What fearmongering? There were a bunch of articles about how we were going to run out of IPv4 addresses, and we have now essentially run out of IPv4 addresses. There's a reason everyone is being a dynamic IP address and hosting servers is hard these days.
> What is the benefit of a 50 year mortgage from both sides?

For the lender the benefit is a much larger total amount of interest paid by the borrower over the life of the mortgage.

https://www.calculator.net/mortgage-calculator.html

1) $100,000 mortgage for 30 years at 5% staring July 2022 (with no taxes/insurance/PMI/HOA/other costs [1]) = $93,255.78 total interest paid over life of mortgage

2) Same as #1 except for 50 years = $172,483.26 total interest paid over life of mortgage ($79,227.48 more than #1 above)

For the borrower, the /benefit/ is a lower monthly payment.

Option #1 above -- monthly payment of 536.82

Option #2 above -- monthly payment of 454.14 (82.68 less per month than #1)

[1] leaving out taxes/insurance/etc. is unrealistic, but the question was what was the benefit of 50 vs some other length, omitting these items shows only the difference due to the change in length.
I mostly attribute it to the fact that I started out the streak reading LOTR, which was really good and kept me going long enough for the streak to start to look substantial (a couple months IIRC.) Then I didn’t want to lose it so I kept picking up other books.
"IPv6 has had privacy built in for years now, on every OS available. Your inbound address will remain static and possible MAC address derived, but unless you're hosting anything on it (or disabled your firewall) your network traffic will be perfectly private."

I've tested with IPv6 on and off on several machines over the course of months. Google's search results become wild and unpredictable on the same machines soon after switching to IPv4.

My theory is that they rely on that IPv6 address to know exactly who they are providing results to and thus selling to.

If that theory didn't hold water, there would be exactly zero difference in search results after switching to all IPv4.
Almost all the comments are from those who have tried it. (And most people apparently love it).

Why?

Because it never tells you what it does. It’s “front end tooling” which could be anything from a new JS target language to a framework to something else.

The features don’t help: it’s fast. That could apply to anything.

It’s only when they talk about the alternatives like ESBuild and webpack that I get a sense of what it does. That’s several clicks in to figure it out.

Please put what the thing does front and center.
That's great you're feeling better as you're older!

Though that last comment at 'balding' men -- do you consider that fair? Balding men didn't choose their genetics, nor did they do anything specific to become bald. And, outside of surgery, they can't stop being bald. Are you maybe saying these men need to shave their heads and commit to their fate, to stop 'balding' and just 'be bald'?

It is fair to call them overweight though, that is obviously 99% in their control.

> The Tori and Conservative parties in England did not just oppose state welfare. They often opposed industrialization as it was the foundation of their opponents' power and it creates potential for shifts in the roles of individuals in society.

I was of the opinion that British conservatives at the time viewed state welfare as a form of noblesse oblige. Burke and Disraeli both argued for a paternalistic state in which every man was made to serve others for the sake of Empire, Church, and State.
The whole removal of nat and directly connecting to the destination with the source address seems like a privacy and security nightmare.. imo..

The security extension thing seems a bit wack. I'd still like all my traffic to originate from a single source and be tagged with that address only. This possible?
Ask HN: How meticulously do you keep track of your money?
Interesting. Had to look it up. Wikipedia:

Gravity's Rainbow is a 1973 novel by American writer Thomas Pynchon. The narrative is set primarily in Europe at the end of World War II and centers on the design, production and dispatch of V-2 rockets by the German military.

Can you put in words what makes you choose it as a book to re-read yearly?
If it's a popular artist, they're paying for the rights to perform and/or record those songs. I helped a band that isn't even popular, nor signed to a label, but they wanted to post their cover to youtube and they ended up paying a popular 90's band for the rights to do the cover.

Yes. Just like Disney did with its animated movies: many of those are based on old European tales or on works that had entered public domain.
You're essentially right. It's not the job of the corporation to act morally. The job to create a moral framework under which corporations operate is the nation's.

Unfortunately, corporations have been successfully lobbying on removing constraints on what they are doing and against adding new ones.
After that dosage (wasn't my first try, BTW), I felt really well, the trip was very good, I felt light, I managed to deal with a lot of inner problems I have been carrying since kid.

But I was unable to sleep. I stayed awake for 3 days in a row, then I completely lost my mind, I was mixing reality with fantasy. My wife took me to emergency were I was given antipsychotics which broke that state and I was able to sleep.

But for the next weeks I had crying episodes out of nowhere and they gave me a higher AP dosages.

Slowly I was able to stabilize, but it took me months. The AP side effects were also awful.

Did the mushroom trip did this? Probably not, but it trigger the sleep deprivation which chain-reacted to something worse.
An experiment I like better:

- Gain research access to the Windows source code. (This isn't hard)

- Train an ML model on the Windows source code

- Release said model, so that anyone can recreate Windows source files

It's not clear what happens next, but hilarity ensues.
Banks aren’t going to keep 50 year fixed mortgages on their books, unless they are like 8+%. British and European people expect mortgage rates closer to 0-2%. Only government can finance that (with pseudo tax in the form of mortgage interest).

Ask HN: Sue after poorly managed SPAC?
I’m a former employee of a company which recently went public through a SPAC. I had no lockup but communication from the company and setup were extremely poor so I was not able to sell my stock immediately. Accounts weren’t set up in advance. Tax info wasn’t in accounts. It was impossible to sell in the first week for everyone. Most people didn’t get access to shares for weeks. The price went down significantly in that time. Should I sue for some sort of damages? Maybe negligence or fiduciary duty? (Could have even been intentionally but I have no proof.)

Should we sue as a class or individuals? One law firm is interested in the case if class damages are over $10M (they are). My damages are ~$1M which seems to be on the bubble for suing as an individual. Either way, I’m not sure the potential downsides. From past examples I assume the company will make the case very hard for us and try to bleed us dry. Seems like it could also have negative career implications.
In reply to ConstantVigil, who's reply got flagged/dead almost instantly.

>The basis of all creation in regards to humanities progress all starts with the beginnings of a hope or dream...

I agree, this is absolutely true, that's why I said it's so important. The fact is though that only a minuscule tiny fraction of the things ever imagined actually turn out to be true. In fact most of the time we have to be smacked repeatedly in the face by reality before we get it through our skulls that the way we imagine things are isn't the case. I'm all for keeping an open mind.

However imagining things we'd like to be true, and then constructing spurious justifications for think they are probable in the absence of any reason or evidence, is not keeping an open mind. It's the exact opposite.
NPM download stats paint a more accurate picture. I didn't include jQuery because it's not a framework. (React calls itself a view library, but it's definitely a framework.)
I suppose you could look at annual revenue for Mickey Mouse branded products and that would give you a baseline. Mickey surely drives interest in other Disney products so that's why the primary sales are only a baseline.

Having used both QuickJS and Duktape, I have to say that QuickJS is a lot better. Mostly because it's faster and has newer language features. QuickJS has full support for ES2020, whereas Duktape is on ES2015. I guess Duktape is a little smaller, but that's the only advantage I found.
I have a weak spot for S-exprs and tend to use them when nobody will be looking.

If your PDF files have the same MD5 checksum but "diff" shows differences then this is an MD5 collision.

Maybe it's a trivial thing, eg. your 3 files got resynchronized right between running rsync and running diff. So you should have retried rsync after the diff.

Or you obtained these PDFs from a source that purports to demonstrate MD5 collisions. Or someone is attacking you by replacing your files. Or, more likely, this is user error, and you are not reporting to us what's happening exactly.

You can always do a diff on a hex dump of the PDF content and see with your own eyes what part of the PDF is actually different. It's not that hard to interpret the format and know which PDF structure changed. You can run "qpdf --qfd input.pdf" on both versions and this uncompress all structures to make the internal content human readable (besides images).

It is not superfluous noise. It is js sadly.

Js is an ever changing mass of stuff. I feel bad for frontend guys for this reason. Always writing for a language that does not even exist... always changing how you shove it all together.

Even worse as soon as you put a foot down and pick something you are behind.

It is exhausting even to watch much less to be in it.

> I've become a huge proponent of where you can [...] using the same os to develop that you deploy in.

In my case that would be some sort of Linux targeting servers. Individual Linuxes are pretty different in important ways, so it probably would have to be the exact same flavor. I've seen my colleagues spend a lot of time fighting even the Linuxes that target laptops to get basic things like USB-C, sleep, battery life, docking stations and projectors to work well, which I've read on HN were all solved about five years ago, but I still see colleagues fighting Linux quirks, so I guess a laptop running RHEL will be a terrible hassle.

I would also have had to switch my OS every time I've changed employers (sometimes when changing teams), and I'd lose the accumulated muscle memory of over a decade on macOS, plus all of the platform specific tooling, plus the full Microsoft Office suite to interface with the non-tech part of the company.

I just try to deliver everything I build as a docker image, that way I get pretty decent isolation from the particularities of the host OS and it's pretty easy to test locally under conditions very close to prod. I've switched to a M1 Pro notebook earlier this year and apart from having to specify the arch when running some docker images, I've hardly noticed a change, though I don't develop Linux or Windows desktop software (hence, no X or the like needed).
The basic answer is that nobody knows. I've been asking this question since I was a very young kid when I saw a magnet for the first time and many, many decades later I still have not found a satisfactory answer - nor anyone who can convincingly answer the question!

Physicists are forever talking about the beauty of the Standard Model of particle physics and how it can be explained in terms of QFT - Quantum Field Theory and so on but at the most basic level they still don't know what's actually in that field 'stuff' that 'glues' your fridge magnets to your fridge.

Have you noticed how this subject is so often avoided by physicists? Similarly, they also avoid the question 'what exactly is 'inside' a force that makes it do things?'.

Edit: several years ago Nobel prize winner Frank Wilczek was asked by New Scientist magazine what a field was and the best answer he could come up with was that it is a kind of matrix. At the time I thought this was a totally unsatisfactory answer.
We had all these discussion years ago. The flames are from the "consensus / conclusions" from those debates; people have Received Wisdom and must push it to others or defend it.
Going back to first principles and asking "should we be doing this?" is gonna draw ire from all sides: you're implicitly questioning the conclusion people have already adopted and invested emotion into.

Here's one for "Legal questions": At what age can you send your child off unaccompanied in a robotaxi? And how far? If the child doesn't arrive is it parental neglect or should the taxi owners be held liable?

A Confederacy Of Dunces
I yesterday migrated our Laravel project from Laravel Mix (which uses webpack) to Vite (https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/vite), and couldn't be more happier.

Earlier, webpack took 3-4 seconds to re-bundle on file changes when running npm run watch (It is a quite large typescript + react project). In Vite, it is less than 300ms. And, React Hot-Reloading is awesome.
Well it used to be the case that:

- peers didn’t pay taxes

- inheritance tax (aka death duties) didn’t exist

- owning a lot of land was a great source of income

So while intermarrying helped stop the distribution, the industrial revolution (making various businesses return better than land) and very high inheritance (and other) taxes also lead to redistribution.
The "Why Vite?" button on the homepage is fairly "front and center" to me and is only a single click away: https://main.vitejs.dev/guide/why
The question of Parliamentary vs. Presidential is orthogonal to that of Proportional vs. Plurality. (Sorry if that terminology just makes things more confusing).

To give a concrete example, the UK uses the same plurality voting system as (most of) the US, which leads to the same two-party dynamics, even though the UK has a parliamentary system.

There's nothing stopping US states from adopting a more proportional system while keep Congress and the Presidency the same. In fact, Maine adopted Ranked Choice Voting to achieve that in 2018, and Alaska followed this year[0].

(Actually RCV is not guaranteed to produce more proportional results, but it can stop vote-splitting and lesser-of-two-evils tactical voting, which makes the outcomes better reflect the true wishes of the voters).

Pretty soon it will support native notifications, which will be far more serious than the home screen icons.

Home screen and bookmarks are for pull

Notifications are for push

What the OS or browser needs to do is manage those far better so it’s working on your behalf (user agent) and safeguarding your attention.

Probably notifications should cost something, in fact an auction. Why don’t people earn currency for their attention? It’s a zero-sum game with publishers paying for users’ attention as an investment. Isn’t that what BAT aas supposed to be? Did it work?

Click fraud is an issue but then the publishers would require someone like Apple and Google to make available webauthn attestation (web credentials) that this was a real device that was purchsed!

You can use NAT6 if you insist but there's no reason to. The aforementioned privacy extensions keep you from being tracked long-term based on address alone and your firewall is still blocking incoming traffic.

Nothing stops you using site- or link-local addresses and NATing to a single (or several) public IPv6 addresses, just as you do with IPv4. There was no "removal of NAT", it's just not necessary any more.

A proper firewall without NAT is generally fine, especially in combination with privacy extensions (which likely overall give better privacy than IPv4+NAT), but if you want to completely conceal the network layout behind your router, go nuts with NAT, no problem.
