> SLAAC seems to introduce insane churn in the IPv6 of end user devices.

By "insane churn" do you mean "devices generate and allocate new IP addresses for themselves periodically (maybe daily, maybe more frequently)"? If you do, then that's not SLAAC, that's the head-assed thing sometimes known as "IPv6 Privacy Addresses". From what I've seen on Windows, OSX, and Linux, this makes it so that there's one IP that remains constant, and a parade of addresses that get assigned as time marches on. You can disable it on Windows, OSX, and Linux, and I would recommend doing so.

> SLAAC (vs DHCPv6) seems to struggle in fully configuring an end user device (think DNS servers etc.

Yeah, if you're interested in only using SLAAC, then the best you can do is set the `RDNSS` option [0] in your Router Advertisements and pray that the network configurator in the OS you're using has bothered to pay attention to it.

[0] <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8106#section-5.1> (Do note that despite the date on this RFC, this option was first specified in 2007, and first specified in a non-experimental RFC in 2010... so, it's not like it's new.)

Python is a good learning language precisely because it hides those details. This allows people to the learn the basics like variables, loops, strings, etc without getting overwhelmed with too much at once.

This absolutely provides a good foundation to learn lower level concepts later, although going bottom-up and starting with a language like C is also a valid path.

It’s also worth noting that a large proportion of developers will never learn C++, and will stick to higher level languages their entire career. And another chunk will only learn the lower level stuff much later when they have many years of experience to lean on.

If your goal is to immediately become a C++ developer, then you should learn C++, but that isn’t most people learning to program.
I don't agree with everyone in Europe wanting to innovate more. I'm a Bulgarian citizen and from my PoV a small group of people only want to innovate. One good thing that I've noticed is that the snowball here is slowly spinning up - we have a good university trying to be on a IVY league level as much as it can (for Bulgarian levels it's good, for EU maybe just about average) which teaches people tech or whatever they want to learn. Some part of them have really sharp skills. But a big portion of them don't really care about innovation, they still have the mindset of their parents/grandparents which is: I get my bachelors, I maybe get a masters, I work one job for the rest of my life and that's it.

I'm more a fan of the EU because I think these sorts of regulations are good. The thing they do wrong here is that they do it slow. E.g. they introduce the universal USB-C port, companies won't be motivated to innovate on that tech since they know it'll take ages for the EU to update the law. So after all yeah finding a sweet spot of course is the best, the thing is that we don't know how to find it.
The USA is more consistently secular than any other Western country. Its constitution is essentially unchanged for 250 years and is designed to separate church and state.

In the same 250 years France had swung between extremes of religious monarchy and ultra-republicanism, back and forth. England’s monarch is also the head of its national church. Even progressive countries like Sweden and Finland have national churches with taxation rights enshrined in law and automatically collected by the state tax authorities.

These are just some examples of how many European countries retain deep state-level power to the church while the society has shifted towards secularism.

Hi,

Thank you. I figured as much, but I will admit if still irks me a bit how what was mostly a good company was run into the ground, so whenever I am given half a chance, I vent. :/
AI art itself is not the problem, it's the abuse of image copyrights. Companies continually dodge the question, redirect the conversation to "but is it art", make excuses like 'the scale is too big to control for image licenses' (but not too big to take advantage of that data), when in reality, no effort has been made to acknowledge that images have owners, licenses, copyrights, and no effort has been made into creating a system that would take those licenses into account and process data accordingly.

If these advancements are a result of systematic ignoring and abuse of image copyrights, is it ethical to continue to use them?

That said, as much as it is 'image copyright abuse' problem, it's still directly connected to AI art, so denouncing all AI art is justified. I don't see these issues being resolved any time soon. This massive scale exploitation will go on, as it continues to exist in legal gray area and not get enough legal attention and pushback (when a system abuses billions of works, and individual artists might be small and disparate, it may be hard for pushback to accumulate, or even happen at all), and then it might just get a green light to continue functioning the way it does. Sure, some 'more ethical' systems might pop up, but that won't change the bigger picture.
The author of Coq named it that way deliberately, which is why some people are annoyed by it. It's not that big a deal when it happens naturally, but going for such a pun in an academic/professional setting isn't really something to do.

I found Gore-TEX to be not durable enough. I sometimes have to go through several shells to find one that’s made right. And we’re talking about technical shells that cost hundreds of dollars from reputable clothing companies. And these companies often get away with it because 999/1000 of the purchases are not used in intended environments. People will never find out that their shells leak.
Just because you disagree doesn't contradict "most Europeans".

AO3's system was actually what I was comparing the idea to, mentally. Running AO3 does take a fair amount of $ (although a lot of it does go towards legal and server costs), and the tagging system is centrally managed. I think that people would do that for fanfiction because the people doing it get something out of it, whereas not enough people would benefit from a more expanded trigger ontology. People will fund things that benefit themselves ("Alright, I can find my Kirk/Spock stuff, sweet!") over things that benefit a small population in which they're not included.

And the second problem remains. I do not trust volunteers to treat my PTSD experience with any respect. The type of person who would volunteer to do this are likely to be either people who have PTSD themselves (which represents a burden on them/is likely to be difficult/might possibly not be emotionally stable enough to do this work well) OR the virtue signaling/social control type. I've seen too much open grifting and hypocrisy from progressives to trust randoms claiming to want to help us.

The point of having the first stage fuel on the ground is you don't have to carry it up there. If you can design something to withstand the shock then it is worth doing. Unlikely to be suitable for all applications but there are likely some which fit.
I'm actually surprised of this since I've always though of Sweeden, Germany, Italy, Belgium as very good countries. I can only speak for bulgarians as I know how the mass thinks here.

But this is easy to argue against:

> No normal, rational human being would want to cover their face.

You could say that some women do it willingly out of piety by buying into the cultural mores they grew up in. That from their perspective women who don't do so are crazy and debase themselves. Or throw the no true scotsman fallacy at them as you did. Technically, you've won the argument...

..unfortunately I can't be sure you're not accidentally straw-manning (why can't it be straw personing! As a scarecrow I am offended :P) the person you were replying to.

I say accidentally because I know you to always argue in good faith. And to be fair it is ambiguously and poorly phrased as you say. But lets extend this same good faith to the rest of their sentence:

> If they do, then it means they’re raised that way and brainwashed.

> Or they’re straight up lying, for fear of prosecution.

I think that is the very heart of the matter.

Can't speak for the op and whether they meant to make that point but my reading of their full argument is:

"this is not only bad because bad people do it, but mostly because the bad people gas-light everybody about their culture and piety and the majority of women have to pretend to go along with it willingly".

No true scotsman obviously doesn't apply to, say, a situation like North Korea.

Anyway, I don't like the woke-y phrasings either but lets not be so open minded as to have our brains fall out. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. ;)

When it comes to SA they happen to be correct.
The problem here, as with most interview problems, is that it is wholly dissociated from its context; memory contraints, disk I/O, and file size are non-trivial considerations. Shame on people for stare-at-one's-shoes thinking.
The word coup, which user "yucky" hasn't introduced in this conversation, is used informally and not in a literal sense. It does not mean that the U.S. installed a military junta.

It means that U.S. officials interfered in the Maidan revolution and picked favorites. How much influence they had is questionable, but they were there.

If you think that is a crank opinion, the BBC is a crank outlet.
My solution to testing GitHub actions is pretty straightforward - I've created a private repository where I push and test my actions first. Then when I'm satisfied, I go ahead and create a PR on the main repository I want the action to be in.
The focus of a good presentation is the presenter, not what’s on the screen. Bad talks make the audience divide their attention between what is being said and what is being shown. What would be shown on a scrolling display? Probably text. Text requires concentration to read, which means asking the audience to divide their attention.

For what it’s worth, if you want something like a scroll effect, I can think of a couple ways to make it happen in Keynote or PowerPoint.
No, not in this case. They literally made no profit.
Art is in how people interact with the work.

Bliss.jpg was originally motel art. It was a stock photo of a random pretty place, and that's what Microsoft bought it as. The success of XP made it popular motel art.

Finally, years later, people managed to track down the original location of the photo and found the rolling meadows replaced by vineyards. That in my mind is the moment when bliss.jpg became 'real' art.
Thank you very much, I’m quite familiar with it. As are professionals who write those GC systems we are talking about, probably much much more so than any of us.
You are more or less. LiMux started in 2004. Last two points on its long timeline[0]:

* November 2017 - The city council decided that LiMux will be replaced by a Windows-based infrastructure by the end of 2020. The costs for the migration are estimated to be around 90 million Euros.

* May 2020 - Newly elected politicians in Munich take a U-turn and implement a plan to go back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux.

Monopoly is not the same as "industry standard". And specifically in the case of Microsoft Office / O365 there is very little actually benefit of using it over any of the more open (and even free) alternatives... rather than being an
"industry standard" it's really just an "industry default", i.e. what most companies use because no IT manager ever got fired for deploying it.
Please don't quote wikipedia. That's a theory from the 70's.
You could look into NextCloud and their NextCloud Office if you haven't heard of it yet. If you have are there any point that speak against it in your opinion?

It's open source so you can even self host. Should be more than enough for most comapnies.

Not sure how difficult the set-up process for an enterprise environment is, I only used the docker version before. But should be viable and if a company has Money for Microsoft365 they should have money to pay to someone to set it up manage for them.

Because of movie transitions from scene to scene leading to slide projectors with transitions from scene (slide) to scene leading to powerpoint-like presentations using digital slides iwth transitions from scene to scene?

People are used to scene transitions going back a long time (maybe even thousands of years in the manner of theatre scenes/transitions). Slides make sense to me in that regard at least.

This is all just a huge, un-researched, wild guess, of course.
Businesses operated just fine before O365 came along and they will operate just fine after O365, this is a pretty moot point. "But they can't use what they're using right now!" Yes, that's the point, because what they're using right now is breaking the law.

> I don't see why you would need to use decorators, generators or anything? You don't need to learn control flow, functions, variables, etc.

I think the point here, is that when beginners start exploring what's out there in "professional" lands they'll quickly discover that they don't know Python at all, because they were using this primitive subset of a language.

I/O is no longer the bottleneck for silly interview questions for the most part. But for real programs it can still be an issue.
Maybe in your case self-hosted/on-premise OnlyOffice is an option[0][1], but as I implied earlier the main issue currently isn't that there aren't alternatives for each individual service but that often a combined package is not there yet.

It's very likely that (if this becomes a bigger issue within the EU), the EU itself will provide more convenient options.

I noticed you haven't shared your email address in your profile. Surely if muting is sufficient you would accept that it's a risk-free action?
This. When Powperpoint first became popular you'd see people throwing in lots of animated transitions. 99% of the time these just made the talk look like a cheap used car lot commercial on local cable tv. Everyone moved on, and now when people use animation or transitions they tend to be mild and subtle.
It's still very bizarre to me to see people completely write off spinning platter drives as 'old tech'.
They're still used everywhere! (At least in my world)

We have all of my teams data on an array of 18tb drives for a 100TB raid10 setup, and a NAS at home doing the same, etc.
Even some of our OS drives at work are 7200rpm drives - and we're a computational lab.
Why is everyone so intent that these effectively no longer exist? The cost for a decent amount of space with NVME drives is just far too astronomical. We're not all millionaires.

For this problem the multiple process version would be quite simple in python or any other languages. It's a classic same program multiple data (SPMD) task. You split the file into N chunks than run N versions of the original program on it (a Map). You then need to collate the results, which required a second program, but that step is similar to the sorting step in the original and so would be negligible wrt wall time (a quick Reduce).

For large files you should get almost embarrassing parallelism.
A Makefile really sucks at displaying outputs/logs of commands, especially when there are lots of commands and when they run concurrently. It also really sucks at communicating what the overall progress is: how many jobs have finished, how many left, how much time has elapsed.

Heck make can make all this much better by just prepending each output line with some colored prefix and timestamp. But make hasn't changed in 30 years and likely won't change.

People are proud that it "solves" things since 1976. Yes if your requirements never changed since 1976. I'm not holding by breath that it will deliver basic usability-enhancing features that one can reasonably expect nowadays.
Of course disk speed has caught up. Single core clock speed hasn't changed in over 10 years now? Disk now uses SSD and has been chugging along with improvements.

I'm curious what a multi thread(multi process for python due to GIL?) comparison would be. Obviously people aren't doing this by default though, so the author's point still stands.
> the maximum speed PCIE4

4-lane PCIe, as most nvme drives are. I havent seen drives with wider lanes though...
> The word coup, which user "yucky" hasn't introduced in this conversation

That account has in fact introduced the word "coup" with reference to Ukraine, many times over in conversations. And you're right, it does carry with it the ugly, false and deceptive connotations of "installed a military junta against the wishes of the people".

Not to imply that they always "introduce" it. In fact, if you say it, they probably pop up like Beetlejuice for the opportunity to launch into the shpiel again. You are again correct that this conversation appears to be one of those times.

Story telling is very powerful, including for educational purposes.

It could clearly be used more often. Doing real-world projects is excellent for engagement but also costly and not always practical.
I'm not European, and maybe this is why I struggle to understand this, but why do people want regulators to say, "This doesn't comply with our regulations, so you aren't allowed to use it?"

I understand the hope is that companies will comply rather than forego the entire European market, but if they don't, the last consequence is ultimately on the consumer, not the company.

It seems like the same type of thing as when Quebec recently decided any service that serves customers in Quebec must offer a French version of all their services. Quebec is a much smaller market than Europe, so the effect was that companies just stopped offering services to people in Quebec, but it seems like these are the same kind of issue.

Government wants services to be provided in a certain way. Service provider declines. Consequences disproportionately impact the consumer, not the service provider.

Why should it be up to a governmental agency to tell you you are not permitted to use a service because they think the service is being provided in a way they don't like?
I was very satisfied with being taught highly abstract mathematics.

I think that the abstraction is both helpful and neccesarry. It allows you gain knowledge which can easily transfer between different area and problems. To me rigour and abstraction are the cornerstones of understanding mathematics.

I am very glad about my mathematical education, because it allows me to reduce even complex problems to special cases of things I already know.
Abstractness is not boring or uninspiring. What it gives you is a wider view, again and again you will run into applications see, that you already understand so much.

This is only half the answer. Microfilm has existed before slide projectors were popular.

I think it's more to do with the fact that humans respond well and are comfortable with a paginated format. "This information fits in this box." Scrolling does not offer that as an inherent part of the format.
> There will need to be human artists guiding the AI to produce something valuable, and there will continue to be human artists working by hand to create the novel works that the AI could never have rendered.

Yes but who’d want their art to be fee back in trainig the AI to achieve what they have done with a click of the button?

> This is what I expect to happen with AI art today. Yes, the AI models can produce art that looks awesome and wonderful now, but it's frankly already starting to wear thin. Art exists to fulfill humanity's need to experience something new, and AI alone simply cannot keep up with the meta game.

But the essence of artwork can actually be copied away too and in the process squander the artists livelyhood. Yes, the argument that the artist can themselves take advantage of that and that is true for some computer literate artists but what about the others? Does the future of art necessarily have to tie art to computers and AI?
Not in a direct way.

What they mean is that FOSS is more likely to be developed with product quality and value in mind. Proprietary software need to satisfy corporate goals too. And these are often contradictory to the spirit behind GDPR.
