'NAT' and 'fine' do not belong in one sentence.

NAT requires stateful tracking of stateless protocols. It's a hack much larger than anything related to ipv6.

No, crazygringo's claim was that the economy crashed:

> When New Coke was introduced in 1985, it replaced the vanilla with vanillin, and the Madagascar economy crashed since that's where the vanilla comes from.
Setup works fine. Biggest issue was messing up the initramfs and the kernel-module build (I've used the now 2.2.0rc and before that git because I wanted to have overlayfs support and idmapped mounts - machines running docker and lxd - so everything is native in ZFS).

One issue to look out for is the activated features and the ZFS module in the kernel and in ZFSBootMenu - these should match as depending on the features it's not possible to import the pool otherwise.

zfsbootmenu just looks for kernels and boots them. If something fails you can go back to an older snapshot or use an older kernel - and you have an emergency shell.
The 2002 Überlingen midair collision
Maybe OP only watched baseball a long time ago, where runners could, say, smash the catcher at home plate to try to get him to drop the ball.

Those rules have also been changed and those plays are extremely rare, and also frowned upon by players.

However, the pitcher intentionally throwing a ball 90 mph at a batter's head because of some perceived slight is still part of the game.
>But the entire world wants to go to the US, Germany is not that attractive.

Germany, along with UK, Canada, AU, NZ, is attractive for all those for whom a US visa is out of reach, a.k.a. almost everyone.

Most international workers who can't get into US, go for the next best thing which is those countries.

The difference is US is better at absorbing more immigrants due to already being a melting pot and being the country with the fastest growing economy due to VC funding so importing more workers means more fuel on the fire.

VC funding is almost non-existent in most of those other countries so importing more workers in a stagnat economy, means just wage suppression and increasing housing costs.
Explainer: How to Weigh an Exoplanet
CBS neglects to mention that the editor of the paper also said that Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody was also being investigated by the paper for claims of sexual harassment.

"EM: So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things.

We had half a dozen or more different anonymous sources calling in about that. Well, we never ran that because we never could get any of them to go on the record, and we never could get his personnel file. But the allegations—including the identities of who made the allegations—were on one of the computers that got seized. I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it, but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid." [0]

The glaring omission in this post is how the startup could explain that it’s simulated functionality, presumably because the the subtext is to strategically omit that fact knowing the audience will often assume they’re not being defrauded.
I had high hopes for this new renderer, but it’s still not good enough. There’s a single frame lag when scrolling, it might not be noticeable to some people, but I do notice and it’s very annoying. There’s an issue opened: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/110431
And therefore, those that agree with the concepts I espoused, will look on and rejoice, those that disagree see one sentence, and give up.

I have been complimented.
Every enterprise I’ve ever worked for, including corporate giants running the backbones of modern finance ran tests on production. Post deploy smoke tests, fail over tests, small group alphas, test migration/roll backs etc.

Not being confident in your test plan is a sign of immaturity not maturity because at some point you are going to need to validate how something behaves in production.

There are a wide range of processes, procedures and software architectures to get you to being confident that your production testing is doing more good than harm for your customers but in an environment where you can deploy new software you are going to do some testing in production.

> And until we can start disabling v4, v6 gives no advantage and only causes significant added complexity.

v6 advantages:

* If you're an ISP, you need more complex hardware for CGNAT-v4 if your traffic is huge. If you do support v6, netflix, youtube and majority of your traffic is already on v6, you can get by without upgrading your CGNAT Infra.

* I suspect v6 should have faster initial connection - time to first byte, because of no NAT. I assume NAT is implied in v4 because if you're an ISP say in India where you have 1.2B mobile devices, you cannot buy 1/4th of all IPv4 addresses.

* Because of more IP addresses you can run VMs with public v6 addresses. It's not common to have ISPs give multiple IPv4 to a single customer, but with v6 that's always the case.
This comment would be more helpful if you could summarize the pitfalls of people relying upon ELv2. My impression of these variations is that they are generally used to protect themselves from a giant corp from using it to create a cloud service of some kind?

A good 13B model with decent prompting feels pretty on par with chatGPT (3.5) for general tasks, but can be configured to be quite good at very specific things.

What is a "general task" to you? People at work were using ChatGPT-4, langchain etc and I dont' really see them being any more special, useful, productive or available so I haven't been bothered to invest. In fact some of them seem to have slowed right down on their usuage if using it at all.

I can see that it might be fun to play with generating stories or whatever but I mean, what am I missing from not investing in these things?
I agree. I usually have hard copies of all pertinent documents when travelling.

In addition and on long distance trips I upload everything important to Dropbox. So, even if I lose the documentation I'm able to print it from a hotel or Internet Cafe (yes, they still exist)
This is pure ad hominem and not remotely responding to anything I actually said, but whatever.

I was politely asked a question, I politely gave an answer and set some context. You’re just being rude.
My alternative viewpoint is based on incentives. Money causes physical work to be done. It influences probability distributions. F = ma. A certain amount of money can only cause so much dirt to be hauled up a hill with a certain probability. You can't have an economy valued at $2000 that does 2000kwH of work and then go try to use $10 to do 500kwH of work, at least not in the long run. The only way to do it in the short run is if you're eating another economy and digesting their energy.

"Probably, but it might have taken longer, or they might have been invented in another country" Both of those are speculation, and are also highly unlikely. It might have also happened more quickly. The US had a handful of ecommerce companies in the .com boom which were right on Amazon's tail. The limiting factor was demand which is ultimately a form of incentive.

The limiting factor is not "great men" who are competent enough to get the job done, it's having a large enough pool of resources in the hands of someone or some institution which can decide to invest it in that thing. Competence doesn't have much to do with it. A severely incompetent person with a will and a large enough pool of resources can still get it done with a little luck. Musk had a will and a large enough pool of resources.

He was one of the first people whose life's wealth had almost no coupling to the pre-silicon valley US economy and who became rich after the internet had proliferated. He's not particularly competent, but he was able to dream a little bigger than previous generations of filthy rich people. His wealth wasn't tied to oil or the automobile industry, so he was able to see the value of moving off of it.

I think another factor that confuses people is that IMO society has a speed of information. Government policy tends to take a couple years to filter through, and then on top of that, there are statistical limits on the rate at which an individual or company can react to that, and re-channel money to appropriately take advantage of the new conditions. People seem to think that as soon as a government policy takes effect, things should start changing, but think of the mass of our society... the people, the buildings, the equipment... that all has inertia. Things don't happen in the real world at the speed they do on the internet.
I write a lot but don't publish anything anywhere. It's kind of like that bo burnham song "look who's inside again". I feel like when I share anything I think, no matter how revised, detailed or not, whatever advice followed, all I find is "another reason to hide again". feeling like having too much to say is a lot like having nothing at all to say in that it amounts to the same thing.

"I was building an outreach Tool for marketing something I believe meant to be TRUE (..)"

a) Please describe that "something TRUE"?

This wouldn't fall into the category of "I hold belief XYZ, others need help to be enlightened about XYZ", would it?

b) It's not hard to imagine abuses of this tool. Please give some examples, and why they would be okay?

And: no we won't bother (at least I won't). Your tool appears to have a community-hostile purpose, it's your job to justify its use.

"Continuous improvement isn't nearly as important as discontinuous improvement. Creativity is a discontinuity. A creative act breaks with the chain that has come before it. It's not continuous. One never becomes a leader by continuously improving -- that's imitation of the leader. You never become a leader by imitating them and improving slightly. You only become a leader by leapfrogging those who are ahead of you. And that comes about through creativity."

Love some of the sounds coming out of this; would be great to get a circuit diagram to get a better idea of how this is hooked up.

Is every output of the decade counter being used or just a single output making it a frequency divider (and other questions)?

If I understand correctly, the Gameboy is running a sequencer, presumably outputting to the speaker, so how is that hooked into the leached information from the various parts of the Gameboy?

A Novel Method to Predict Autoimmune Disease Flares: Examining T-Cell Tolerance
Very surprised they haven't started this long ago. One might suspect the problem is ad play and click accounting.

Anyway, when they start delivering ads in-band, the next step for blockers is to identify that first keyframe in the player by using a pool of shared signatures, right? So then player clients will need adblock plugins which will have a sizeable signature distribution infra and grief for clients.

Then the anti-blocker might begin adding, per-play instead of per-video, a pixel or something to throw off the signatures, massively increasing THEIR video distribution infra. Ad infinitum?

This article doesn’t understand an income statement or balance sheet.
Don’t write about it; use it. The real world application of a new skill fleshes out your understanding in a way that is less vulnerable to your own blind spots, is absorbed at a pre-lingual level (closer to your bare metal), and might actually produce something of value along the way.

I like the idea, but I noticed that there seems to be some kind of issue with it registering clicks. I don't know if I'm just sometimes clicking slightly outside of the hitboxes or what, but I find myself "dragging" stuff by accident when the game doesn't register that I "dropped" whatever object I had selected.
> (But in case he’s listening, please add Rusts discriminated enums, it really hurts to move from a language with them to a language without them.)

The US government has no need to sell Treasuries at all. It already has the best bond in the world. The US dollar.

mpv only uses yt-dlp to get a video URL, then passes that URL to ffmpeg. ffmpeg doesn't implement the workarounds with range headers, so you get throttled. It's possible to have yt-dlp perform the download, pipe it to mpv and make mpv play from stdin, but it breaks seeking to parts that haven't been downloaded yet. There are many issues about this in the mpv issue tracker.

Sometimes I wish I could delegate purchase of trivial items, especially if there are too many options to choose from. The investment of time can be excessive, with less than satisfying results.

Of course I would not like to delegate it to the manufacturers or vendors.

> I am not a network engineer, but I believe it would have been far easier to make the two versions interoperable.

And what do you base this belief on?

Fact is you'd run into exactly the same problems as with IPv6. Sure, network-enabled software might be easier to rewrite to support 40-bit IPv4+, but any hardware-accelerated products (routers, switches, network cards, etc.) would still need replacement (just as with IPv6), and you'd still need everyone to be assigned unique IPv4+ addresses in order to communicate with each other (just as with IPv6).

I think this underestimates the degree to which the iPhone running essentially a full pre-emptive multitasking workstation class OS mattered. The Blackberry, Palm and Pocket PC OSes were basically Windows 95 and Classic MacOS era style technology stacks. A bit more modern, sure, but nothing like OSX of the time.

Bear in mind, the iPhone running a fully capable desktop class browser was jaw dropping. BlackBerry management were absolutely convinced the demo must have been faked. It's only when they got hold of actual devices that they realised it was genuine and even then it took a while for it to sink in just how far behind they were. It took Microsoft almost 3 years to figure that out.

This is often discounted because it's not obvious to the user unless you're familiar with specific aspects of the technology, but in terms of the capabilities it enables as a founding technology it's night and day. This is why Android ate their lunch as well. Although it was started as a BlackBerry clone, the fact that it was a full Linux kernel under the hood positioned it to become a solid platform for networked, isolated, fully memory managed, pre-emptively multitasking background OS services, and isolated user applications, with modern power management.

BB, Palm and Pocket PC were hobbled legacy platforms that might superficially emulate the UI of a modern smartphone but could never actually function and compete at the same level.
Respectful agreement: I can see how this would work well to encourage the encoding of correct tone in comments, which typically lack the ability to convey that information.

Whimsical analogy: The Elcor in Mass Effect adopted a similar approach to manage communicating with other races who lacked their ability to communicate nuance through scent and microgestures.

> Elcor speech is heard by most species as a flat, ponderous monotone. Among themselves, scent, extremely slight body movements, and subvocalized infrasound convey shades of meaning that make a human smile seem as subtle as a fireworks display. Since their subtlety can lead to misunderstandings with other species, the elcor prefix all their dialog with non-elcor with an emotive statement to clarify their tone.
Why Manufacturing Shop Floors Need Low Code Technology
The founding of LCOI is based on belief in something specific, yet critical to the future of the global supply chain. Systems are the lifeblood of everything in the operational world. Let's make systems work for us, instead of living in a world where systems slow us down.

If you or someone you know works in a manufacturing or laboratory environment, this statement will resonate and we implore you to start thinking about this future today.
Sure, going elswhere is something you can do, if you can afford it. But:

A) There are societies, in which the circumstances which would make it reasonable for you to leave are the reason why you cannot. E.g. if you are living in slavery or quasi-slavery moving somewhere else would be good, but the ones profiting from your labour wouldn't like that, so they make it hard. And the reason why you ended up in that position e.g. lack of funds, lack of education might also make it hard or impossible to move somewhere else.

B) We are discussing human rights. I would think they should apply universally. That is of course not the reality of the world, but we should aim for those rights to be defended in each part of the world.

Human rights are a thing that has to be defended by those that are able defend them — and those people are typically not the victim of such violations, but precisely the opposite in terms of social, economic and education capital than the people that would benefit from moving away.

That means just move away as an answer from the standpoint of the affected people is just profoundly naive, as if one would say to "just get rich" when someone isn't or "just get healthy" when someone is ill. On top of that it is an answer that hurts the society of those that give it, as the society as a while accumulates injustices it fails to answer.

So why give thwt answer? Because it has one benefit: It is a simple cure for the nagging feeling of cognitive dissonance that each good person has to get, when they see that the society they are part of produces injustices. It is the answer that allows them to move on and change nothing. "It must be their own fault then".

Yet every interview I have been to has had several coding tests, take homes and technical interviews. Your code is reviewed, and someone decides after 6 months if you are up to task. As an employee you can’t find an external solution and resell it with some smooth talking for double the price and go play golf. Rather you will be subjected to agile practices and if unlucky logging your hours against tickets. Most coders are actually paid to code. (trying to do non coding work beneficial to the business is actually a struggle unless it is in your assigned role!)
