How is a terraform plan different from a dry run?
I always mentally mapped terraform plan == dry run to validate what changes will be made. Your comment throws a gauntlet into that understanding..
Here’s your new cryptocurrency, all hail IPv4Coin!
Exactly - cultivating one's ability to self-reflect, and increasing the critical distance between oneself and one's thoughts, to the extent that one can experiment with changing how one thinks in order to observe what one thinks as a result - that is the project.

Working in the realm of the abstract, writing software, is a kind of playground that allows for this kind of experimentation.

Paradigm shifts in system architecture and in how we conceive of daily life are in many ways alike.

Recognizing that we have (even if limited) some capacity to adjust to our liking how we think, so we can think what we want (and feel how we want to feel, do as we want to do, etc) is magical and rewarding. To understand that it is only nihilistic fatalism and helplessness of blaming circumstance or others for what - in many cases - is our own shortcoming (with regard the above notes) is actually empowering and inspiring on so many levels.

Anything is possible, if we put our mind to it.
Couldn't he just put it in a roadmap to be reviewed, merge the work if acceptable, accept the reward himself, and reward Zig team accordingly by other means?

This seems to be a negotiation attempt being made fully in public by two open-source projects. I would think as the project gets popular darker pressures will be attempt
I read the article and have no clarity still. They say it correlates with increased sun activity but no actual proof.
Can you provide any evidence at all that they are orthogonal?
Don't they waste the upper stage on Falcon 9 launches? (That being one of the reasons they want to transition to using Starship.)
can I buy one ipv4 for myself somehow. not lease or rent, buy ?
Agreed. The situation on the ground is complex.

That said: failed polities tend to result in failing infrastructures, increased stresses and strains (climate, economy, demographics, geopolitics, etc.) tend to interfere with effective polity, and as I've repeatedly pointed out in my comments to this thread, even in reasonably well-goverened and functioning societies, failures and close calls are disturbingly common.

The NY Times followed up with an article asking where else dams are at high risk. One point not raised in that article is what precautions can be taken, something I'd strongly encourage.

Even where a specific government is grossly incapable, both individuals and outside agencies in fact can anticipate and take steps to greatly reduce risks and harms from dam failures.

For starters, unlike numerous other mega-catastrophies, dams rarely fail utterly unexpectedly, both in the long term (problematic dams are problematic, often for decades, as here), or in the short term (severe weather events and dangerous geology and geography serve as triggers and amplifiers of risks).

Virtually all the risk comes in the initial flash flood and deluge itself. This risk is virtually completely mitigated by getting out of the way of and above the height of the flood. Knowing safe ground and/or creating evacuation facilities (strong construction, high walls, and out of the immediate water path) are both mitigations which are reasonably easily undertaken. Yes, vast areas may see property damage, but death, injury, and disease can be avoided.

Weather forecasting can predict dangerous storms often with up to a week's warning, and generally several days even where forecasting models perform poorly. Hours of advance notice can serve well. Radio and broadcast media remain effective for reaching large populations at low cost. Where local authorities fail to take these measures, foreign organisations, from broadcasters (BBC, VOA, DW, and commercial operators) to relief organisations (International Red Cross/Red Crescent) can both warn of and anticipate emergencies, warming up and pre-staging rescue and relief operations.

The second most vulnerable period is after the flood where people remain in damaged regions without infrastructure, most especially clean fresh water, sewerage capabilities, food, and medical care.

Note that unlike mass storms such as hurricanes, floods need not see wide-area evacuations. Rather than an entire county, state, or province, it's typically limited small settlements or specific neighbourhoods of larger cities which are most at-risk and which require evacuation. Moving only a few hundred metres may well be sufficient, or perhaps a few kilometres where a large flood-plain exists. Even in regions where transportation capabilities are limited, this is almost always possible.

The remaining issues are long-term recovery, rebuilding, and yes, tackling problematic dams and removing those which cannot be rehabilitated or have past any useful function.
...and completely ignoring cost of lost hardware. Aren't those satellites several $100k a piece?
I have yet to read any IPv6 alternative that can theoretically work or is not just IPv6 in disguise (or something that is implemented in IPv6 in a slightly similar fashion).

It may sound like a great plan as long as one doesn't look too closely at the details.
IPv4 has fixed 32-bit addresses and one cannot cram more than 32-bit of information into a fixed 32-bit field.
But one would need to do that for it to be forward compatible, since how would a IPv4-only client open communications with a expanded address space server?

One idea is to only upgrade the client and server and tunnel the expanded address space packets over IPv4. IPv6 has that - that's how it was bootstrapped before native IPv6 connectivity was a thing.
And the people who designed IPv6 designed a beautiful, perfect protocoll that was incompatible with the old IPv4 protocol. Which meant that a graceful, gradual shift to IPv6 was impossible. Cheap IoT devices are still being manufactured that support only the old protocol.
That's a weird thing to say. First "large" seems like a weasel word. Second, there are HUGE differences in corruption between say Russia and the US. While we complain about the US, the level of corruption is orders of magnitude lower than Russia.

Orders of magnitude differences in corruption matters a lot.
> What is being sovereign over a territory when an enemy drone swarm can just bomb your people on it anytime?

On the other hand, the defender has an advantage if the enemy also can't inhabit a particular territory. If territory is guaranteed to become a no-man's land for both sides, that reduces the incentive to invade in the first place. Therefore drone tech should function like nukes, they increase the lethality of war but decrease the desire to go to war in the first place.
Sure, but the cost of 2 bytes is a lot different now than it was in 1950 (or 1970, or whatever). Store the full year.

If you don't have a use case that requires FoundationDB you def. do not have to learn it.
The purity of IPv6 doesn't want NAT. Therefore, yes, all of those devices are supposed to have public addresses.

We can debate whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that is the way IPv6 is supposed to work.
I can't help but feel that Japan is once again a decade or two ahead of everybody else in a weird sense.

When the boomer generation retires many countries will have to face similar problems and many western nations are already essentially governed by people that would/should be retired and can't find it in their hearts to give the levers of power to all the generations that came after them.

As a young person who will have to support an aging population I wondered half my life why the generations before me went just YOLO on the population pyramid thing as if it wasn't mathematically predictable what the outcome would be.

Then the pandemic hit and it turned out to be mathematically predictable as well and I got a display of just how irrelevant that fact was. It doesn't matter if the outcome is preventable. If you think it won't affect you and tou don't care about everybody else.

While NeXT UI frameworks can be considered great to be made available to an wider audience via OS X and Cocoa, similar ideas were already mainstream on the Windows world via Visual Basic and Delphi, and much widespread in terms of bringing programming to the people.
> Unrelated: why do they call the instruction set an architecture or ISA?

In the early days of all of mainframes, minicomputers, and microprocessors companies slapped some hardware design together and then made un an instruction set for it. When the same company made a better, faster, shinier computer a few years later the hardware was completely different and the instruction set was completely different and everyone had to rewrite their software.

One of the best-known examples is the Intel 4004, 8008, 8080, 8086 and so on. None of them can run software for either later or earlier chips. Intel was reasonably good at making it not too hard to rewrite old software, but it still had to be done.

An Instruction Set ARCHITECTURE is an instruction set that is designed from the outset to be independent of any particular hardware implementation of it, and it is intended to make and sell machines over a long period of time that can all run the same software.

Not only that, but with, for example, the IBM System/360 introduced in 1964 they announced six different machines (Models 30, 40, 50, 60, 62, and 70) on the same day, with about a 20:1 "commercial" performance ratio (90:1 for "scientific" use) and a similar range of monthly rental costs (IBM didn't sell them outright).

RISC-V is similarly deliberately an Instruction Set Architecture, that works well with a very wide range of implementation techniques and cost/size, all of which can run exactly the same software (at least if it sticks to RV32I / RV64I).

FoundationDB replaces MySQL/PostgreSQL (if the tradeoffs are acceptable) or Cassandra. It is a reliable distributed store.

Unless you are running Redis only with nothing else, fdb and redis do not play in the same space.

These technologies are primarily aimed at B2B markets and market them accordingly. You likely need none of them. Any meaningful technology is open source.
ELI5, why are IPv4 addresses so precious?
How would you approach making immutable live-cd like Linux? No persistence at all, just boot it and run some app - think some kind of presentation panel which shows predefined program/URL. Ideally net booted to avoid having storage at all.
I personally would have added one additional byte, but when it is written I would have added two bits to each of the original bytes. That has the advantage of making each segment 0-1023. I would have reserved the 1000-1024 values, such that IP addresses look the same visually: 476.188.049.772, but the available number is increased by a factor of more than 200. Maybe it’s not too late to release IPv5…
Strawman. I never claimed or suggested what are you asserting.

The design appears to be working well looking over the 240 years since the US' Constitution was ratified. A broad consensus of the states, _not of the people in the US as a whole_, is required to effect large scale, national changes.

The initramfs-overlay package became a trivial install with OverlayFS being accepted into the kernel a few years back.

This meant the mess systemd created each boot, could be dropped into the ram-drive with zero impact on the OS image. Effectively turning any Debian based system into a read-only OS backing image, but retaining the ability to boot into a normal writable system with a single boot flag.

This trick is a lot less finicky these days. =)
Probably not, most people don't care.
One point not raised in this article is what precautions can be taken, something I'd strongly encourage.

Even where a specific government is grossly incapable, both individuals and outside actors in fact can anticipate and take steps to greatly reduce risks and harms from dam failures.

For starters, unlike numerous other mega-catastrophies, dams rarely fail utterly unexpectedly, both in the long term (problematic dams are problematic, often for decades, as in Derna, or Mosul, or Banqiao, or Vajont, or Teton, or St. Francis, or ...), or in the short term (severe weather events and dangerous geology and geography serve as triggers and amplifiers of risks).

Virtually all the risk comes in the initial flash flood and deluge itself. This risk is virtually completely mitigated by getting out of the way of and above the height of the flood. Knowing safe ground and/or creating evacuation facilities (strong construction, high walls, and out of the immediate water path) are both mitigations which are reasonably easily undertaken.

Rather than an entire county, state, or province, it's typically limited small settlements or specific neighbourhoods of larger cities which are most at-risk and which require evacuation. Moving only a few hundred metres may well be sufficient, or perhaps a few kilometres where a large flood-plain exists. Even in regions where transportation capabilities are limited, this is almost always possible.

The worst cases of course are where there are major habitations directly in the flood flow. Bakersfield, CA, beneath the Isabella Dam, where a major risk is earthquakes (classically not predictable in advance), would be a classic example. Here, specific evacuation centres and warning systems, as well as widespread and frequent civil defence preparadness, training, and education would be highly useful.

The remaining issues are long-term recovery, rebuilding, and yes, tackling problematic dams and removing those which cannot be rehabilitated or have past any useful function. Challenges, yes, but also not where major loss of life is a significant risk.

Only in terms of transactions across multiple data centers. In every other way vertically scaler sql performs better, especially for your dollar.
I'm confused, isn't Fedora Silverblue also image-based? I thought the default installation doesn't use layering, and that layering only comes when you want to install extra RPM packages.
Yeah, but now when you try to load in a database of documents (e.g. legal, blueprints, etc...), the date the document was created crashes everything instead.
But maybe you should also be able to live a stable and fulfilling life while being a factory worker or a tradesman. There was a time when that was possible. Not everybody can be a banker or a rocket scientist.
Both Java checked and unchecked exceptions are inferior to signaling errors by return values like Go/Rust/Haskell do.

Exceptions are not composable, cannot be generic, and it is not visible in the source code which lines can throw, so every line is a potential branching point.
Because there are only 4.3B of them possible, and we've not done the best job of migrating to IPv6.

Said another way, AWS owns approximately 3% of all IPv4 addresses.
Doing synthesis is easy. Making a fitter is a lot harder, but can be done. But making a really optimized fitter that handles all sorts of fabric-specific oddities, hits the highest Fmax, and critically, can be timing verified to guarantee timing closure at the target operating temp, that is very, very difficult.

Where the only real open toolchain (Yosys) fails hard is in hard IP blocks, and timing analysis. These are two critical parts of using modern FPGAs, and they require far more information than is ever documented anywhere.
Without timing analysis you can't do timing driven synthesis, which is sort of like closing the control loop for optimizing the design.

Device support in Quartus for a simple FPGA family like the Cyclone 3/4/10LP (they are just die shrinks) takes several hundred megs. Most of that is in the timing model dbs. The rest lies in the hard IP models.

So, not that Yosys et al is not great work (outstanding really), but they can only really practically target the easiest low hanging fruit as it relates to FPGA compilation.

Finally, nobody uses softcore CPUs for any substantial processing. They are inefficient and waste precious fabric space. As an example, using up routing wiring for a softcore can negatively impact your Fmax on the rest of the design.
As a rough guide, a cheap low end FPGA could run some simple arch like MIPS at maybe 150mhz with a tailwind, but that would quickly decrease if you were to do anything else useful with the FPGA. Higher end chips like the Intel 10 series could maybe hit 400 mhz or a bit more, so really not super impressive compared to dedicated silicon.

The one place you will typically see softcores are

1. System bring up in very large designs

2. Babysitting more complex IP blocks (DDRx ram controller calibration and register programming), HDMI/Display port IP clocking calculations and supervisions etc

3. Toy/research applications

It is virtually always cheaper and more practical to throw on a STM32 or any microcontroller that talks to the FPGA, and it is very rare to not have both in a system.
I would have a much easier time understanding government legislation if everything was provided in such language.
I tried to compute my taxes by hand a month ago to see whether and how much money it would save if I enabled "loon middeling" (some Dutch law about income). But I couldn't figure it out. The explanations provided were ambgiuous in some subtle way, leading me to incorrect assumptions.
In the end I did figure it out by reverse engineering a free third party calculation tool (which also was not correct, but putting their insight and my insight together made something that came close to the number on my belastingaanslag).
I like single column multi page blogs where folks just list out a bunch of heartfelt pieces they wrote about something and fired it into the aether.

This article have a strange math... Except, perhaps, some tropical areas, we need to eat the entire year, while the garden produce just few months. As a result we need MUCH MORE surface to harvest enough for the rest of the year, nourish animals and so on.

There is no fixed dimension since it vary from local climate to local climate + margins due to weather variations year per year but just to get enough grains, nourish enough poultry and so on in temperate climate we need MUCH, MUCH more.
We've got a block here in W.Australia that had a massive band of thick clay across it .. after twenty years it's been tamed by cutting long trenches into it when it gets wet enough to slice into with a sharp blade (it's harder than concrete in the summer) and blending those big chunks with dry sparse soil from other parts of the block - midway between the two is a nice mix that holds water but doesn't set like stone when dry.

But yep, that's the game with agriculture, long term steady work to improve conditions, soils, drainage, mulch pits, septic lines, fruit trees, etc.

Mackinac is a lovely place, but they ban far more than just cars there so it's not a great comparison to other cities. There also isn't a distinction there between transmission and distribution so it's also not a great model for cities regardless.

This is a very common attitude with americans that dwell in the country. It's just your bog-standard fear of change and the unknown.

It's pretty shelf stable. I have one opened sitting on my shelf for three months and it still smells/tastes good.
On the contrary, I find your position to be confusing. It's just a function that anyone can call. If you go on GitHub you can see many people who are using it for whatever logging they think is appropriate. Why do you think it has anything to do with correctness? This isn't like a crash or a OOM where you're generally pretty sure something is seriously wrong, because you can just trigger this whenever you want.
