Managers can and should watch whatever metrics they can collect passively, and they should absolutely talk to their teams and assess productivity. But it’s not an organizational metric that can be measured without crushing the life out of the team.

An example is the folks that generate enormous lift by enabling others to produce better faster delivery in the code base. They work relentlessly but never change code. They’re the most valuable engineer you have, and are frankly in my experience what a 10x engineer must be. Are they unproductive? How do you measure their contribution?

The only answer is by watching them work and understanding the team dynamic and just letting them do what magic they do.

But this is actually hard work for managers and requires introspection and empathy most managers lack. Most managers are there to monitor widget production, promote people along the level guidance by the metrics, report status to their managers, and give delivery timelines based on all this. These managers strangle engineering by their attempts to measure.

I call this the Heisenberg uncertainty principle of software engineering.
I think this is a horrible idea, and I really hope someone like EFF files a lawsuit against it. If the government can simply turn off your car whenever it feels like it, what else could they turn off that they don't want you to use? How about an off switch for your bank account for "unsafe" purchases? Turn off your internet for speech the government wishes to censor?

> So we can get rid of STUN/ICE/etc and make peer-to-peer easier. All you're left with is hole punching through your SPI firewall (no worse than today).

There’s (IMO) a much better reason: so your endpoints can have globally unique addresses. If I have a service in Google Cloud and a service in AWS and an on-prem service and a customer service and ten different upstream services from ten different hosted providers, I want these services to have different addresses, TYVM. And I want to configure my networking to them without needing to worry about whether all parties actually agree on the addressing scheme.

This is far more important than actually making anything globally routable. If my AWS thingy is 192.168.3.7, I don’t need whatever random third party service I’m using to be able to route to 192.168.3.7 (and I’d probably prefer that it not be able to route there). But I don’t want to worry about the service provider using 192.168.3.7 for another purpose.

I’d also like traceroute to work without having a bunch of intermediate hops where the addresses simply cannot be mapped to their owners without extra side knowledge of the network topology.

Yes, and every router has to do it properly by default, which so far they haven't really been. NAT is a lot harder to do wrong, cause the local IPs aren't even addressible.

Einstein was a socialist, so this is likely not to whom he was referring. While undoubtedly an elitist, I’m sure he counted the leaders of industry among the dullards and buffoons. You’d honestly have to be pretty dumb yourself to put them on the same level of his peers in science, like, say, Von Neumann, even though that’s very much the order of the day in modern America.

It isn't even a mild stretch to believe this was a mistake, they're literally building the thing into Windows 11 (ChatGPT and CoPilot are one and the same)
”The french are very pro EU”

Isn't this because the EU designed to keep France strong, but keep Germany weak?
This avoids some core router upgrades, but if you're on a device with a long address then every service you talk to also needs to be upgraded to use the extra bytes. So it still has similar adoption problems.

Unless you hide it all with NAT, but if you're doing that then you're losing lots of the benefits of more address space. And the NAT version is something you can already build yourself, but is rarely chosen for a reason.

Make it cheaper to have babies and people will have babies. Of course, that hits everyone's bottom lines by a little or a lot, including the healthcare industry, daycare industry, baby food and supply industries. Make housing more affordable, nobody wants to live in a 1 bedroom apartment that doesn't even accept pets and raise a newborn. The list goes on and on. We won't address all that in time, and it's going to hit us where it hurts later.
It's going to be ok. Pursue beauty, enjoy life, it is too short. There is no guarantee a meteorite does not crash tomorrow and kills 95% of live beings on Earth. Not sure what you mean by sustainable.

"the important thing is to say no to everything, and not do anything".
You're roughly describing 6to4, where 2002:c0a8:0809::123 belongs to 192.168.8.9. Though 6to4 is mostly deprecated, and you generally don't use it with "private" IPv4 addresses, unless you're incrementally deploying IPv6 in an environment where half the switching fabrics are IPv4-only and the other half can do hardware-encap/decap 6to4 but not 6rd.

Really-very-performant 8G quad core Tiger Lake Chromebooks are sub-$300 now, actually. Moved to one (finally, after much delay and insistence that no-I-really-need-a-Linux-Thinkpad) for my everyday client and, other than a few old keybindings I can't get out of my muscle memory...

Yeah, or the inventor of the technology. Seen that happen a few times. Always a treat.
Someone who only cares about Word, YouTube and browsing Facebook also doesn't need a $1,600 laptop with an 8-core CPU and a chunky GPU, they could get by with something much less powerful and probably wouldn't even notice the difference - and if anything, having only 8 GB of RAM is more likely to cause performance problems than not having a fast CPU or GPU (the modern web and modern apps are pretty memory hungry especially if you open a lot of tabs).

As in all systems, the greatest blame (or responsibility) lies in those nodes with the greatest power to change the system. "Leaders" who aren't elevating others aren't really doing any leading, just self-serving.
Yeah. At first blush, it seems like an unnecessary condemnation, but the comparison here is between those who contribute and those who do not.

I believe I fall into the latter of the two, but also know folks who fall into the former. I would say pretty bluntly that they are definitely more intelligent and have better character than I do. Probably by an order of magnitude, were it something quantifiable.
So far as I'm aware IP addresses exist out of a functional need, not a moral imperative, but if you have a source with regards to that I'd love to read it. You can hardly call the number of IPv4 addresses that AWS has a monopoly either, iirc they have something like 2% of the IPv4 space? Not charging for them was comparatively strange given that other cloud providers have been charging for them for a good long while. Managing their address space isn't a zero cost endeavor for AWS, so why wouldn't they charge for it? At the least to cover their costs, but given the way the world works these days making a profit isn't weird or unexpected either.

If you're really upset about it you can go through the trouble of registering your own ASN and get on the list to get your own allocation from ARIN. No one is stopping you from doing so.

I think there's an enormous number of things that it's very worth criticizing AWS (and other cloud providers) for, but this really isn't one of them in my book.
This entire thread is about the additional costs imposed on a publicly accessible IP[1].

Granted, there are other (but similarly expensive) workarounds such as NAT gateways[2] for outbound connectivity or the cheaper NAT instance method which AWS doesn't support any more, but there are alternatives[3]. However, for use cases requiring inbound connectivity such as setting up websites on EC2 instances, or using an ELB which need internet access, you need an IPv4 address and these charges definitely rack up.

We've invented entirely new protocols (QUIC) because of middleware boxes blocking things (SCTP, DCCP) and generally getting in the way.
> You just support longer addresses, that's it.

There is no way a router that does not understand the address extension is able to route packages to the larger address spaces correctly. So this is not possible to do.

Actually not true - it’s mostly grocery store employees. But that’s my point entirely - not that Amazon would employ 2mm software engineers but that Amazon created enough value that it could scale to millions of employees each of whom are marginally contributing. A person stocking shelves or packaging boxes is a person with a job that creates value. The software engineers being deployed smartly created enough value in a virtuous cycle to allow Amazon to productively employ millions of people.

(And yes my 2mm is net of non full time employees while the I9 population is 1.5mm)

By that logic, every American who supported the Iraq invasion should be debanked. Whether or not the people support the government in their actions, they are not responsible for their government's actions. I'm ethnically Russian, my entire family lives in Russia, and facing racism due to the actions of some other people is really strange. I thought we were better than this, or at least pretended to be.

Edit, yes, it's racism. I don't care about whatever power structure you imagine to be necessary, it's in the dictionary.
At least in my experience..if you can get a bunch of your own, often cynical (/tired of bs) engineers to say something you built is good, it's very different than the marketing or product people saying it's good..

The compiler from 8 years ago is very likely obsolete. If it was relevant, you'd have stored it somewhere safe or you'd have a support contract with Microsoft.
v4.1 host is still addressable from v4 host as long as its address is 32-bit. So they don't start leasing out the longer ones until v4.1 adoption is good enough. In the meantime, you slap in v4.1 hardware without having to even think about it.

You can also make compromises with NAT, like handing out 40-bit addresses that are auto-translated to/from 32-bit with 8 bits going into the port.
People are working on it. I recently had an AI make this coloring book of solarpunk images. https://www.amazon.ca/Beautiful-Futures-Solarpunk-Coloring-B...

I'd say from a right wing perspective, Star Trek more than makes up for the lack of traditional nationalist and wealth-class hierarchies by featuring an overt all-encompassing military hierarchy.

I think this is missing a really, really important observation- it's only in the past two decades that the Internet (specifically, the World Wide Web) has become such a dominant medium of culture at large. Our view of "what tech culture was like" is very much skewed by the fact that relatively few people were participating in the early "online" culture, and the folks that were, were very much the ones taking risks that turned out to be the major companies of these latter years. We don't talk about all the programmers that ended up at (for example) Sun, or IBM, of one of the many other major tech companies that have since fallen from grace.
ChatGPT's thoughts on the topic:

"Yes, it would be more accurate to say that AI models, especially language models like GPT-4, confabulate rather than hallucinate. Confabulation refers to the generation of plausible-sounding but potentially inaccurate or fabricated information, which is a common characteristic of AI language models when they produce responses based on limited or incomplete knowledge. This term better captures the nature of AI outputs as it emphasizes the creation of coherent, yet possibly incorrect, information rather than suggesting the experience of sensory perceptions in the absence of external stimuli, as hallucination implies."
Vineyard I can actually see, after Martha's Vineyard -- following the Red Hat trend of naming system components after Massachusetts towns (Wayland, Weston, Dracut, Plymouth...).
That's partially because almost everyone who's against the war and haven't cut ties with Russia are silenced. No freedom of speech there, and most folks don't fancy themselves as martyrs.

But, yeah, I was appalled to see how many folks had so much shit in their heads. There's a very significant fraction of the population that aren't just pro-war but openly hold neo-fascist views (while in a strong denial that those views are such - mental gymnastics with syncretism of incompatible values is a long-held tradition).

Russia is truly a cursed country.
"Much better screen" is also not necessarily true for everybody. For example I can't stand the glossy reflective screen, from what I saw last time I stopped in an apple store it was pretty much a mirror. I find the mate screens on thinkpads vastly superior and less difficult on my eyes, and their trackpads are fine: the magic track pad on my mac mini m1 is fine too, but I don't prefer one over the other.

You can try to find the computer you want to buy over here [1], and see if there is any hardware incompatibility issues.

Generally, at this point, most hardware lines are supported. If there are problems, they are with new state of the art GPUs, some weird new modems or fingerprint readers. Generally, your mom won't be requiring those. If you are buying for yourself, just pre-check if there are linux drivers for each of these.

The comments here don’t seem to reflect what I think is the most interesting point here: quick loops of satisfaction. So much of programming often takes forever to get any real utility or see progress. That can really be depressing, especially for a side project. That’s what I love about cooking or sewing; you quickly see the process come together. I wish programming was like that more often.

Woe is me, it takes minutes to go from user-designed mockup to real, high-quality code? Unacceptable, I tell you!

But seriously, if there are speed improvements that you can make and are on the multiple-orders-of-magnitude then I do get it, those improvements are game-changing. But also, I think we're racing too quickly with expectations here; where minutes is unacceptable now when it used to take a human days? I mean, minutes is still pretty good! IMO.

This doesn't seem like an unsolvable problem, they'd just have to bite one of a number of bullets to verify that the person who made the reservation is the person who showed up to the restaurant: restaurants insisting on strict identity verification for the reservation systems they use, or a rule that says the name on your credit card or driver's license must match the name of the person who made the reservation in order to be seated. People would naturally complain, but if the reservations are going for up to $300, I assume the restaurants have some leverage.

Or just go back to telephone reservations. If you hear the same voice calling over and over, you tell them there aren't any more reservations available. Imperfect, yes, but cheap.

Hetzner is charging 0.50€/month, compared to AWS's $3.60/month. Which I guess is in line with the usual price difference between the two, but usually AWS does a better job justifying the price difference.
