outright insane.

Is IPv4 spare: Yes.

But there is NAT or IPv6.

So the only reason for that IMHO high risk proposal is companies not getting their shit together in adapting a standard which was introduced ~25!! years ago. (I'm looking at you cloud provider without proper IPv6 support.)
It really depends on the phrase. FAQ was just used as an extreme example.

No it isn't. People in rural America assume that if you're in rural America then you already believe the exact same things that they do, based largely on skin color. Try living there and going against that grain and see how "peaceful and contented" they are.

>> Honestly does anybody NOT feel alienated in our current society?

> So, I'm hoping you are not a white male, as I don't think we can have the tiniest inkling of what it feels like to be a minority.

So GP is suggesting that everyone feels isolated, regardless of race or gender.

You reply with "hoping you are not a white male" to this observation.

We all know that if GP is a white male, his comment borders on white supremacy. He's saying we've lost what makes America great, and it's all because we opened our borders and gave up cultural homogeneity. What a racist xenophobe! Good on you for calling him out!

But if GP is a woman of color, the US being a hostile place makes so much sense. And of course she's trying to figure out who the country is really for, because her experience makes it feel like it's not built for her. It's so brave to be asking these tough questions and challenging the system.

Also, are you a white male? Why do you even feel that it's ok for you to weigh in on this topic?

The way I see it, your "hoping you are not a white male" comment is culturally expected, and you said it anyway, even though we both know it causes acceleration of conflict.

Maybe you're a right-wing accelerationist, but I suspect you're not, which makes your comment even worse, because you're reinforcing their narrative unintentionally.

I think that is why IAmWorried is actually worried.
Are there any pictures of the hand-wired LISP Machine online?

I searched, but couldn't find it.

Also - when LISP was invented (1958) - what was the state of computers at the time? Doing some research - it seems like direct keyboard input to computers was only available for 2 years prior. It seems like languages were decades ahead of hardware.

I guess I'm having trouble fathoming how languages were so far ahead while computers were seemingly VERY primitive.

Are there any articles on the process for how LISP was designed and implemented??
From the article:

The disregard of male infertility in Henry’s case may offer a clue to the reasons for the under-reporting of male reproductive health, then and now, to the detriment of both men and women.

That's going to be incompatible with writing interesting software on the web, unless we want to just hand the problem over to a handful of big players who can afford to hand-vet 10,000 dependencies.

The reason packages are so big is the complexity for an interesting app is irreducible. People don't import thousands of modules for fun; they do it because simple software tends towards requiring complex underpinning. Consider the amount of operating system that underlies a simple "Hello, world!" GUI app. And since the browser-provided abstractions are trash for writing a web app, people swap them out with frameworks.

I'm working on a React app right now where I've imported about a dozen dependencies explicitly (half of which are TypeScript @type files, so closer to a half-dozen). The total size of my `node_modules` directory is closer to a couple hundred packages. It's 35MB of files. And no, I couldn't really leave any of them out to do the thing I want to do, unfortunately.
The funny thing is this is more functional (and took longer to create) than the first version of DoorDash.

My biggest beef with Sinofsky is that he was apparently the one heavily pushing for JavaScript as a high-level ".NET replacement" for end-user apps running on top of all that COM API in Win8. So much effort spent on dev tooling around that, when it could have been spent on improving .NET instead.
I am interested in the counterexample from the past: was everyone during the time before writing was invented poor thinkers?
> The editor tooling alone makes it easily worth the setup time.

The editor tooling, and also the tooling tooling. Working with type-checked, autocompleted queries in Prisma and Hasura has been wonderful (yeah, I know C# has had LINQ forever - I also remember how awesome LINQ was when it came out!)
> It's hard to believe that if I studied this stuff deeply enough and with an open mind, it would no longer seem obscure.

Not sure you could satisfy the "open minded" part of that if you are coming from this close minded starting place!

Whenever I come across something I don't understand, I will try to figure it out. If it seems utterly weird, that's even more motivation to figure it out! I really can't imagine this mode of thought where you read something, do not immediately grasp it, and then feel that somehow it's wrong/bad/obscurantist. Like, how do you learn anything at all?

Side note but its funny people throw around "sophistic" in contexts like this. In Plato's time, sophists were precisely the ones to appeal to common intuitions, for money. It was Socrates who came along and said philosophy began with wonder, and demonstrated this by intentionally confusing people in order to break them out of modes of thought that were deeply embedded.
You’re not wrong, but…

You’re completely talking past the parent and telling them that they are wrong to feel alienated.

“You’re privileged so buck up son,” is all I hear, and it’s a ridiculous sentiment.
There's a region on Pluto provisionally named after Cthulhu, citing Lovecraft as "an underworld mythology". If the IAU accepts the name, it would make this possible too.
I feel like spreadsheets are the wrong approach to the sort of things they're used for anyway. People always end up using a single sheet to store multiple tables, which is a recipe for disaster.

You don't need 3D sheets, what you really want is a canvas where you can add multiple tables on the same "sheet" that don't share rows or columns at all.

You can sort of achieve that in Excel by restricting each sheet to exactly one table, but it's very unergonomic (do you have an entire sheet for each scalar input?) so nobody does it.

I'm sure someone has made something like I've described.

Do not expect any gratitude : You have no idea who your ex-wife until you meet her in family court.

My ex wife took half of our (my) assets (including my 401k).

The lawyers took what was left as I was fighting to prevent her from moving away 3'000 miles with our kids (I had to pay for both her and my lawyer)
In the end my ex wife won her move away.
I lost my kids and I am now stuck paying more than half my salary in child support + child support add-ons such as private school, nannies, healthcare.
The remaining of my salary is spent on travel across the country once a month to be able to see my kids.

It is a very risk bet... you don't have much to win and a lot to loose if you are a men (custody) and the higher earner.
Well randomized as in not your daughter’s name and her birthday as a password. But I get what you mean. Diceware passwords can provide “sufficiently random” passphrases that, if the end user chooses, does not have to have any numbers or special characters.

For the first part, yes at some point in the future, any password n-1 will be in the database. Getting users to get used to generating 20+ character strong passwords is a challenge today. Once we can solve that, through education, we can then move beyond passwords and single factor authentication.

Ok, but this is all irrelevant. The trained history of evolution is the Chinese book. The environmental interaction is the symbol being passed into the room.

Without your trained history, you would not be able to say "it is sunny" when the sun hits your skin. We know this for sure, as an elephant or a baby are unable to say it, while a Frenchman would say different words.

Me saying "I like you" is not caused by me liking you. It is caused by me deciding, based on my experience and my perception of the current situation, to utter these words. I may be lying, I may be exaggerating, I may be misdirecting. Human speech is extremely rarey caused directly by interaction with the (external) environment (exceptions would be onomatopoeia exclaimed when in extreme pain, or when surprised, which tend to bypass most computation in the brain).
Typescript is the language that will put a lot of other server-side-only languages to bed when it comes to web-application back-ends (and then it will seep into everything else, unless it's performance critical, but at some point that'll probably be addressed, too).
You should probably add this to the brands as well, so I can search e.g. "not Lenovo" or "not Google". A "select all" button would also make it faster to get that.

Because that's what people do.
This might be true, and I agree SWE should always push for getting a decent slice of the pie. However how much of the 'value' is establishing a monopoly in some area of tech, rather than the tech itself. The mysterious "good will" or "intangible assets" of the brand value, institutional knowledge, having the right software and hardware in one place etc.

There is only one Google, but there are plenty of bright people who are capable of learning SWE.

If all the little tech companies were making $1m revenue per SWE too, then yes you'd probably see tech wages raise in line with that.

However those little tech companies haven't solved traction and growth yet (if they are aiming to at all), so they can't compete with SV and stay profitable. They don't have $100M in funding to throw into salaries.

Or from another angle - a individual SWE starting their own mini SaaS makes $2k a month. They are happy for this as a start, but on the other hand they are extremely underpaid!

An analogy - shouldn't Amazon warehouse workers be on double what they are paid, as without them Amazon can't ship anything!

At the extreme, workers getting the full value of what they are putting in would be something different to a corp, more like a co-op.

> You can still hand-edit HTML with Notepad and publish it to a free web host.

Exactly. The last website I made for a festival early last year I wrote by hand with Notepad++. It ended up being 14 HTML files (7 files and 2 languages) and a couple CSS files and a lot of reading about current CSS standards. Initially I started with WordPress but couldn't find a decent theme to do the layout we wanted, so I scrapped it after a couple days of trying to bend several themes to my will.

Not much different than how I did it in the 90s... except back then I couldn't just DuckDuckGo to find thousands of pages with HTML/CSS help.

this is the problem, but it's magnified by the fact that you put responsibility in the hand of content makers and web developers, of course they are not interested in this.

After 10 years of headlines that we have "run out" of IPv4, the reality is that free IPv4 is gone, but there is a real market for IPv4 (and that means there is still availability).

One question I've had is around DoD ranges. I haven't followed this closely but they seemed to be sitting on excessive quantities.

The unfortunate reality is that given the crazy IPv6 model and approach IPv4 is going to be with us a for a few more years.

Another idea I had was a a $2/year fee per IP fee, this would make sitting on large blocks as a speculation exercise less profitable.

The moon has 3He, at a concentration of maybe 10ppb, in regolith the heating of which would use more energy than the released 3He would yield in fusion.

Helium at cosmic isotope ratios is 120ppm 3He. So if there were a planet out there with an atmosphere of this helium, extracting the 3He would be much easier (just compress, liquefy and separate, which you'd have to do with lunar helium anyway.)

I didn’t make any personal attacks. It’s not a personal attack to point out that you haven’t read something that you are commenting on. And I honestly don’t believe you read it in detail before your first comments. (perhaps you skimmed it, which is not the same as reading it). Although of course I could be wrong. I just pointed out the points you made do not line up with the actual description of the Corruption Perception Index. I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt that you didn’t read the Wikipedia page in detail, rather than read it and instead decided to make unfounded claims about it. Your misreadings, like the suggestion that there was no methodology (which is actually described in the Wikipedia page, along with a citation) only underscore that assertion. Indeed taken at face value, posting a comment that the CPI has no defined methodology could be considered purposeful misinformation.

Your first comment was

> [the CPI] would be subject to the same bias the article discusses. Even when the British government gives away $24 billion dollars to people recommended by MPs and government officials, that isn't perceived as "corruption" in the same way.

You may say that it’s a “perception” of corruption, but since we’re talking about corruption it usually has to be, since if it were just out in the open, usually that’s not where most corruption lies.

Instead the CPI asks people who are effected by corruption their assessments.

For example, members of the African Development Bank were asked questions along the following lines:

“the extent to which the executive can be held accountable for its use of funds and the results of its actions by the electorate and by the legislature and judiciary, and the extent to which public employees within the executive are required to account for the use of resources, administrative decisions, and results obtained“

Asking people effected by corruption seems like a pretty effective way to gauge corruption. In fact in your MP example, you would definitely get people pointing out that the current “sleaze” is corruption on those criteria. In fact the CPI ranks the UK at number 11 with 77 out of 100, meaning that the surveys uncovered corruption. Again that goes against your initial comment that the CPI isn’t perceiving UK corruption.

And the reason the other person posted the CPI was to provide data pointing out how the article was biased based on some concrete evidence. If on the other hand, there is some concrete data about why the CPI is biased and over reports African corruption relative to UK, and how it does so, then that’s useful information. But hand-wavy “it’s all opinion” isn’t helpful or honest.

In the end there’s clearly some reason that most African nations rate poorly on the CPI. Trying to pretend it’s all bias, that the CPI levels of African and Middle eastern countries are low only because of survey bias, requires some significant proof. (Especially if taken in the context of everything that is known about the strength of law in those countries).

I have to think there's a lot of YAGNI going on, dependencies that are included to be a better version of native functionality. A faster JSON parser, say, with I dunno, 20 dependencies (a count which may further extend within those deps) for something where slow JSON parsing has not yet become an issue. I think there's a lot of "academic" inclusions out there like this.

Rather than whether pre-writing humans were poor thinkers, it feels easy to assume they struggled to build on past knowledge.

Also tbh for myself its hard to imagine a time pre-writing if we include all kinds of writing including pictography.

That they needed to continuously communicate knowledge in new ways and repeatedly to be able to build on previous knowledge. It can also highlight the importance of storytelling, fables, singing, etc.
