I struggled to get IPv6 running on my home network, then had issues with DNS dual stack once I got it going, so I turned it off.

That said, I think the difficulty of IPv6 is in the UI of the home routers that implement it, and a lack of sane defaults.

The ISP should give every SOHO/residential customer a /60. The router of a simple IPv6 should do prefix delegation. The router should default to SLAAC for local IP addresses, and configuring DNS with Router Advertisements. And residential routers can be set up to have an internal DNS server which populates the ".internal" domain with hostnames from the network.

As a network admin, you have to learn new things like the uses of IPv6 multicast, and ND, the lack of ARP, and some other things. Home users shouldn't have to care about that.
Pretty sure the reason people aren't upgrading is that Windows 11 is full of ads and crapware, not because of the hardware reqs. It sucks ass, why should anyone upgrade?
I was thinking, since the post mentions not being able to get exactly 10g. But you can get 15g/25g exactly, so you're at 10g net by putting them on either side of the scale.
I agree. This is also the type of mentality that if one throws it out to the public makes everyone throw up their hands and say “do we worry about browsing the internet now? That’s a lot of CO2 too?”and then people get tired of worrying about it and just say “toss it all, I don’t care any longer”. There is fatigue that sets in when we’re supposed to constantly worry about everything so might as well worry about nothing and not fix the really big problems like where we source our energy from and getting rid of fossil fuels and the chemicals that corporations are trying to convince us are not that bad into our bodies. Now I gotta worry about emails and the most energy efficient file transfer methods? I don’t think so.
You can implement a different mvcc model today, without patching code.
it's how the cross platform software works and has always worked. demanding a total rewrite just to publish on a single channel is insane, especially since this used to be the ONLY way to do things.

google could always contribute to the open source app to implement the features they wish to see, but instead of using their billions for good they'd rather use it for evil.
The challenging thing is, cheating students also say they're being falsely accused. Tough times in academia right now. Cheating became free, simple, and ubiquitous overnight. Cheating services built on top of ChatGPT advertise to college students; Chrome extensions exist that just solve your homework for you.
What’s the appeal of Windows now, is it primarily the productivity tools? So many Linux OS are user friendly to a fault, like Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian. I think if someone is setting up Windows for grandma to use Facebook on, then surely Ubuntu can serve the same purpose? Maybe some dedicated grandkids can try and report back.
Heh, in my local developer community I have a bit of a reputation for being “the guy” to talk to about distributed systems. I’d done a bunch of work in the early days of the horizontal-scaling movement (vs just buying bigger servers) and did an M.Sc focused on distributed systems performance.

Whenever anyone would come and ask for help with a planned distributed system the first question I would always ask is: does this system actually need to be distributed?! In my 15 years of consulting I think the answer was only actually “yes” 2 or 3 times. Much more often than was helping them solve the performance problems in their single server system; without doing that they would usually just have ended up with a slow complex distributed system.

Edit: lol this paper was not popular in the Distributed Systems Group at my school: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/hotos15/hotos...

Arduino is very much less about the board itself, and more of a software framework. Every single "Arduino compatible" board beyond the standard Uno or Micro have a bunch of macros essentially just telling the compiler what the standard Arduino pin definitions go where. That even extends to boards like the 2560, since I know the port registers and the silk screening on that board are completely different.
After 20 years of Linux, my only use for Windows is as a runtime engine for Visio and Project running in a VM. All I really ask for is a secure runtime with updates. What annoys me is when I start getting popups and ads in my start menu or desktop when going to launch said Visio or Project.

Hopefully it keeps driving people away to Linux or sadly even Mac, it isn't really needed for much these days, even games.

Does user mean 'forced into malicious spyware eco-system in order to complete University tasks under surveillance' these days? If so, yes, I sadly had to give my maxed out 11th gen X1 to M$ spyware to do school work now.

I'm taking a break this semester so it just sits with a dead battery in the closet for now. Such a waste of good hardware.

I think this is why, just like the legacy financial system, these obsolete, bloated forms of spying disguised as an OS will never go away: you're forced into abject compliance with no recourse with only repercussions if you deviate unless you're willing to de-couple entirely.

There are no alternatives if you do work using these enterprise based products, and if you're one of the few lucky WoH class you pretty much allow this thing to monitor you day and night at this point. Same goes for your smart phone, but at least you can just get a dumb phone there and most won't be the wiser.
So... Can you enlighten us how it went?
This was true 25 years ago when I was in the software industry in SF (I'm retired now), and has probably always been true in the corporate world.

I worked for an old cell phone company called Air Touch, and my job mostly consisted of writing and maintaining some scripts and solving the occasional data cleanup or import/export problem. My training and experience were minimal, although I did a good job even if I do say so myself. My title? Software engineer.
You're not wrong, but that's a rather bleak outlook.

I can only speak anecdotally, but there have been dozens of times where I've had to fix something and I had to constantly go back-and-forth to a corresponding tech manual PDF scrolling up and down through hundreds of pages, makes AR very worthwhile to me.

For juggling I was referring to people who essentially can already juggle and want to learn new patterns. It's always going to be more difficult if you lack the requisite fundamental basic hand eye coordination and timing to be able to juggle at all.

The latency aspect is interesting, but if you've ever played or had any experience with video games, particularly rhythm games, such as DDR, you'll know that the human brain is highly adaptable and able to recognize and compensate for latency. Additionally, latency isn't really a thing in juggling where it's not necessarily about the split second reflexes, it's about pattern recognition, your hands are usually already in the approximate right place for the ball to fall into the hands.

I also think there's a great space for progressive desensitization to help treat phobias with AR since you can effectively conjure anything at any level of sensitivity.

I guess, as is almost always the case - those with inherent curiosity will be able to take full advantage of these types of tools. But I'd like to think that it might inspire people to try new things.

And honestly if pornography drives mass adoption which results in corresponding advancements and lowering the price, then I'm OK with that deal.

It's the least worst option. Remember when that happened with Mozilla? Now they're an ad company. Take the bad (some bad mis-steps re:multiple lending during the pandemic, not rotating keys immediately after a hack) with the good (staying true to the human centric mission and not the money flows).
The distribution of the data is also the main problem with MBTI, AFAIK. Intra-/extraversion for example have a unimodal distribution with most people being somewhere in the middle. And exactly that middle is where MBTI makes the cut on their classification.
I was long thinking to move to bitwarden/vaultwarden from KeePass to solve sync problems, but never did. Is it now useless w/o that client? Is some sort of WebUI not enough? Does it apply to Android as well?
This entire heuristic is not even about testing. The people who created it aren’t interested in testing— they want an excuse to release their shitty products.

They believe that experiencing a product is just an afterthought. They are like chefs who never taste the food they cook.

Testing is a process of investigation and learning. What this post covers is mechanical fact checking.

I don't believe IA itself takes down pages that kiwifarms archives/links to. Rather they get a request to take it down and comply with it (correct me if I'm wrong here). I think IA is actually in a tough spot on this issue because they might be able to be sued eg. for defamation if they don't take down pages with personal info after a request to do so is made. Lastly, I doubt any new leadership would be less harsh on kiwifarms.

"- weight"

They don't post any specs, but it's supposed to be smaller than traditional motors. If it only needs a small amount to fill small gaps between disks, it might still be lighter than traditional motors. This is especially true if the PCBs are significantly lighter than windings and magnets.

"- leaks: liquids are always a hassle in things that move. The liquid wants to escape and will do so at the first opportunity."

Sure, but this seems like a small concern when we consider that any mobile electric motors require batteries and most of those contain sealed liquid. Even things like bearings in cars are sealed these days.

"- serviceability: if there is a leak and a significant loss of fluid, this doesn’t sound like something I can just go pick up at the hardware store like motor oil or hydraulic oil. I’m curious what it is… they simultaneously call it a commodity fluid but also proprietary."

Sure, if you have an oil leak in your ICE car today, you can't just go get oil, you first have to fix the leak. Don't forget that many transmissions for cars today get filled with "lifetime" fluid and are sealed. This, like the other concerns, is not likely to occur frequently and is consistent with existing paradigms.

I'd be more concerned with what it is rather than it simply being there. Like is it flammable, acidic, caustic, or hazardous in some other way?
This has nothing to do with AI, but rather about proof. If a teacher said to a student you cheated and the student disputes it. Then in front of the dean or whatever the teacher can produce no proof of course the student would be absolved. Why is some random tool (AI or not) saying they cheated without proof suddenly taken as truth?

Get as big of an SD card as you can from a known good company ( I think I have a 256GB card in mine). Turn off as many logging services as you can. You should be able to find several guides on the internet on how to limit writes to the SD card and that combined with a big card with decent wear leveling should last for years, mine has.

Windows will be with us for decades to come. There is no shortage of industry-specific software that doesn’t run on anything else.

Take our family business: Our CAD doesn’t run on Mac; and forget about the CAM software for a router. That’s just our industry - I would say almost every industry has it’s bespoke software that isn’t going away.

For many other businesses, Microsoft Office is non-negotiable. What’s the alternative, sending PII to Google Docs? Knowing that if you open that 2011 document, the formatting will be cooked? What if you need Adobe or Affinity software?

I’ve just accepted that Linux on the desktop will never happen.

Edit: The comment below me on Adobe, shows the commentator is clueless. Adobe legally has commercial rights to their stock photo library (Adobe Stock) and the 248 million images in it. That’s plenty for training AI, and as a result, a copyright challenge against Adobe has never been attempted. Many artists have been fairly vocal that this wasn’t what they intended when they literally sold their photos to Adobe, but that’s hardly a winning legal argument.
The day I never have to use MS for games, I will die happy. I’ll keep using Windows 10 for as long as games do not require it.

Since you have such strong opinions on the matter, and experience, why don't you contribute to the SyncThing android app and implement this? Alternatively you could grab your time machine, travel back several years and let them know to anticipate this arbitrary change google would pull in the future.

The "alarm clock" surname is pretty cool though if you know this factoid: the word for waking up in Slavic languages is the same as the Sanskrit root "budh", which also means "to wake". So Buddha is "the one who has awakened".

Very curious. I started my personal website with the rise of Hugo (which I like to call as "the new age of SSGs"). 5 years ago. Time does fly. As I look more and more into the old days of anything, It's like, things survive long enough to get popular... Then it goes back to where and how it was. It doesn't necessarily die.

I am curious if we had the expectation that if hosting and other tech became accessible, more people must've been blogging or maintaining personal websites. That is not how it works right? Pepole maintaining websites on their on were a niche in that time of the internet. And it is still a niche in this time of the internet.

Fountain pens for example was the only way to write at one point. And once ball point pens came along which is more managed, common folks went behind it. Fountain pens didn't die. It has became more luxurious or a premium item once again. It's still thriving and there is a whole new world of fountain pens if you start digging about it. Heck, new brands have emerged.

I can see the same parallels for bikes (MTB or Road Bikes etc) as well.

More people will discover blogging and the blogosphere. And some of them will go away. Some of them stays. Some lives and some dies. Just like humans, websites will live and die.

It is obviously sad when I see someone stop blogging or stop maintaining their personal website. Since I still consider myself young to the blogosphere, It's like reading up on celebrities you don't know about after their death. But it's way of life. Life of a blog.

The forces are pretty much shear forces in the plane of the PCB, which traces can handle reasonably well. Also, the amount of force per trace is very small - the motor only has significant torque because there are many traces per PCB multiplied by many PCBs.

I don't think the author doubts the possibility, they are just curious about the details, and about how Vonnegut himself thought about it and what changes he went through (or didn't go through) on the journey to his later antiwar novels. That would be really interesting to have some information about. It appears there might not be any first-hand information, but maybe a Vonnegut scholar or enthusiast will read this article and connect it to other information that shows a change in Vonnegut's thinking about war.

I just read a memoir by the Chinese short story writer and novelist Yu Hua. In the first three years of his career, he wrote stories were full of graphic violence and death. He also had constant nightmares in which he was hunted down and killed. After one such nightmare, he started thinking about the executions he witnessed during the Cultural Revolution as a child. He grew up in a fairly sleepy town, so the "trials" that were a regular occurrence during the Cultural Revolution were a can't-miss public spectacle. When someone was sentenced to death and taken away in a truck to be executed, he and his friends would race to the execution site, hoping to get there in time to see it happen. If they made it in time, they saw the accused executed with a rifle bullet to the back of the head, sometimes watching from just a few feet away. After the nightmares brought these memories back, he decided that if he wanted to stop this violence from being reproduced every night in his nightmares, he needed to stop reproducing the violence every day in his writing. So he stopped writing about violence, and his nightmares went away.

If you only knew that he grew up in the Cultural Revolution, wrote incessantly about violence for several years, and then stopped, you could easily say that there was nothing strange about that, it's not a head-scratcher, but hearing the story as he tells it is much more interesting than simply saying "it's not strange." Raising this question about Vonnegut, even if it has been raised before, might eventually unearth some information that fleshes out his story.

One thing that was surprising to me, and might be a reason for quite a few people to upgrade without a reason, is that you might not know that your computer would be able to handle Win 11 (based on e.g. the checker), because of an old BIOS version.

In my case, updating my BIOS version let me enable firmware TPM on my CPU (without an update there was no such setting), which was a blocker - in practice I used Rufus to install it anyway, but some anti-cheat software fail on Win 11 if you don't have a TPM (e.g. Riot Vanguard).

There are some specialized terms here that you're unlikely to encounter outside of an academic philosophy paper, but there's nothing complex about the meanings of any of the individual terms. Once you know what the words mean, it all makes sense.

>eliminativist

Eliminativist claims in philosophy are claims that deny the existence of some class of entities. You can be eliminativist about all sorts of things - numbers, objective morals, countries, tables and chairs, etc.

>qualia

First-person conscious experiences. Pain is a qualia. The way the color blue looks, as opposed to say the color red or green, is a qualia. The sensation of hot or cold is a qualia.

When someone stubs their toe and says "ow", you can infer that they're in pain based on their behavior and your knowledge of how pain works, but you can't actually feel or directly observe their pain. That's the "first-person" part.

>phenomenal consciousness

A synonym for "qualia", because some philosophers started to feel like the word "qualia" had too much historical baggage, so they needed to come up with a new term.

>introspective illusion

Exactly what it says on the tin. An illusion (meaning, an impression that something is real, when it is in fact not) generated by introspection.

So, putting it all together:

>illusionism

Illusionism about consciousness is the thesis that phenomenal consciousness is not real. So, to give a specific example, an illusionist would be committed to the thesis that pain is not real. As a corollary, no one has ever felt pain before, because there is no such thing as pain. People have been under the illusion that they feel pain, but they actually don't.
It's like the old joke about boiling the frog. More and more aggressively intrusive ad tech is coming along, and people will just shrug it off.
I don't think motor skills are a good object to use in an argument about verbal vs non-verbal thinking. We have large regions of our brains primarily dedicated to motor skills and you can't argue that humans are any more talented or capable at controlling our bodies than other animals, we're actually rather poor performers in this area. You're right to say that you aren't conscious of the very highly trained movements you are making because they likely have only a tenuous connection with any part of your brain that we would recognize as possessing consciousness or thought, they are mostly learned reflexes and responses to internal and external stimuli at this point like a professional baseball player who can automatically catch a ball flying at him before he's even aware of it.
