TL;DR: 10 Gbps of bad traffic at the time they took it over, but the main issue seems to have been that many networks were unable to reach the IP due to misconfigured equipment on the route.
If you avoid pre-Java 11 modules in Apache Maven, it is very fast to build. Plus, IntelliJ is auto-magically incremental build. Can you give some specific examples where Java build tools are slow?

I thought the use of data and graphics here was very nice for transparency
An obvious question you face when deploying something like FDB is how to write your app on top of it. With FDB it's like RocksDB. You get a transactional key/value store, but that's a very low level interface for apps to work with.

FDB provides "layers", such as the Record layer. It helps map data to keys and values. But a more sophisticated solution that I sometimes wish would take off is this library:

https://permazen.io/

It's a small(ish) open source project that implements an ORM-like API but significantly cleaned up, and it can run on any K/V backend. There's an FDB plugin for it, so you can connect your app directly to an FDB cluster using it. And with that you get built-in indexing, derived data, triggers, you can do queries using the Java collections API, there's a CLI, there's an API for making GUIs and everything else you might need for a business CRUD app. It's got a paper of its own and is quite impressive.

There are a few big gaps vs an RDBMS though:

1. There's no query planner. You write your own plans by using functional maps/filters/folds etc in regular Java (or Kotlin or Python or any other language that can run on the JVM).

2. It's weak on analytics, because there's no access control and the ad-hoc query language is less convenient than SQL.

3. There's no network protocol other than FDB itself, which assumes low latency networks. So if there's a big distance between the user generating the queries and the servers, you have a problem and will need to introduce an app specific protocol (or move the code).
"FDB can tolerate f failures with only f+1 replicas." is too vague. What kind of failures and in which situations?

If "failure" is a netsplit, only single partition would allow writes, because they choose CP from CAP theorem.
It is the same in Geneva as the telecom "room" is underground somewhere in the city where everybody goes but nobody notices. You also access it via a nondescript small "hut". Good memories indeed.
If I understand correctly:

- you run advertising and lead gen on behalf of clients using their CRM (their domain email/outreach)

- and require Stripe for attribution, and to remit payment from client to you

That's most likely triggering Stripe's TOS.

For something so core to your business, did you have a discussion with Stripe if this was allowed?

> How do you think the AI software gins up writing that sounds like something I wrote? It does so by stealing.

If I write a text in the style of, say, Vonnegut, is that stealing? Why is it stealing when an AI does it?

AIs don't steal any more than a human who has read someone's writings is stealing when writing. Whether we want AIs or not is a completely different discussion, and a valid one, but "we don't want AIs, therefore we'll claim they're stealing" is not valid, in my opinion.

AWS Sets the ROI Benchmark for IP Addresses
Amazon’s emphasis on IP investment sets a precedent, treating IP addresses as an asset class with substantial returns. By explicitly stating their prices, Amazon has effectively established a benchmark for what constitutes a reasonable IP lease rate. This benchmark dictates how long it should take for IP holders to recoup their investments in IP addresses.

You know graphic designers who instead of designing would pay someone else to do it? That sounds like a cook who serves food bought from another restaurant or a carpenter who sells furniture bought from a store.

Maybe there’s detail missing from your explanation (perhaps you meant they outsource illustrations?), but if you’re paying someone else to do the core of your job can you still stay that’s your profession instead of being a middleman?
Oh man I've just had a (friendly!) debate on this with some distsys folks on twitter.

General consensus (no pun intended!) is the term availability is not really well defined, and the CAP thoerem is not a useful way to think about things (see Martin Kleppmanns "the unhelpful CAP theorem" in DDIA).
I am a victim from the 60s. Not at school but same principle.
Nuclear plants are economical for their use case. In days in which renewables cannot provide enough energy, your clean energy alternatives are batteries (of which we don't have nearly enough of, and are not economically viable today as an option) and hydro (we already tapped most possible resources for it).
It might not choose but we don't know how similar those cohorts are.

Let me applaud that! Small redundancies like these in writing lessen ambiguity and cognitive load. Although "2023" is longer than "23" it is more readily apparent as a year when e.g. looking/scanning for dates in the fridge. You might be saving your future brain some precious energy in writing full years instead of shortened ones. (Only half joking, the same could presumably be achieved by a well layed out label with ample white space and good typography.)
Yes it should replicate the functionality user expects - save everything into temporary file and overwrite the original file only on explicit save action.

No, I believe them to be out of compliance with good judgment --- kinda like Willie Sutton.
I believe the claim is that, IF IPv6 had been a much more minor modification of IPv4, including just a change to the packet structure to have a larger address field, it would have seen more adoption more rapidly than the current version of IPv6 which also changes everything else about the L2-3 stack. Sure, you would have still needed new devices and that would have taken some years, but as long as the network architecture remained the same, it wouldn't have required a quarter century to get to 30% adoption.

I don't know that I believe this claim at all, but it is at least coherent and possible (unlike claims that N-bit addresses could have been added to IPv4 in a backwards compatible manner). Perhaps SLAAC, the focus on routable end user devices etc were indeed major distractions that pulled focus away from a move to a new larger address space - which is the only thing people actually wanted from IPv6.
It is same for all CP systems in terms of CAP.
During partition, clients that have access to the leader, could read/write.
Clients that have access to non-leader servers could only read consistent data to the point when non-leader lost connection to the leader (i.e. old data, but still consistent).
Can you define „use it all day“? I find that claim hard to believe as someone who used a 10 until recently and even got the battery replaced.
I dunno, to me the argument is basically, "We can outcompete our competitors and the cloud provides at once". I doubt it, actually, because it requires 37 Signals to make tradeoffs against their primary business, which is whatever people actually pay

But sure, if all they buy from AWS is VMs, may be better.

As I understand it, the current policy allocates /48 for special purposes. Normally allocations that small are supposed to come from an LIR, not directly from an RIR.
There's certainly a requirement for them, but it would be good to know what the justification of that requirement was before we know if there's a need. E.g. the justification could be "our SOPs say all network traffic must go through NAT", and if you dig deeper you might find that the SOP was written to save money on IPv4 addresses. That would not indicate a fundamental need.
It's an example of "helped open doors that my parents could only dream of", which is specifically what you asked for.
I'm not saying he's right in all areas, and while it's certainly fine to disagree with his viewpoint, saying his essay "must be a deliberate troll" is laughable nonsense, especially since summarizing "my new protocol would allow computers that already have public IPv4 addresses to talk to each other" is a silly mischaracterization of what djb actually said.
The problem with the current generation of nuclear tech is 4 fold.

* fuel sources are finite ( non-renewable )

* disposal of waste is an issue.

* safety concerns makes building very costly ( have to be built to withstand an attack - not just an accident )

* nuclear energy is too adjacent to nuclear weapons for it to be a global solution.

Current nuclear tech is a transitional technology - important for providing base-load, until better storage & better distributed grids are put in place.
I totally see that. That has also been the main argument from some of my friends in academia. Mainly, the question of "Is LaTeX Worth It?" is aimed at the fact that it _has_ become the default option in some academic disciplines. Is _that_ really worth it or should the people in those fields reconsider? Of course the system is old and sluggish, so nothing will change in the foreseeable future, but we all can dream.
I still argue that it is not stealing what they do.

- The average movement of a solid is often zero, while its temperature is usually higher.

- Movement has an implied direction even if we ignore it sometimes. Temperature does not.

- A gas molecule can move a lot but have low temperature because it has little to collide with.

It's more accurate to talk about vibration/collisions rather than movement.
PALs & GALs are also relatively simple components programmable using non-proprietary hw & sw.

There are some FPGA families supported by fully open source toolchain today.

And there's CPLDs, which fall in between complexity wise.

Any of those would offer much shorter propagation delays (read: higher clocks) than EEPROMs.

Arbitrarily lengthening release cycles like this is performative. Particularly in high tech. Doubly so in a category that’s reducing its energy and material footprint.

Consider if we did this for cars. New model once a decade. This would be horrible for fuel economies. To say nothing about safety and EVs.

Apple product lifetimes are pretty good. iPhone 6s (2015, 8 years) still gets security updates, iPhone 8 (2017, 6 years) only now will stop getting new feature updates. The current trajectory seems to be supporting older models for even longer. If the device is not physically damaged beyond repair, you can just keep on using it.
The point of TF is working with your infrastructure declaratively. You write down what you want, how it should be integrated with each other, how IAM should be set up. And then that is what you get.

For me using terraform is quicker than clicking things up or using CLI even when initially developing things, as if something goes wrong I can just destroy the state and re-apply the terraform config.
Coupling a file format to SQLite smells wrong.

SQLite is good, but it is also fairly unique in this space. Why? Because it’s hard to replicate everything it does, because it does a lot.

But… for this case, do we need it do a lot? No, not really. We don’t need the full SQL standard, a query optimiser, etc etc for basic (+ safe) transaction semantics and the ability to store data in a basic table structure.

Perhaps there is a better file format we can use, but it would be better if it was decoupled from SQLite.

ipv6 has been around for nearly 30 years.

> Any solution to the 4->6 transition that assumes that all devices of some class (be it clients, servers, or middleboxes) moved to IPv6 at once is deluded and would not work.

464xlat allows communication from ipv6 only clients to legacy ipv4 ones without the need for a separate stack on your end device

nat46 allows communication from a legacy v4 device to a modern v6 device without the need for a separate stack on your end device

Had ipv6 transition been thought about better back in the 90s then you could have deployed your new subnets as ipv6 only back in 2005 and still communicate with all your older kit.

> That thing is there to stay for 5-10 years, and you just work around it as best you can.

IPv6 is 30 years old. I sweat assets like there's no tomorrow but the oldest kit I've got active today is less than half that. Even for ipv4 only devices, a single legacy subnet would be reachable from my v6-only management devices via my ipv6 backbone via 464xlat
