China is doing. I'm describing what I see.

If a state (country) has "continue to exist forever" as an objective, then under that it will have "maintain national security in both the short run and the long run" as a sub-objective, and part of that is "maintain military strength'. To maintain a military requires a population of young adults. It always has, throughout history (and probably before).

CCP leaders both know history and are numerate. They can also stick with policies for at least ten years.

Again, I'm describing what I see, not advocating for it.

Apart from population momentum, we have the conditions for long-run negative growth everywhere in the world except in sub-Saharan Africa. Momentum should dissipate in another generation. Sub-Saharan Africa seems unlikely to meet the UN's population projections for other reasons.

That's context dependent. Where I live it's not a problem that a car takes up space (my car is parked in my home's basement).

Where I typically go to it's a relatively minor problem - most places I go to only need 4 to 5 places to park cars.

Work is in the middle of nowhere, again not an issue except that the government employees have reserved the lot by the building for themselves despite it being large enough to house the contractors as well (the govt. employees want to ensure they get the spots nearest the building).

> You are justifying someone being paid $750m. No one needs that much money. No one. Why are you defending this? It's obscene.

Yeah, he doesn't need it, but I am happy that he has it. He clearly is a guy who can deliver value for society and I don't think he is going to use the money stupidly.

Would I pay someone $750m to run a company? Definitely not. However as a stock owner I would pay using stock compensation, and that's what happened here. The whole idea that the owners are paying in cash is wrong to begin with, as that isn't the case.
Thankfully as a result of the time dimension it is certainly possible to know what we don’t know…

> Ipv4 is a scarce resource, therefore it's valuable.

I don't know how valid this argument is in this context. Most ISP clients nowadays are connected 24/7, so they are using an IPv4 anyway. They might as well keep the same IP over a larger period of time.

Vodafone Cable and Telekom VDSL, both in Germany, only change your IP if they have to. You'll usually have the same one for many months.

Also, the NAT you're referring to is the one which runs on the customer's hardware, and usually the customer has the option to set up port forwarding.

All this is in the IPv4 / Dual Stack context.
it's fake news
> That would require the emission and absorption events location in the space to be the same would it not?

I think they're referring to the distance in Minkowski space,[0] where the time component and space component cancel out for light.

Not exactly. Tim Cook is not paid by either the value of his work, or his scarcity. He is paid by the EXPECTATION of the value of his work… kind of like how stock markets work.

His pay is an expression of the expectation of a lot of other people. His pay is opinion, not direct value. And you can't pick some random unproven person who may or may not perform as well, and say they are of equivalent OPINION. You could say there's a chance, even a good chance, that they're of equivalent value, but that's a gamble.

This is how weird pay disparities develop. It's not in any way that Tim Cook has personally done things worth that much, or that he's personally pressuring all those in charge of paying him to that extent.

Intentionally or not, the question Tim Cook presents to those with the power to keep or dismiss him is this: How much are you willing to bet that if you lose me, things break and everything sucks?

They are willing to bet $750 million.

That's what happened. How much would you be willing to bet? If it's far less, or if you want to kick Tim out anyway, how many are there of you? Are you heavily outnumbered or are you expressing a common opinion?
The sane default is Stable Privacy. It's a good thing that NetworkManager agrees if it has offered that to you as the default. Ultimately though any confusion that arises from how that option is presented to the user is really a bug in NetworkManager and not in IPv6. The footgun here is that NetworkManager allows you to change it so easily without offering any explanation as to what changing it will do.
Throwing money at the problem is naive unless it's well thought-out.
