The superferry was canned because of lobbying by airlines and car rental companies.

Currently, the only way to travel between the islands is by actual airplanes, through airports, with all the annoyances that comes with that, TSA, security, bag checks, prohibited items, and a gazillion other rules. That's what this thing will compete against, and it's pretty much a slam dunk.

Unless it will be lobbied to death like the predecessors.
Evidence of [x] is not proof of [x], but in this specific case the claim is particularly unreasonable.

Because while a cosmic microwave background radiation is something that would be expected from a Big Bang, its actual reality is weird and contradicted previous expectations. It has to do with casual connectivity. "A" can only possibly influence "B" if A could reach B at the speed of light. But the relative homogeneity of our universe is suggestive that parts of the universe which should not be casually connected, are causally connected.

So this discovery quickly led to the invention of cosmic inflation [1] whereby the early expansion of the universe is said to have dramatically accelerated well beyond the speed of light, and then slowed down - in order to enable these regions of space to become causally connected. No possible means or mechanism have been suggested, so it remains nothing but a rather inelegant hack to try to make what we observe fit a preexisting hypothesis that it largely contradicted.

As experiments to try to provide supporting evidence for inflation have also turned up negative, it's also becoming one of those contemporary model driven hypotheses that requires ever more exotic physics to even make it possible, as each failed prediction gets assimilated into the model to make it keep fitting what we see. Just add more epicycles. [2]

You were literally responding to a comment talking about how git isn't suitable for this problem, and seemed to be suggesting that ec2 and a build script should be sufficient...

>Instead of spending time planning and concocting roadmaps, replace that activity by talking to current or potential customers on how their lives can be improved, and letting that determine your next feature.

There are countless other articles claiming that customers don't know what they want. And that once you implement a feature they asked for, they aren't going to use it.

So, which way is it?

The other way around.

Generally it is best to create an insulated box that stays warm when it is very cold and then cool it down when it is hot - because the reason it gets hot is due to increased energy outside (normally the big glowy thing in the sky) and that energy can be captured and used to power a house sized fridge.

Energy to warm things up tends to be the sort of energy we can't really use any more.
Fair warning though, your battery life will be like 1/4 of what it is on Windows, and Linux's memory handling on OOM is much worse than Windows. So saving resources probably isn't the best motivation.
Why does your second system get to have information written in it that the first doesn't, or get to be more vague? You can write tickets at any level of detail.

You can then just tag them.

English says "1/4", or "1 over 4", or "1 quarter".

Japanese says "4 bun no 1", or the practical equivalent of saying "4 under 1" in English.

This will have the effect of smoothing the image even if you didn't want to do that, which is part of the reason people are convinced phone cameras "overprocess" images or try to beautify you even when they aren't.

You have to counteract this by actually putting the noise back when you're done.
If you try "ping" and "ping6" towards a multi-protocol host, you see both send 64 bytes each, so while v6 source and destination addresses take up lots of extra space, the v6 IP packets have less of the "this part could be useful for tcp" which means icmp pings can be of the same size, even though the two addresses eat up lots more bytes.

Not sure if the same goes for game UDP packets, but the optional header stuff in v6 IP packets means more of it goes to the useful parts of the payload and less to "the sum of all protocol bits and flags that is not used by all traffic".

How cheaply do you think you can run a clinical trial with human patients in the absence of bureaucracy? I imagine increased insurance and recruitment costs would eat up the difference.
A benefit to making some things annoying to do is that people will do less of them. For example, if there is no RAII, more types will be written in such a way that they do not require deinit to be called.

As an aside, solely for the purpose of making Zig usable as an environment for people whose primary professional responsibility is not really software (quantitative researchers, data scientists, etc.) I would prefer if RAII was somehow very painful to implement for a type rather than impossible. That's the status quo for dynamic dispatch.

The Ekranoplan, or so-called Caspian Sea Monster, was truly massive, and could no doubt fit several of these puny tourist versions in its hold. For these kind of endeavours you'd really want to go big or home - there's a limited enough tourist market if all you're planning to transport is some sightseers without any luggage!

Something that could take a few shipping containers, automobiles, passengers etc. however, you'd think there would be a greater demand for something like that.
Amazon has over 30k engineers. I'm sure there are mediocre ones among them - thousands probably. But for a lot of tasks in the company of Amazon's size, "I’d use this off the shelf solution" is exactly the right answer. Sometimes it isn't, but there would be thousands of places where it is.

There are endless protocols and methods which embed ipv4 addresses to ipv6 ones. RFC 4291 specifies exactly what you want, all-zero prefix+ipv4 address: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4291.html#section-2.5.5

See also the text representation section: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4291.html#section-2.2

3. An alternative form that is sometimes more convenient when dealing
with a mixed environment of IPv4 and IPv6 nodes is
x:x:x:x:x:x:d.d.d.d, where the 'x's are the hexadecimal values of
the six high-order 16-bit pieces of the address, and the 'd's are

the decimal values of the four low-order 8-bit pieces of the
address (standard IPv4 representation). Examples:

0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3

0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:129.144.52.38

or in compressed form:

::13.1.68.3

::FFFF:129.144.52.38

So in addition to having the addresses embedded on binary level, you even have that text notation that uses traditional ipv4 dot-notation!

You might ask why they are not more prevalent, but then you will find the practical issues that various transition mechanisms are attempting to solve.
But was it military-grade encryption?
12 ms is 83 Hz, one of them sounds better than the other on the marketing copy I guess
You probably use fmt instead. You provide a format string, an anonymous struct (a tuple) containing the values to be formatted, and a writer or byte slice, and you get the formatted string written to the writer or the byte slice.

The irony is that the confocal microscope is the workhorse of biology. A scanning confocal often costs a few hundred thousand minimum and is a pain to maintain so individual labs don’t have one, but every lab and near every project will need you to do some microscopy work, most often confocal. Yet, it’s not what won the Nobel prize, the practically useless superresolution work is what won it. The brilliance of confocal is that it lets you worry less about sample prep than a regular microscope, while with superresolution microscopes you have to worry about it infinetely more.
Ralph Moss’s “Cancer Incorporated” is a must read. It details the deep corruption in the oncology industry. Oncologists are paid a lot of money for each prescription. Clinical trials for new cancer drugs are absolutely full of shenanigans, such as cherry picking test subjects. New breakthroughs are announced weekly, but death rates remain unchanged from 50 years ago (aside from lung cancer deaths, which decreased due to anti-smoking campaigns).

Depressing.

It’s a very profitable industry, and profits corrode science.
Using two files would definitely work and, honestly, be a lot simpler. But it's a neat trick to make it a single file. For my toy language, it mostly serves to hide the fact that I'm not really compiling to native. People won't ask questions if it's a single executable that file(1) says is a statically linked binary.

Appending to the end of the ELF file does work. It won't mess anything up because your bytes will be outside of any ELF section. You can insert a known sentinel string and then search for it at runtime. The main problem is that you have to open your own executable file up for reading so you can locate the data at the end, and on Linux that requires having /proc, AFAIK. The nice thing about these other techniques is we're not assuming anything about the filesystem we're in. In a chroot environment you might not have /proc.
No, it’s not the same thing as “being full of shit”. You took a nuance and you turned it into a carnival.

The incentive structures you hint at don’t make sense either.

Well, in the 90s, you would be able to get a /24 by just filling out some paperwork. How is it today, how easy and cheap can I get a /24 now? Is it two forms and an email?

The simple reason people have to start paying AWS for them is that it isn't easy or cheap for AWS to buy large ranges anymore. If it was just "fill out a form telling someone I need 4 million more IPs" then AWS would have some cheap junior technician doing that, but now they need to rake in money to cover the expenses to get IPs and customers that need v4 needs to pay for it.

You can check the rate of handing out v4 ips in 2012* and see that it was never going to be sustainable. The solution to the known-in-advance problem of ipv4 running out was not to .. not hand them out and just leave internet as it looked in Jan-2011 when IANA ran out of networks to hand out. So while it may be fun to state "I heard this long long ago", it just means others had better vision than you.

I would agree. Applying to every public job posting out there is a waste of time.

Either the postings are fake (there for legal reasons, or to make the company look like they are healthy and growing) or they will be spammed by so many applicants that even if your resume is a perfect match it will just get lost in the noise.

I'm not sure where you're getting this. There are no inter-island ferries anymore in Hawaii, except for the short tourist hops from Maui to Lanai and Molokai. Much longer trips between the big island, Maui and Oahu were possible for a couple years up until 2009 on the Superferry, but it closed after years of legal wrangling over environmental issues.

How should I manage my personal backlog? There’s over a 100 post-it’s on my desk. Should I create another backlog for longer-term ideas or maybe hire a personal PO?
Huh? IPv6 does have backwards-compatible-ish notation for writing IPv4 addresses. To take your example: 1.2.3.4 would be ::ffff:1.2.3.4, the 96-bit prefix indicated by ::ffff: is where all of the IPv4 addresses live in the larger IPv6 space.

If your issue is with the use of colons at all, they were a deliberate choice so that computers doing string processing could never confuse the two types of addresses.

As far as I can be bothered to care, schemes involving having other people store your money such as tax withholdings and insurance policies exist primarily to save people from themselves and their lack of budgeting capabilities.

Most people can't budget, poor people especially so (it's among the biggest and most likely reasons why they are poor). They see money, they spend it all immediately. Saving? Investing? "roflmao" or "I can't.", they will say. The only way to address this so certain, specific, important payments are made absolutely is to literally take and keep the money out of the person's hands until the payment is made.

There’s an argument that all maths are discovered instead of invented or engineered. LLM hardware certainly is hard engineering but the numbers you put in it aren’t, once you have them; if you stumbled upon them by chance or they were revealed to you in your sleep it’d work just as well.

>> Probably just a tourist attraction.

Yes and no. One the one hand, absolutely a tourist attraction. Its projected to be cheaper than flying, and hopes to be a lot less hassle. (Expect pushback from the airlines. )

However small capacity, cheap, accessible transport is a boon for islanders living in archipelago. For starters you're not bound to islands big enough for an airport.

Given that the vehicle is electric, and hawaii has abundant solar energy, it could end up being very cost effective.

So what starts small, and touristy, might end up being mainstream and useful in lots of similar (ie island) contexts.

On the environmental front I expect the usual "complain about anything new" crowd, coupled with push-back from existing operators. But it's hard to see how this does more environmental harm than planes or boats.
KPI.
Thanks, the Chrome Extension really brings the product to life.
It comes down to user experience.

How many people managing networks who knew their ip addresses by heart and typed it regularly for all kind of tasks were put off by the new format and decided, consciously or not, to wait until "I really have to deal with it"?

Some people get really angry when you point that out ;)

Good thing for IPv6 it didn't really have any competitor (except IPv4).
It depends on the distribution of probabilities of being used. If least recently used data has the same probability to be requested than the others, then random picking will do as well as LRU.

When the least recently used data does have a lower probability to be requested, than LRU will outperform random picking.

There is no silver bullet algorithm.
>Small components and low-level reusability are key in UIs that are easy to change.

Not sure what he means by low level reusability? Instead of writing a high level component top to bottom, let's say a dialog, write some primitives that can be combined to build that high level component and others?

Ekranoplan is a class of vehicles; the "Caspian Sea Monster" was an individual experimental ekranoplan (the Lun-class was a later large combat ekranoplan, with a short career.)

I don't know, I think for commercial ventures without bottomless military funding backing, starting small makes sense, there's lots of places small tourist ekranoplans could find a market.

Big Island never got superferry. Back in the 70s there was Seaflite on Boeing hydroplanes that was short lived as well.
If you're happy with a compile and link step, you can embed arbitrary data at link time with an ordinary linker by making yourself a linkable object with objcopy(1). I've played with it in the past as a way to embed an sqlite database into a ruby interpreter, which lets you do funky things like reimplementing `require` to read from the embedded database.
