That was an important part of the US work on nuclear reactors for power, but as far as work on a bomb went (from your link):

> Like the German researchers, Fermi and Szilard still believed that enormous quantities of uranium would be required for an atomic bomb, and therefore concentrated on producing a controlled chain reaction. [1]

The impetus for a bomb and the fundemental work came from outside of the USofA:

> At the University of Birmingham in March 1940, Otto Frisch and Rudolf Peierls examined the theoretical issues involved in developing, producing and using atomic bombs in a paper that became known as the Frisch–Peierls memorandum. [2]

> On 5 August 1941, Oliphant flew to the United States in a B-24 Liberator bomber, ostensibly to discuss the radar-development program, but was assigned to find out why the United States was ignoring the findings of the MAUD Committee. [2]

> Leo Szilard later wrote, "if Congress knew the true history of the atomic energy project, I have no doubt but that it would create a special medal to be given to meddling foreigners for distinguished services, and that Dr Oliphant would be the first to receive one." [2]

Thanks, Dan. This is a classic (as was almost everything Clay Shirky wrote).
It has a couple of killer use cases like drawing, watching videos, reading comics, sheet music, etc, but it's terribly overpriced and the hardware is seriously wasted.

After the honeymoon phase I only used it for watching YouTube in bed at night which was a terrible habit. So I got a Kindle and gave it away to a family member after months of not using it.

If it could run macOS apps now that would be a game changer.
Not OP, but my opinion is that I want to die when I'm supposed to, and I want everyone else to also. Time is the great equalizer, and the well to do's should not be able to purchase more.

The last time I wrote this opinion, I was met with everything from 'just kill yourself' to 'quit trying to control my life.'

Funny bunch here.
Reminds me of

as well as the brief time I used "jasomilldotat@jasomill.at" as my own email address.
I searched for a name. It autocorrected (a la "Results for ...") to a similar word, but did not show that anywhere (there was no "Results for..."), and there was no way to change that (enforce my literal search phrase).

Looking at the comments below this seems extremely untested.
I got a i7-7700k which is more recent and cheaper than that, so it's overall a good deal.

EDIT: just the mobo, CPU and RAM is $300 on eBay. And let me know which hackerspace has a dedicated maintenance team, SLA guarantees, unlimited traffic. Apples and oranges. I'm trying to run a business here, not run a Minecraft server.

Should I really be penny-pinching on what is $50/mo? It's two pizzas, at current market rates.
The article is more about bundling together lambda functions into horizontally scalable containers. Paraphrasing the author:

> I think the prime video team's presentation should have been called "Moving from lambda to container microservices"

There is nothing particularly bad about this move. Prototype something in a FaaS, move it to a container based microservices when you know which features you want and how they perform.

Not doing much FaaS prototyping myself but I agree with the author that FaaS beats containers in time to production (even if the difference might be negligible in some cases)

It doesn't bother me.

Every single one of my ancestors for the last 3.5 billion years has died. It is part of existence.

50, 60, 100 more years? Great! Then I can pile on knee, hip, back, and wrist regeneration surgeries. Then extensive therapy to keep my brain from degrading. Also new teeth and corneas. Oh and the heart is going to need a lot of work if it starts beating for twice as long as it was designed to. Plus constant maintenance for the skin as it soaks up an entire second lifetime's worth of UV.

Just a never-ending cycle of expensive, likely painful, time-consuming all-consuming patches on the body to delay the inevitable.

Just kill me already.

Maybe eventually they'll find a path to immortality.

That would be even worse. I imagine the joy would drain out of sunsets if you've seen a billion of them, with them being as noteworthy as every time your eye blinks.

You think anti aging obsession is wild here? Wait until you see the anti crypto obsession
What about the emails you receive in the period after Google fucks you, but before your new MX records propagate?
Of course. Some of them are awful and some of them are fine. You might as well reason that 'Apple is a corporation; corporations are essentially large bureaucracies; therefore anything produced by Apple will embody all the flaws of bureaucracy.' And indeed many people make arguments like this here on HN daily, arguing that large companies can't innovate because they're simply not agile enough.

It's not that bureaucracies can't be terrible, they absolutely can. But it's overly simplistic to argue that they're constitutionally terrible by virtue of merely existing.
Routers don't care about the TCP header though, they only care about the 20 bytes of IP header. The interfaces on the router also care about the 14 byte MAC header, but that's a separate step.

That said I agree that the world likely would have sucked it up and just gone with the 64 bit addresses, but there would have been a whole lot of grumbling for decades about the memory use. It's hard to imagine these days, but back then memory was outrageously expensive and enormous amounts of engineering went into minimizing memory use wherever possible. Having these addresses where we wouldn't even touch half of the bits for decades would have been unpopular with a lot of people, even if he would have been praised for being so forward thinking in the end.

On the other hand, the transition to IPv6 does give us a chance to fix some of the longstanding defects in IPv4 that would otherwise be baked into the protocol until the end of time, so it's not all bad.
I think one key issue here is that Scrum without Extreme Programming and rigorous iteration can become a shallow process. Often, products that don't undergo much iteration are broken into arbitrary two-week windows under the guise of iteration.

However, Scrum doesn't make much sense if you don't continuously iterate. Another symptom of this is people measuring velocity instead of value created. To properly implement Scrum, you actually need to measure the impact of the work completed in the past two weeks. Unfortunately, most teams don't do this, instead they focus on measuring velocity since it's easier and within their control. It's worth noting that it's completely fine for teams not to constantly iterate and change direction (including high-performing teams), and in those cases, Scrum simply isn't the best tool for the job imo.

I must admit that I personally prefer Kanban for almost all workloads.
Actually the full name is “Turbo Rascal Syntax error, “;” expected but “BEGIN” - and I wonder if the unmatched quotation marks are another in-joke (but I doubt it, because strings in Pascal actually use single quotes). I would have used "begin expected but { found" instead (an error that someone used to C-like languages might encounter - OTOH, this isn't really realistic, because a Pascal parser would treat any "{...}" block as a comment).
It probably would've been better for routers to set a "truncated" bit and chop off the rest of the packet.

UDP-based applications would have to do MTU discovery, but that's much easier when you're receiving truncated packets.
Go out on the street and ask the average person what they think about crypto and NFTs.
I've lately been frustrated by Stack Overflow and similar because of how they handle XY problems. For those not familiar with the term, an XY problem is where someone wants to accomplish X, they think that to do this they need to do Y, and they ask for help with Y. It often turns out that Y is not actually what they need in order to accomplish X. They should have been asking about Z.

XY problems are common enough that people on SO often won't answer a question asking how to do Y until the submitter explains their X. If it turns out some Z is what the person really needs the answerers explain that and show how to do Z.

Great for the person who asked the question. They learn how to accomplish what they actually wanted.

But it sucks when I actually need to know how to do Y, and all searching SO turns up is those XY problems.

Even more annoying I'm pretty sure I've run into ones where someone who really needed to do Y asked, noting that previous questions about Y all failed to actually tell how to do Y, and their question was quickly closed as a duplicate of one of the earlier XY problems that doesn't actually tell how to do Y.
For PROfessional graphics designers, photographers and journalists, it is.
This is not how routers look at it though. Routing is performed on the destination IP address, which is only 32 bits.

Doubling from 32 to 64 would have had a significant impact on routing table size and it would have dropped the back pressure to keep it from growing too quickly for TCAMs.

It would certainly be nice today, but it’s not a sure thing it wouldn’t have been killed off as “bloated” when there weren’t even 2^12 hosts.
So it’s like only getting three seasons of Buffy?
No, it wouldn't have been. Where are you going to put that extra byte? How is an intermediate box going to know what to do with it? How is a routing ASIC going to handle it?

This is thinking which appeals to people who don't understand the problem because it feels like a compromise, but you can't negotiate with silicon. If it expects a 4 byte address payload, then that's all it will ever handle.

Adding more bytes is exactly the same amount of redesign and replacement work as adding more. If the problem was solely software related, it would've been done by now.
What if its not constant patches and repair work, but something that slows the degradation entirely so you end up with less health issues up until the point you get cancer and die anyway. But you enjoyed more of that time fitter and healthier.

This might be the most blatant and transparent pump attempt I've ever seen. Interesting to see if it will work.
I don't see how passkeys would be better for that (or for anything, really) than simply letting the browser autogenerate a password and save it in its built-in password manager?
No it doesn't. The architecture of the platform (like the crummy one that undergirds Mastodon) is what leads to that. Again: microblogs don't need to be any more complicated than a static site.

If you have the latest issue of Creed Thoughts in your word processor, then it's easier than ever to get a URL for it. Choose ".html" when you hit "Save As..." rather than ".docx", and then sign up for one of the unending supply free static file hosts.

unfortunately the way web search is implemented in bing chat kind of hamstrings it from that point forward. You miss out the LLM extrapolating from a million other scenarios accross the subject domain in order to come up with possible explanations or approaches. Likewise it is not searching every page multiple adjascent topics to find something on the web that is deeply burried or going by another name because of resource constraints.
Usually the complaints come from the fields that assume PRO == software engineers only, followed by developers == UNIX.

That's fine, you and your ilk can get old on your own, suffer from the degradation of health and consequently quality of life caused by aging, and eventually die from old age, we won't stop you.

The rest of us will support the relevant research, and use the results to remain young or to be young again, possibly lasting for millennia.
Actually it needs to use an HTTP API (because Web Extensions can't send actual DNS requests?): https://github.com/jessejanderson/skylink/blob/a698dd56eda26...

and it looks like it's only resolving domains to DIDs, but not that the DID's owner accepted the domain; so you could make any of your domains point to anyone's DID. The extension would need to use ATP's new protocol to check it.
I imagine a bigger problem with your hypothetical might be the sheer mass of such a thing. Plus, you underestimate just how mind-bogglingly huge 2^64 is. (Granted, the IPv6 address space is going to very quite sparsely populated, but still.)

I mean, the estimate on the number of atoms in the observable universe is "only" 10^80, for comparison.
> “I thought 32 bits ought to be enough for Internet addresses”. “I didn’t pay enough attention to security”. “I didn’t really appreciate the implications of the World Wide Web.”

Most experiments, prototypes, and even full blown systems designed for the long term die well before 30-40 years and those extra addresses and features would ever be needed.

Much more human effort is wasted prematurely 'future proofing' systems and trying to predict the future. The brilliance of TCP/IP is its simplicity - if it had got more complex perhaps it would have been replaced in its entirety. We could be using Gopher over OpenDECNet.
Definitely a real phenomenon. Obscure overengineering also serves another purpose: if you want to build a mini-empire, people leave you alone because they don’t have time to fully grok your design, so they can’t provide meaningful feedback. In these companies the burden-of-proof falls on the critic of a design, not the designer. Simply saying “this looks too complex” is treated as “oh, they couldn’t understand this sophisticated piece of engineering”. This is a cultural issue. If your peers don’t grok it quickly, you should return to the drawing board, or at least provide evidence for the extraordinary circumstances that warrants all that complexity.
I would be very happy if my body can stay young and not necessarily live longer. That's what anti-age means right? Not pro-long your life necessarily, but to live younger, so I don't have to care about my knee problem when exercise.
You don't need Kanban, you just need to do Scrum right.

It seems most people who are complaining about Scrum, are really complaining about the lousy implementation of it in their company. Which tends to be the result of lousy management.
With lousy management, any process will be a pain. Doing Kanban with a manager behind your desk asking why your feature is not ready yet isn't a pleasure either.

There also seems to be some misunderstanding about speed of development and Scrum; some posters are complaining that Scrum slows them down. Yes it does! And this is on purpose. Scrum focusses on delivering business value, not on delivering lines of code that possibly nobody needs.
So there are moments in the development process when feedback is gathered from stake holders. This is important, because it gives them an opportunity to adjust what's being built, or even switch to a more important feature altogether.
The downside is that this takes time. But the upside is that you will have far greater chance of delivering something that is actually needed.

Serverless in the way we do it today is the best example of something that is impossible to debug.

Every choice people have to make in tech today comes with this crazy tradeoff of where you get some benefit like scalability, but then it becomes impossible to debug or change.

What's crazy about modern tech is that we've created a world where its so difficult to change things that its analogous to building pipes under asphalt roads. You have to spend all night with a construction crew digging up the road just to change a small thing, and then you have to put it all back again. Except that we work with digital stuff (any physical stuff is completely abtracted) where we can theoretically change anything instantly. The fact that we use shipping container analogies is ironic, if you've ever seen how long shipping loading/unloading and transport actually takes. We need to get back to the computer as the bicycle of the mind...at the moment it is not.

I think we will look back on this era of tech as we do to the era of the secretary on the typewriter...and laugh at the inefficiency.
That's fair, in my mind he had been rediscovered somewhere in the 2010s, but it looks like that might have happened much earlier.

The dying part bothers me less than the aging. I'd be fine dying at the "normal" age, but I'd rather do so with a healthier body than my grandparents.

And telling other people when they should die is sorta messed up. Ignore these anti-aging medications, should people be cut off other medicines at a certain point? What's the difference?

Anti-aging is a hard problem, Rapamycin is most certainly not the most powerful anti-aging drug from my best understanding, it just targets 1 of 7 or 8 critical areas that are implicated in the aging formula.

With competent DNS providers, DNS can be authenticated very easily through DNSSEC. Whether other people bother to validate that authentication is a whole other problem, but enabling it really doesn't have to be all that hard.

the problem is that not so many people are reading western "news" inside Russia, you see.. And it is not because people cannot translate them with yandex..

and they don't have to lie to their population about "troll factories" as you do, it is just that Russians understand what you really are, and that " war against Ukraine" is not exactly against "Ukraine"..

You are ceo for life in corporate America. Kidding aside, your mistake is assuming that the system works. It does, but not in your favor.
Not knowing Prolog (or any other "4th gen declarative langauge", besides from SQL), I don't know if it's any different but my main peeve with anything fully declarative is that it can be deceiving. One expression computes fine and then you change it in a seemingly insignificant way and suddenly it's three orders of magnitude slower, because underneath the surface, it still translates into loops and jumps, only now you don't know which ones.
Totally with you. But since I'm currently preparing to get certified for Scrum, I'd like to point out that all those things you mentioned above aren't really part of Scrum at all...
I don't know enough about thermal sensors to say with confidence and haven't looked up the spec sheet on this one at all.

> Do you want to live forever, Harry?"

It would be interesting to see how society will change when we can make ourselves permanently healthy. Maybe people who want to die will start taking extreme risks like sky-diving or Russian roulette but the above quote stands imo. If you don't want to live any more sounds to me like you have a psychological problem. I don't mean that 80 year olds, that have a dozen physical problems and struggle to do anything and therefore want to die because life is unbearable, have a psychological problem but if you're young, healthy and still find no pleasure in living then maybe you should see a therapist. Maybe the psychological part of living forever needs to be solved too
