> World Wars 1 & 2 happened, shattering the remaining sense of aesthetic unity we had

Who is "we"?

> form a charming aesthetic that has been singularly unachievable except in ersatz form since... deep questions of cultural unity lurk here...

Again, cultural unity amongst whom? At best this is ambiguous, at worst it sounds like a dog whistle for a return to the aesthetics that accompanied the monarchist era.

There are real reasons that aesthetics evolve. For one thing, the hyper detailed and biological shapes and themes of classical aesthetics require a lot of poor, skilled, artisanal laborers, which is why they mostly appear on the buildings of the elite like monarchs.

Regular people during those eras lived in decidedly plainer homes, whose aesthetic charm was mostly a function of their simple shapes and materials.

That started to shift with mass production of decorative elements. The ability to mass produce what were once expensive decorative elements eventually resulted in their becoming passé and kitsch.

Those trends are as much responsible for the aesthetic shifts as the traumas of the world wars.
I used to not take people who grouse about capeshit too seriously. I would go okay, maybe this whole superhero thing is starting to get played out, but I'll go see the next Marvel just to be sure.

Up until Captain Marvel (2019), the Marvel films were solidly entertaining if not great, and very respectful of the characters. There were still some Marvel films like that after that, but most of Phase IV has been a hard skip for me.

Now I'll sometimes watch anime or science fiction on streaming, but the last movie to make me really want to go to the theaters was Maverick.
It provides predictability in the device names. enp1s0f0 looks cryptic but it tells you the exact slot location of the card

eth0 tells you the first ethernet class interface that was activated that boot. Not particularly helpful.

I feel like if you need to care about these names as a user... the distribution has failed to provide effective wrappers. This is window dressing.
Is this that surprising? There was certainly lava in those times. Lightning strikes, bushfires.
Any intelligent creature would be aware of the phenomenon and would be able to use it.

Never seen the Boston City Hall before. I clicked thinking "How bad could it be?" and was sort of surprised at my visceral negative reaction. It is truly hideous! The article describes it as Brutalist, but most Soviet Brutalist stuff I've seen at least gives me a sense of simplicity, efficiency and usually symmetry even if the structures are depressing. This building seems to have eschewed even those positive traits!
I think he is (or was) extremely intelligent. Listening to his informal interviews on various subjects - his depth of knowledge on multiple topics was always kind of astounding. And on the one space where I work in the industry and he's talked about it - he really gets it.

With regard to Twitter - a lot of the information we read is through a biased political filter so I don't believe we really know what's truly going on internally. I suspect a lot of his bad press is overblown.
I looked into it some time again and the shipping to Canada was at a significant premium, like half the cost of the device itself, and the models which were available on Amazon was a small sliver of their product range :(
I'd believe the small percent of a percent of the sky we're in for it to be pointing at us is still a large swath of trillons of miles.

FTX US ex-president reportedly seeks $6M funding to launch crypto startup
Canada's biggest pension plan, CPPI, ends crypto investment pursuit
I’ve built a few utility apps at work. I absolutely love it.

I hijacked your jsx support so that I had built in server-side templating without having to pull in any external libraries (e.g. React). The process of building my own TSX bindings was pretty trivial, but did feel like a hack (I created a React package.json entry that was a file path to my local source folder).

Is that scenario doable with less hackery?

FWIW, I asked my physicist friend this question one time. He said while an outside observer would never see a "massless test particle" enter the event horizon due to time dilation effects, real particles have mass and their own gravitational field, and thus due to complicated stuff they can eventually been seen passing through or otherwise somehow merging with the event horizon.

What's he referring to here?
Because a inanimate technology like crypto turned a perfectly smart and honest mathematician into the next Bernie Madoff.

Lets have some accountability here, Megan Ellison was morally bankrupt and preyed on clueless users of FTX by making extremely risky financial moves(read illegal).

On the flip side anyone who got into crypto thinking they would make out like a bandit also know it was a bagholder game where the last one holding would lose, I mean it was backed by nothing and new coins are minted every week.

Its gambling for the 21st century and both parties knew this coming into the casino, err, exchange.
The Data Bus: a helpful pattern for data engineering
The problem is that people use post-modern ideas (e.g. there’s no universal standard of beauty, might as well do the cheapest thing rather than optimize for beauty) to defend modern architecture.
Very well said. I had a similar takeaway, captured by this quote which is representative of many flavors of the sameness described in the article

"The imagined color of life under communism, gray has revealed itself to be the actual hue of globalized capital. “The distinct national colors of the imperialist map of the world have merged and blended in the imperial global rainbow,” wrote Hardt and Negri. What color does a blended rainbow produce? Greige, evidently."
Well I don't have a math degree (not even a basic college degree) and I'm not a quant / trader but I've dabbled with a little bit of machine learning (worked with some OCR DL models and some basic neural networks for image detection) and I was surprised to learn I didn't need much more than high school math to be able to use what others have created. So while I have no sympathy for her or SBF and think they should go to jail, this particular clip isn't that damning imo.
We're getting there, don't worry about it. One sector at a time. You can't risk getting all the people in the streets protesting at the same time. Have you heard of the boiling frog apologue?
I still remember the exact moment when they wheeled an Apple II into my grade 1 (1980/1981) class on a TV cart and showed us what a computer was. It was an instant religious conversion and all I could think about from then on.

I'm not sure it's actually been good for me, as I lay here with a chronically inflamed lower back and terrible skills in meatspace; but while it's consumed my life, it has brought prosperity to my family.

My point is lzaaz's one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33897568

I didn't think of my cable modem as a firewall. Maybe technically it has one to provide the feature of blocking access to its web interface from the world, or maybe it just listens to the right network. I don't know, but for all intent and purposes, setting up a firewall myself does not seem necessary.

To be fair, I was also a bit annoyed by staringback's phrasing.
I have a datacenter with so many machines (blade computers) in it that dnsmasq couldn't keep up and we ended up having really bad UDP storms. That wasn't fun to debug at all since we had no idea that dnsmasq would have scaling issues like that. Even worse is that the logging output is abysmal and made things even harder to diagnose.

Switched to another DHCP server and the storms went away, but I am not entirely happy with it because of the way it handles leases, it doesn't guarantee that each MAC keeps the same IP over time.

Now, I'm always on the lookout for a good DHCP server... tried another one that was golang, but it wasn't working on my network for some weird spec reason, I didn't have time to debug it and the authors didn't seem that interested in helping out.
EU to Facebook, 'Drop Dead'
Fair enough. I'd still wager that most Americans aren't exposed to FTX US, and those who are came in after years of warnings. I'm sure there are sympathetic victims. But there are more random victims of car robberies in San Francisco every day.
What qualifies as "a friend" to you?

I find it's much easier to make friends online. But we seem to have different definitions for friendship.
So maybe the right thing to say is that assembly is a contract between you and the processor and the underlying implementation can map directly to hardware when appropriate but it doesn't have to. It is an abstraction over different underlying hardware implementations.
I (like many others) have been telling investors and recruiters for years that almost everything "crypto"/blockchain is a scam, and that the dishonest dealings is from pretty much every direction.

Now that a particular suspicious-looking thing is in the news as collapsing, and we're talking about specific people... I'll suppress my kneejerk reaction, and wait to see whether officials investigate, and what happens from there.

At the same time, not talking about specific people, I'd be thrilled if US officials finally shut down the entire space.

This is great content. His enthusiasm is infectious.
A great way to get started is to write your own addon and get familiar with the Python API. Then as you come across bugs or missing features, you'll have a concrete goal on what you could contribute to, with a anchor to something you're doing "from the outside".

If I remember correctly, Geometry Nodes got started as a Blender addon (called "animation nodes") which eventually the Blender organization went as far as employing the creator of the addon and including it in the main release.
I cannot find a single accolade for J.K. Simmons' role in The Accountant. Heck, I don't even care to evaluate an entire role: that hallway scene[1] is seared into my head and that alone deserves an award if we're going to be giving out awards.

Stephen Root has countless memorable scenes if not entire characters. They're not "acting a lot" or playing highly damaged, complex characters. But they're absolutely nailing the characters in a way that I think, "no other actor could play that character."

Not that these actors don't get the credit they deserve. They're well-known and beloved. But if we're going to hand out awards, character actors like these, and countless others, are incredibly underrepresented.

Put this in your /etc/hosts file and it should work (I don't know if it does as I don't have ipv6)

I am pretty convinced Blender will be one the most important tools over the next decade. They should teach kids how to use it in middle/high school. Also a great gateway to learn coding with geometry node.

Whoah, this goes way beyond Sarah Connor: "Anybody not wearing two million sunblock is gonna have a real bad day".
Huh, poor people who can't afford tutoring complain about it as well.

The only people who can opt out are the ones who are either rich or connected enough to choose a different system.

In China that might mean Ivy League, in the UK it means you pay a very expensive private school to give the kids the best chance.
One interesting thing is the asymmetry making it slower for all those backend services to move, as opposed to, say, a brand new ISP.

Cloud/hosting services only need one IPv4 per machine, making them relatively cheap, and easy to include in pricing. ISPs need one IPv4 per customer, or resort to CGNAT or IPv4-sharing. This often means that customers might have better IPv6 than IPv4 performance. All of this does not apply to oldest ISPs that all have a war-chest of IPv4 they got for cheap (free).

Where I'm getting at is that the usecase you're testing is basically worst-case scenario. Fun that Hetzner does not even have AAAA records for their API. Do they have at least RFC1918 (private) IPv4 addresses ?
Mine was a full-on Commodore 64 kit that I got for Christmas when I was in 3rd grade. Everything was used and purchased from someone unloading their gear. To this day, I have no idea how my parents were able to afford it since disposable income wasn't really a thing for them until I'd left for college.

The kit itself include 60+ bits of software (mostly disks, a few cartridges) from games to productivity (geos!), monitor, printer, disk drive, light pen, speech synthesizer, fast-load cartridge, 300 baud modem, and tape drive.

Geos was my introduction to productivity and was used for all of my reports until we got a PC many years later, the modem connected me to Quantumlink (which eventually became AOL), and Gortek and the Microchips taught me basic programming.

Receiving that gift was one of those things that really shaped the rest of my life.

> Imagine I own a company and I already have a bunch of IP4. I upgrade my network equipment to IP4+, and then keep all my routing and firewall configs. Everything just works the same as before. Now I want to access IP4+, so I add a route entry for all the IPs above 255.255.255.255.

It does not. Because 255.255.255.255 only covers 32 bits and "IP4+" is >32 bits. You'd still have to touch every rule to to tweak the mask.

Oh, and your IP4+ idea already exists:

> Addresses in this group consist of an 80-bit prefix of zeros, the next 16 bits are ones, and the remaining, least-significant 32 bits contain the IPv4 address. For example, ::ffff:192.0.2.128 represents the IPv4 address 192.0.2.128. A previous format, called "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address", was ::192.0.2.128; however, this method is deprecated.[61]

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2-5-5

You still need to upgrade bit of networking kit between the source and destination to understand "IP4+", and this (lack of) upgrading and enabling is what is hampering deployment.

What makes you think that companies would have been willing to make the effort to deploy "IP4+" any more than IPv6?
Technically GPT-3.5, it's a newer version https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/
Neat, very different results. But still looking at it from the wrong direction?

That is, ipv6 for clients. But I'm more interested in servers, because that is what would affect me if I don't have IPv4. Such as the experiences described by OP in this thread.
15 years ago I connected 1000s of computers natively to the IPv6 Internet. Today, I don't have IPv6 at home.

DJB was right, I'm afraid.

What makes you think that, for critical systems, "IPv4 + NAT + bad firewall" is the default IPv4 deployment paradigm, rather than "IPV4 + bad firewall"?

Sure, big IaaS providers like AWS put you in a VPC by default. But most servers on the net are not hosted in an IaaS; they're hosted using a VPS or bare-metal hosting provider, or just coloed in a DC by their owner. And in all those cases, what that kind of deployment gets you, is a public IPv4 per VM/machine, that anyone on the Internet can march right up and talk to, where it's the responsibility of the machine itself to reject incoming packets (i.e. at the OS level with a kernel firewall.)

NAT on IPv4 is only really a default assumption for residential networks. Anywhere else, it's pretty much like the movie WarGames: even the mainframe has a phone number you can call. Staying on IPv4 isn't making anyone safe.
"I understand that, but I also don't want to live in a country where people have children they can't afford to raise."

It's a catch 22, because people can't afford to have kids if there isn't enough economic growth, and not enough optimism for the future. Why would you be optimistic about your country's future if it's going to look like a depopulated
geriatric wasteland? Of course people don't want to have kids under such circumstances!

This is why the low birth rate -> low economic growth feedback is so vicious. Smart countries - eg Indonesia - are currently attempting radical social policies to escape this catch 22.
When I encounter the phrase “full stop” I’m inclined to immediately stop reading. It ranks up there with misusing literally.
"I never correct anything and I never go back to what I have written, except to the foot of the last page to see where I have got to."

Hello world performance: Bun vs. Deno
It would be good to be able to only trust CAs with some TLDs. That would limit the harm for adding a geographically useful CA to only a certain segment of the internet.
> The non-responders have already selected themselves into a non-random set, and making a request to them alters the entire experiment.

This is a better statement than any of mine of the point I've been trying to make.
FWIW this similarly-trivial "Hello world" benchmark shows Bun's lead at ~25% faster than Deno at the moment, which doesn't seem insurmountable. https://github.com/denosaurs/bench
It's funny that the column implied that West Side Story's failure was a surprise. It was a remake of a classic movie that never should have been made. You can't compare this to the ground Spielberg movies of the 70's through the 90's.
"They need to monetize."

Sigh.

The furthest I ever got was creating firewall rules for ipv6 that mostly corresponded to our ipv4 rules. These were never used, but they were tested and ready. This was around "ipv6 day" (2014? 2015?) I've thought about it on and off since then and wondered whether I should be doing more with ipv6, but haven't actually taken any action in that direction.

I wonder if there's a relatively simple solution to at least most of the OPs list, all having to do with outgoing ipv6 requests, which would be proxying such (or all) requests through another computer on the network that has both ipv4 and ipv6 interfaces. Maybe that is an oversimplification.

Anyway, ipv4 definitely has a problem, and something is going to have to be done eventually.

Edit regarding World IPv6 day. I must be thinking of June 6, 2012: "This time, it's for real."
Yea Walmart has actually been doing a pretty good job of competing with Amazon on the delivery front. There are a lot of non-perishable food items that you can order in bulk for huge savings through Walmart.
I think architects are certainly aware of the importance of architecture, and most would love to make beautiful quality architecture. But in the end architects are hired by someone who decide the budget, and cookie-cutter is just cheaper.
Sort of. It can do much more than sketchup, but the interface is not designed for quick drafting like sketchup is. Blender doesn't shield you from the more complex parts of 3D design like sketchup does, but if you learn it you will have a better grasp of the system as a whole.
I'm still annoyed they moved three finger drag into the accessibility options. It's one of the defining features of the trackpad in my opinion.

Nintendo used to be synonymous with ‘fun’ but heavy-handed lawyers sure are ruining that. Likely the only people reading these old magazines were once kids who owned them. Reminiscing on the past, when games were fun and new, when Nintendo was exciting, sure doesn’t seem like a threat. Hell, it may even spark some purchases in Nintendos favor.
I've basically come to the same conclusion having attempted to use a lot of Tor Browser's default config in Firefox. Most of it is a good idea, but trying to be untrackable while JavaScript is turned on seems futile. Every single browser's APIs are leaky as hell. No matter how many things are turned off or obfuscated, there's always a few unique-ish details that are exposed that create a fingerprint.

There was one point where my anti-fingerprinting tactics did appear to fool Panopticlick, but that apparently didn't last long. Fingerprinting and anti-fingerprinting are a cat and mouse game, and much worse so than just ad-blocking because there's more at stake than just being annoyed by banners. There's also way too many websites doing everything, and I mean everything with JS. Fricking blog sites half the time display nothing more than a motionless loading spinner if you don't have JS turned on. And if you turn JS on well good luck because lots of things want to use <canvas> to render things that don't even strictly need it, and you're really not going to casually enable canvas for certain things? Even the list of fonts is a decent metric for fingerprinting, yet that's rarely taken seriously because even privacy experts seem to believe that every website needs to display its own fonts for "brand identity."

Though I would stay away from Tor anyway, if I were to use it, JS would have to be turned off entirely.
