Back in the day, I went and attended a "Fark Party". Remember Fark? Well, they actually had meatspace events, and they were as pasty and awkward as you could possibly imagine! Mostly a bunch of 20-year-olds who were much less interesting than they thought they were. Fortunately, the one I went to was in Vegas, so it was easy to ditch the edgelords and go have fun.

A few people mentioned the article's subject matter being Gibsonish, but if I recall (haven't read him in a while), Gibson's cyber-characters were not just online-cool, but were generally backed by richly complex humans. The influencers and Twitterati the author describes have barely any human personality behind them--they're all boring, vacuous, superficial.

> If IPv6 were IPv4 with more octets, then we would all have been using it for like a decade.

I don't really think so: it woulds still be completely backward incompatible and still require replacing a lot of costly network equipment. I think that's the main reason why large ISPs and enterprises have been postponing the upgrade since forever but operating systems, smartphones and other new devices didn't really have a problem with it.
To me it means something. To write to the world that you made a mistake and you were responsible takes courage.

It may lead to change. It may not. But it’s important part of normal apologies.

This is what happens when authors live in extreme privilege. You can easily summarize it as

"I want to go back to a world with 100 million people in it that were chopping down old growth forests at an unreplenishable rate"

It neglects that not only have populations massively increased in the western world, but places in the world that have been historically poor now want to partake in the great modernization. When you are trying to bring another 7 billion out of poverty it would be really easy to wipe nature out of you don't change from the ways of the past.

The postmodern stuff that authors complain about is inexpensive compared to the past, amazingly safe, relatively easy to install, and typically energy efficient in one way or another. It feels like the author is saying "I want to get rid of this conformity even if that means excluding a huge portion of people from the modern economy".

I disagree. I also think there is more value in debating the message rather than the outlet.
As a former Racker, I was always fine with that - it more or less makes sense, although I never racked a server in my time there. What was funny was that we had an organic tendency to apply the same naming scheme to employees of other companies. After Rackspace acquired Datapipe, they had to tell us to stop calling them Datapipers.
The biggest difference between the 2021 riots in the US compared to this events in Germany is that the German group had some military support. Civil disorder are dangerous, but military revolutions tend to be at a distinctly different level. Riots tend to also be a bit more chaotic in their goals and destruction, while planned military operations tend to be more focused and deliberated.
> anyone who thinks "ipv6mess" is still relevant in 2022, doesn't understand the problem space it describes.

It was relevant then -and it is relevant now- because there are good lessons in how to migrate from thing A to thing B, even if some of the then-missing necessary bits are in place now.

Still, it's almost certainly the case that DJB's rant had no real effect, and that the necessary steps were bound to be taken as the cost of sticking with IPv4 rose. Also, a significant period of time was always going to be necessary for software and tooling to catch up -- perhaps there wasn't much to be done about improving the transition 20 years ago. Yet DJB's rant isn't wrong or devoid of value -- it's mostly right and entertaining (still!), even if there just wasn't enough IETF and dev oomph to do better at the time.

" Of course it does, buying a company's stock raises it's value, making it easier for a company to raise money by issuing more stocks. "

Many companies are buying back stock (i.e. doing the exact opposite of this) Since the topic is intel, please explain when Intel last issued new stock and why they couldn't simply end dividends instead. (Giving money to their investors is the exact opposite of raising money).

"Believing that the market is impacted by demographics does not really give you an alpha to use when investing"

If you think stocks will be impacted by demographics you should be able to tell us what the correct price to earning ratio is of the S&P giving demographic a, b, or c and we should be able to trade based on that information when the S&P is mispriced.

If you can't do that, your ideas are not provable or disprovable and are not particularly compelling.

> I've noticed that people with a huge background in dynamic languages tend to have a natural refusal for static types. Lispers are a community with such an attitude, even the typed lisps like typed/racket seem to be born more to please people wanting typecheckers and academics than the userbase itself.

I feel like it's the opposite. It seems like we have this huge wave of a push for static types. The only way I can explain it to myself is that a bunch of people using dynamically typed languages finally came over to the static typing side. And I say this as someone that worked using statically typed languages for pretty much all of their career.

I get it for TypeScript and the frontend. The frontend is a huge, complex mess of interactions, in the same codebase. Static types are awesome there.

But the way we write most backend systems these days, IMHO, static types are practically a nothingburger. Sure, they were awesome when I was working on those millions of LOC projects back in the 2000s. But nowadays those millions of locs are spread across N projects which are separated by a typeless network boundary so I'm not looking at anything more than 50-100k LOC anyways.

So I just don't get it. Systems are written in a way that devalues static typing, but it feels like the demand for it is higher than ever.

To the best of my admittedly limited knowledge on the subject, they're relatively new so most news sites aren't terribly aware of them yet, and most people aren't technology-savvy enough to be aware of their existence and ability to make use of them outside circles like ours here on HN and related occupations/sites/etc. That said, they're also not doing anything shady to get by the paywall either. The version they're presenting you is the exact same version the news sites are presenting search engines in order to grab search engine traffic. The news sites are literally participating in an intentional bait-and-switch scheme to bait people with relevant search results that are NOT paywalled, then when a human browser gets there, they throw up a paywalled version in your face via user agent detection, mandatory javascript, etc. (various means are used). archive.ph simply mimics a search engine indexer to get an un-paywalled version, same as Google or any other search engine, in order to retrieve the cleaned up version of the article without a paywall there, and serves that content to the end user. It's not stealing content not already offered in other forms anyway, it's just removing an artificial dark pattern that's literally intended to bait and switch people in the first place. Kind of makes for a weak argument if they do bring it to court in the first place; glass houses, throwing stones and all that.

My brain had a tough time aligning those two numbers (the former felt very expensive and the latter felt small), possibly because I think about money in $XK amounts as "personal" money and money in $Xmm amounts as "business" (or large organizational) money.

The assumptions in the thread are ok, but is it possible that the 15-20 words/s that they mention is because they are batching inference?
One takeaway for dealing with what the author calls misalignment seems to be that abstractions should be reversible, that is, easily rolled back to the base layer, without disrupting other parts of the system. This facilitates swapping out one abstraction for another.

Another way of putting it is that if you lay out all the dependencies in a system, it should look more like a tree than a graph, with the abstractions closer to the leaves than to the root.
I can't speak about Austin, TX, but here in NYC a number of aesthetically pleasing buildings have been built in last, say, 30 years.

IME no - but its NLP is much better than any search engine, so it's a lot easier to get a more specific answer/example.

Vs. searching for results on StackOverflow and similar, you'd probably have to combine results on 'how to basic flutter app', 'intro to programming', 'todo list example app [perhaps not in flutter]', and even then it wouldn't be exactly what you wanted if you were looking for specific requirements.

Just look at the US too. Charleston, New Orleans, ... Victorian architecture in general. Lush, but not garish. The idea that bright colors are offensive to taste is just wrong. It's how they are applied. And that's what the problem of modernism has been. Modernism is the man internalizing the logic of the machine. It is easier, from a machine perspective, to commoditize and mass market flat neutral colors so therefore it is better. It is truly willful submission. The scary part is that we have been doing it so many generations now, that are sense of aesthetics has been completely atrophied.
C is understood to be a footgun not worth the risks for most common usages. There are better choices nowadays.
A lot of people refer to them as the "late 19th century McMansion". They were built with intricate looking woodworking which was available suddenly to a lot more people due to the mechanization of woodworking tools. It didn't require a craftsman to spend days carving things like it used to which made those types of details only available to the truly wealthy.

The beginning of 20th century was a complete rejection of this aesthetic because it's really just trying to come off as something it isn't really. So the Arts & Crafts movement began where simplicity and high quality became more important. This was a complete rejection of victorian aesthetics.

Saying that, many examples of Victorian styled homes in pre-war towns are beautiful and far more appreciated today. Even still you see some that are just confused in what they're trying to be (we might call them "eclectic" today), similar to many McMansions today where they use ideas out of context.
> Telegram has been used by opposition and protestors in Hong Kong, Russia, and Belarus.

How successful have those protestors been? In each case it seems like the government was always one step ahead of them and all there. So I don’t think it’s a giant leap to think they’re communications are compromised.

So I took a look at the code and the generate bytecode to try to see if the Scala 3 compiler was generating significantly more code. I don't see anything too weird, but the one thing that stands out is all the inline given Conversion in the codebase. I assume the idea is to use inline for performance but I'm afraid it's counter productive here: you end up inlining the anonymous class creation, so every usage of a conversion ends up creating a new anonymous class.
So I recommend just dropping the inline keyword when defining a given ... =
There are a number of companies (not naming names) that do NOT support IPv6 for commoners but if you are on a government account/contract you have different government endpoints that ... work over IPv6.

Infuriating, but perhaps understandable; they're willing to support the government over IPv6 because it's required and they pay more. But I wish there was a "I know what I'm doing and understand you'll make fun of me if I ask for support on this" option.

I came here to post this and a more recent article, his review of (the first sixth of) David Brooks’ Bobos in Paradise:

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/book-review-first-sixt...

Towards the end his directly links to "Whither Tartaria", suggesting that Brooks' thesis (the old monied aristocracy was replace as the upper class by "Bourgeois Bohemians", a class which Scott suggests is approximately congruent to the modern usage of "bluecheck")

>Around World War II, US civic architecture changed from colorful, ornate, old-fashioned looking buildings to brutalist concrete cubes or sleek glass modernist arrangements, even though most Americans continue to prefer the old-fashioned style; other art forms showed similar transitions at different times. Brooks’ theory suggests that the old-fashioned buildings were the preferred architecture of the WASP aristocracy, and the new architecture is the signaling equivalent of [bespoke] handicraft blankets.
> Brutalism, for example, is talentless nonsense.

I find eco-brutalism to be interesting and eerily captivating, but I think it relates to your last sentence:

> Architecture really is a reflection on how mind numbingly dull modern life actually is.

Eco-brutalism reminds me of depictions of the remnants of long lost civilisations adopted by privitive species*.

I really don’t understand what point you’re trying to make.

> Do linux distributions merge?

What does this mean to you? The vast majority of Linux distributions are based on the same sets of packages and any work done by one tends to be upstreamed and cross pollinates.

> To come back to the article, I want a computer infrastructure that isn't obsolete as soon I deploy it.

Can you give an example of something that is obsolete as soon as you deploy it? The slowing down of electronics manufacturing actually is ossifying things more. A computer in 5 years won’t look that different from a computer today whereas in the 90s that wasn’t as true. That being said, a computer today architecturally is quite similar.

> With games, the game is stripped of some assets and then new assets are added and new logic is added and that's a new game. But only the game company of that game and players of that game benefits from that game, except for the inspiration for lookalikes or clones with other separate lineages.

What would it look like for asset and gameplay changes to NHL 2022 be integrated in a beneficial way for Call of Duty? I think you’re negating the existence of path dependence. There’s sometimes no way to “merge” between paths and that’s not avoidable. Not all ideas are compatible - how would you “merge” that? And different circumstances call for different approaches.

> I would like cross polination of computing ideas within the computer industry.

We have that. That’s what software and hardware libraries are. Heck, we have repositories in almost every language now that makes it trivial to drop in an existing component. You can even often times see the source code / patch it / push changes upstream
This is non-init related systemd from IBM->Red Hat->Fedora in a nutshell. It's good for fleets of mega-corp servers. It's bad for human people running linux desktops. But since IBM is the primary entity paying people to write non-init systemd is everywhere and only niche distros avoid it.
I would guess that it's mostly because of tooling and library availability. There has been very little cross language support for reading and writing Parquet files. Mostly it was concentrated in Java and C++. But since it fell under the Arrow umbrella, that situation has been improving.

My bet is that it will be much more widely adopted in the coming years. There are more tools and systems that accept and return Parquet files for bulk data (see most data warehouses). And there are libraries in most languages that are improving every day for working withe the format. Although, I'd obviously believe that as one of the creators of InfluxDB IOx :)

The format itself is, I think, a real pain to work with without libraries to hide its complexity. But the advantages are big enough that people are building those libraries to make it more broadly adoptable.
Customized personal pronouns are just another name. They lose all value if they are high customizable.

I get why people don't want to misgendered. But making up a new pronoun comes across as aggressive attention seeking.
That's what functionally happens, yes. If most people revert to an opinion of "well that's just your opinion, it's all entirely subjective," then the people driving what actually gets valued are the ones that bother to educate themselves and be deemed as experts.

To use an example: if a person in New York City said that "all the restaurants taste the same and it's all just subjective," would you buy a dining tour guide book from them? Or would you buy a book from someone that has made an effort to understand what makes a restaurant good or not?

I find some of the best advice for adults is found in advice for handling small children (I've got two kids).

The new research/trend is to try to praise behavior rather than outcomes (or in addition). The other bit is to focus on their actions instead of it's impact on you. For example "I'm proud that you won that baseball game" places the focus on me and on the outcome of winning. Versus "I saw you really focused out there in the outfield, I know getting distracted between bats is easy and you've come along way."

It's a very new way of speaking for me, but the more I practice it the more natural it comes. My family aims to "catch someone in praise" a few times a day. We also celebrate celebration. I.e. if I say something nice about someone, then they turn around and say "you get a point for giving a point."

But yeah it is pretty good.
20 years ago it was the lack of IPv6 support on the CPE holding IPv6 on the server side back, nowadays it's a lack of IPv6 at major SaaS providers causing issues. In most of the scenarios I was involved in we made sure that the CDN in front of the product was able to terminate IPv6 and left everything behind it v4 only. About 1/3 to 1/2 of the traffic received was sent via IPv6 on those setups. Maybe time to turn that around and use the CDN to make the product also available via v4?
Leaves you with maintaining a NAT gateway for your own infrastructure.

BTW also only one of the office networks I had to deal with in the past 20 years hat experimental IPv6 support, and that was at a small local hosting company. Everything bigger than that also sticks to IPv4 only for now. :(

Strange how things change but still stay the same.
