No, I mean that the IPv4 packets go through a stateful NAT engine on the provider side, instead of going through potentially multi-path L2/L3 switching fabrics that are stateless w.r.t. the content of the packets (especially if they're actually routed L3 fabrics, not auto-discovering L2 fabrics).

Thus the packets have to take a detour through the NAT engine instead of taking the shortest physical path to the destination as they can with a plain stateless L3 switched fabric.
E.g. in an AON with L2/L3 switches on the provider side of the last-mile link, you can easily bend the packets right around in that switch if you're WebRTC calling your neighbor. No need to even go beyond the curbside switch.

Other than that, it's still typically gonna be a physical detour to the NAT engine instead of going straight to the destination, as the NAT engine isn't fused into the main fabric data plane.
Yes, that's exactly what the linked code does: Calls your function, and if it returns an error, check through the wrapped errors to see if it's one of the SQLite errors which should be retried. If it is, try the transaction again; if not, pass the error up.
A month ago HN was discussing the lull in major storms so far during the 2024 hurricane season. As I wrote at the time, also noting that climates and storm conditions are complex systems with numerous factors:

Rapidly-developing storms with access to a great deal of thermal energy and tropical moisture increase the likelihood of major storms developing rapidly with little warning and severe impacts. That's no joke to deal with.

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41367512>

Helene largely matched that description, and has been[1] a major storm, landing as a category 4 (220 km/h / 140 mph winds) having intensified from tropical storm status only 28 hours before, with an immense storm area, engulfing multiple US states, dumping prodigious amounts of rain, and responsible so far for 70+ deaths and $22 billion in damages, with tallies likely to increase. The main saving grace has been that it was fast-moving at landfall minimising the worst of wind and rain damage. Its path slowed dramatically afterwards, and some of the worst damage has been reported well inland, in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, from heavy flooding.

Wikipedia has a continuously updated page on the effects of Helene as well: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Helene>

As I write this, Nullschool's Earth Weather Visualiser is showing two large storms likely to develop in the Gulf by 4 October, with another major hurricane well off in the Atlantic:

<https://earth.nullschool.net/#2024/10/04/1200Z/wind/surface/...>

The most westerly of the storms eye is indicated at the time of this post, that location may shift for those viewing the forecast later. The easterly storm may well hit Florida again.

Those who complained about the "alarmist" climate scientists and jouralists who "cried wolf" might take some heed.

________________________________

Notes:

1. I'm avoiding use of the past tense as though Helene has officially dissipated, it appears that the relic low will re-form out over the subtropical Atlantic to become a storm off the Eastern seaboard near the Chesapeake Bay, before finally dissipating for good: <https://earth.nullschool.net/#2024/10/03/0400Z/wind/surface/...>. Such "zombie storms" are being noted increasingly, with Hurricane John being another example: <https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/back-hurricane-streng...>.
The same could be said about the US Government.
Can someone help me understand the first footnote?

>[1] These examples show why it's a mistake to assume that economic inequality must be evidence of some kind of brokenness or unfairness. It's obvious that different people have different interests, and that some interests yield far more money than others, so how can it not be obvious that some people will end up much richer than others? In a world where some people like to write enterprise software and others like to make studio pottery, economic inequality is the natural outcome.

Yes, clearly different passions lead to different industries which mean different economic outcomes.

But when people talk about "fairness", it usually means quality of life right? The ability to afford good healthcare, high quality food, housing, security, providing for a family, social opportunities. How are we defining fairness?

I have no idea of how to solve this or create the perfect utopia, btw. I'm just confused on the point of the footnote.
I also grew up in a rural town, in Norway. I think internet made me more of a "world citizen", empathic to all kinds of people, than I would have been without. A small town can be quite unwelcome to those not like us.

But I wonder if some of that is lost now to those being "raised on the internet"? That things are too big. There were small forums, behave, as you know the avatars of everyone and they become your friends in a way. But on reddit, everyone is just faceless, I will never chat with the same person there again. So no sense of community, don't learn to feel empathy for others in the same way.

I also wonder how my choice of games affected this. Playing WoW, you had to behave, get friends, join a guild, and spent time with those. I got friends I've visited in other countries, and learned much about life elsewhere through this. But my irl friends playing FPS shooting games on xbox live? Mostly swearing and trash talk, never to see the players again after getting a new random pairing.
I completely agree with the comment, except for the Flask example. Django would be a better example.

Both Flask and Golang's http package have simplicity and minimalism as their philosophy. Of course, most mature projects will eventually diverge from that. But both can start out as a single file with just a few lines of code.

I would say the same is true for crypto miners and their increasing need for increasing kilowatt power to solve their algo's.
Great project, I get excited about tools that I didn't expect to get the Open Source treatment pop up on the list.
>you have to choose between working on what interests you the most and something else

I think this is where most people are and it can be common for all effort to amount to nothing more than "survival activities", with fewer options than normal occurring under increasing macro economic challenges.

In that case I would think it's good to never completely stop doing what you love most that is realistically within reach. Even if you can not give it very much of the full dedication it might deserve.

If you can't be fully "in the game" due to insufficient resources or something like that, maybe you can function somewhat adjacent in an even more sustainable way, maintaining better readiness through time for some rare opportunities that are almost never attainable, or for very long.

And keep it in perspective for opportunities to up the priority or focus, even as less-elusive things might come more easily within reach along the way.

These stuff are never really hard, but you will make countless vulnerabilities that way. The most important job of a good framework is cutting down significantly on the possible to get wrong use cases, exposing you to already safe APIs.

Click-mapping came earlier, and there may have been a few places mouse-movement and cross-page-load session tracking some sessions, but I don’t think it was a “just turn it on and leave it on” thing for even most large sites. And a lot of early heat maps came from user studies, which is the right way to do that.

[edit] also, that just happened to be the first time I’d seen a single session represented that way, rather than aggregates. Again, it wasn’t some brand-new thing then, it’d been around long enough to have multiple companies offering it as a service, not just an internal tool at a couple giants.
In other words, lots of unexplored potential.

It's true that Covid superspreading was a thing, but the R0 for WT was 2.66 [1], which is >> 1 even without superspreaders. Heck, Rt was often > 1 during lockdowns in Europe and the US when there were zero superspreading events. It took an unprecedented 12-week lockdown to put it out in Wuhan/Hubei. One person per household was only allowed to leave the house once every two days. [2]

It's also true that Omicron required much less contact to spread. Instead of being in the room for 2 minutes like in my WT example, 10 or 20 seconds might be enough. [3]

I do agree that what we know about H5N1 is plenty enough to be alarmed.

You can; but I'd not be surprised if there are commercial setups that use IPv6 packets for everything, including situations with IPv4 addresses.
I think it would allow getting rid of most of the ethernet header overhead, by basically just talking bare IPv6 packets.

You know, it's funny.

Democracy is essentially a prerequisite for a nation to be considered civilized in the 21st century. Obviously, they claim to be a democracy. They clearly aren't. Nobody believes them.

Socialism and communism are failed ideologies that degenerate into dictatorships. They have never worked anywhere in the world, not even once. These people have every incentive in the world to hide their ideology and pretend that it's actually something else. But they don't. They're proud of their communism nonsense. They'll tell you to your face about their socialist ideals. I have videos of our current president giving lengthy speeches on the subject matter. I remember one particularly troublesome video he made just before the elections where he straight up said the state should confiscate everybody's inheritances and give you nothing but what you need to survive.

But somehow it's news to people, the fact these guys are socialists. I have to point it out constantly. People inevitably respond with skepticism. I have to cite evidence every single time. And when I do cite all the things which back up my world view, people just ignore all of it and call me a conspiracy theorist. Like the other guy did in this comments section.

I think the response was an uncharitable reading of my comment. Obviously you get 10 people together and you have all kinds of demographics even in the same neighborhood. The question is about which of many are dominant, or which are simply missing. I didn’t think that needed to be said.

100% agree on that. I think he did have some good arguments that were lost in his manifesto, but as they say a broken clock is wrong twice.

Its a shame he used such violent and extream means, I think some of his points, not most of them, but some of them were interesting when I self reflect on how I depend on society and how technology is basically become a part of human evolution.

That said I can't condone what he did or how he used violence to further his own agenda.

What data broker would even sell this data?
Not any different from being red-team'd, but you do you. But thanks for your input -- it makes more sense that your apparent reluctance to be challenged makes it clear why you think my take is odd.

Even still, I challenge you to challenge yourself to understand where your blind spots are. I've done it many times and have found significant problems with the open datasets I've worked with. If you think my take is weird, it's only because you're not looking or the data you're looking at is inconsequential.

To me, this stuff is literal life and death. If we make mistakes in our analysis because of misinformation from the source, then the lives and deaths of people we're trying to understand becomes tarnished. We can treat our neighbors better than that.

I’m the same as you and I tried taking motion sickness medication and it did absolutely nothing for me. Maybe you’ll be luckier, but I think some of us just aren’t made for VR.

FWIW I get motion sick easily in real life too, so I think I’m just screwed. I really wanted to play GT7 VR on PS5, but it was an absolute nonstarter unfortunately.
Quite a low comment. Terry Davis had schizophrenia and could code circles around just about anyone.
I sometimes wonder how much of a difference being raised on PC-s vs phones or tablets is there.

I am young enough that when I grew up phones started to become mainstream, and anecdotally people that started using PC-s before phones developed greater interest in technology later on.

In a way computers allow you to break stuff and learn how to fix it. Phones put you in a sandbox with a hose of internet content.
> This is actually all that Arch needs to have something called a stable branch

I don't think you understand how the Deck handles packaging. You cannot install most pacman or AUR packages on the Deck - root is locked by design and the main way you ingest packages is through filesystem overlays. This works great for centralized update models like the Deck relies on, and forcing users to adopt Flatpak avoids the dynamic linking breakage you would get otherwise. For games, this is excellent. For desktop/developer use, this is unusable.

You should check out NixOS for an Arch-like system with an emphasis on stability and huge package repos. Unlike Arch, NixOS is designed from the ground-up to operate on a read-only filesystem, while providing both declarative (configuration.nix) and iterative package (nix profile install) installation options. There are also read-only verions of other OSes like Bazzite and Kinoite, but Nix is the only one that really feels like Arch with more stability.
From an investors perspective looking at a group of people with randomly distributed interests, it seems like great advice to motivate each and every one of them to pursue their interest with all their energy and waste their lives on it. Some might get lucky and make the world a better place.

From the perspective of an individual who only gets assigned one or a few subjects to be interested in, not knowing whether these will bring fortune or not, not so useful advice. Chances are that you will fail, lose money and friends, and forget to spend time with your loved ones.

We have to differentiate between the "young Internet" that existed before Eternal September and the internet that existed afterwards, which is just "young" relative to most current users.

The former was definitely an elite monoculture composed of primarily young, white, nerdy American college students and faculty. It would be correct to say internet culture, for better or worse, comprised the common interests and affectations of that culture.
What is the longest you have ever worked on a single piece of software? If you are in some sort of consultancy or jump jobs every 2-3 years it most definitely won't be true.

If you think this is not true AND have spent 5+ years with the same piece of software you are an outlier...

The Itanium architecture is a weird weird architecture. It's not weird in the sense of Alpha's weirdness (e.g., the super weak memory model), which can be fairly easily compensated for, but it's weird in several ways that make me just stare at the manual and go "how are you supposed to write a compiler for this?" It's something that requires a sufficiently smart compiler to get good performance, while at the same time so designed as to make writing that sufficiently smart compiler effectively compiled.

It wouldn't surprise me if Itanium actually had pretty compelling SPECint numbers. But a lot of those compelling numbers would have come from massive overtuning of the compiler to the benchmark specifically. Something that's going to be especially painful for I/O-heavy workloads is that the gargantuan register files make any context switch painfully slow.

> The "coup" narrative is a myth. It's just talking point you read somewhere, thought it sounded nifty, and never thought to fact-check or question the logic behind.

You never thought for yourself it seems and just throw fact-check around. Janukowytsch was elected president of the country and was forcibly removed from that function. If you like him or not, it's by definition a coup.
