One that is backwards compatible with IPv4 would have eliminated a very large part of the friction here. I really think that if that were a feature of IPv6, we'd be at nearly 100% adoption by now, and IPv4 would be largely a dim memory.

It's more that everyone advertises so many 9's of uptime, but in reality they don't count anything less than a total outage of an entire datacenter as actual downtime against that statistic.

A fraction of a percentage of Windows users do music production. A single-digit percentage (at best, probably more like another fraction) of them use UAD hardware. What the parent post said is, actually, applicable in the simple majority of cases. Buying expensive bespoke DSP hardware tied to a digital interface and platform wasn't a wise choice if you value longevity; digital recording has been around long enough to see these things come and go so that's kind of on you.

*EDIT for posterity: I'd like to note the lack of absolutisms or personal defamations in this post (contrary to what has been described below).
That is an odd layout*, is the schematic online somewhere?

Since this is older gear, it is probably a 6.3V transformer, 6.3 and 12.6 volt transformers were some of the most common and cheapest voltages before the rise of cheap switcher supplies. 6.3 and 12.6 were the optimum voltages for powering the filaments of vacuum tubes and became standard voltages in transistor gear since they were cheap and available, even today transformers in these voltages are easy to find cheaply on the surplus market.

*Edit: Nevermind, I read that as you had 120 and 220VAC transformers followed by a 6.3VAC transformer, you have one transformer with 120/220 primaries and a 6.3VAC secondary. Not odd at all.

The outage has been going on for 40+ hours now...

I think this is sort of big.
I can't help but wonder how possible it would be (or would have been at some point in the past) for a person with evil intent to send unauthorized commands to these probes. How are signals authenticated? At this point, is it just that there are only a handful of parties capable of sending a strong enough radio signal to a precise-enough location in space, and who know the position of these probes to the degree of accuracy required?
All of it is entertainment. Only email is serious, so I block everything during work hours. On dns level, router level and on app level, so it’s to much work to unblock. Then I usually decide to fet away from computer, because long hours sitting are bad for posture. While not perfect, it’s how we naturally deal with most of the world, we ignore it. Like how we only see 10% of what are our eyes see, at most. Some apps to install: self control (mac), leech block (ffox), etc. You can also decide computer is only for work, and block everything at so many levels it’s to much work to unblock.
I don’t see how this is a good argument? Yes, it’s someone else’s computers. That they rent me by the month or the hour or the second through a programmatic interface. That’s exactly the product I want. And it’s not surprising that it has outages sometimes because at the end of the day, yeah, it’s still just a bunch of computers someone has put in a room somewhere.
TL; DR: "It's better to design a fast system from the get-go instead of trying to fix a slow system later."

That's basically true. I worked on a system that was Java/scala/spring/hibernate and it was just slow. It was slow when it was servicing an empty request, and it just went downhill from there. They just built it wrong...and they went ahead and built it wrong again.

Today, I could replace it was a few hundred lines of node in AWS/Lambda and get multiple orders of magnitude of performance.

What qualifies as "halfway decent"? For servers, Linux seems to have a good set of utilities (taken advantage of by docker). Windows doesn't seem to have as good system calls (like chroot, for example), but UWP apps seem to be decent enough for a sandboxed app. What would be a good example of sandboxing for you?

Personally I think that websites are the most popular way to distribute applications because it only requires a single link or URL to download the software and have it run immediately as required. No other cross-platform computing VM (JVM, CLR) can boast about that kind of ease of distribution. Additionally, HTML + CSS + JS have proven to be the most popular UI platforms. XAML just doesn't come close to the flexibility provided by these tools, and non-declarative UI is just out of the question for the majority of people designing websites in HTML, who are not software engineers

Your car, heater, air frier, lawn mower, etc all have the potential to kill you. I’d even argue that the probability of a car killing someone due to technical malfunction or user tinkering is way higher than a farm equipment that operates in a large open area.

If all of these things were locked down following John Deere’s logic our daily lives would become very expensive and inconvenient.

We as a society have more than enough legal and insurance frameworks to mitigate any of the risks that you’ve mentioned.

The last time I tried to evaluate it was a long time ago and it seemed to be all svg uploads. I had to re-read the docs more closely after reading your comment. It says you need to enter svg only for non-rectangular symbols, but it's not clear if you can create or modify a pad shape other than circular or rectangular from within the tool. Obviously good progress, and more than I understood when I wrote my previous comment. That's minimum viable for many to start using it, so my concerns are addressed.

The slow flight termination system was especially terrifying: What should have been an unzip-boom was more like a slowly deflating balloon that took 50 seconds to go boom. If the rocket went out of control at low altitude, someone or something would have been bombed with the largest human created non-nuclear explosion (a fast FTS reduces damage by at least an order of magnitude). At least this will get resolved by the next flight.

The fear of talking to women being based on some kind of ancient perceived threat is entirely conjecture. It is far more likely to be learned behavior from culture, media, and just regular social dynamics.

Real relationships are rarely being formed through Tinder. Tinder is hardly what "everyone" is doing either. There was a recent study suggesting young adults forming relationships with partners that were existing friends ~50% of the time. Tinder and other apps in more socially affluent circles in my experience is looked down on as trashy.

This person really read a poem to his fling? That reads so bizarre. The fact that the person thought he "would be taller" when they first met up was already a red flag. Doing something as strange as that in 2023 on top of it...

All that said, there appears to - still - be some lack of clarify between various government departments on this front. Not sure why, because the UK is now a third-country and that should be the end of that.

You're going to need to show me a cite that wind turbines freezing was a major part of the problem during the big Texas freeze a couple years ago. Just because Abbott says it was doesn't make it so; he was outright lying (as he often does).

It is more accurate to say that the real problem was the failure of ERCOT & etc to winterize any part of the grid, which led to failures of transmission and/or generation across the board, for every source type.

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/02/15/texas-power-grid-win...

Gas is the biggest source of power in Texas. While all power sources were poorly winterized, the failure to prepare the fossil fuel infrastructure hurt the most because gas provides more power than wind or solar in the Texas grid.

And, of course, almost NOTHING has been done about this failure despite how close the state came to a weeks-long power grid failure, and virtual no one has been held responsible.

It works for all types of data. You can say "Give me objects similar to water" and have it return words like "liquid" and "juice," pictures of water, the water drop emoji, and babbling brook and rain storm sound files.

It all depends on how you produce the vectors before storage. The vector database just stores them.

Streaming. What if the part(s) are being generated on the fly, and don't exist to have a length? Requiring that the sender specify the length up front requires the length to be known.

Actually this is the second cleanest type of fuel possible. (The best being hydrogen.) When they blew it up they released a ton of methane, which is bad for global warming, but otherwise isn't toxic.

> Or has demand just grown because of cheaper electricity due to more supply being available.

The world have an ever increasing demand for more electricity. Even though we add lots of wind and solar generation every year. It is not enough to meet the increase in demand. However, we are very close, and 2023 [1] could be the year where we could see an actual decline of fossile fuel usage for electricity generation for the first time.

Masks for doctors and nurses in hospitals is to prevent blood spills and other liquids or large enough stuff. Not viruses.

For example a dentist that wants to prevent having blood or saliva splashed in their face when operating.

I have an actual mask with an air filter for viruses. It costs a lot of money, it covers hermetically my whole face including eyes, and each filter only lasts for 30 minutes under viral environments.

In general the best you can get for virus protection is a pressure positive suit:

It's double encrypting the traffic. SSH is completely unaware that there's a tunnel moving this data over the Internet, that's being done by the "Quicssh" proxy in their diagram which is software at both ends doing QUIC.

If you were building this into SSH itself you'd have to do a bunch of work to arrange to do SSH-style KEX instead of the TLS KEX that QUIC would normally use, and then do SSH-style proof-of-identity for the server and client, rather than the equivalent TLS mechanisms. Once you have a shared secret, there's no reason QUIC streams aren't a drop-in replacement for the SSH encrypted TCP streams, thus no double encryption needed. It's definitely possible to design this, and maybe it's even worth somebody's time to do it, although my instinct is that won't be OpenSSH people.

It would make no sense for the IETF to standardise a "not-encrypted mode" for QUIC given BCP 188 "Pervasive Monitoring Is An Attack".

Dropbox layoffs: AI to blame for 16% job cut, CEO says
Keep in mind that this isn't as simple as changing a YAML file to say "vo2Capacity: 2" instead of "vo2Capactiy: 1". Genes encode proteins, and those proteins perform functions based on their shapes. "Increased VO2 capacity" means making a gene that encodes a protein that has follow-on effects that accomplish that goal, which we really have no consistently good idea of how to do.

We can, for instance, add genes to plants to produce substances that bugs don't like and we can eliminate genes from animals that inhibit growth. It's not insurmountable to edit genes to "do more" or "do less"—if the answer is making more or making less of a protein we already know about. But changing the design of something is a hard challenge that we aren't good at. If increasing VO2 capacity was something that could have evolved as a beneficial mutation by way of increasing or decreasing the presence of a protein, it probably would have happened. But the fact that it hasn't either means increased VO2 capacity isn't great (eliminating muscle growth inhibition, as it turns out, isn't great) or requires more than just tweaking a protein amount.

Which is to say, gene editing is the ability to change the code. It requires separate capabilities to know what to change it to. This news is great for areas of research like cancer treatment (imagine taking a puff from an inhaler to cure your cancer, which is just ~2 gene mutations!) but much less exciting for "enhancements".

But I think there is a saving grace to your thinking that justices' views were cemented at birth/confirmation.

One of the respect-worthy things about Scalia (even Thomas) is that they believe(d) that what the Constitution says, should be followed. One of their fundamental differences with, say, the more liberal justices, is that you should not read new/updated rights into a document that says what it says. If on the other hand you say that justices should adapt to what the current interpretation of a document implies, then maybe it goes your way, but someone interpreting modern values differently might equally conflict with what you want.

In that sense their position is clear and stable. They don't agree that the rights you're claiming are found in the Constitution.

How then, do you change that or turn it to your advantage? You make laws and amend the Constitution to change the ground rules of society over time. And justices that take the above approach will, if they are reputable, continue to follow their adherence to what the Constitution (updated) says.

Now, as I said above, our system seems to be quite dysfunctional right now in that a lot of issues cannot be decided by society given our political reality right now. But having a court decide an issue when 50% of people disagree will not gain it any credibility, or resolve it for society.
This article is nice to read, but I believe that some of the arguments are quite flawed. I doubt that empirical evidence is helpful in this context.

Some references to studies are used to make bold statements. The ones on static vs dynamic typing for example, may look scientific, but scanning GitHub repositories or comparing student assignments does not convince me much about professional applications. It just seems nearly impossible to say something evidence based about this topic. Perhaps rewriting the entire Linux kernel along with all its drivers in Rust might be a nice approach. If it were done in parallel, starting in 1991.

Also, applying results from studies in one domain to another is a red flag to me: if productivity drops for construction crews working extra hours, I fail to see how one can conclude that the same holds for software developers. Of course the conclusion is likely, but I don't need a scientific paper for that. The study was from 1980, mind you.

Too bad, because the premise is really interesting and thought provoking. Focusing on the human factor in software development makes a lot of sense.
