Standard SLAAC only uses 64-bit prefixes. This is a problem if you want subnets and have an uncooperative ISP handing out 64-bit prefixes. Or maybe you have a /48 or /56 but want a nice readable hierarchy of subnets.

You don't even need 64 bits. IIRC with SLAAC you send NDP messages to the entire broadcast domain. So you need broadcast-domain-sized (i.e., small) device counts on every data-link-layer subnet. So why assign /64? But because some devices won't give up if SLAAC routers aren't there and and some mysteriously default to SLAAC when they shouldn't and in fact some devices only use it, now every bottom level subnet has to be /64. Blech.

This is just one of many IPv6 annoyances that don't even need to exist.
I write LaTeX pretty much every day (math graduate student), and I like LaTeX quite a bit. It's a piece of software that solves a difficult problem, and after the (admittedly nearly vertical) learning curve, you can quite easily produce beautiful documents with it. It's a reproducible, programmatic solution. However, it is also clear that there's quite a lot of legacy pains within the language, much of which occurs when trying to stretch the macro system.

If you're interested in this (and already know LaTeX), consider reading the full expl3 design document:

https://texdoc.org/serve/expl3/0

I don't know if LaTeX is what I'll be writing in the future (at least, hopefully not in its current incarnation). I'm keeping my eyes open for a language with a similar design philosophy, but, frankly, it's a monumental effort to write anything similar, let alone build the community around it (packages, but also journal styles, etc.).

I don't really know, but I suspect it still isn't very good for that use case. There simply isn't much overlap between those communities.

I think the resort fee is a way to get around either lodging taxes or franchise royalties, as they might specifically apply to lodging portion of a hotel room’s price.

According to the newspapers in Las Vegas, which report on this frequently since it's the resort fee capitol of the world, the resort fees are used to lower the base price of the hotel rooms so they look more attractive on third-party web sites.

Resort fees are still taxable.

I'm in awe.

For me, bioremediation is sci-fi made real. It was all hypothetical back in the 90s. (I was volunteering at an org trying to save PNW salmon from extinction.)

Developers were being allowed to pave critical habitat in exchange for creating "wetlands" somewhere else. But no one knew how to do that. And many were skeptical it could even be done.

> restore the riverbed by adding gravel

https://youtu.be/ZgItGjKu4mQ?t=415

So important.

Same info pulled from the accompanying article https://planetwild.com/blog/how-were-reviving-a-poisoned-riv...

"By filling up the river bed with a specific kind of gravel, multiple things happen... [ new breeding grounds, water cleansing, oxygenation, natural overflow, new habitats]"

One tidbit I learned about PNW salmon is that all the varieties need very specific conditions, like the kind of gravel, to successfully reproduce.

It's makes me so frikkin happy to learn that people are now routinely doing stuff we only dreamed about just a few decades ago.
Update on the Name of Kotlin Multiplatform
I’d just like to point out, because this isn’t obvious to some folks but all “fees” are bullshit charges. Fees are charges made up by the organizations writing the bill. I personally believe all fees should be illegal or included in the price. I don’t get to write -$5 on my bill because I feel like it; so, why can an organization do that in reverse?
Don't get me wrong, I want to believe (tm) as much as anyone, but this particular part of the story has a lot working against it:

* They do seem to have good knowledge of materials science (although I have no way to judge), but the rest of their twitter history, which is all we have to go on, doesn't inspire confidence.

* This person decided to replicate this experiment on a whim, as a distraction (because they couldn't stream a movie that night, according their tweets), while serious labs around the world have been trying frantically for several days, without any results.

* This person refuses to submit a video ("bad tone") or any additional footage of their achievement, despite it being the most unique and world-changing compound on the planet.
I think higher education is still important.

What I have noticed is that "entrepreneur" in the age of social media has become almost synonymous with scams—doubly so among those without a college degree. I can't even avoid it. Every time I open Facebook or Instagram, every 3rd or 5th post is some kind of scam. The vast majority or reels are scams. People aren't aspiring to be landscapers or start real businesses and a lot of people don't even know the difference between a real business and some kind of scam that they saw on TikTok.

Higher education also doesn't have to be expensive. It can be as expensive as you want it to be, even today. You can get a great education from a state school. You can even offload the first two years to community college if you really want to save money.

- you have to open the refrigerator door to get at the freezer

Not to mention that this freezer is likely:
1. Not self-defrosting, and likely to build up ice since you open the door each time you open the fridge.
2. Definitely less convenient. I have a fairly cheap, small refrigerator - one that fits in my attic apartment - and the freezer has pull-out drawers. Since it sits under the fridge, this is usually nice.

Yeah, ovens last more or less forever, and haven't had significant efficiency gains in a long time. They're probably the thing you're least likely to want to replace. There's often far more of an incentive with, say, fridges; if you have a 20 year old one, the replacement will likely pay for itself in a few years in power savings.

Maybe it's an American Rugged Individualism thing.

A few programmers on HN think only they use laptops (and specifically Macbooks). Not surprising.

If you just bother to open your eyes just a little bit wider you would notice that there is a huge market for Chromebooks, budget laptops, gaming laptops, mobile workstations, ultrabooks for students, gamers, business people, bankers etc. New things are happening every month. We are seeing more efficient laptops from Intel and AMD. Companies like Framework are doing actual innovations in the decade old laptop area. And there are workflows that can only be done on Windows.

Your claim is completely unfounded.
When I think about how long chips like the 6502 have still been in active use (almost 50 years now), it is hard to conceive of a world where there isn't a significant presence of x86 activity for the rest of my life.

The majority of 'the market' may go elsewhere, but for a gazillion reasons, x86 will not be disappearing for quite a while. At this point it would honestly surprise me if we didn't at least have high quality emulation available until the end of the human race as we know it.

Sure, we've probably lost most of the software ever written on it, but a whole lot of interesting artifacts from a key transition point for our species still remain locked up in this architecture.
The social event is similar. But the experiment is nothing alike.

>> Even taxes should be included in prices.

Many people are dumb as bricks and hold insanely weird beliefs such as "if the displayed prices include tax, you will become desensitized and won't notice it if the government increases the tax rate!" or "I want to know exactly how much is going to the business and how much is going to the government!" Some US states have even codified this and explicitly ban tax-included pricing.

This is also why people will fight tooth-and-nail against very obvious methods to drastically simplify things, such as by having the IRS handle your taxes for you and simply send you an "is this correct or do you need to make changes?" form every year.
They're not arguing that Apple doesn't sell laptops, they're refuting that "Windows, Intel, AMD and Nvidia have [...] given the laptop market to Apple". Unless one thinks the laptop market only exists in the US, this idea simply can't match reality, not yet anyway.
Child labor has been a thing since well before any market ever existed. Slavery has always existed and was made obsolete not due to some new moral prerogative but because it couldn’t compete with new labor saving devices. Sweatshops are basically the same as slavery and mostly exist in places which have not fully accepted free markets or where the value placed on human life is shockingly low. They can only obtain workers because their economy is absolutely unbalanced - there is no reason to believe a market wouldn’t fix that eventually. Regarding environmental catastrophes, that seems to be a result of technological advancement more so than “markets”, but markets are the thing that is most probably going to bring the third world out of poverty and make them actually care about it.

The only reason people like us are able to sit and argue on HN is because we aren’t worried about finding dinner for our 8 kids tonight. We live privileged lives.

Well since aws has been hugely profitable, you can easily argue it was simply priced in. I guess they did buy a lot of their ips when they were much cheaper, but it's similar to buying and holding land in many ways.

Startups that build their business on mere financialization of market arbitrage have a tendency become like the industry they sought to disrupt.

I think it’s because ultimately it produces no value and simply brokers, and brokers tend to end up representing the financial interest of the more powerful or financially enriching party to the brokering equation.

So, they have come to serve the landholder’s interests and no longer provide reliability to the consumer, and that is ultimately because the consumer is not the actual customer, merely the input to the product — nights booked per host.

I think it's part of a larger trend.

They say the U.S economy is going through a crazy tech makeover that is totally messing up how people work, hustle, munch, splurge, swipe, binge, and sleep, right? It's disruption and innvation of everything! Right?

Sometimes I wonder if this tall tech tale we have been telling ourselves is more of a big scam — that maybe the last 30 years have been more of a waste of time than we realize and not many things that are huge have really changed in daily life in ways that deeply matter.

People dreamed of jetpacks and got cat videos instead.

We disrupted the hotel industry to have the hotel industry recreated. We disrupted taxis and got Uber taxis. Restaurants got disrupted to create virtual restaurants with delivery. We disrupted television to create Google TV, which is basically television + the Internet but not really that different. We disrupted retail so we could have Internet retail where the primary innovation is again just delivery, and everything is a race to the bottom -- side effects be damned.

We’ve made efficiencies, massively, but sometimes I wonder why the real impact of all this "innovation and disruption" seems actually quite mild, and substantive disruption is so few and far between.

In the end I wonder if we have made technological advancements, but we haven’t made much actual progress. We have such a bias for the new, it tends not to be a popular opinion. But so much of this technology innovation just leads us to create new versions of the same old, because the incentives are to financialize and exploit financial advantage and to reconcentrate wealth and fortune, not actually innovate.

It's perhaps not the most thought out thesis, but I wonder about it, and whenever Airbnb comes up it brings this question up for me. I mean landing rockets changes the economics of space… we have innovation. It’s just that most of it just seems to be merely a greater efficiency of delivery masquerading as “disruption.”
> Socialism is the single most failed idea in human history, yet we refuse to properly teach that in our education system.

Well... let's see until we have the capitalist end game before we draw that conclusion, there is a fair chance that it will make the failures of socialism look like a picnic.

> I suspect in the future it will be view a bit like refusing to teach other scientific subjects, like evolution.

Economic systems aren't science, they are just means of organizing large numbers of people in ways that are hopefully sensible. A system that maximizes for growth can work, for a while, but isn't long term sustainable. So depending on your horizon you may think it is a great idea or a terrible one. Markets aren't bad per-se, but they have the potential to lead to catastrophe and if you don't acknowledge that potential and deal with the risk then the chances of it happening increase.
I think VRBO shows you the full cost for your visit (not in the nightly rate though!) while AirBnB shows you some subtotal presented as as the total cost, then when you start clicking through you get the "real" total cost. By that point you're already engaged though, so mission accomplished? I don't think I'd ever book a hotel through Airbnb - what's the benefit?
I think the thing that makes this death stand out from the usual run-of-the-mill fatal accident was the fact that the victim was normal and healthy when the accident occurred but could cognizantly look forward to his inevitable death over the next month and there was nothing --absolutely nothing -- that could be done to avoid it. All he could do was get his affairs in order and then sit and wait through the oncoming suffering.

It's not the accidental death, it's the prolonged psychological horror that makes it so tragic.
The extra time it takes to process a TCP request compared to ICMP traffic is the same regardless of whether or not you're using an edge computing platform. It seems to me that what actually matters is the difference in latency, not the absolute numbers.

That's why I think the article is incorrect when it claims that running an app in US East "adds an extra 100-150ms of latency". Not all of this is "extra". Only about 55ms are.

> taxpayers holding 30% of its outstanding stock.

It's always amusing that they frame this as the lowly taxpayer holding stock in a company after the government bails a company out. I've never received the stock certificates, and I certainly don't see any dividends or have the ability to sell my commensurate portion of the stock holdings. The taxpayer pays for the bailouts but does not see any benefit for doing so.

Just a note; these scrips are not comparable in monstrosity as the first is about to initiate the project when as the second one is to initiate whole PyPy installation.

There is a lot of variance in what an IP costs in practical terms. If you need to go out and get a new IP block then that pricing should roughly break even in 1 year. In that sense, it might significantly increase the time to break even and long term margins for that type of service.

For ultra cheap VPSes IPv6 only options are becoming available for just this reason.
