You’ll note I specially avoid any of the financial aspects of blockchain (market cap, etc). I really don’t want to open that can of worms.

Chains are difficult to compare popularity because of the anonymous nature and how “users” are considered. How do you translate transactions per day and active addresses into users? Almost all users have more than one address. Transfers from hot to cold storage for a single user count as a transaction and involve multiple addresses, as one example.

Bitcoin is 13 years old. Ethereum is seven years old. ENS is five years old. Yet I can’t go to Toyota.eth and learn about their new models or whatever like I could with toyota.com in 1995 (18 months after the web was released).

Note I use the Toyota.com example because when my sister and I first got the internet in rural Wisconsin in 1995/1996 we used to watch TV with a pencil and paper to look for the fine print at the bottom of the screen in hopes for a new web address to visit. Toyota.com was one I remember writing down (for some reason). We thought it was so neat you could see something on TV, type a few letters in the computer, and get “taken” right to it immediately.

Pick a handful of $bigcorps you can think of and hit the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. You’ll find out the vast majority of the Fortune 500 had a website up at a .com within a few years (archive starts in ‘96, I believe). Not to mention the millions of users that had been building websites on geocities and elsewhere since ‘95.

By 2006 the web had over 85 million websites. In 1998 (using five years of ENS) there were over 2 million (including Google). There are currently 247 thousand ENS owners. 13 year old platform. Five year old service. Once again a fraction of adoption when compared to the web over the same time span.

Don’t take this the wrong way but a leaderboard of celebrities with Twitter accounts that starts with Paris Hilton isn’t going to change any minds on the credibility of the platform. Rather the opposite. Frankly anyone who thinks Paris Hilton being the leading proponent of a five year old technology platform is a good thing is either desperate or delusional.

It validates the huckster hype perspective. She was on late night TV recently in a very awkward “interview” promoting NFTs. Many have commented it resembled a video one might see released by someone in a hostage situation reading a propaganda statement [1][2][3].

In any case I’d be more interested to see an analysis of those top accounts and what percentage are actively selling NFTs or any other crypto-something. I’m betting it’s extremely high. Otherwise, there's always the Fyre Fest angle where most celebrities will sell anything with no due diligence or scruples whatsoever as long as the check (in fiat, of course) clears.

ENS is not boring - having an ENS address is a marketing tool to the cryptosphere for whatever you’re trying to sell them. This is one area where it’s identical to DNS.

I'd go with OP too. Dominos was our best bet circa 2007-10.
Not disputing you. Just wanna look at the point on 6000 years for evolution. 6000 years likely has 200 generations or more. Is 200 gen not significant enough to evolutionary changes?

On the other hand, I used to trawl through all of the pages Google would let me go through, and regularly found what I was looking for back there, mixed in with the usual SEO spam. Now the first page is awful, and the rest of the pages are entirely SEO spam.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that phone ordering is the best method, and I use it myself most of the time. It's always been the best method except during the busiest takeout periods at the busiest restaurants.

I just wanted to point out one nitpick, when you mentioned this: "Even if you're deaf or blind, you can order pizza over the phone without issue."

That is true, but that doesn't mean that online ordering systems cannot help people with disabilities. My brother does not have to live alone, but if he did, he is mute and has trouble using a speaking device. An app would be far easier for him than a phone call. In other words, accessibility requires both systems, not one or the other.

Had many of the same experiences, though thank heavens I did not wind up with tinnitus.

Being unsafe in your own house and your own school and your own neighborhood is almost unimaginably difficult. No place to go, no money , no lockable closets or neighbors houses or school programs. I remember it all like it was this afternoon even though it was 50 years ago.

When I was age 11 I decided I would try to survive so I could get the fuck out of my neighborhood and never come back. That was the one counterbalance to my suicidal thoughts that persisted until I was 15. I’m also a college dropout but was able to teach myself programming and to bootstrap a good life.

And the tinnitus. Fuck. It is hard for other people to understand what you’re going through with the chronic conditions, but they just sap the interest in living like nothing else.

My heart is with you, brother.

You're still confusing unrelated topics in the field.

> However, this may enable two disconnected IPv4 networks to communicate via IPv6, if they are both announced at ipv6 network.

If they share an IPv6 network, they can communicate over IPv6. If they are truly disconnected from each other with IPv4, they cannot in any way communicate over IPv4, this includes using, for example, "::ffff:192.168.1.1" as an address.

> For example, my notebook is behind IPv4 NAT, but bots were able to scan and try to log into my SSH via IPv6 (miredo).

This has nothing to do with IPv4 encapsulating in an IPv6 stack. Instead, you've configured your host to have a public IPv6 address by way of using proxy servers to provide bidirectional communication. If you don't want this, stop using miredo.

> people don't want to expose internal networks to the public

Well, stop doing it. Stop running miredo if you don't want that behavior. Install firewalls and policies to block incoming traffic.

IPv6 doesn't magically transform your NAT'd IPv4 network into a public free-for-all space. You really have to work at opening up that possibility yourself (such as by installing/using miredo). IPv6 cannot in any way bypass a NAT and reach IPv4 hosts directly behind them. Encapsulated IPv4 packets in IPv6 are translated at some point along the chain (typically the computer running the application using an ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 address) into the native IPv4 networking world where the packets are handled as if the application used an IPv4 address directly. The encapsulated addresses are primarily a convenience factor, nothing else, and no security implications.

(I sort of think you are also thinking of 6to4 and/or NAT64 in this discussion, which can punch a hole through your NAT in the way you are describing. If you don't want this, don't do this!)

"I tried to meet new people at hobbies and dance lessons, but guess what - they're all full of lonely developers and other socially awkward people - short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands, etc."

Gee, I'm just shocked that you're having a difficult time making friends. Who wouldn't want to be friends with judgemental folks?

There isn't anything to mention that you don't know already. There is no quick fix. Find a hobby like sports or music etc and meet people through that, or do other sorts of meetups. But the problem here is your attitude, not the people. Don't take your frustrations out on other people, it's not cool.
> You’re saying that someone getting a 33% raise won’t be affected by the extra money. This is absurd for people who are making a good professional income.

Nothing absurd about it. If you're making 300K, going up to 400K doesn't move the needle much. At that level you're already covering all your bills, paying for those vacations and investments and private school.

50K extra in pocket is nice, but nowhere enough at that level to change your life in an observable way. It's nowhere enough to move you into FU Money territory and since you were already covering all the basics, it doesn't move change much on that front either.

If I had kids (and I do), there's no way I would accept a 100K pre-tax raise if the tradeoff is having to spend a lot more time on the road away from home (as the example at the top of this thread stated).
Exactly what I found so bizarre.

> Approximately 50% of devices not on a serviced build of Windows 10 do not meet the minimum Update Connectivity measurement.

> Approximately 25% of Windows 10 devices on a serviced build but have security updates that are more than 60 days out of date have less than the minimum Update Connectivity.

Are these numbers not huge?

Obviously somebody should have made certain since the beginning that previous connectivity status should not come close to becoming a show-stopper if updates are to be considered important.

"When troubleshooting update issues, we have found it is best to select devices that have sufficient Update Connectivity," Guyer added.

Wait a minute aren't the other users the ones that need the troubleshooting more than anyone else?

And Microsoft is nowhere near being able to help users having the easier-to-solve problem yet either?

"If a device has insufficient Update Connectivity, then investigating other update issues is complicated because the low Update Connectivity can create new issues that go away once there's enough connectivity."

It's not too late to fix this with proper engineering, these issues which are not supposed to be there are exactly what need to go away regardless of total connection hours.
Unfortunately my school was closed due to COVID. And it was one of those that couldn’t weather the time closed. I’m going to pick it back up, and go into it realizing that Fred Astaire I ain’t :)
Pretty much every study ever has found a correlation of more fruits = healthier. That majority of studies just group fruits and vegetables together because they basically have the same effect as vegetables in terms of above correlation.

Fruit juices however, totally worthless, just as bad as sugar.
CouchDB has a javascript client called PouchDB that can do multi-"master" replication and streaming. I wouldn't use it as a primary database, but the syncing story is pretty much top notch.

I do occasionally still fire up IDEA to use the debugger or other tools, but rarely.

As for renaming methods/variables, for the latter, scope will almost always be small, so rename is usually trivial. For methods, it's almost always easy enough to rename, rebuild, then fix the errors.

I also typically use Vim for C programing, though there I often use cscope and/or ctags to somewhat smooth out navigation.

Again, I do not have a problem with good IDEs, and still occasionally use them. I just don't feel a need for them, and often prefer working in a plain editor.
You have no actual points. Everything that you have listed so far is pure conjecture, not hard evidence.
Will this break 500 comments? A thousand? Good luck, mate.

Yeah, one definitely both wants to grow up and not lose the smiles in the photos of when we were young. I feel you.

What you've described sounds like a spiritual crisis, but I couldn't counsel you through that without knowing you better. I will say this, your world has changed, and that is loss, and loss has to be mourned before you move on to the new season. So give yourself some grace if you're upset with yourself for being upset—no, being upset is natural, it's grief and you can't control it into oblivion.

Chasing a different profession with the idea that that somehow going to make things better is very risky. Could work out, but a lot of girls dump the old abusive boyfriend and find a new abusive boyfriend... You want to make sure you understand why you were attracted to the problem case before you go find another problem case, yes? If you feel like you have adequately done that soul searching, then yeah, follow your gut. But the gut definitely has a bias to retreading the same mistakes again and again, you have to compensate for that bias.

The biggest thing that I will say is, you can't be living as if you'll get everything in order today and start your actual life tomorrow. If you do that you will never recover those looks from the photos from when we were young. This is it: that is your first axiom. It may be weird for a religious person to be telling you that, hah... but even we have the problem, as Hillel’s poem goes, ‘... don't say “I’ll study when I am free” / for maybe you will never be!’

Good luck recovering that brightness of youth. If you are looking for interests, might I suggest binging some podcasts or Teaching Company courses or audiobooks or so, find something that catches your interest there and build up from that initial connection?
We both clearly agree about the marginal utility of money. And I think we both agree this doesn’t seem to be going anywhere useful.

Take care and enjoy the weekend.
They remind me of “Swedish Pancakes” which are kind of in-between an American pancake and a crepe.

No idea if they are actually Swedish but you can buy Lund’s Swedish pancake mix in the US and you get something similar

If Apple is adding back doors willy nilly why would they execute a parallel marketing campaign centered on privacy at the same time? The more likely reality is that are extremely upset this is happening and being publicized. My personal take is it would be impossible to add back doors to Apple products without whistle blowing. Why does everything have to be a conspiracy these days?
Wait until you hear about flapjacks.
I was wrong and stand corrected: it is not a threat.

What Young said is more of an opening offer of a quid pro quo.

The overall point I was making stands, that freedom of speech (both the legal protection and the ethical principle) does not extend to coercive speech like it does to persuasive and expressive speech.

If some artist simply said, "Take my music off of Spotify because I have no confidence in the platform," then that would clearly be fully protected. If another said, "Spotify has until Feb 1 to remove Joe Rogan, or I'm pulling my catalog until they do," I think that'd be a lot more risky, especially if the artist had prominence.
I've made more friends in my 30s than I have in any decade prior, surprisingly.

How? Through Yoga.

Making friends was not my goal whatsoever. Just started practising daily a few years ago because it spoke to me.

Found a good studio (one that teaches real yoga and not just aerobics) and started helping out there for free (in exchange for unlimited classes). I met a lot of the teachers and managers that way.

After about a year or so you start to recognize a lot of faces... and it turns out that a lot of people who regularly go to yoga classes (where they constantly talk about being kind to yourself, others, and the planet) are incredible people.

I have met some real assholes too, don't get me wrong. You just disregard them and carry on.

I am sure this is possible with anything that's open to the public and encourages daily participation, like religion or fitness centers, etc.

However, I spent years attending a fitness gym prior to this and never met a single decent human being I would want to spend time with. Most of the "friends" I used to go to the gym with I don't even talk to anymore.

Yoga classes around me have been canceled/in lockdown for the past few months, but I still talk to my yoga buddies and go for walks with them almost every single day.

It's great! I encourage you to give it a shot!
> Touting therapy as incredible effective is at least a little dishonest. I know very many people who saw no benefit from it despite great expense.

When someone recommends therapy, just treat it like you would any other recommendation that doesn’t need to trigger a “that doesn’t apply universally!” response. Nobody is forcing anyone to do therapy. Many people find it helpful. Many people don’t. Still quite reasonable for GP to say “therapy helps” with an implied “in my opinion.”
The easy fix (IMO) is to go to Ukraine (easiest for US citizens), work from this location for a bit, and start attending parties/events/etc, and start talking to strangers on the streets. You'll be surprised how many male/female friends you can make in one week, and how much is going on. People are extremely friendly to English-speaking folks. I'd recommend Kiev, but I imagine Lviv is the greatest place as well.
How I got my first freelancing project!
Tips to prepare yourself before setting up your gig and how to achieve long-term clients!

Note: This post is especially for beginners who are struggling to earn their first dollar as a freelancer.

Things To Be Taken Care Before Entering To Freelancing World

Default requirement as always: Be focused and achieve good knowledge about what you are going to deliver to the client. How do I do that?. No worries, we will discuss it below.

Be active on community forums. (I have subscribed to django user groups and have been continuously reading emails coming to the group in my initial time) This literally helped me to understand the problems faced by other developers. Now a days Discord is one of the best tool getting popular for these.

Focus on a single skill while submitting a proposal for a project (Initially I was focusing only on Python/Django projects) as i was experienced in creating web applications using python and django framework.

Use Github to showcase your expertise, and how much you are passionate about what you are doing. Create some sample applications and start contributing to open source projects regularly. Contributing to open source will surely increase your knowledge and network.

Be active on stackoverflow.com, Earn reputations by asking and answering questions. Literally I was filtering the tags #django and #python on stackoverflow.com and kept on refreshing the browser to answer the next immediate question. It really helped me to increase my knowledge as a developer.

Submit your proposal with less price/no cost. Initially focus only on good reviews from clients; money will follow you once you start delivering quality work.

Be ready to spend a few hours a day continuously and submit your proposal immediately when it gets listed on the platform. As a beginner, I was spending hours on Upwork to get my first project.

Always include your Github and stackoverflow.com profile while submitting the project proposal. This actually increased my chances of getting the project.

Special Tricks For Beginners:

Try to apply for projects listed on new freelancing platforms, as there will be less competitors while applying for a project.

Always ask the customer to provide some reviews after successfully delivering the project, but don't force them.

Make sure to switch on the notification on mobile/web and reply to messages whenever client asks something. Delaying reply, may lose your chance.

Finally, the important one is, whenever you learn new skills, showcase it always. Github is one of the best place.

How To Achieve A Long Term Client:

Being irreplaceable is the best strategy to follow while working on a project.

Put all your valuable time into understanding the project.

Don't leave your client because of the complexity of work.

Follow these steps, clients will face difficulty in finding you a replacement and as an outcome you'll surely earn a long term client.
Well put. I’ve been shocked by the elitist attitude by many commenter who don’t see the issue IPv6 has for _most_ non-IT professionals.

Facts are these: IPv6 is a failure; it didn’t provide a way to conexist with IPv4 [1] and it did _not_ have a _compelling_ benefit to most people. The benefits cited makes no difference to most.

Many years ago I used to be really conscious of my hearing aids - badly so. A few years before I got my cochlear implant I ingested six tabs of LSD and a friend drove me around all night (still one of my best friends to this day, we met in intermediate) and he just let me chill and have those amazing "mind blown" moments.

One moment that I'll remember forever was the fact that nobody cares if you're deaf, or have hearing aids. In fact, maybe that's why people are so rude (because I've missed what they said - take a checkout operator at the supermarket asking me how my day is going and I don't reply ) so the very next day I got a #1 haircut, went to a hardware store and the guy I asked for help saw my hearing aids and instantly perked up and was super happy to help me - but he was shaking quite a bit (anxious perhaps?) I still often come across someone who gets nervous when talking to me!!

It was a really great way to fix those terrible misconceptions I had of myself.
