Going down rabbit holes and getting something out of it is fine, but that doesn't always happen.

Sometimes people are just frustrated and spinning their wheels, or doing work that turns out to be pointless because they failed to understand something which would have been clarified by a short conversation.
Glad I found this comment:)
> If you expect corporations or government to just Do The Right Thing when it's not in the interest of those in power, without regulation or continual threat of loss of power or market share, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

That's the whole point? Enshittification is a response to the idea the capitalism optimizes for the consumer, when instead it points out that it optimizes for the business. It doesn't provide a solution, but it at least names the problem.
Sounds like a great thing — until the orbits of the rest of the planets destabilize and Earth gets ejected from the solar system.

'Tho if we have the technology and energy to move gas giants into different orbits, we probably have the capacity to actively keep Earth in a proper orbit (and imparting that much energy into the crust might make some interesting phenomena)

That is not accurate to our experience. Mobile devices on cell networks see about the same amount of success with p2p connections as other devices. Mobile networks differ vastly in their behaviors when it comes to NAT traversal, and you can certainly find specific carriers that behave poorly, but it's far from the death of p2p that you describe.

That said, you _do_ need last-resort relaying, not just for the more difficult mobile networks but for all kinds of edge cases (e.g. the UC Berkeley guest wifi case I mentioned in the article). So in that sense, the purist argument is that p2p is impossible since you will always need to have relaying as an option. But the key is that p2p works well enough to make the relays economically viable to operate, and that _some_ connectivity is usually sufficient, even if it's not the theoretically optimal connectivity.

Plus, IPv6 continues to be deployed (and AWS charging for IPv4 is another step on that path), so while some CGNAT deployments work to degrade p2p, IPv6 in parallel is restoring better p2p connectivity than IPv4's allowed for decades. It's not all roses, but it's possible to be optimistic about a future where cloud servers aren't the only option.
IPv6 might still be more secure; granted, with IPv6 you would have direct access to devices you know, but blind enumeration of other LAN devices would take more time that literally scanning the entire IPv4 internet.

Can you also ELI5 why this seemed like such a hard problem to solve up until now? Was it something hiding in plain site?
they must not look at anything other than the top directory, then, because this repo's sidebar only says "Apache-2.0 license" which I grant is clarified down at the _bottom_ of the README but if that multi-license thing really wants to be helpful it should at least look one subdirectory down
My wife told me straight out, she wasn't attracted to me when we first met, but after spending some time with me, she became attracted to me on an emotional level and the physical attraction apparently followed, I can say the same for her, she was definitely classically attractive, but the more time I spent with her, the more attractive she became.

Before I met my wife I knew a different woman while we were in college, she wasn't classically attractive, and wasn't attractive to me, but we spent lots of time in the same social circles, and over time grew emotionally close, she apparently had been attracted to me the whole time, but I only started to see her as beautiful after over a year, we didn't end up exploring any of that for other reasons (and bullet dodged apparently because she started to go down a very damaging ideological path) but I could have seen that relationship blossoming into something much closer and it involved two people who most wouldn't consider attractive. beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder and claiming there is objective beauty is setting yourself up for failure.

Above all else, if you really want to live a better life, stop spending all day obsessing over people who have a bunch of physical attributes that society is telling you are desirable. Especially, if you rarely see people like that in real life. This includes, movies, tiktok, insta, and obviously, though possibly the hardest to cut, porn. All those give you a warped sense of what normal is and give you expectations that you will never actualize.
A lot of the toasters shown from 1910-1940s only toast one side of the bread at a time and have a flipping mechanism to then toast the other side. The flipping mechanisms seem like they would be nearly as expensive as just adding a second heating element. So is the reason for the one-sided toasting a constraint on how much electrical power was commonly available to homes 100 years ago?
> In the context of tech, this is true in general.

If this was true, forty plus years of outsourcing efforts would have turned the US tech landscape into a purely legal and sales market. It is not, thus it cannot be true.

> You can't be this ignorant. Indians flock to USA, Canada, Australia, UK and numbers that are only limited by the receiving country's immigration laws.

So you are saying that we could replace all the talent in the western hemisphere with Indian graduates, and, at the same time, too many Indians try to immigrate to these same countries?

If you knew anything about immigration law, you would understand that these two are mutually exclusive. Indians in the US or Canada will not be paid the same rates as in India.

Remote work requires more direct and straightforward communication. Ideally in writing only because then there's no bullshit happening off-the-record in calls where people are clearly just wasting time or trying to annoy other people with bullshit. You can notice this the most when someone who is not good at their job or not technical or not interested in the product is always resorting to calls and constant communication. That's micromanagement culture.

I do not think this means more communication. It means less time spent communicating and more time spent working on your area. What on earth are you all working on that requires constant communication?
Banks hide behind their machine learning/AI algorithms to debank people and small businesses they don't like (reputational risk). Banks also use such tools to debank people and businesses in the name of derisking, because their tools flag so. That's why cash is important in the society; otherwise, you would be forced out of the society by going cashless.

Governments (worst offenders being the Western ones) across the world have forced private parties to do the dirty work for them without any due process.

Uber has so many little annoyances that make it a miserable experience. I generally don't engage in the "recreational corporate hate" thing but it's one of the few companies and products I actively dislike.

The app is misleading and insulting to users' intelligence. Multiple times, I've requested a ride, been connected with a driver, and it's completely obvious that the dude is still sitting in his house and hasn't gotten into his car yet. Yet the app will show A) The car moving around pointlessly on the map, B) The wait timer diminishing from 10 minutes, to 9 minutes, 8 minutes, etc.

It's so transparent that some asshole PM in San Francisco thinks he's really clever and that lying to users will improve retention or whatever. Which also means he thinks users are clueless rubes that can't tell he's fucking lying to them.

This might improve short-term metrics - perhaps I'm slightly less likely to cancel the ride on any particular trip - but in the long term it makes me hate this company and avoid using them unless I'm absolutely forced to. There's a million other things in the app and user experience that cause similar mental friction and stress.

The result is that these days I'd much rather drive my car to the airport and pay for parking than take an Uber.
I didn't know who Daniel Penny is, and, after looking him up, are you for fucking real? The subway caused him a lot of trouble because he murdered a homeless guy?

There seems to be a bug in the regex in the video as well as the text below. [a-zA-z] is going to include the characters between Z and a as well as the upper and lower case letters. The claim by GPT that it matches "any letter (upper or lower case)" doesn't seem to catch it either for some reason.

The article doesn't specify how much time has passed, but it must not have been much (days, weeks, maybe months) there is something perverse in any mechanism that allows 800% grow of a debt in a short time.

It helps with accessibility, not with the problem that cashless is dangerous for democracy.

Everytime you pay anything with something else than cash, it is recorded: the amount, the time, the place, and the nature of the thing you buy.

There is no way to go to a gay bar (or another place loaded with consequences) without a trace. And this is needed for human dignity.

There is way to support a controversial political movement without a trace. And this is necessary for new idea to come up.

There is not way for kids to do dumb things without a trace. And this is necessary for growing.

There is no way to pay for something when electricity or network goes down. And this is necessary to deal with crisis.

Basically, cash buys humanity margin of maneuver, and a fallback against any decaying societal or technical system.

I think that it's fair to blame the specification. I don't think the problem is that the industry has changed, I think it's that there's a huge amount of friction and headache for shifting to it. I think that's because it was too large of a change all at once, combined with the initial specification having some real problems (that did eventually get mitigated in later specs).

I suspect that if IPv6 limited itself to just increasing the size of IP addresses, IPv4 would largely be a distant memory by now.

Citizens' Climate Lobby is a bipartisan group that includes former US congressional representatives. They advocate for a tariff on fossil fuels at point-of-entry into the US of $15 per ton of co2. The fees would be used to boost domestic clean energy production, making the US cleaner, more resilient, and more self-reliant while being revenue-neutral.

It took me about 60 seconds to do that research.

> The Canadian trucker protests of 2022 saw political protestors get bank accounts frozen

I get it, but given that the protest was funded by right-wing groups in the USA, is it really valid to call it just a Canadian trucker protest? I thought the reason for freezing the accounts was that Canada had laws against undeclared foreign funded political activities (like the USA does as well)?

And if it was cash, most countries already require you to declare, at the border, if you have more than $10k in cash (or untracked instruments of trade) when you pass through customs. I don't see a "right to cash" changing that, and the Canadian truck protest still wouldn't have been able to be funded by the Americans even if cash was used.

I was one of those juniors, the rapid shift to remote work ruined me. I had just moved to a new city where I knew no one to start a life doing the work I loved, and all at once I got told leaving my house was dangerous and to stay home alone all day staring at a screen to keep people safe, for 2+ years…

It’s great you value work life balance, but junior engineers suffered a lot (to different degrees), and you being on edge that remote work might be taken away from you is nothing compared to what I went through and haven’t recovered from.

We’re allowed to love our work and the people we do it with, that’s my ideal, just a because you hate it doesn’t mean everyone should
I've worked in cubicles and open space plans as well as remotely as a junior. It seems self-evident to me but maybe those who haven't experienced the various environments do not realize that in person it is much easier to ask a random question to a senior. You can poke them and have a small discussion that would flood a chatroom and take much longer to develop remotely, without feeling like you may be inconveniencing them or the rest of the team since you cannot see if they are busy, or you can follow them to the coffee machine and discuss issues that are not urgent but could use their input instead of just notifying them over chat at a random time that may or may not be convenient.

Working remotely I found myself constantly wasting time trying to figure things out on my own because I don't know if people are even online/active (spread out across the globe, another issue common with remote), if they are online I don't know if they have something more important to deal with at the moment, it is more difficult to extract information from seniors who are poor communicators - as good as they may be as ICs, most of my seniors will assume I should know every undocumented internal mess and it makes asking for more details intimidating. And I don't want to look like an idiot in writing! (lol, but I do feel that way sometimes)

If you want juniors to learn anything in a reasonable amount of time you have to give a bit of a shit and invest more time solely towards that especially in remote environments, seems that people just expect juniors to take the lead and force their way in though which isn't my style at all and if there isn't a common agreement and people are all just doing their thing it can come off as presumptuous to be bugging people left and right for the first months. Yes part of the problem is company culture not properly adapting to the environment, but I also haven't seen any change in the way we deal with communication since the Corona and of course seniors don't care because they got their job security.

That's not "turning off Unicode", that's just not installing fonts that deal with certain character ranges. Pretty sure whatever font you're using does support more than just bare ASCII, though.
Most people feel this way, but I think it's a mistake. There's always something to learn, even if a basic thing is missed.

Nah, the problem is ipv6 has been designed by a commitee for a lot of enterprise-ish features so the hobbyists have taken a look and postponed setting it up internally for when they have absolutely no choice.

I've asked for simple ipv6 tutorials in discussions on HN and elsewhere and whatever I got pointed at was always longer than the article we're discussing and incomplete.
