I think it's also an incredible case study in how your users who are themselves most profitable (in this case, the Mihoyo's of the world), and who you see yourself wanting to emulate in levels of profitability, are not necessarily the pillars holding up your ecosystem.

If this were just a skirmish between Unity and microtransaction-heavy mobile game publishers, then there would be legal battles, but all in all they would rather pay a per-install fee than rewrite their games from the ground up. But every small and mid-sized developer and publisher feels like they were considered fodder for this battle, and their goodwill is why the big guys chose Unity in the first place.

And a $1M annual revenue threshold might as well be nothing - that barely feeds a two-pizza team! It would be as if Github made every open source repository with more than 5 regular contributors pay per git pull. Absolutely absurd.

I would love to see some of these privacy-focused providers like Kagi and Tutanota/Protonmail align themselves into a "bundle"-type offering (think video game humble bundles) where for like $35/month you got access to a bunch of useful tools like this. It would really expose a lot of people to services they aren't super familiar with already, so even if it was at a slight discount to the provider, they would acquire a lot of new users I bet.

It's iterating over time to fix real problems. No protocol is perfect in the initial RFC.
Zig's take on comptime is slightly different from C++ and D, but that doesn't make it revolutionary. It has first class types, which allows you to pass them to a function along with normal function parameters, instead of having a separate syntax for it like C++ and D. But it's not really new.
It doesn't seem like much, but if you just move forward through the years, you can see a bulge moving up the graph. It's quite serious. Medicare, in the US, is seen as "being in a crisis", as the number of taxpayers, relative to the number of "older people who tend to need lots of health care", will shift.

Fewer taxpayers, more using that tax. Note, that it would seem exceptionally unfair, IMO, for people that paid all their lives into the tax base, to suddenly be seen as "horrible" for now using medicare.

This trend of course will only continue. Going forward, as our populations shrink world wide:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location...

We'll forever see "lots of older people" being taken care of by "fewer younger people". It used to be there were more young than old.

Now the reverse is true, due to improved health care, and now, due to lowered birth rate.

There was no 'great resignation'. Instead, what happened during COVID is the start of the boomers retiring. Retired people have worked their entire lives, and still like to enjoy lunches, produce, and yet now there are more of them, than people making things.

Well anyhow. This may seem unrelated, but there's a lot of talk at the start of this talk, about population shifts, and collapse, and how it will affect things moving forward:

> Not being able to route directly doesn’t seem to be a major issue to me.

Look at the bigger world around you.

I am, right now, involved in a major cloud migration. Having overlapping, constrained RFC1918 space and also having to NAT everything is presenting an enormous set of constraints and risks. It adds literally zero benefit.

Life would be infinitely easier, and we could provide so many more capabilities if everything could just have a routable IP address. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of our addressing policy.

NAT is an awful, short-sighted hack that causes many more problems than it solves.

If 1 in 8 kids experiences food insecurity, then it's likely that there are at least some, maybe 1 in 100, who are starving, however you define it.

Also, there are two kinds of starvation: in one case the quantity of food is insufficient, in the other its quality is. Eating fries with soda in great quantity every day could still starve a growing kid.
You can keep a distinction between old and new version inside the same database, by having a pointer to the "current" version, and updating the pointer when clicking on "save". You could store all changes in the database in a "staging area", such that when you reopen the app you can load the changes and you don't need a recovery phase, but with the "save" button active meaning that something changed since last save.

Well, if you're talking about "the current state of technology", the general consensus as I understand it is that building new nuclear power plants is not cost effective with other forms of energy storage/generation capacity.

I'm all for keeping existing nuclear plants online, but I don't think building new ones is the right decision.

Also, yes, there are viable green hydrogen plants being built today: https://totalenergies.com/media/news/press-releases/total-an... . Also, France is likely to lead in this area because they just got hydrogen produced with nuclear to be considered "green", which is a great thing in my opinion.

It's quite a bit broader than that [1], and so worth being aware of as it's stricter than many US providers, but unless you happen to fall in one of those categories it's also not a big problem:

"This includes in particular, but is not limited to, pornographic or obscene material, extremist content or content that offends common decency, gambling, material that could seriously endanger the morals of children or young people or violate the rights of third parties (copyrights, name rights, trademark rights and data protection rights). This also includes the publication of defamatory content, insults or disparagement of persons or groups of persons."

On top of that there's a blanket ban on crypto.

Personally I've used them for 15+ years at a number of companies and never had a problem. But I accept some people will want to set up content that violates or skirts close enough to break those rules to be uncomfortable.

They're also behind Similac, and have a history of funding research that makes infant formula look better than it actually is.

As others note, this doesn't make the study automatically invalid, but it does make it highly suspect. I'm personally growing rather tired of industry-funded nutritional research that inevitably makes the product being pushed by the funder look good, often in contradiction to other research funded by opposite industries. Fat vs sugar, carbs vs protein, dairy, red meat, alcohol. At this point you can find a study supporting pretty much any dietary decision you want to make.

So your supposition is that he was just writing a normal paper about biology for the general public and then he just sort of accidentally added an aside about politics at the end that reframes the whole piece and is extremely relevant to the controversy about democracy vs. dictatorship in the 1920s? No. It's a single extended essay that advances the thesis that human social structures should "be the right size." His other work work is the equivalent of Origin of Species for him, but this is one very short essay with a coherent thesis.

It's more of a problem of the number of nodes your users will be accessing than the number of users. It's a PITA to make mechanisms for password changes, for adding and removing users, for unlocking accounts, etc. when you have a distinct file on each server that needs to be changed. As well as adding new nodes to the environment and bringing them up to date on the list of users and etc.

> there's no ISO standard defining how to interpret an SQLite file in excruciating detail.

There comes a point where ISOing things doesn't help. The SQLite format belongs to SQLite, and an ISO standard would result in that standard being rendered irrelevant by the SQLite team, should they wish to make a change for any reason. Also, people would have to pay ISO for access to the specifications. SQLite should be treated as a defacto standard defined by the SQLite project.
I'm no expert on aircraft procurement or government contracts (I'm an engineer who used to work on fighter jets) - that being said, it's my understanding that the F-35 is actually a very successful project, and a very affordable one at that. I haven't got any citations or evidence to present, I could be wrong about all of this, it's a topic I've got only casual knowledge about.

A broad overview of my understanding of the situation: Most critics are making unfair comparisons (e.g. criticizing the F-35 for its inability to dogfight, or comparing its cost to 4th generation fighters, rather than its 5th generation peers)

This argument is further complicated by (as I understand it) a general lack of knowledge in the west concerning the true cost of Russian and Chinese 5th generation fighters (PAK FA and Su-57)

All of that being said, I think this is a heavily politicized topic, and I can never discount the possibility that I've been hoodwinked when it comes to such matters.

> What gives? Is emulation just not a good use case for Rust?

You fell for Rust PR (which is understandable, considering that both this site and Reddit are full of loud Rust fans/influencers). The language provides memory safety and some fancy ML-like syntax and that is it. It won't implement good emulator for you or make you a better SW developer.
Here is a really good link that shows the power of Zig's comptime:

https://kristoff.it/blog/what-is-zig-comptime/
Offsets can add a significant amount of space relative to small T, if their size is not optimized (e.g., 64-bit size_t and uint8_t T). So as long as we are careful about offset size this seems like a reasonable approach.

There are plenty of burns on the other side as well with users losing edits and the consequences of copying your file in a file manager with/without some out-of-tree-out-of-sight history are even more subtle.

This is an app feature (it doesn't have to be "Export As", it can be a "clean history" toggle in the same "Save As" dialog and a separate command), so not a reason to excise efficient history preservation from the file format
> Now this is really sad.

Yes. The worst part is our current effectively-infinite copyright length is a very recent invention, but it's already taken root as the-way-things-are. Imagine a world where copyright lasts 28 years max. How different would our culture be? All of our early computing history would be 100% freely available, no questions asked. Windows XP would be nearing the end of its copyright term. This is the way things were for centuries, right up until 1978 when things started going off the rails.

Your initial claim was that a IPv6 address consists of a 64-bit network address, then a 64-bit device address that could be separated into <site-id>:<vlan> as an example.

However, SLAAC demands that each device is given a 64-bit prefix that it then chooses many random 64-bit host addresses from, without any other rhyme or reason. So, if you want to know the IP of a host you want to connect to, you have to remember at least a 64-bit number that changes every day by design. Add to that some extra bits for the particular part of the network you are in.

So your IPv6 is more like <isp-assigned-prefix, 32-56 bits>:<internal-net-prefix, 8-32 bits>:<random-host-address, 64 bits>. Human friendly this is not.

XML and Zip don't really do incremental updates, meaning the whole application file has to be written on save, meaning corruption can occur due to hiccups mid-write. Sqlite as a disk format and the right application implementation means you can't end up in a corrupted state.

I think you can achieve the same thing with xml/zip and some rename shenanigans, but sqlite lets you get that in a single file on disk.

Also if you are using sqlite as the memory model, why not use it as the disk/transport format? It's basically free at that point.

The file size issue can be dealt with VACUUM (I believe, haven't personally dealt with sqlite-as-file-format).

> People have been blaming entitlement and lack of punishment as a source of crime for 5,000 years though and yet nobody has ever shown that to be an actual cause.

Or maybe, if for 5000 years people from many different civilizations all independently reached the same conclusion, it's because the conclusion is true? Look at El Salvador—punishment introduced, crime eliminated. Seems like pretty solid empirical evidence to me!
In the United States, people living in urban areas have a slightly longer life expectancy than people living in rural areas. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), life expectancy at birth in urban areas in 2021 was 78.7 years, compared to 78.6 years in rural areas.

Apparently the gap was wider, they blame air pollution for the rural areas catching up. The big advantage urban areas have is rapid access to healthcare.

> For example I've recently seen news about parts of eastern Oregon wanting to secede and join Idaho, and the primary reason for that is that you have a minority (rural eastern Oregonians) who are permanently disenfranchised with effectively zero agency over the laws and regulations that rule over them, as a result of them being a minority in Oregon.

Isn't this also the case of blue cities in red states? I believe e.g. there's a big hullabaloo in Virginia at the moment where the bluer school district close to DC is resisting anti-transgender top-down demands from the state. If we want to argue about rural people being disenfranchised, by number, way more people in cities are disenfranchised simply because cities are more populated.
Show HN: IP Sync – Notifications and automation when important static IPs change
Hey HN! I'm a solo maker that built https://ipsync.link/ to solve a problem I experienced at a past job: IP allowlist/firewall related outages.

Basically, we had an important partner that changed their static IPs without telling us, and our firewall started rejecting their requests. This cost us a huge amount in lost sales and a sev-0 outage, but now there's a better way to deal with this problem: just use IP Sync to stay up-to-date.

Give IP Sync any accessible URL that returns a list of IP addresses (API responses and txt files are supported) and get a diff sent to your email every time the IPs change.

IP Sync will even manage your firewall rules for you if you're on AWS, GCP, or Azure (available on the Automation plan which is open for pre-orders, 50% discount available for early adopters!)

You would have to lock the file, or guarantee consistency in some other way. Right now, I don't believe Linux does anything about consistency of reads / writes to that file... which is bad, but we pretend not to notice.

So... the system is kind of broken to begin with, and it's kind of pointless to try to assess its performance.

Also, it would obviously make a lot of difference if you had a hundred of users with only a handful being active users, or if you had a hundred of active users. I meant active users. Running programs all the time.

NB. You might have heard about this language called Python. Upon starting the interpreter it reads /etc/passwd (because it needs to populate some "static" data in os module). Bet a bunch of similar tools do the same thing. If you have a bunch of users all running Python scripts while there are some changes to the user directory... things are going to get interesting.
It’s consistent with other research I’ve seen that suggests higher protein intake is beneficial.

That's certainly true, and also the case in many modern file formats.

For example there's the story of the academic studies with falsified data [1] where forensics on the included excel documents showed they'd gone through and replaced data with "randomized" data (if I remember correctly); there are tons of examples of "redacted" data in pdf docs being visible under the blacked-out rectangles.

I'm not disagreeing with you, btw, such actions are certainly problematic, but hopefully kids will grow up knowing they need to run an export to sanitize their data if they don't want to show the whole world their transaction logs...

What would the GDP of NYC be, if NYC didn't have a near monopoly on the proximity to high paying jobs in NY State? If every NYC job (aside from those that absolutely required people to work on-site) allowed full time WFH, my bet is that it would be significantly lower. And people with high paying wages would be more scattered around the state, requiring less subsidizing. It would also mean that not every highly educated person moves away to the city. Part of the reason urban and rural politics is so divided is that every smart kid from a small town goes away to college and never comes back. Some because they have no desire, but others because the job they want doesn't exist outside a metro.
