I was in the Bay Area when Comcast (finally) rolled it out; it wasn't that long ago; it might have been >5 years now, but definitely it was within the last 10.

Now I'm in the Boston MSA (a very rural place, I know /s); the ISP here, Verizon, does not offer IPv6. (They state they are "rolling it out", but this year will be the fifth anniversary of that.)

A corporation has deeper pockets and less awareness, so you can abuse it pretty far -- stealing triple your salary, obstructing a whole department to make your life easy. When a corporation abuses me they find there is only so much juice to squeeze, since I can't possibly produce more than twice as much as they pay me for.

I would be to differ. To me, there is a large difference between just ignoring 6 out of 7 questions I asked you or you telling me that you do not know the answer right now but will get back to me.

I agree that if there's no explicitly stated SLA and no implicit SLA given the relationship history between the two of us (e.g. I might know you're usually going to get back to me within 24 hours on such items), then this is practically the same.

I do not operate under such circumstances though. If I tell you that I will get back to you, then I will get back to you within a reasonable time frame and you will know from our previous interactions that I'm good for it in most cases and that it's totally OK for you to ask again after a day because I might have forgotten. I'm not perfect.

Since this was an example answer only, it is also possible that for one of your 7 questions the answer will simply be that I cannot get that answer to you within any reasonable amount of time at this point because of other priorities I have and that you should find someone else or I might point you towards someone else. In any case, you will have all of your 7 points answered. I won't just ignore them.

A few years ago I finished a one year demanding contract position I was paid well for. I decided to take some time off, bought a sportbike, and spent a year riding with motorcycle instructors on twisty mountain roads, spending a good 10 hours a day in the saddle, only not riding when my wife had the day off. When I finally got saddle sore, but much better off mentally, I began looking for a new job, and the first interviewer was shocked, shocked I tell you, that I would "just fuck off for a year". Glad I didn't get that gig I think. The next one hired me and put me to work the same day I interviewed.

As a libertarian I really like this title's framing, which is pointing out the rank power-hypocrisy that has permeated every level of our society. The ideas of individual liberty are so far removed from the most egregious victims of the authoritarian system, that talking about problems in an individualist framework simply doesn't resonate.

Even in HN threads, where for the most part commenters are not staring down the worst abuses on a day to day basis, talking about issues like unaccountable police in the language of individuality, accountability, and law and order is generally ignored. The carrying narrative is instead "more training", as if simply training criminals better is all we need to get them to stop committing crimes! And while I believe in more humane criminal justice approaches like rehabilitation, yet again it's the worst abusers of the system (criminal police) who get the kind understanding approach, while everyone else is subject to the cruel stick.

I'm certainly not advocating that libertarian approaches are applicable everywhere, especially when applied naively or pathologically (eg the Party). But we have way too much single-perspective thinking about problems in general, and individual freedom is a strong analysis framework for pointing out just how bad this hypocrisy has become.
I would be more surprised if they allowed for frequent believable audits that they don't.
That's something we're aware of, and something we've considered, but also potentially dangerous from a safety standpoint, due to Python's dynamic nature, and how much moving imports can affect runtime semantics. Any implementation of this would need to be aware of those dangers, and also be able to provide stable and predictable behavior. At the moment, it's not a huge priority given the availability of tooling to automatically add missing imports, or the limited impact of under-sorting in the context of notebooks.

My theory is that America needs to reverse some amount of globalization as its influence wanes. We’ll lose some of the cost benefits - it’s very cheap to source labor from third world countries - but we’ll gain from local production, perhaps meaning costs go up but wealth circulates more readily. Whether that’s a very inspiring idea, I can’t say.

But I’m unconvinced local politics are any better than national politics. We don’t seem to have any trouble traveling to Washington to protest.

Depends on what you define as educated. You can find people who are much more educated than oneself on a specific topic (or more), yet not as educated in other ways. People from a variety of professions participate in most groups.

Had a similar experience when I used rustfmt (which led me to trying black). I was used to formatters that over formatted, removing newlines used to dilineate sections of code, etc. I tried rustfmt when learning Rust because I figured id learn adopt standard practices.

It was revolutionary. I went from formatting as I went, even for prototyping to throwing code at my editor and letting rustfmt fix it. Big difference in productivity.
I wish you all the luck in the world with your search engine. But I can't help but think you may have missed the mark with your business model.

What people (myself included) seem to really object to most are privacy invading personalized ads. These don't just provide benign info, they are actively taking something that belongs to you --- your privacy.

The more benign alternative is context sensitive ads --- ads based on the topic at hand. If I search for "pet supplies", I can tolerate and maybe even appreciate a few ads for dog food and flea collars. This might be distracting for cat owners but this is something I think most would be willing to accept in exchange for the "free" service.

DuckDuckGo seems to be growing very nicely with context sensitive ads.

I took a graduate level class in quantum computation, geesh, must be 12-15 years ago now. Flipping through this, it's impressive how far the tooling has come. Back then we were doing a lot of this stuff by hand, demonstrating Shor's algorithm etc.

It's also pretty ambitious to teach this at an introductory level. We were doing this after a couple of years of quantum topics, QFT, quantum optics, that sort of thing; and it didn't feel like an entry level topic. But that may very well be how it was presented as well. The professor understood we knew our way around a pauli matrix and didn't shy away from notation that would otherwise would be terrifying.
Had the pleasure of experiencing that and much more, like having thousands of volts through my hand, at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. Highly recommended.

> convey meaning with subtle code style differences

Why? This is exactly why we need autoformatters :-) if you're on a team, you should be conveying meaning with variable names, comments, and structure. If it doesn't show up in the syntax tree, it doesn't have meaning. Consistency always wins because it elevates everyone's ability to read the code.

There's more to it than the social aspect though: putting effort into manually moving around characters in a text editor is not the best use of mental bandwidth. My experience (and that of many I know) is that formatters help you code faster with less bugs by letting you focus on the higher-level structure of the problem NOT on the minutiae of where each punctuation mark should live. If your code is syntactically correct, the autoformatter will make it look "right" and you don't have to think about consistent formatting at all. If it's not syntactically correct, you set your editor to autoformat on save and you get immediate feedback. So it's not just about consistency, it's also a productivity aid.

I understand having strong opinions about the "right" code style. Personally, I dislike the double quotes in black. So I type single quotes and let black do its thing on save. What I type does not need to be what I commit (so long as they both compile to the same AST)! I don't want to waste time debating formatting details in a PR, and I certainly don't want to interrupt my coding flow to manually perform the labor of shuffling ascii chars around when there is fully automated solution. I can't think of a single scenario where my personal style preference would outweigh the significant advantages I've seen from autoformatters.

Users create asymmetric keys in the browser (using the Web Crypto API that is implemented in browsers). We use 4096 bit RSA asymmetric encryption. The key pair is encrypted by the client before being stored on the server.

On a users upload page, the public key is used to encrypt the data client side, before upload.

A user who has received data then downloads the encrypted files, they are automatically decrypted in the browser using his/her private key and stored locally.

As all cryptographic operations are carried out client side, only the user who is the recipient can access the data.

This was a very brief description - let me know if you want more details!
That will depend on circumstances obviously ;)

I also never said that I will answer your questions right away. Just that I will answer all 7 of them once I do reply. The opportunity cost of looking at my email inbox might be way too high at a particular moment and so I might not even see your message for a full day to begin with. Same w/ a slack message. I might not see your particular message for some time or I might see it and decide that it's not a message I can deal with on the side while in a meeting and mark it for later consumption e.g. for when the meeting ends early etc.

FWIW I've so far never seen anyone try to 'use' my thoroughness to create a denial of service attack against me. If that ever did happen, I would definitely change my stance. But it won't be to answer the first question each time. It would be to stop talking to them. Like I ignore any "Hi, can I ask you a question?" messages. Even some directors have tried that and just gotten ignored (first time someone does it, I will let them know they can just ask away. Second time they get ignored until they learn).

The company I work for at the moment does a lot of work with k8s for government and enterprise, and several of my coworkers have home labs set up purely so they can test things across multiple specific versions of k8s, like upgrades, reproducing unusual bugs to figure out a solution for clients, etc.

Personally I don’t have the hardware to do that myself, and I’m thinking I’d making a change in jobs anyway, but I have been building up personal storage and backup devices for storing/serving media. Got two RAID0 (YOLO!) NAS devices, one as the primary and another as a backup target. Not quite a lab, but after losing everything I owned a few years ago, it takes a while to rebuild.

Another co worker has his home lab set up for VMware administration and testing across various versions and hardware configurations. It’s been a life saver for us too, since his knowledge was invaluable on a project back in October.

IPv6 has fc00::/7 (everything from fc00:: to fdff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff) as the equivalent to RFC1918 addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16). You can set some private v6 subnet in DHCPv6 and be happy (or do static assignments or whatever suits you).

Also, honestly, using IPv4 on LANs still makes sense no matter what trend the internet goes for.

A bit of arithmetic says that Joan Didion wrote this piece at 26 or 27. It may be the cantankerousness that sets in with age, but when you are eligible for Social Security it becomes odd to read the young writing such things.
