As far as I can tell, nearly every system has an ipv6 stack included, but they are often choosing not to enable it. So ipv6's adoption problem is no longer related to a lack of capabilities on hosts. Do you agree with that?

Let's say every ipv6 stack we have today were instead playing by "ipv4.1"'s rules, meaning same addresses and routing as v4 (and possibly the same packet format as v6). Nobody is taking advantage of longer addresses yet, but the bits are there for later. This also means old DNS entries are still valid, and NATs are still common. What would stop many people from flipping on ipv4.1 mode?
I'm not sure you can discuss someone out of a position like this through a screen. Or if you can, I'd very much like to see that.

Some people want to solve problems with violence. And if that didn't work, you simply need more violence.

It's as old as humanity. Sadly not a difference of values easily solved by discussion.
Deferring to function coloring terms usually indicates a skill issue of not understanding that types are meant to represent what the code actually does.

Task-returning method indicates an asynchronously produced (deferred/delayed) result, a promise. If a language hides this fact (that the returned value needs to be awaited), it is grossly misdesigned - at most it can offer not blocking a thread, completely missing the point and leaving 20 years of improvements other programming languages have on the table.

But it's not as bad, yet instead in many other languages you are forced to manually schedule and then block/join until all of your tasks/promises/goroutines finish. Not in C#, that makes it as easy as it gets, which you can see in my example.

On top of that, you always pay for concurrency in Go, even when you don't use it, it is by definition always "colored" which further contributes to the overhead.

Also, in my example, the tasks will run in parallel. They won't in Go.
We used to have a functioning wooden wall phone in our house. I looked up the price, almost $400. I would buy one for like... $100 as a novelty.
Thanks for the kind words :) It's currently in a bit of a hiatus. While the games "engine" is in a workable state it lacks content. Unfortunately I like building systems far more than actually creating game content. Might need to find a few people that are interested in helping with that at some point
See also: the anti-AI debate, where most discussion has devolved into either how "AI bros" are evil or artists are all "dumb luddites."

Both sides believe all their points to be so obvious that the only explanation for why someone could disagree is that they're either stupid or malicious.
Great to see you here Jessica =)

I didn't realize Unlocked was your organization.
Homes I can understand as an investment, because well maintained, they depreciate slower than inflation. Brand new cars depreciate instantly as soon as you drive them out of the dealership, and with each driven mile you put in them.
Reposting this here if it is of interest of anyone trying to get the feel of how it was to experience this:

The larger earthquakes (the once above 4 M) started around 16:00. There was near constant—if not plain constant—shaking from then on until the evacuation order around 23:00, as in there was always at least a minor earthquake shaking the ground every 20-30 seconds. When the activity was at the peak (around 18:00) there were larger earthquakes (close to or above 5 M) every 10-20 minutes, those were above the constant shaking from the smaller once. Note that these quakes are really shallow (5-2 km deep) and close (some had their epicenter a couple of blocks away from me, but the furthest away were still less then 3 km away). So the shakes were really sharp and sudden.
Whether you feel sympathy for Preston or not, the fact of the matter is that 95% of the incarcerated individuals in the US will one day love next to you and me. Wouldn't you rather they be prepared to live there, to have a job and resources? To be self-sufficient (Preston will not need welfare resources when he returns because of this opportunity)? (Disclosure, I am Preston's employer and formerly incarcerated myself)

It is incredible story. I wish you all all the good luck you can get and happy life after you get out of prison. I also wish that prison systems in the US and Canada will adopt this "Scandinavian" model. So much better to put people back on right track instead of being vengeful fucks who would chase person the end of their days,
The study appears to be a part of one of the authors' dissertation which focuses on approach avoidance behaviors and their relationship to cognitive control [0]. The inclusion of sidestepping is not "fishing" but is used as a control to have participants doing a similar level of motor engagement on the task but that is neither approaching nor avoidant. The deeper hypothesis being tested is a part of the embodied cognition literature [1] which posits that not only does our cognitive system influence the state of our bodies, but that likewise the state of the body influences our cognitive state. Thus, the study aims to address whether the body being in a state of approach or avoidance influences our level of cognitive control being implemented on our assessment of other stimuli in our environment. Including sidestepping a control would absolutely have been an a priori decision with a legitimate scientific reasoning.

As a dissertation and a psychology study, the small sample size is somewhat expected, and a power analysis would (i suspect) indicate that it is perfectly valid for the statistical test being used (36 subjects is pretty close to 80% power for a moderate effect size for simpler experimental designs like this, if I remember correctly). These studies are not intended to serve as a critical and seminal authority on the subject but to add evidence to the literature, which then is taken as a whole to understand the underlying phenomena. Especially in a world where grants are reserved for only the flashiest and trendiest technologies and topics and publish or perish rules the day, papers with small sample sizes are a symptom of a lack of funding for these questions and relentless demands on researchers' time and effort, and I would bet that these researchers were doing the best they could with the resources they had. I think hackernews is rather uncharitable about psychology research in these respects.

As a note, this study was published in 2009 and thus likely conducted at least a year or two prior, at which point preregistration was not common for the cognitive field (and indeed it is still in its infancy). So, it is not surprising that this study was not preregistered and nor, I would argue, should it be considered a red flag.

Yes and no.

I think it's obvious there's a ton of value in the product and it's a massive force multiplyer for certain types of tasks. But it inherently cannot be trusted and still requires someone with expertise to verify and implement.

I don't think they're going to achieve real AGI. I don't think we ever will. I think they'll get something "close enough" and claim they have it, but I don't think the path to AGI is through LLMs.
What's there to discuss? Some people think that the Holocaust was a good start. And Germany didn't have trouble staffing its concentration camps with eager soldiers. Genocides begin with the view that a population is less than human.
Will the vaapi av1 encoder work (well) with Intel Arc? I was trying to build ffmpeg cartwheel and was up until sunrise because I had to build some other dependency of another dependency. Meanwhile the vaapi h264 (or was it 265?) encoder played quite nice with my rdna2 card.

Still you talk about trust. It's just a feeling. Not much relevant to what is more secure or not.
I remember the novel putting a lot of emphasis on how Hammond was a charlatan grifter and would lie about what could be done with genetic engineering (including his lies to raise money when starting the company). There's even doubt about exactly how much the park's animals really were resurrected dinosaurs.

It's a compelling modern retelling of The Island of Dr Moreau, but with believable science, and using chaos theory to argue why disaster is inevitable in the unstable system Hammond set up (rather than a mere "he was playing god"). I think it's a cautionary tale of science and engineering without morals. Cutting corners leads to bad science, and there are too many examples of bad science being actively harmful to society. If someone does immoral corner cutting, then who knows what is the depths of their fabrications?

GIMP doesn't use the vanilla gtkfilechooserwidget.c and as of 2022 GIMP was still being ported to GTK 3 (it uses Gtk2, so this is a moot point). I imagine Inkscape had to roll their own file chooser too. It's the default one that has been bugged since mclassen broke it in 2014 by removing support for the gsettings to set LOCATION_MODE_FILENAME_ENTRY and forcing only LOCATION_MODE_PATH_BAR. Try it with gedit or some random Gtk3/4 application.
Wow, what an absolute gem of '90s / '00 web design.
Benefits:

- Bypass the stomach acid, preserving more bacteria

- Keep the bacteria out of the small intestine mostly to avoid SIBO and avoid having to chase the probiotics with Betaine hcl, Ginger root, digestive enzymes, etc... to keep the small intestine clear which can trigger inflammation. Also not having to pre-coat the small intestine with cranberry molecules to cover any section that is missing the mucous layer.

- Feed the colon and large intestine cells MCT oil without having to consume it.

- Anecdotally I feed better for several days after doing this. I can do faster power-walks for longer. I do not run to protect my cartilage.

- The only GI improvement that I can feel is the lack of discomfort from taking large amounts of probiotics orally.

- Very large amounts taken orally can result in small amounts making it past the intestine cell junctions and triggering a small immune response which may have both positive and negative ramifications but that's a much bigger topic.

- Less likely to disturb the mucous layer.

Drawbacks:

- To be useful requires a large amount of bacteria and that requires a large amount of MCT oil and getting into positions to get it up into the large intestine. Well ... it has to come out some time and being liquid one must stay near the restroom. There's no holding it in. Some kind of paste injector tube would be better, probably something similar in form factor and design as the vaginal yeast infection treatments perhaps. If this were a product I would buy it even though it would be harder to get it into the large intestine.

- The first few hours after can feel weird as the body has to adjust.

> My friends say they like the taste, but I don't believe them. I think it has to do with them being coerced into liking coffee at a young age, and now they're addicted to it because of its caffeine content.

Daily coffee drinker here. Maybe I'm in the minority but I really enjoy the taste (strong espresso without sugar/milk) and really dislike the caffeine content (always prefer decaf, if available).
I’ve seen adverts for it on YouTube in the past
They have a pricing problem. Not many people are going to buy an old analog phone in 2023 for $200 - $300. And the analog to bluetooth adapter they are selling is $80 and shouldn't cost more than $20.

If they dropped the prices to between $50 and $100 they might sell as a novelty.

Right, so it doesn't align with your politics.

This is a pretty conservative website and even most people disagree with you here, which is why your comment about "these people" was removed.

I'm just gonna end it here since you're clearly looking for reasons to get offended.
Where someone produces something is actually not that relevant for how/where taxes are paid. If you buy something in the US produced in China, the US gov still gets its money through sales tax / VAT, import fees etc. Is that parasitically extracting of value?

But for tech, this doesn't happen. Leaving a hole in tax system.

One reason is that you pay up front for access to annual slot. You really have to want to go every year at the same time to the same place.

Second is that they charge maintenance fees. You have to pay ever increasing amount.

Third is that you can’t cancel the contract. And they are impossible to sell. There is huge depreciation and buyers want desirable areas. The only good way to get one is buy used at big discount.
I hope you know how alone you are in this compassionless response.

Inconsistent driver quality, some signed, some not, some maintained, some not, is why I left Windows for macOS.

I have never ever had to think about or care about drivers on macOS. I would say that is the most seamless driver experience of all.

You don’t have to execute them, just lock them up until they’re too old to be a threat.

I’ve been a victim of violent crime at least a dozen times in my life. I wasn’t the first victim for any of my attackers. Far from it. And I wasn’t the last. Every single one of them escaped. They probably got caught on some other occasion, and maybe they spent some time in prison for that crime. And then they got out and continued robbing and assaulting innocent people. They’ll keep doing this as long as they are physically able.

I don’t really care what happens to them, because they’re basically constantly-exploding bombs that force the rest of us to pay more in taxes for police, invest in more security systems, avoid certain areas at certain times, and generally worry about safety much more than we otherwise would. Most criminals have been given countless chances to not commit crime, and they keep doing it. The sooner they’re separated from society, the better off we’ll all be.

They shouldn't be surprised if corporations leave their market. I'm philosophical about this. The world is moving toward smaller more fragmented economies. On the negative side, supply chains will have to adjust and the world economy will become less dynamic. On the plus side, local economic ecosystems will develop. Diversity.
The longest day of my life was when I was maybe 5 years old: the day my parents bought their timeshare.

A few months ago I went with my father to a presentation by a company that helps people get rid of their timeshares. The presenter said buying a timeshare is like pre-paying for your next 30+ years of vacations. The annual maintenance fees pay the property taxes for the resorts, state governments like their property tax revenues, so they allow the racket to continue.

The 'time share relief' presenter asked everyone how much their annual fees were, and pegged their company's fee to the annual fee charged by the timeshare company.

Dad was all ready to sign up to pay $X,XXX to get rid of it. He's at the point where he doesn't have the energy to travel anymore, so he thinks the maintenance fees are just money wasted. I looked into the matter. Our state's law makes it relatively easy to get rid of timeshare fees, without having to pay for the services of a timeshare exit firm. Furthermore, many of the timeshares have programs for people like my father to get rid of their obligations: https://responsibleexit.com/who-we-are/diamond-resorts/

My brother ended up offering to split the fees with our father, as he likes to use it for his little trips. The properties do give preferential treatments to their 'owners', and the cost-per-night isn't so bad, as long as you use the nights you've paid for. My GF and I have used it twice this year, and have another trip coming up. I guesstimated the room's cost was about $50/night for a studio with refrigerator and cooktop. The same room was going for $150+/night on priceline & the other booking sites.

The Timeshare Users Group is probably one of the best internet forums about timeshares: https://tugbbs.com/forums/

tl/dr: if you're thinking about buying, DON'T. But in our case, what mom & dad paid out 30+ years ago would cost $80,000+ today, so we might as well just keep paying the maintenance fees and try to use it for all our little trips. <shrug>.
NixOS unstable is more of a rolling release than an equivalent unstable version on other distros.

I've also reproduced these issues on Void Linux, and on 3 separate machines. So it's not a hardware or distro specific issue, nor particularly rare.

Right. It's not even that they need to create a market. These things are already selling on eBay for hundreds of dollars. I guess it's a fairly common decor element for offices and homes. The same goes for old typewriters.

There are obsolete electronics that would be a lot harder to sell, for example CRT TVs - but phones are basically free money.
Anecdata of one here-

Non-smoker, originally tried nicotine vapes as an alternative to caffeine which I tend to overuse.

Not very effective for me as I seem to have a paradoxical reaction to it that makes me want to take a nap for 5-10 minutes after inhaling, but I found the sensation was pleasurable when combined with cannabis edibles so I kept the vape around.

Absolutely zero physical addiction. I can and have stopped using the vape cold turkey for weeks or months at a time and I felt no withdrawal at all. At the present moment I haven't used it in months.
So use “thousands” rather than “tens of”

I have tens of phones, well certainly more than 10, that suggest a story on e-waste for the average person.

TFA is interesting but I've got a problem with this:

> I was left with the difficult choice of either living there and walking to a temp agency with hopes of making $10.50/hour doing manual labor (without an ID or social security card at this point), or getting on a bus to NYC to see some associates, and coming back in a week or so with $15-25k in my pocket and living in comfy luxury hotels until I could rent an apartment I chose the latter, obviously, and was back in prison after 14mo.

That is not obvious. My father was left with nothing at some point in his life, living like a hobo in an abandoned, broken, leaking RV next to gypsies (heck, he'd even, for free, help the gypsies' kids with "homework").

And he was still proud --and still is-- of never having done anything illegal.

People choose to engage in crime, and there's nothing obvious about it.

Nobody needs the latest iPhone or the latest sneakers. They believe they "flex" with the latest iPhone and sneakers (I've got a whole different idea of flexing btw but that'd be another topic). They choose the easy path.

And that is not obvious at all. Most poor people and by very, very, very far, even most hobos, are not thieves and are not drug dealers. When you deal drugs you have on your conscience how miserable you make the lives of so many others: it's not even about legality here.

I had a friend and roommate at one point (and still friend to this day), we'd split rent and he'd barely make any money. Serving pitas at a tiny kebab/pita place three nights a week for hardly any money. And he was okay with that. He didn't care about clothes or cars or phones or fancy hotel rooms or whatever. He'd just be honest and survive.

What I'd like to know is why people believe it's "obvious" they choose a criminal life for $25 K a week instead of an honest life flipping burgers.

It's not obvious and that mindset of "fancy luxury hotel rooms" and "latest iPhone" should just die. Nobody is impressing anyone with these utterly pointless bullshit.
It's okay, I know that's a joke. I appreciated it. ;)
Nicotine itself really isn't particularly dangerous. If you haven't already been a smoker, you have no mental connection between nicotine cravings and cigarettes, so you don't really have any reason to desire them. If you were used to something like Zyn & tried a cigarette, you probably wouldn't even like it that much in my opinion. It may kick in significantly quicker, but there's also substantially less nicotine in a cigarette vs a nicotine pouch and it would probably leave you dissatisfied and annoyed at the bad taste in your mouth.

I had a lot of issues with my IT band back when I did marathon training / endurance sports.

Mine stemmed from my quads being significantly more developed than my hamstrings / lower posterior chain. Any imbalance between the front / back of your legs/hips can cause tracking issues, which will then overload your IT band or in the case of walking backwards, your MCL.

Also pressure point therapy using a lacrosse ball right into the hip attachment of the IT band was one of the few things that gave me relief. Good luck.
