No, I live in a city where space is constrained, and therefore its use must be negotiated between the inhabitants.
Large ISPs like Comcast already have enormous IPv6 networks, and have appropriate, default-deny firewall configurations for them.

I'm only familiar with the largest ISPs in Britain, but they also have default-deny configurations on the IPv6 routers they supply. Obviously.

Canada's troubling approaches to innovation
Excerpts from the linked material:

The lawmakers warned that Yieldstar, which landlords use to set prices on millions of rental properties, could be “facilitating de-facto price setting and driving rapid inflation.” On November 22, 2022, the lawmakers sent a letter to RealPage CEO Dana Jones, expressing concern about RealPage’s YieldStar, and its role in driving rising rents and exacerbating inflation. The lawmakers requested information on how this rent-setting software has affected the rental housing market.

While RealPage did not provide all of the requested information that would have provided insight into YieldStar’s direct impact on rent prices, what they did share was alarming, revealing that “the widespread use of … [Yieldstar’s] proprietary rental data by the country’s largest landlords could result in de-facto price-setting by those companies, driving up prices and hurting renters.” Specific findings included:

• Publicly available information from RealPage indicates that the software is used to help set prices for over four million units, which would be approximately 8% of all rental units, and appears to show that the company has access to “transactional apartment data from the rent rolls of 13+ million units.”

• Information provided by RealPage also revealed that the use of YieldStar has been most prevalent in some of the regions most heavily targeted by corporate buyers and with the highest rent increases.

• RealPage provided important information about the extent to which the company facilitates information sharing by and among large institutional landlords – a particular concern given the market share of the product.

A blockade is illegal. One targeting food could easily invite Japan or the US to run the blockade. It would be difficult for the PRC to blockade the wayward side of Taiwan from both air and sea provided direct US/Japanese intervention to maintain sea lanes.
If I’m following your logic, you’re saying you trust tplink etc to keep Grandma safe, but only for IPv4, and not IPv6? Why?
Many cell phone networks are always ipv6 using xlat
I don't know, it's not my specialty, not an issue I've spent any time researching, and the ideal solution depends on the requirements that are trying to be met. I also don't know what all those requirements are.

IPv6 is obviously addressing many requirement beyond IP space exhaustion, though. When I speak of an "ideal solution", I'm speaking about just addressing that issue.

Even if I had a perfect solution at the ready, it wouldn't matter. We have to work with standards, and the adopted standard is IPv6. So it's the only solution we have available.

No, the best outcome is actually that Musk is in a negotiable position since due to office vacancies those properties would just sit vacant.

That means he likely can manage to settle for less than his current rent because the owners will be willing to negotiate -- because some money is still better than no money.

I think we might be arguing about different things here. You’re saying that it worked for OP, that is fine, I don’t disagree with that, however I do disagree with this practice, because as a whole it is not good for us workers in this industry. This behavior is ripe for abuse, and companies do abuse it unless there is a collective action against it (through regulation, union contracts, etc.)

Like you said, if you work for a company which expects this from you, and you quit as a result, they can simply hire someone else that takes the abuse, and that is not a good prospects for us workers in this industry. Which is the reason I’m asking OP not to do this. Even though they had fun and were handsomely compensated, this behavior does a net disservice for the rest of us.
She’s not the only or first one to criticize contemporary physics funding, and the focus on mathematical beauty to guide new theories. String Theory received a lot of blowback for how much time it sucked up without empirical results because the math was very appealing. Funding is finite, and so are careers.
pidgin + libpurple is great, and it makes interacting with Slack and other chat systems I use daily so much better. It's too bad libpurple clients seem to have withered on other platforms (what happened to Adium?)

I really miss the days of a unified chat application (anyone remember how amazon the chat app on the Palm Pre was? It'd seamlessly switch between jabber/aol/messenger and sms)

I've even written my own libpurple plugins for chat systems I've had to use. I do wish libpurple had better tutorials and documentation though!
Why is this an 'unfair' advantage? It's just being curious and learning more about other roles so that you'll be more effective in your job. You may or may not come out ahead, depending on the organization or on whether or not your boss figures it out and as a result will drown you with work so that you'll stay in your lane.

Do you want a real unfair advantage? Befriend your management chain. That is truly an unfair advantage.

What an earnest post, and how damn refreshing it is to see such concern for users, accountability, honesty and openness (quite a contrast to another PaaS)!

I moved one app successfully from heroku to fly and attempted to move a few others. These are my experiences (both good and bad):

Great:

- The load time on the pages is insanely faster on fly than heroku. Sometimes I thought I was on the localhost version of the app, it was that snappy.

- Love that it uses a Dockerfile

- Love paying for what I use (compared to Heroku's rigid minimum of $16/month for hobby dyno w/ postgres for baby apps, or $34/month just to get a second web dyno for toddler apps). The same apps are <$5/month each on fly.

Not great:

- I find the fly.toml file hard to understand and use, and the cycle time slow to fix or tinker with it. It's partly (entirely?) a 'me' problem because I haven't spent a huge amount of time reading the documentation.

- I found scheduling a rake task in a rails app time consuming (~days) the first time, but very easy (15 minutes) the second and subsequent times, once I knew a way that worked (cron didn't work; had to use a tool I hadn't used before 'supercronic').

- Deploys sometimes time out with `Error failed to fetch an image or build from source: error rendering push status stream: EOF`. Most layers copied, but randomly, some layers wouldn't. All I could do is keep trying until it worked, which it did, 2 hours later. Not the end of the world, but an annoying complication when you're already trying to solve complex problems.

- I followed a youtube video on how to move a rails app from heroku to fly, and it worked on a modern app, but I couldn't quite get fly happy when moving the older app - something to do with postgres versions, and I didn't want to spend all day figuring it out. I'm not hugely experienced with docker, it could have been an easy fix for someone more experienced.

On reflection, 3 of the 4 negatives above are solvable by me reading the docs more thoroughly and getting more proficient with docker.

I look forward to continuing using and exploring fly, and can't be happier with the directness, transparency and care from fly staff. A platform with huge potential.

There are scenarios[1] in the game, from my experience that is very similar to what RCT used to have. You're given a map and a point in time where the map has certain issues, and you have to solve them. The issue is that they are gated by DLC, so not all players can experience it. Also they aren't really deep and don't have too much re-playability.

>China prefers Taiwan be a rebellious province rather than an independent country because it strengthens China's claim to the island.

I'm pretty sure that the Chinese government is actually scared shitless that Taiwan declaring independence would reinvigorate independence movements in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and probably half a dozen more.

A new civil war in China would make WWII look like a minor scuffle.

Don’t know about expected usage but 10K rows seems like low number to me. If you mean 10K req/s then perf starts to matter but usually it’s SQL queries that fail first if you have 100K+ rows. In general good caching solves most of stuff + read/write separation. That’s all from my poor experience.

From the first day the Steam Deck was released, ALL FORUMS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND OTHER ONLINE OUTLETS, BLOGS, AND THE TECH PRESS has been repeating the doubtless paid Microsoft astroturf that "it'll be a great Windows gaming platform" and lo and behold, we get yet another article in this vein.

It's like Linux on the Switch - you don't see the gaming press benchmarking the Switch using Linux. But then again the Linux Foundation doesn't pay thousands of "people" in the gaming press to astroturf its product. Microsoft does.
>There were numerous institutions of higher learning or universities

Those are not synonymous; and therein lies the problem with your assessment. There were many institutions of higher learning in the ancient world, with histories documented back to e.g. 21st c. BCE in China.

A university is not simply an institution of higher learning; the word implies a certain composition and structure, and that doesn't trace back prior to Bologna. There's no value judgment implied in that.

>Ever wondered why all degrees granting universities using Arabic styled robe during graduation?

Academic dress in the early universities (Bologna, Oxford, etc) imported styles typical of contemporary ecclesiastical dress, which has a (fairly) straight line history back to the 4th c. CE Nicene church, and those styles were mimicked by later universities. I'm not sure what you're trying to get at there.
I used to work there. At one point, I guess the worker population got large enough that they calculated the odds of insider trading or leaking data got too big (I think they were right) and nearly everyone lost access to the dashboards that would give insight into that kind of question. Despite this, the FEC enforced trading windows persisted.
For the longest time I’ve been against this train of thought. Even resisted this when GPT-3 was announced and then ChatGPT was said to replace Google.

> to make IPv4 not explode in a ball of flame there are far more billions of end points than IP addresses.

But in my LAN, there is no IP address exhaustion. I have orders of magnitude more IP addresses than I'll ever use. IP address exhaustion applies to the internet at large. I'm not talking about that.

In the internet at large, IPv6 has to happen. In my LAN, I don't see a need for it. I can route between the IPv4 endpoints in my LAN and the IPv6 endpoints on the internet.

And because I have IPv4-only hardware on my LAN, I need an IPv4 segment to support it at the very least. So why not keep the entire LAN IPv4?
Using Stable Diffusion to solve IQ test
The only realistic way to make housing or property in general a bad investment and leave it as shelter is to control credit. First investment property (i.e. not a primary residence or PPOR) max loan to value ratio (LVR) 80%, second investment property 50%, third + no credit.

There was a reason why in Australia for example that housing prices were pretty flat for a 100 years and only took off after late 1980's following financial deregulation of banks.

It would be great of course if we didn't centrally plan and set the most important price (the price of money i.e. the interest rates) via fiat. It should be set by the market i.e. the demand for money (borrowing) and supply (savings). But governments will never let go of that power so it is not realistic.

Maybe after this round of global recession / depression with property price crashes we will do the first step.

Is anything in that statement factually incorrect?

- The protest movement was in fact almost entirely native, driven by ordinary Ukrainians who were fed up with their government's policies and corruption.

- Many Americans did in fact support the movement in the media and elseswhere. Some of these Americans were in fact predisposed to dislike Russia because of Russia's widely publicized repression of homosexuality.
So for the US troops it was fine to go there, but for chinese not?

I used Pidgin around 15+ years ago. Around the time of MSN messenger. Cool that it is still around although this reminder of it has made me long for the days I would log on to my PC and chat with my friends (IRL and Online).

It may be the case that those managers had no reason to care about the health of the company as long as they were able to extract personal short term value before it all blew up. I think that applies to most tech company employees over the last 15 years.

This is one of the understanding gaps I've seen in these discussions.

If you have an employee who is producing very little work, you're face with a decision about whether to put in a ton of effort to try to turn the situation around or put a ton of effort into firing them and hiring a replacement.

If you know the person has been showing up and doing normal office stuff that's a huge signal in favor of "this person is making a genuine effort so I need to go the extra mile on my end." It's harder to get that kind of signal remotely.

This isn't to suggest remote work is wrong. It's just that, for managers, dealing with these kind of situations was a big part of the job and now has gotten much harder.

If it was a true free market, housing wouldn't be an issue because developers wouldn't be forbidden from building density.
Capitol hill is a disaster for city living as most of it are single family homes, whereas they should be 5 story condo buildings.
If they don't give us mixed-use zoning I'm going to tableflip, so here's hoping. I dislike how Western-centric the concept of zoning is - in most of the world having a grocery store at the bottom of a building is normal!

Likewise I wish they would model the amenity effect of businesses. Commercial zones in C:S are only about employment, but IMO having good amenities near residences is a huge influencer of QoL and should be modeled.

In fact I would love to see zoning become a more full-fledged game mechanic - balancing the amenity effects of mixing business with residential with the nuisance drawbacks.

Likewise the idea that you had to start every city with a huge freeway is a bit of a turnoff. Give me a start with a train station! I want to make a beach town that's primarily accessed by train!
Yup I came here to say this too. It's a well-known product in the self-publishing world.
What are those 100 languages?
> Making the consumption of inputs and the generation of outputs a second-class citizen in the language with the goal of "purity" just makes it that much harder for a program to perform its primary task.

You have this backwards. I/O is second class in every language except Haskell and languages with type and effect systems. Those are the only languages where it's a first-class citizen, which is to say that I/O computations are values that can be passed around, interpreted and otherwise recognized or operated on in various ways.

The problem is that people are used to the second class status and don't understand the additional power first class status gives you, or the patterns needed to make it extensible and maintainable.
Exactly. Russia is able to withstand the sanctions because they are major exporters of food and oil. China is in the opposite position.
I see a stronger argument in a similar vein: "instead of spreading your knowledge thin, focus on your improving your ability in the domain you're paid to be good at."

But I'd counter that this doesn't mean you must permanently focus on one domain. On the contrary, every area of focus has a learning curve. And as many jaded HN commentors will point out, being exceptionally good at CS does not translate to being paid well, or being good at your job.

Naturally, even if you don't care to learn about Sales, Design or Product in the course of your Software Engineering career, you will still have to learn more than just pure Maths and CS. Simple skills: estimations, task breakdowns. More complicated skills: interfacing with other teams, juggling priorities, assigning work and pipelining tasks between teammates on 2+ person projects. And obviously, negotiating for compensation is entirely-unrelated to your work yet very impactful on your salary.

P.S. Nobody wants experts, people just want someone who can get the job done. Often times the hardest problems in an organization are not technical problems--they are communication problems. Having an understanding of multiple domains helps you bridge that gap and communicate at eye-level with other stakeholders.
I don't agree. Fly.io took on 40m in venture capital and is now on a do-or-die mission towards a $400 million exit. This might be obvious to many here on HN but most developers don't understand these startup dynamics and the consequences of a growth-at-any-cost strategy.
Because copyright infringement is only a small piece of what this will regulate. Think illicit forms of pornography, terrorism.

> a large segment of the public facing internet is wiltin

I noticed that many teenagers today, despite the abundance of technology around them, are a lot less technological than the previous generation. When I was young, almost everyone in my school knew how to download (pirate) stuff from the internet, burn CDs, copy cracks, modify config files, etc. Nowadays, I see some young people not knowing how to use the maps' functionality on their phones, and only be "proficient" in a few apps like Email, TikTok and Instagram.

I do think that the PC/internet being less accessible before forced people to learn more about computers. Because everything is so fast and easy nowadays and there are so many sources of information, no one really needs to spend that time.
