I've never seen such a big protest. The transit system in Hamburg was completely overloaded. People standing around Alster lake, you couldn't even get close to the actual point where the protest was scheduled to happen. Those protests possibly may be ineffectual and what not - they certainly weren't small.

Hamburg: https://image.stern.de/34382826/t/ud/v2/w960/r1.7778/-/19-ha...

Both Hamburg and Munich protests needed to be canceled in the middle of the thing because the huge crowds were considered dangerous (I think rightly so).
Current German goverment is also far right! They want to move migrants from Germany to other countries!
Well, bless your heart! I guess a hit dog really will holler.
You would want to make training updates commutative as much as possible. That way it doesn't matter which order you apply the updates in.
It's everywhere, not just in Germany. Like you said, there's "something in the air". The rise of populism, rebirth of strong nationalism, is everywhere in Europe. I feel like wherever that tide is pushed back, it grows stronger in the background anyway.

And the worst thing is, I don't really see how this could get better. Economic problems will continue to grow for at least several years, and one of the most contenious problems - immigration, legal or otherwise - is not going to slow down, fueled by conflicts around the globe and climate change pushing people out of previously habitable areas.
Fair enough. I said i had mixed opinions.

Just that I have built so many snow caves in my childhood and many of them caved in. And it left me with - lots of snow inside my clothes, which was yucky.

I have also slept in a leftover cave dug by the military. It was a couple of weeks old so the roof was significantly lower than it was from start.

One tragic accident i remember though is about some children building caves in snow banks and being run over by the plough.
Good example of programmers rationalizing about not understanding the relational model and ACID properties. Databases have to ensure and enforce referential integrity and prevent update anomalies. When you have the choice to do that in the database or in application code, choosing the database almost always gives more reliable and future-proof results.

Dismissing an important feature -- foreign keys -- because of a migration tool communicates some ignorance of the relational model, ACID, and a bias to application code generating the database schema, rather than the database shaping the application code. Learn SQL.
Related tool: a friend and I created `diffenv` for developers to easily compare (diff) development environments including environment variables:

https://github.com/error-central/diffenv

Helps for debugging those times when you say, “well it runs fine on my machine, what’s different about your machine??”
I'm not addressing your point on fairness but I've been working on a similar program but instead of taking locks out on the queue table I maintain a consumers position for locked and acknowldeged messages on the consumers table. It makes lots of queries simpler. Here's a simplified schema using SQL Server:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Nodes] (
[Id] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[NetworkId] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[Locked] INT NOT NULL,
[Acknowledged] INT NOT NULL,
);

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Messages] (
[Id] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[NetworkId] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[NodeId] UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL,
[Payload] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL,
[InsertedOrder] INT DEFAULT (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.MessageSequence) NOT NULL,
[TimestampUtc] DATETIME2 (7) DEFAULT (sysutcdatetime()) NOT NULL,
);

Select *
From Nodes With (Rowlock, Holdlock)
Where NetworkId = @networkId
And Id = @nodeId

Multi-tenancy is per database.

I can feel connective tissues and other pains that have been attributed to it by medical folk. It got pretty bad. Stress, anxiety, and other things also contribute. I noticed that it would be worse shortly after consuming high raw sugar foods or fatty/carby things like pizza, so I changed the diet over time to see what helped and didn't and ended up with this. Red meat also contributed but not as obviously/responsively. The changes I made caused these issues to slowly decrease and now pretty much entirely gone away.
that's surprising to me considering the vast majority of Chinese netizens have come online way after IPv6 was determined to be the future.

Also, in a country of more than a billion people, most of whom use the internet with at least 1 device, IPv4 quickly leads to address shortages.

Yea, Kremlin supported AfD is having a success. Putin is happily destroying european unity while we let their propaganda hit us in social media daily. [1]

The Russia induced Syrian migrant wave of 2015 sure helped undermine the current right wing popularity rise. [2]

But that party is planning to remigrate people with the wrong blood. The plan is to take away their German passports, move them into northern African country and create laws to make their life's as hard as possible in a decade long project to remove the unassimilated with German passports.

Hey. Reposting my other comment here since the reply is similar:

I can feel connective tissues and other pains that have been attributed to it by medical folk. It got pretty bad. Stress, anxiety, and other things also contribute. I noticed that it would be worse shortly after consuming high raw sugar foods or fatty/carby things like pizza, so I changed the diet over time to see what helped and didn't and ended up with this. The changes I made caused these issues to slowly decrease and now pretty much entirely gone away.

So, very minimal or no body pains in general where it used to be a lot worse. Sleep is improved, and my energy levels are more stable. I've also noticed that I don't get hungry as often, and when I do it doesn't cause mood issues like it used to. I used to be quite grumpy if I hadn't eaten in a while.
Yep. And there are many many many other examples like this - for instance UK employee protections are quite good.....unless it's your first 2 years of employment. In which case you get almost nothing - within the first 2 years you can be let go without any reason, and it's not redundancy either so it doesn't trigger all kinds of protections - it's just "it's not working out, bye" - same as US, or worse actually in some ways.
It's ironic coz in the 90s they were condescendingly told they were shooting themselves in the foot by not having a "free market" and centrally planning. Now they're too successful and it's a threat.
The "good" options are doing what their funders demand them to do and that is keeping the current system limping onward.

The opposition, the far right ones are however funded by new sources, shady ones. Their platform is thin as ice, there is no substance behind their loud slogans. But the slogans they use, do reach peoples heads. If the current leaders are not able to take these points for them selves and gain back the votes by actually doing what the proletariat want, then a very sudden and painful fall is the outcome. It has always been that way.
From the screenshots, it looks like the kind of content you could scrape off the internet without LLMs.
Yes and they likely will win in some eastern states.

Which sucks, because I happen to live there. And my partner with latin american origins often experience racism here. So we are thinking of going away, but the mass rallies are giving me some hope.

I'm a sysadmin and find IPv6 easier to use. You can easily make short ipv6 address just by having a larger prefix and then omitting zeroes (with `::`) in your host-part that you don't need.

Take `2001:db8::1`. Here `2001:db:8` would be your network address and `1` your host-id. For example, a router. `2001:db8:2` could be a server and so on.

But I am not sure why grand poster is downvoted so much. This is a significant and important sign of the liberal and democratic side.. still the frustration is huge and fear and anger is constantly rising.. humans are bad and egoist. Extremism as everywhere is not avoided with good people showing their good faith, unfortunately, the only thing that keeps it low is happy people without economic stress.. in that sense the world is bound for trouble in many places, as we already see it. Democratic protests are good, but in the end it is democracy and current politics that fail here, not the misguided humans, and the other side which shows up won't improve it much..
This is known in some circles as the fourth turning; in others, it's just common sense: failed policies lead to demoralising the center electorate and activating the extreme, both left and right.
I think that Reddit and AWS are mostly non-ipv6 yet as well, that's a pretty big deal.
The thing that triggered the protests was a meeting of the far right including AFD people where they discussed a plan to deport all migrants including those that have a German passport. There is no listening to that kind of blatantly unconstitutional nonsense.

I do think the communication from the left on migration is often problematic, at least for the center-left parties in Germany there isn't a huge difference to what the center-right parties want. The main difference is the rethoric and how they talk about it.
Oh yes. I live in Berlin. Usually far right demonstrations are countered by left wing ones. Often at the same time. And then there's a lot of police to keep the groups separated. During covid, there were a lot of right wing protests in Berlin.

In general, people demonstrate a lot in Berlin. Mostly, that's just business as usual for the police. Tens of thousands is not that many people for a demonstration. If people feel strongly about things, they get bigger crowds together.

Anyone that feels strongly about something can organize a demonstration. The only requirement is that you have to register these. The local police has a helpful overview of upcoming demonstrations: https://www.berlin.de/polizei/service/versammlungsbehoerde/v...

Most of these are just a handful of people protesting whatever. But some of these can draw quite a crowd and they routinely block streets to allow protesters to do their thing.
Ah ok. Hard to tell from abroad.
You dont know what they are demonstrating against.
These have been large protests for Germany. No need to talk it down.

Over the weekend about one million people demonstrated.
"The AfD has gotten louder and stronger last year, and it's reaching further and further into other parties' voter bases"

They reached into actual daily politics of the government - because Chancellor Scholz now also say things like "we have to start massivly kicking immigrants out"

I wanted to avoid that much red meat since it also caused problems for me, but not as obviously, so I didn't go with this. I still eat vegetables and other things, and avoid red meats about 90% of my meals, so probably not the same.

Different things work for different people though, so this thing that I came up with may only work well enough for me but not for others, and carnivore for others.
No worries, eventually devs will be able to replace Web dev with ChromeOS dev on their curriculums.
Kremlin supports everyone who is useful for them, Schroedder wasn't involved in AfD (last time I checked, which was a long time ago, anyway)
Maybe we should ask Derek Lowe :)
Final wakeup call for the other parties.
Is there a right-wing party in Germany? What happened in Greece was that a conservative party (one of the big two) started rising in power, and that took many votes away from the far right party. Maybe the case in Germany is that it's a choice between "far-right" and "leftish"?
Yes 60m downloads is a lot of downloads. But it’s not 60m developers manually clicking the download link every week. Not is it 60m times that “npm install rimraf” has been called.
What is happening is that many projects, some big some just hello world tutorials, have listed rimraf in the package.json file for that project. Then when “npm install” is run, all the packages get downloaded.
And what is more, many people build their software in CI builds, like travisci, circleci, or GitHub actions. The build scripts will also then downloaded everything listed in package.json. And if you do multiple builds a day, then that’s multiple downloads each day.

Is it very inefficient? Yes it is.
And npmjs.com will block your IP if you do too many downloads in on day.

Actually is says 86m a week here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf

If 25% percent of the people sympathize with a political party, by what logic can they all be declared "extremists"?

Maybe the extremists are those who gather in the streets to pressure for the ban of a political party.
V Safe: First Smart Locker
Everything around is becoming smart, the watch we wear, the phone in our hand even entertianment device like TV is getting smart but the place where we store hard earned money and valuables are not smart and because of that year on year number of theft cases increasing.

We decided to solve this real world problem through our smart locker, V SAFE(www.thevsafe.com). V SAFE is smart enough to identify their owners and only to them it will give access and any other unauthenticated attempts will be detected in a few seconds and notified to the user immediately thus they can prevent theft and burglary before it happens.
If you make $250k/yr+ in the US all of those problems melt away due to the availability of disposable income.

In the EU you top out at €100-150k.

One thing to note is they used a different vendor than usual. In most recent cases, Unit Image do their cinematics, but weren’t the ones for your 2023 example.

Wow learned something new today. What's interesting is that the decimal representation looks more like a phone number which people would be used to. Interesting that IP addresses as they are written today was the format that won, as a kid before learning how computers worked I always found it weird how 255 was the highest number in each group.
That is just plain untrue. They deport criminal migrants or migrants that are not under international asylum law. And we are talking about few thousands per year.
Is it done or isn't it?

Exactly. Notice how the two comments calling out the childish comment, one simply asking why and one questioning the claim, were downvoted. "We need more women in the field" really means "we want more women in the field" and they refuse to reflect on why they want this. I assume it must be some kind of guilt that's been drummed in.
As someone who doesn't live in Europe and never set foot in Europe, it seems like the #1 issue is immigration - both legal and refugees. Am I correct?
I really like the idea, but I don't really get why everyone is using the RP2040 instead of the ESP32. Having Bluetooth on a Bus Pirate world be amazing!
The mainstream right/conservative party is the CDU/CSU. The AFD is a newer party to the right of them.

Depends if you randomize the host-part or not. IPv6 has a feature called privacy extensions.

https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/ch06s05.html
There was a proposal for that: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mishra-6man-variable-s...
I started to prefer it after I foundout that with IPv6 every Docker container can have its own IP address and this can be used to solve the hairpin NAT problem.
I've seen the headlines "tens of thousands" in several places, but also estimates that 1.5 million people showed up.
I was thinking compared to a Russian invasion, the Israeli-Palestine conflict. For the first time, it feels like people are reacting to the implications and not just the results.

On local networks is where IPv6 is the most advantageous to me right now.

For the Internet use, it's mostly just more addresses to me, but on LANs, there are so many more useful features. Unique link local addresses, various multicast addresses...

I can drop 10 new devices into a VLAN, and ping ff02::1%iface to enumerate them all and start communicating with them right away without any kind of configuration, not even SLAAC or DHCPv6 needed.

Some months ago my company got certified with the ISO 27001 thing about information security management. It was a horrible process to be part of and in charge for for the IT side and the consultants and auditors where the types of people that take themselves too seriously, haven't worked in a real environment in 20 years and come and suggest things just because it's in the standard, but with no context as to how companies operate. Anyhow, apparently this certification is somehow important for a lot corporate clients, I always said that's it's mostly security theatre. Now I see that both Atlassian and Trello are ISO 27001 certified and they leak the data like this... How do they even get away with this in an audit, maybe because it's just a worthless certification.
If they were targeting an adequately scientifically trained audience, sure. I don’t think they are.
man, these comments are something. hacker news is scary now.

It definitely seems to be a worldwide phenomenon. You forgot that immigration is also fueled by the receiving side, who won't admit their dependence on cheap labour that pays taxes without needing to be raised and cared for.
Woke ideology in general. But yes, immigration is a big part of it.

> Something that isn't talked much about IPv6 and I believe has subtle and indirect influence on it's adoption is that it is far far far less human-readable than IPv4.

No shit Sherlock: an IPv4 is 4 bytes. An IPv6 requires 16. This is four times as much data, it has to be less readable, that’s just the price of a bigger address space.

Now one could have argued that 8 bytes, heck, even 6 bytes, would have been enough. I guess it would have, but having a /48, or even a /64 range, per user, is quite convenient: we can ditch the NAT (we probably won’t, but we can).

But even then, 8, or even 6 bytes, remain harder to read than 4.
What I tought, they should have used some more official library to manage git instead of doing the work themselves, but perhaps there was none?
I shut this off halfway through. It was terrible.

I was rather nonplussed by the rundown environment, and crass attire of the host and guest, and the cacophony produced from this guy's code was not really music at all. I am sure he knows what he's doing in terms of code, but couldn't he actually carry a tune of some kind, rather than random MIDI pulses?
> That's not a lot

Indeed, that wouldn’t be a lot: the framing in the article is grossly misleading. The actual number of protesters this weekend was hundreds of thousands, and plausibly >1M (not “tens of thousands”), according to unanimous reporting in various German media and official sources (see e.g. https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/demos-gegen-rechts-bilanz-1...).
That something might just be the urgency of change in things we’ve taken for grander the past ~2 generations (~60years)

Right at the top of that list:
- using fossil fuels as cheap energy
- assuming continued growth while earths resources are limited (yes tech is getting more efficient)
- relying on respected and trusted media entities (opposed to outlets bought by corporations with clear interests or maybe(?) state controlled social media trolls

Change is happening, coming fast and is becoming harder to ignore but people don’t like change.

You know what it is. Kreml is the russian, german and swedish spelling and pronunciation of Kremlin.
as kids, we used to call it "making a den" :)
For context: This happened after an allegedly "secret plan against Germany" was leaked which the AfD conceived during a secret gathering and by which they want to "deport millions of citizens".

What is not said however is:

- that this meeting never was secret

- there was no plan conceived but rather a kind of conservative TED-talk of individuals

- that the smeared politicians (from other parties than AfD as well) are already suing the news outlet leaking this for libel

- that the leaking news-outlet is mostly government funded and its leadership almost entirley comprised of members of the ruling SPD- and Green-Party

- that not one of the attendees used the word "deportation"

- that not one of the attendees talked about "deporting citizens"

- that this meeting happened in november last year thus raising a lot of red flags about the timing of leaking this "story": As it just got released to the press days before the culmination of the government-critical, authentic, farmers-protests. Which are in contrast to the "anti-deportation" protests not run and organized by political parties (especially not those parties in power).
