You want a ULA (unique local address) instead of link-local.

Link-local can sometimes mean needing to append the interface name to your address and a bunch of other weirdness. If you pick a ULA prefix and announce it (or assign some statically) everything pretty much just works.

I’ve been using them internally for over a year and it’s been great, they basically feel like RFC 1918 addresses.
My concern is that this is an accidental part of an unrelated migration and will quickly be disabled because of some internal IP filtering/banning tool that was only ever written to work with IPv4.
Given that the people on these teams are reaping stock from the efforts of mining personal data for people over decades I have a very strong “not sorry” feeling about any sort of negative anything that employees of Meta might experience. I would even go so far as to say, fuck these people, I have no empathy for you. You decided to be a part of the problem, and sucks to suck
Simpler routing because address blocks are not fragmented. IPv6 does not have a header checksum so that's one less task for routers. Packet fragmentation is no longer done by routers. IPv6 capable gear tends to be newer and higher performance. There's no NAT step or even worse CGNAT.
Terrible. You're stepping into the territory of highly paid tax consultants due to a mountain of regulations which are unevenly enforced. You will be slammed by GILTI and FATCA and more.

US citizens involved with foreign businesses must file various reporting forms, including Form 5471 and Form 926 (foreign corporations), Form 8865 (foreign partnerships), Form 8858 (foreign limited liability companies), Form 3520 and Form 3520-A (foreign trusts), and FBAR.
Form 8832 enables a foreign limited liability company to elect to be classified as a corporation, partnership, or disregarded entity for US tax purposes.
Failure to timely file a required reporting form can subject a US citizen to significant civil and criminal penalties.

On networks using NAT64 (and maybe also for DS-Lite, although I'm not so sure there), the IPv6 path is more direct than the IPv4 one since it doesn't need to go through a CG-NAT, which might be at capacity (tracking every TCP connection requires memory) or located farther away than the nearest IPv6 egress router, making routing more indirect.

I believe all three large US mobile carriers use NAT64 at this point exclusively, and CG-NAT is quite common in DOCSIS cable networks.

> why doesn't that make the other stars yellow too?

Most stars appear white/bluish because they are too dim for our colour receptors to perceive. The spectra arriving at our eyeballs is consistent with what you would expect given the type of star, redshift, and atmospheric conditions, but the perceived colour is not.
This is the right answer. Your legal entity is best and easiest located where your target market is because that will streamline all of the administrative details that otherwise become possible blockers. Where your employees are isn't all that relevant, that could, especially with today's support for remote workers, be theoretically anywhere.
My first thought upon reading the article was that absolute zero bounds coldness whereas there is no limit to how energetic a particle or bulk can be. Am I on the wrong track?
Yes—same way railroads were forced to carry their competitors' freight, at fair rates. (That when US railroad monopolies were acquiring the companies making use of their railways, so that they could kill off those company's competitors and leverage their rail monopolies into new monopolies, in different fields. These are old tricks).
Sometimes networks will route IPv6 traffic over different paths compared to IPv4 although that could actually be either an improvement or an regression depending on which gets the better path.

Why is that?
No one said that a company is mugging anyone. The point of the analogy is that failure to prepare doesn’t preclude being a victim.

Most societies recognize that the employer to employee relationship is unbalanced in favor of the employer in a way that consumer to grocery store isn’t.

Unemployment insurance, and severance requirements wouldn’t be necessary if the relationship were really the equally balanced market transaction you think that it is.

Even the executives who do the laying off recognize the harm they are causing. I’ve been on calls with CEOs who were crying because they recognized (or wanted to appear that they recognized) the harm they were causing even if they thought it was justified.

Victim is a perfectly reasonable word to describe the people on the receiving end of that harm.
While this is a disastrous ruling, it also will very likely not stand in the higher court that will handle the appeal. But great that our idiotic hacker tool law from 2007 is finally getting some international exposure.

Before sendenv, but with magicwormhole (which it's built on top of):

machine1 $ export var1=hello
machine1 $ export -p var1 | wormhole send --text -
On the other computer, please run wormhole receive 1-word-word

machine2 $ eval "$(wormhole receive 1-word-word)"
machine2 $ echo $var1
hello

After sendenv:

machine1 $ export var1=hello
machine1 $ sendenv create-vault v
machine1 $ sendenv add-var v
machine1 $ sendenv send-vault v

machine2 $ sendenv receive-vault
Please logout and login again for the changes to take effect
machine2 $ echo $var1 # doesn't work, needed to re-login

sendenv also writes to "~/.bash_profile", "~/.zshrc", which is fraught (i.e. on my system they're read-only files).

It also, just like the eval in the first example, has the downside of requiring you to completely trust the sender since they can send arbitrary code to execute that'll get written to your shell's rc file.

Basically, if you need to share ad-hoc env vars in a single terminal session, the wormhole snippet I posted above is fine.

If you want them to persist, probably use direnv to share them, ideally tracked in version control.

If you want them to persist system-wide, use ansible or some other configuration management.

The middle-ground, of wanting them to persist so much you write them to the shell rc, but not wanting them to be version controlled or configuration managed, seems like the worst of both worlds.
Six months is long enough to spend two months on the beach, two months looking for a job, and two months getting double paid.
Many washing machines are produced by the Whirlpool group under different brands, so it's not surprising that they would have a lot of parts in common and thus also feed a large aftermarket. Import brands like Samsung and LG tend to be much worse on parts availability and service information (and according to some statistics, also reliability.)

Sorry for the intrusive question but if you make software engineer level salary how is it that you don't have multiple months/years saved to mitigate for those possible layoffs?

Or did we all fall for the lifestyle inflation trap that comes with high salaries?

I'm probably a pessimist/realist but I have always lived way below my income and saved as much as possible because it really feels like the cash cow that software engineering is is eventually going to end. Layoffs are always looming. When that day comes, I want to relax as much as possible and not have a deadline to find a job,
Agree with the parent that there is no need for a ULA registry for locally assigned addresses under RFC 4193 (which is every one I've ever seen). But there is that option for globally assigning addresses that I'd be intrigued to see if anyone does anything with...

Also important to note that while RFC1918 is roughly equal to RFC4193/ULA, that "site local" is another beast entirely (FECO ) that was, as you noted, ambiguous and was deprecated in rfc3879

I wonder how well audited these random GitHub projects are that claim to make Windows suck less.

Running random shit from GitHub with my root password gives me the creeps, even though most of them are probably innocuous.
Happy it was helpful! Neglected to mention that your entry with the password will be stored in the shell history. You can prefix a space and have those commands (prefixed with a space) to be ignored in shell history. Alternative is to use `read` to pass the password in and hide the input. I can rewrite it for you if that’ll help.
One third times one fifth loses a lot of folks. As does addition and subtraction of fractions that don’t start with the same denominator, for that matter. They might figure out what to do to pass the test, but they may not get it.

> You can't say everyone is abnormal, it becomes a meaningless baseline

You can't meaningfully say everyone is abnormal in the same way.

You can meaningfully say everyone is abnormal in lots of different ways, if for each of those individual ways, only a small minority of people (say <5%) is abnormal in that way.

Consider the variable "number of deceased older siblings at time of birth". For most people, that's zero. For a small minority of people, that's 1. For me, it is 5. That's extremely abnormal, I expect there'd be less than 0.001% of the population for whom that variable is so high. I'd be rather surprised if you were abnormal in that particular way, although surely there are other ways in which you are abnormal but I am not.
In addition, I wouldn't be surprised to find that many of the people who are in the target demographic for this feature don't itemize - and never have a need for such practices.

A 1040 + W2 might the only equation these people need to solve for.

You’ll get a lot of hate for it, but I think you’re speaking the truth. IPv6 is probably one of the worst modern standards (tied C++ templates). Nobody has ever made a convincing argument about the advantages of it over IPv4. Just another case of fools admiring complexity. PHB types love it even more, it’s filled with buzzwords like the “future” of networking.

Can confirm - While I was decent at math up to a point, fractions and long division in 4th Grade sent me down a hole that took me years to get out of...until Algebra II as a junior in HS crushed me.

I blame this on my Chemistry teacher - a class which I was also taking at the time - who spoke little English and had never taught in the United States until the year I landed in her class. I actually did reasonably well in Algebra for the first quarter or so until it all fell apart.

If you think you need a better K, because you have insight into your distribtution, then don't use uniform, instead, use something more appropriate.

When k=N you degrade to LRU.

Your MAX / MEAN logic is completely flawed. If k=N then you'd have MAX(0..N), wouldn't this be optimal? But, this is LRU and it's not optimal.

All this is hand-waving. The proper response is to use the language of mathematics to prove how this algorithm behaves. Perhaps there is an optimal k.
I'm not sure why such a law is needed in the first place. Wouldn't this fall under defamation anyway?

>How to measure the distance?

We already know the distance. About 8 light minutes away.

The question of the parent comment was "how do you measure the diameter of the sun?"
It is a good faith question if the argument actually exists, which you seemed confident in.

I'm not saying you have to write it down, just that the previous comments won't be persuasive if it's not.
Fair criticism. I seek feedback like this, which is why I posted it here.

You could call `sendenv` syntactic sugar on top of the first example, allowing you to do things neatly in bulk instead of having to write ad hoc scripts. Additionally once you store a vault, you can send it any number of times Granted, its likely not a very frequent need, but still handy I guess.

Tracking secrets in version control is exactly what I wanted to sidestep by creating this. Sharing environment variables is an ad hoc manual process at my current company (and was the same way in previous workplaces as well).

Ansible or other centralized secret stores felt too heavy for something that should be simple.

The point of trusting the sender is applicable to anything you would send over magic wormhole, but I accept that this solution is more vulnerable given that it writes to rc files directly. I will be adding more validation at the receiver end before writing to rc files, as a response to this criticism.
Most planes have doors designed in a way that make it impossible to open them while there is significant overpressure in the cabin. Some do have interlocks.

The main risk is the door or the passenger opening it hitting something critical. Otherwise, you can primarily expect some injuries from stuff flying around, barotrauma to the ear, and an emergency descent, but not an "everybody dies" scenario.

> It's super easy to say "well these companies have lots of money and so should be able to be 100% accurate", but the scale of these services does not actually make that true

What difference does the scale make? Just look at the unit economics. If they can't afford to spend 5 minutes verifying this data point before sending it out to thousands or millions of users, maybe they shouldn't be sending it out at all; that's true whether you have 1 data point or 1 billion. If they're going to make the effort to publish it, they should make the effort to verify it. Or if they think their accuracy rate without verification is "good enough", they should accept the consequences of that and pay fair compensation when they screw up.
