Having worked at tech companies with cutesy employee nicknames, I really think that's overthinking it. It is probably a way to try to have more corporate unity, but it does not do so to a noticeable extent. And IMO it's more about tech companies trying to capture the whimsy of early Google - it's trying to have the vibe of "hey, it's a casual place - we call ourselves a stupid, silly nickname in our stupid, silly named company, as opposed to [Name] and [Name] corp." It worked better with Google, because Googler, and Noogler are extra ridiculous, but that's pretty much it.

I can guarantee you that the letter referred to Plaid employees as "Plaids" is quite literally the last thing on the minds of any current or ex Plaid employees. It's not that big of a deal. It's not particularly dehumanizing, nor brainwashing. It's mildly cringy, half by design, but that's about it.

Who's the monster that created NAT for IPv6 D:
Yesterday, I took my 4-year-old son to la Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace in Paris so he could see and walk through a 747 in real-life. This was after flying to Frankfurt on a 787, and seeing a 747 and A380 on the tarmac there. He said, "I want to go on those ones."

Managed to fulfill the 747. La Musée had an A380 on the tarmac too, but not open to walk through.

Honestly, for aviation geeks, it's a worthwhile visit for the 747 and Concordes alone.

anecdotally, i've found that on a low-ram laptop having zram (i.e. compressed swap in ram) helps a lot, smoothing out the memory exhaustion. things start to get slower very gradually (as now swap churn means constant (de)compression rather than disk access), allowing you or the oom killer time to act.

My interest in Bitcoin (since 2014) has never been because I thought it was private. My interest is because of its potential to transform the financial system. I actually think the public auditability of Bitcoin is one of its strengths as a technology.
> With IPv6 the entire network is reachable outside by default

Only, and only, if you configured your router that way.

In both cases, it's absolutely the same:

IPv4 -> allowed NAT ports -> NAT network -> Everything else is dropped/denied

IPv4 -> allowed ports -> directly routed IPv4 network -> Everything else is dropped/denied

IPv6 -> allowed ports -> directly routed IPv6 network -> Everything else is dropped/denied

See?

Of course if you are on someone's else network (typical for hosting when you aren't provided with your own v6 subnet, instead you have a bunch of addresses) then you should configure firewall on each your machine... which is what you need to do anyway?

TL;DR: consumption of healthcare on a gold plated health plan meant that my total comp was more than I've ever gotten in salary on the FAANG RSU train and whereas its easy to talk about RSUs its hard to talk about 'golden EOBs'.

The eye opening has roughly two versions all of which you can see in a peer group when babies start landing:

1. The tail event

Lets say you're a SWE making $500k/yr then you have a child and run up a $2m NICU bill and then a $2m cochlear implant bill after that... most people look at your $500k in 'salary' (base + bonus + stock) and say 'wow you're well paid' in reality what they should look at is your $5 copay and $1k total annual and say 'wow you're well paid' (an extra $1,999k in consumption enabled by your work). Remember it's even more extreme than raw numbers b/c your $1m in wages over these two consumption events gets squeezed through an income tax that (in CA) is ~50% vs. your employer sponsored plan paying the $4m in bills (granted crazy hospital Monopoly dollars) without that tax drag.

2. The ordinary frustration

boplicity and I consumed the same service (OB ER triage) and boplicity ended up unhappy to be out 'multi thousand dollars' in user fees whereas I was happy to be out $5. When a peer groups starts having children this first - for many - substantial engagement with the healthcare system shows just how different 'good' employer sponsored plans are. In my peer group share of cost, network of options, extent of benefits were all meaningfully different even among prestige employer plans. The fear of infinity $ as an upper limit paired with the loss of agency involved in infirmity causes a lot of consternation about the money and choice. It's hard to price the absence of that worry and feeling you got the short straw in the relative buying power game devalues your prestige employment.

For my part, I felt fortunate to be on a plan that exposed me to ~zero financial risk or sense of network loss during a healthcare consumption event. This was not always so. As a healthy single 25 y/o with that first package I ignored 'fringe.' It didn't even make the xls doc from the HR people a free gym you use with your boss's boss is hard to price anyway. Now having worked through the GFC / COVID & consumed some healthcare the RSUs are harder to budget and health insurance reads like a deranged lottery ticket that could asymptotically approach 100% of total comp.

Finally, whether any of this 'ought' to be is a separate question. As a practical matter, today, it is so - my employer can buy things I cannot and can do so with dollars I cannot match 1:1. Sometimes I value them and sometimes I do not. If the person sitting next to me values these more than I do then I am are being under compensated. If HR tried to close that gab with salary we'd have pay equity problem. As such, I believe the present tax / insurance system means we can have any two of diversity of employee preference, pay equity, comp equity (in theory ... in practice it seems we can have zero of three).

Anyway, hopefully that clarifies my thinking a bit. As I said, wouldn't put much weight on it.
> My understanding is that Beijing University gets the test results for every high school graduate in the country and automatically admits the top scorers.

There are quotas for each province, city/rural area (I think the quotas are by major, which have to be declared ahead of time before you take the test). It can be really hard to get in from rural Henan, for example, but much easier to get in from urban Beijing. Someone who gets into Beida from a rural village in the middle of nowhere is going to have a much higher gaokao score than someone who gets in from Shanghai (there is a large quota for Shanghai kids even in Beijing University, but a very low quota for rural Henan). So it actually acts as a way of limiting social mobility for those without urban rich city hukous.

It is sort of analogous to America's public university system, where you get differences between in state and out of state tuition (except here, it isn't tuition, but quotas for regions).

I suspect that too. If I learn Blender to replace Fusion/SketchUp, I can do other stuff with Blender. But I'm sticking to basic home DIY. I might just spend some time on Fusion.
It's a Tesla, and yes, they needed the entire MVPA.

It might be because I applied with a downpayment of 10K so they just shut up and gave me a super low interest rate.

I didn't actually need the loan, I just saw interest rate increases coming and figured I could save a few bucks by taking the loan and putting the balance of the value of the car in a CD or bond at higher interest a few months later, which I did.

Oh is it magic? How do you authenticate yourself enough to reset a password? It’s almost like, you need something else. Such as a device that stores a private key.

Also, everything you said about resetting passwords can be done for resetting private keys too. The difference is that you don’t go around reusing it and typing it into phishing sites.

And if you think getting access to an account where you are totally butt naked and forgot the password is normal, I have a million gmail users who would love your wisdom.

Can you expand on that? I thought it supported multiple readers, but only a single writer. They do all have to be on the same host, though.

Are there relative performance benchmarks that help estimate the overhead of the WASM-recompilation and runtime? How much slower is it to run the same operations with the same code in a runtime with WASI support?

Are there cgroups and other container features for WASM applications?

Is there any way to tell whether an unsigned WASM bundle is taking 110% of CPU in a browser tab process?

Do browser tabs yet use cgroups functionality to limit resource exhaustion risks?

Should we be as confident in unsigned WASM in a WASM runtime as with TUF-signed containers?

You sound like the people preaching the Nouveau drivers right now. "we reverse-engineered this proprietary GPU and got it working at 50% speed and 3x power consumption, what's not to love?"

Nvidia's first-party drivers are far-and-away the more popular (and faster, more power-efficent, more well-supported, etc.) option. What's "not to love" is the fact that we're cheering for someone doing thankless and redundant work that wouldn't exist if the multi-billion dollar corporation dedicated a couple engineers to Linux support. You can't even consistently control the brightness on these machines more than a year after they've launched, it's obvious that there are significant problems WRT reverse-engineering the hardware.

Reichsbürger: German 'crackpot' movement turns radical and dangerous
I feel the same way.

Clearly ipv6 is very flawed and by now the community should consider it a failure and work on a viable replacement.

We need an internet protocol that is backwards compatible with ipv4 and does not require deploying and maintaining entirely parallel
networks, interfaces, firewalls, routing, etc.

If ipv6 actually was viable, the internet would have cut over. Instead we’re on a path to support ipv4 and ipv6 in parallel essentially forever.
Path dependency makes that often difficult / impractical.
My guess would be that you need to let used IPv4 addresses age out for a while before you can reassign them to a new customer, and they need to reduce churn - and avoid people intentionally burning IPv4 addresses by rotating through new, clean addresses.

I've had real-world downtime as a result of exactly this. The kernel OOM often takes forever to kick in. Like 10 to 15 minutes is not uncommon.

The most facepalm one was somebody uploaded their `.vimrc` which had a bug that infinitely recursed the parent directory loading ctags until it gobbled up all available memory and crashed. So every time he opened vim, it started about a 40 second timer of doom unless vim was exited before memory exhausted. Took forever to figure it out too, because he often only opened files for 10 seconds or less, short enough not to trigger the OOM.
Right, I've read that for them its not even seen as making a choice. Earth is too freaking hard sometimes.

SLAAC can configure DNS automatically (via RDNSS).

Or you can run DHCPv6 just to hand out DNS settings (or anything else you want more control over), even if it's not handling addressing. But this isn't necessary for small deployments.

Personally, I've never had any problems with pure SLAAC (no DHCPv6) on my home network.
PiHole is actually pretty great for this. I set up some firewall rules in OpnSense to force all devices to use PiHole as a DNS server. Then log all queries.

You can see which clients are using ipv6 and how many queries there are. I would estimate that about 60% of iPhone traffic in my household (by far the busiest devices) is ipv6. We usually use big sites though like Reddit, twitter, google, etc.

And then there’s the Rokus that don’t support ipv6 at all. Considering how cheap they were it doesn’t really surprise me.
I agree with this. Someone reaching out because they have a problem or need someone to talk to is perfectly welcomed. Someone who does so daily becomes a big f'ing drag on your life, pardon the expression.

My father did that to us kids after divorce, and our relationship has never been the same.

(For those curious, he didn't hurt himself, just became an angry, sad, drunk yearslong drag on us all).
This is exactly why this isn't a good way to measure ipv6 adoption. For example, youtube supports ipv6; if you spend all day watching youtube, 80%+ of your traffic will be ipv6.

I don't understand why you'd need a firewall if

- you trust devices on your network (yes, big if, but even then: the only reachable ports of a machine from the outside are those explicitly open to the outside, most stuff listens to 127.0.0.1 anyway)

- you only configure your NAT to forward ports you would open on your firewall

Why do you think this? What led you to assuming these things?

You would only need to configure any of this if you want to allow external connections, which isn't much different than setting up port forwarding with IPv4 + NAT, except with IPv6 it's less complicated.
> With IPv6 the entire network is reachable outside by default.

The entire network might be routable, but it often isn't reachable. My router had a default deny rule, so everything in my network for sure wasn't reachable by default despite having IPv6 addressing.

If anything, I like firewalling in IPv6 far better than dealing with NATs. Just imagine having multiple boxes you'd like to reach by SSH or HTTPS from the outside. With NAT, you can only run one on a standard port. With IPv6, there's no need to NAT, everything can just use one of their many public IPv6 addresses, and then I can firewall to allow traffic to each of those boxes at the standard ports.

In fact, this gets even cooler. I can then have multiple services all bound to different IP addresses and have different firewall rules related to each of those services. There's so much more possible using IPv6 that you just practically can't do in IPv4, unless you just happened to have a /8 assigned to you back in the day.

Think about this: every device in my home network gets more IP addresses assigned to it than there are IP addresses in IPv4. I can have every container on my cluster have its own publicly routable IPv6 address, every application I run could theoretically have its own address and have its own network rules applied. And then I can look at my network edge and immediately identify any and all traffic flowing through that edge.

I can't wait until IPv4 is dead and I never have to deal with NAT issues again.

It's already more or less how IPv4 addresses are embedded in IPv4 (except its 128bits and they use an FFFF prefix between the 0 and the IPv4 address).

IPv6 doesn't solve anything for the sake of it. Anyone who had to debug ARP caused issue on a network knows it's complete garbage for example.

Providers who explain that they are dragging their feet because of the complexity would have said exactly the same thing even it was only IPv4++. They just don't want to invest any money in something which is working for them.

Funnily, the big picture is the least interesting part of the experience for me.

Back when I lived in NYC, I used to go to Nighthawk cinemas every once in a while for a date night. We'd pick a movie, shell out for some fancy cocktails and dinner, and enjoy the drinks and food while watching the movie. It was a great experience, really loved their menu. They even had a really smart ordering system, where you wrote your order down on a piece of paper and the servers picked them up silently so as not to disrupt the movie.

But most cinemas are just typical garbage big chain locations with way-too-loud, poorly balanced speakers, crappy food, crappy drinks, full of screaming children. Why would I go to all the trouble and expense for an experience that's just worse in every way?

I also prefer watching all content with subtitles, which makes me want to go to the cinema even less because so few showings have subtitles. Given that something like 70% of Gen Zers watch content with subtitles most of the time, I wonder how long it will take that to change?
