Did I miss the hacker news post where “git has already shown its weakness.” ? Someone help me out here.
v6 actually has longer headers on average (40B instead of 20B) but is generally more efficient to process because it's a fixed header length.

ON the other hand, theoretically IPv4 header length could vary depending on the presence of IP options, so you'd need to compute the offset to continue processing the packet.

(I say theoretically because conventional wisdom is that IP options are unreliable in the face of middleboxes, so they're mostly unused. But compliant IPv4 processors have to calculate the header size anyways...)
This is actual experience from multiple projects. Ideally starting from a blank machine/VM you should be able to run a single script that get’s the latest, builds it locally, runs it successfully, and passes all tests.

Git may or may not be part of that process.
Yes, I was wrong.

I think the Championship (the one below the premier league) is a lot more fun and local. The problem with european professional football is that it is rapidly losing its identity. The oligarch owned teams have players from all over he world and the location of the home stadiums are increasingly meaningless.

Coventry City came close to promotion to the prem last season but I actually dread to think if they would survive a first season despite the huge money involved and how the team's local identity might change...

because maintaining state for GCNAT tables is far more complex then just forwarding packets. routers doing NAT are thus more expensive then those just doing simple forwarding.

Also, in some countries ISP's need to map the use of a specific ip address to a specific subscriber for law enforcment purposes. GCNAT is no exception to this and creates a large amount of overhead because the public IPV4 prefix space is shared between multiple customers.

This is an enormously different claim from "deliberately allows the car to drive into oncoming traffic". It's also tautological given the intended operating mode of Tesla. I've heard this line plenty from all manner of Tesla fanatics, but it's deeply dishonest sophistry that doesn't at all address the actual complaint.

Which is: the Tesla's display and motion were erratic and incorrect enough that even a reasonably-attentive driver would easily end up putting himself and others in danger.

You can argue the merits of whether this should be allowed. There's reasonable disagreement on whether this is feasible in general, or at scale. And further disagreement about whether "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" should apply to endangering the lives of other road users. But please don't flatly lie about what's happening in the video by describing it as "deliberately allowing the vehicle to head into oncoming traffic" when it's extremely clear from the video that he was unaware it doing so, in large part due to the absurdly erratic performance of the system on that turn.
I was looking at this recently and it’s interesting. But a couple of points.

Webpack 5 is actually pretty easy to configure these days. I have a use case of supporting angularjs with web workers, service worker (full PWA - it’s a POS that is built to handle low bandwidth, intermittent connections etc while still providing 90% of functionality in offline mode - lots of indexeddb, local storage and service worker magic) and typescript.

It handles it all like magic. The workers are in typescript and yet they “just work” with shared imports (indexeddb wrapper mostly). Service workers get all your /dist resources added and you can still add any custom code you need - which I do.

Also you can use esbuild with webpack (there’s a plug-in of course)

I was dreading using webpack bc my last experience with it in 2015 was not great, but wow, it’s really powerful and actually easy to work with.

Also using it for an electron side project and it’s also great there.

I have to say, parcel and a lot I’d other bundlers just can’t do what webpack handles almost effortlessly.

YMMV of course but webpack 5 is worth a look if you haven’t used it lately.
OP argued guns are responsible for high US homicide rates by attempting to rule out another salient difference, namely economic development.

But it’s wrong to assume that economic development is the only, or even a particularly salient difference. Asia has much lower homicide rates than Latin America, despite Asia being poorer and both having strict gun control. Similarly, the US had ten times the homicide rate of the UK even in 1900, long before significant British gun control.

The point is that comparisons with Europe and Asia overlook that the US is more like Latin America in many regards, as a post-colonial, post-slavery, low-social-trust immigrant society, than it is like other “developed countries.”

Put differently, people wave away comparisons between the US and Latin America (which also has strict gun control) on the assumption that high homicides there are caused by poverty. But Latin America is mostly middle income countries. Yet their homicide rates are vastly higher than poorer Asian countries. (Puerto Rico has the same GDP per capita as Spain, is an island with strict gun control, and has a homicide rate ten times higher than Spain.)

What is the cost difference? It is conspicuous that the article does not mention cost at all.
SPACs are, in practice, a Hail Mary for companies with little hope of ever going public the traditional way because they’re just not that attractive to real investors. Therefore, if a company goes public via a SPAC, you should assume they’re in a very weak position. So, while you could conceivably sue (and perhaps get a settlement out of them) it’s going to be a pretty poor outcome for you even in the best case scenario.

If you look at buzzfeed for example (if I had to guess, that’s the company you’re with) they’re basically circling the drain and the SPAC was a last ditch effort: if the burned employees of buzzfeed sue them, where’s the money going to come from? Buzzfeed can barely keep the lights on.

If they’re offering to work on contingency, go for it, nothing to lose, but don’t pin your hopes on seeing anything close to your unrealised gains.

If you’re not with buzzfeed, read pieces like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/25/business/media/buzzfeed-e...
I did it before because I assumed it was causing issues and not configuring things on my network properly.

I was wrong and the issues were elsewhere, but it remained disabled on the router for a long time.

I’m generally a person who resists change and I can’t tangibly see the benefits of ipv6; until I realised that “port-forwarding” is an exclusively NAT problem and it’s much easier with ipv6 to just natively open a port on the firewall if I want.

Yes at my router for privacy. No nat means no source device obfuscation
Selective here means it adds a single OH (alcohol group) to methane and not two, there, four.

If you keep adding alcohols (otherwise known as oxidation), you would end up with CO2 and waters - the same as burning methane.

Yes, there could be. But in the end, those are just parameters of the specific networks/services that make up the internet.
Considering that routing is not deterministic, you could get vastly different characteristics from point A to point B across the internet at specific times anyways.

I like the quote from the movie Heat: “He knew the risks, he didn’t have to be there. It rains you get wet.”

SPACs are a high risk way of going public and nothing is guaranteed.

You could certainly sue, it might takes years and money from your pocket to get a judgement you’ll never collect a dime on, but yeah, you can sue.

"Algebraist" by Ian Banks is about human exploring a civilization that lives orders of magnitude slower than us. For them universe is easy to colonize because they live so slow that interstellar travel is fast.

We have things on Earth that live very slowly or pause metabolism altogether for long periods of time. It's not a big stretch to imagine a civilization that can do this (and started very early in universe age) that colonized a lot of universe despite speed of light constraint.

> - Do the technically-savvy folks on this list think that a heuristic approach (i.e. a bunch of rules written by humans) could ever succeed at effective self driving in diverse conditions? Or is the machine learning + massive data approach more likely to solve it?

The only solution that sounds plausible to me is a hybrid approach.

Much like when building a car you can make the engine as complex as you like - but you keep things simple with the brakes. Aircraft autopilots sometimes have three separate processors, programmed by three separate teams.

In a self-driving car, I'd expect a heavily audited core of code to take care of not hitting clearly visible stationary objects like concrete barriers and fire trucks even if other parts of the system relied heavily on ML.

> Or do you consider it fundamentally unsolveable?

I think self-driving vehicles will trade off some types of accidents for others.

For example, you see a running child who disappears behind a truck, then a ball rolls out into the road? A skilled, attentive driver would anticipate that the kid might run into the road. But that needs fairly detailed scene understanding. Accidents like that might increase.

On the other hand, a lot of accidents are due to lack of attention - and a machine can provide consistent vigilance. So accidents arising due to drowsiness and drivers fiddling with the radio could be expected to decrease.
I don't know what was in their mind, but my guess is that it's due to automotive HVAC systems using flexible hoses rather than hard piping like stationary HVAC. The consequence of this is that those hoses aren't /truly/ impermeable, and it's commonplace for a vehicle HVAC system to need to be recharged after about 10 years of service life even with no "leaks". So, pretty much all gas going into the system will eventually end up in the atmosphere over time.
This. As someone who's hung back and not switched to the hot new thing in frontend - I've learned the "old" stuff seems to mature and tends to get better. Look at React, CRA, or Redux Toolkit - they're all so much better (performant, more concise) than the original few releases now!
also, ipv4 address space is becoming intrenched by large players because address pricing is becoming very expensive.

This is a good point if we were selling physical goods and limited by the amount of information we can convey on a screen but we aren't.

I'd honestly include things like the what and why as critical to documentation. Most libraries, tools, and tech in general are bad at documentation. It's an active choice to omit discussing these things when they should obviously be included but writing good copy is hard.

IDK seems like a good thing to invest in especially if you want your tool to become a dominate player instead of an encroaching tangent.

While there are separate pages for the why and comparisons for vite (but it's only comparing itself to other bleeding edge tools rather than popular ones like webpack, browserify, gulp, grunt) they should be snippets of these sections on the front page. Right now there are 6 title cards of with wasted space with very little information. Compare this with playwright's home page you and immediately know why you want to use the tool:

For a personal taste thing, I'm not really a fan of these open source tools creating homepages similar to as you would see for various startups/products. My mind immediately goes "oh paid tool, oh well." They do say it's free in a lovely medium size text that doesn't standout much and is beyond the fold.
I guess if it was possible to make it with common dust, they would have been discovered for long with random trial alchemist experiments, and so wouldn't look so amazingly uncommon?

To answer your ?s and speak to your comment:

- Short answer: Probably never. The 3Ps theory is well established in academic masculinist studies. A good overview of the 3Ps comes from Gilmore's 1991 book Manhood in the Making: Cultural Concepts of Masculinity if you want to learn more. Very briefly, all males conform to these Ps to participate in male honor. Yes, many males do not, but they are then without honor, and therefore considered not 'real' men in their culture. Honor is redefined here to encompass more than just the classical concept and is more a pan-male term, it gets a bit wonky. Man is also generally defined as 'not a boy', not 'not a woman'(sorry for all the nots here). The book does a much better job at introducing the ideas than a little HN comment could. In the end, I fail to see how any generation is going to escape ~200,000 years of human history. I could be very very wrong though!

https://www.amazon.com/Manhood-Making-Cultural-Concepts-Masc...

- It's not caveman, it's a theory of how men work in their culture and in almost all cultures we know of (the book goes into the exceptions and how they 'prove the rule' essentially). In the culture of Texas, 'real men' possess these three Ps, or at least have 2 Ps in above average amounts. HN isn't the best place to really dive into it, as most of the men here have above average Provider traits due to the income from tech jobs. It kinda blinds them to men that have to rely on the Protector and Procreator roles for their honor. I want to stress, Provider is not just income.

OP being a selector, and not a selectee, changes the equation a lot, of course. However, understanding the psychology of the men she is dating and their need of the 3Ps may help her address why her strategy is failing. Fluffing up the Protector role, or choosing men that have a lot of strengths in that role, may lead to more success.

Ask HN: I'm feeling lost and don't know what route to take on my career/life
Hello everyone, I’ve been a HN reader for a long time and this is my first time posting here.

I’m currently doing my thesis for a CS degree about to graduate, but I don’t have internship or work experience any other than the work on my university courses.

I would appreciate any suggestions to prepare for the HR, behavioral and technical interviews and how all of the interview process works. Should I grind Leetcode or specialize in a specific framework?

I also get lost when I start searching for a job since all of them ask for a lot of qualifications that I don’t feel prepared for, hence I feel like I have to prepare and prepare but never actually apply for any job since I'm stuck in this "preparing loop" where I don't have a path to follow. I’m lost and not sure what to do or where to start.

Lastly, for economic reasons, I have a part time job (~30 hours a week) which is hard work and not tech related at all, which also makes me think about on what to spend my time on, whether to focus on my thesis, or preparing for interviews, or both? I've even considered getting a job as a help desk or something since my current job is very exhausting working under the heat, but again, I don't know what keywords to use when searching for a job. I don't have any contacts since I'm a (legal) immigrant and recently moved here (USA). I'd appreciate any advise for this.

Can highly recommend this article. I wrote a small chess engine for fun, mostly during a long plane flight back in 2018 when I had no internet access.

My process for writing the engine followed almost exactly the series of steps laid out in this article. The key improvement that I made was to add quiescence search with null move pruning. After I added that, it became quite tricky to beat (for my ~1450 lichess rated self). It definitely results in an engine that is extremely greedy, and almost anti-positional, but very tricky to prove wrong.
