> I look at this article and consider the result pretty much as expected. Why? Because it pushes the flow control out of the kernel (and possibly network adapters) into userspace. TCP has flow-control and sequencing. QUICK makes you manage that yourself (sort of).

I truly hope the QUIC in Linux Kernel project [0] succeeds. I'm not looking forward to linking big HTTP/3 libraries to all applications.

Plex with a couple of decent paid subscription servers ($20 a month total) is fantastic and is equivalent in usability to netflix except basically everything is available.

It is funny listening to podcasts with billionaires who have unlimited financial resources but can’t watch a show recommended to them because they haven’t downloaded or subscribed to a particular streaming service.
> And why don’t they spend 90% of their time testing and verifying and proving their software has no defects? Because defects are inevitable and they’re not held accountable for them!

For a huge part of the industry, the reason is entirely different. It is because software that mostly works today but has defects is much more valuable than software that always works and has no defects 10 years from now. Extremely well informed business customers will pay for delivering a buggy feature today rather than wait two more months for a comprehensively tested feature. This is the reality of the majority of the industry: consumers care little about bugs (below some defect rate) and care far more about timeliness.

This of course doesn't apply to critical systems like automatic drivers or medical devices. But the vast majority of the industry is not building these types of systems.
Their point was those systems like hdmi, bits of usb-c etc put the complexity is very expensive very short cables.

Meanwhile a 10g port on my home router will run over copper for far longer. Not that I’m a fan given the power use, fibre is much easier to deal with and will run for miles.
By the time of the Turbo Vision IDE (TP 6), Turbo Pascal had online help, it was three floppies full installation.
Yeah, but HNers now demand that the hosters police and surveil the content of the customers they host for - even if they have no warrant or takedown requests from the governments.

Which, obviously, leaves only the largest companies able to play the mercenary police.
Yes, the biggest reason why they did Win 11 was the the security hardware requirements imo.
Your kernel seems to be incorrect for 1.75 * 2.5.
From paper we have 1.75 == (1+0.75)*2^0 for 2.5 == (1+0.25)*2^1 so result is
(1+0.75+0.25+2^-4)*2^1 == 4.125 (correct result is 4.375)

While I personally think there is a universally agreed upon idea of public access (as in non-exclusive), I was thinking about how other platforms handle it, and Facebook, AFAIK, seemed to have moved to the "everyone" category at some point.

Not sure about other platforms. With "everyone", you could also think of it as everyone [on the platform], which would be a subset of "public".
Tools from statistical physics have long been used in sociological and economical models.

It's no wonder, because statistical physics was devised as a tool for the study of complex systems.

For the same reason I don't deem entropy to be a fundamental property of physics, but one of complex systems. As far as I remember from university, the 2nd law of thermodynamics simply arises from the fact, that there are exponentially more unordered than ordered states.

Though information itself may be a fundamental physical property. The recent interest in Quantum computers shines new light on the connection between information and Quantum Mechanics. It remains to be seen, how that point of view is compatible with relativity.

I hope, that one day someone finds out, that the "time dimension" arises in the macroscopic limit from a graph of discrete causal events.
That's why you should read the whole book, instead of just the three line summary in a comment.
This is absolutely not true, other manufacturers refresh their models all the time. They just use a simple approach - part numbers to track what goes where. Funny how you call THEM "legacy", not a company that can't do that.
You have to jump contexts for every datagram, and you cannot offload checksumming to the network hardware.
I don't get that, and I'm connecting from the biggest italian provider TIM. I first get a warning from the browser because of the certificate. If I go forward I just get a 404. But maybe it changed in the last hours?
Yes, they're dogmatic in the literal meaning of that word.

Other systems may have bugs too, but they don't take extra time to make sure you can't patch those bugs without additional work and going against the system.
Governments _mandating_ it sure is.
While legislation would be way to actually make IPv6 transition happen, what is the justification for such legislation and cost it would impose on the industry?

And that is the point of this article, for most participants of the internet the benefits don’t presently justify the involved cost.

Peer to peer networking is important to rare users like me so I can do things like host a private Minecraft server from my house for my brothers and I to play on, but this is not yet a problem for me on IPv4.

Interestingly a few years back while I was moving and had no internet for a few weeks I temporarily moved the Minecraft server to my brother’s house and we discovered he was on CG NAT which was a total nonissue before then.

I sent an email to the ISP saying we wanted to expose a port and asked how to do so and they changed my brother’s account to be given a public IP no questions asked or extra costs. And I found this policy okay because probably 99.999% of internet users don’t do anything over the internet where a public IP would make any difference to their life.

I expect once enough of the internet is on IPv6 the cost benefit pendulum will swing the other way, but we're not there yet and it’s not clear when it might happpen.
The "spirit of open source" or whatever implicit terms come with the piece of free software was that Matt/Automattic are good stewards of the software, especially in regards to it being hardcoded to use to wp.org. It's incredibly silly to throw that goodwill away when you're load-bearing for almost half the web. These actions will create forks with different stewards and at worst fragment the codebase.

Transform your notes into your AI Tutor. Study app by students, for students
Raena AI is an educational tool that uses AI to enhance studying by converting notes and documents into interactive quizzes, summarizing content, and providing personalized AI tutoring. It's designed for students who want to improve their study efficiency, retention, and overall academic performance.
Turbo Pascal 3 had compiler error message strings. Half of the manual was reference material and things like ASCII tables. Without Internet having a lot of extraneous material in manuals was not uncommon.

These older compilers also did nearly direct translation of your code into assembly, barely did any optimization, and made heavy use of the stack to smooth everything out. Pascal, in particular, due to it's ability to nest procedures and native set types generated some pretty suboptimal code.

It's why we had things like register variables and decent inline assembly primitives.
This is quite sad, I've been very inspired by the writings of Artem Litvinovich [1] (although he stopped publishing 8 years ago). I inspired a lot of my research on what he did.

It does now. Back when it was the only streaming service and all of the different studio's content was on it, it was the best fight against piracy. Now that the streaming ecosystem is so fragmented requiring subscription upon subscription, Netflix' selection has atrophied to the realm of mediocrity with the occasional gem like every other studio out there.

I can absolutely see where piracy surges again as people fight back against the onslaught of YASS (yet another streaming service).
ok, good point!

Oh, is IPv6 now backwards compatible with IPv4? No? I guess not a complete list of fallacies.
The Marxists are downvoting you because they don't understand that there is no other place in history or the world where SpaceX/Tesla/etc. could exist other than the US now. But that door is rapidly closing.

> Also, rebooting is offensive to me as a programmer. Kernel updates and memory leaks are the only reason you need to reboot. How absolutely shitty is modem firmware that the ISP actually spent the time to build this reboot system out??(Never mind that I personally don't feel like I've ever had a modem/isp actually problem solved by rebooting)

Why is rebooting offensive to you? State is hard; resetting your system to know state can fix many issues.

It's not that they don't want to have people, it's that there are no people. Germany, as most of other countries in Europe, has an aging population and the workforce is hard to find. So all these "easy" things that can get automated, do get automated, oftentimes indeed at the price of quality of service in exceptional situations.
React is cargo cult at the moment and has been for years already. People will just use react because everybody is using react, no matter if it makes sense or not.

Accounts are hacked every second. They are wildly insecure and noone should trust them. Frankly saying you are just a hacked account is at worst plausible.

With that train of thought you can infer everything.

The problem with this is also in the case of fraud refunds. I have a site where the subscription was only 2€/m but I had to increase it because when customers asked for a refund via their bank I had to pay 16€ in fees.

Nobody is saying Apple did it first though? Even the article says they used to use HoloLens before this.

They’re just saying it does what they need better. A significantly higher resolution, image clarity and field of view than what the HoloLens could provide.

From the article:

> In previous years, Horgan tried other headsets, like Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens, and found they weren’t high-resolution enough.

There’s another mention of HoloLens as well in the article.

If the incidence of problems is some relatively small number, like 5% or 10%, it's very easily possible that you've never personally seen a problem, but overall we'd still consider that the total incidence of problems is unacceptable.

Please stop presenting arguments of the form "I haven't seen problems so people who have problems must be extreme outliers". At best it's ignorant, at worst it's actively in bad faith.
It's huge enough risk that they still choose to invest in fighting it. Overstated or not in public, that's all that matters to a business.

I don't know why when it comes to piracy that suddenly we forget that companies have entire wings (or hire entire companies) dedicated to figuring out how much piracy is occurring and what's most profitable. Will it put them out of business to ignore it? Probably not. But clearly they determined it's cheaper to fight than let it go rampant.Even if "cheaper" means "give executives and shareholders peace of mind so they throw more money at them".

And for small businesses and projects it absolutely hurts them. It's not even worth much debate there. A few thousand sales can make or break a decision to keep supporting a small business compared to going back to a normal job. But they lack the funds to fight piracy so it's a damned of you do... Situation for those people.
My single mode keystones pass through were about the same price as cat5, and pre-made cables were no harder to run than un terminated cat5.
If the entire stack is in usermode and it's directly talking to the NIC with no kernel involvement beyond setup at all. This isn't the case with QUIC, it uses the normal sockets API to send/recv UDP.
That is what I meant: the 555 is a habitual option by people who grew up with it. The arduino can be an habitual option by people who grew up with that.

Not every project is mass produced or must be highly optimized when it comes to size, cost or power consumption. People use what they know, and what they know depends on when they grew into it.
I don't get how we have the most connected technology that ever existed, but we dont have proper tools to stick it to these terrible practices?

Obviously , en-masse we need to be buying these things, opening them, losing the manuals and packaging, and returning them explaining very clearly how there is unwanted shit in the firmware that was not made clear upfront before purchase.

Each of us doing it over and over at every store we have access to.

The argument isn't that Hamas put their HQ next to civilians. It's that they store their munitions and shoot rockets out of schools. Israel's military HQ (not the ministry of defense), which is indeed located in Tel Aviv - Yafo, is not where tanks will be rolling out of.

Nor does Israel build underground bunkers or areas to shoot rockets out of underneath civilian buildings.
Is the objective truth of what I say contingent on whether it is a hacked account? I'd say no.

Especially when each rocket successfully makes it further into the test, beyond the point where the previous iteration failed.
You said "government-mandated" - do you think your words matter?

That doesn't sound like agreement.

Agreement is how we have arrived at the imperfect solution we have now... Agreement between various technical and non-technical parties.
Never had a similar experience with a mid-drive. I’ve found every bike with a hub motor I’ve tried disappointing on hilly terrain or with a lot of start/stop and if you only cycle on flat what’s even the point of having an ebike? (Assuming it’s one that’s legal in Europe).
I do agree but also feel if people did this en masse, that system would get a rate limiter. After 2 claims per year you would be barred for being "vexatious"

We know that. The problem was the theater. Biden praising GM for "leading" in the EV space when they are so many years behind Tesla. Even now they sell a tiny fraction of the EVs.

In spite of its wider adoption issues, it's valuable for my personal infrastructure: each of my services/machine has an IPv6 globally routable address.

Why bother, when I could just do TLS SNI reverse proxying via nginx?

* Some services don't use TLS, or even TCP.

* A reverse proxy is yet another intermediary in the chain.

* Plain IPv6 routing is simpler than reverse proxying, and I already need a network layer anyway.

There are downsides:

* some software doesn't support IPv6. I haven't experienced this on the Linux servers I run.

* in a dual stack network, now you have two networks! I use NAT64/PREF64 like https://labs.ripe.net/author/ondrej_caletka_1/deploying-ipv6... to have most clients only be on IPv6. They get IPv4 connectivity over IPv6 via NAT64.

* If I'm in another country then I often don't have IPv6 connectivity. In this case I use any VPN that offers IPv6 (and have one available via my home, via Wireguard).

* Learning IPv6 takes time, but not much. It's one-off. It's not more complex than IPv4, but it is different. If anything, it's simpler. (SLAAC rather than DHCPv4; IP reachability rather than NAT/port forwarding).
Show HN: Create a Digital Signature in Seconds with This Free Tool
I built this simple free signature generator to quickly create a nice-looking digital signature. No design skills or fancy software needed—just hand-draw it or type your name, pick a style, and download it.

It’s a super basic tool, but useful if you need a signature for invoices, documents, or anything else where a little extra polish helps. You can download it in PNG format as a transparent file, so it’s easy to drop into any project.

If you’re also into templates for things like invoices or letterheads, there are a many other resources on the site that might come in handy.

Thanks for checking it out!
It says „impact significantly“, not „replace“, so I’m not sure what calculating the salary of impacted jobs is supposed to tell me.
If there is no competition to a corp, consider the option of nationalizing it. Suddenly the prospect of being without competition will look far less desireable to them.

> I doubt there’s a business model there because who is going to opt in to a scheme that loses them money?

Agreed, of course.

In a reasonable world, that could be considered part of the basic, law mandated requirements. It would be blurry and subject to interpretation to decide what is clickbait or not, just like libel or defamation - good thing we're only a few hundred years away from someone reinventing a device to handle that, called "independent judges".

In the meantime, I suppose you would have to bring some "unreasonable" thing to it, like "brands like to have green logos on their sites to brag" ?

> What could work is social media giving people an easy button to block links to specific websites from appearing in their feed, or something along those lines.

I completely agree. It's a feature they have had the technology to implement such a thing since forever, and they've decided against it since forever.

However I wonder if that's something a browser extension could handle ? A merge of AdBlock and "saved you a click" that displays the "boring" content of the link when you hoveron a clickbaity link ?
I always thought Venkatesh is often guilty of shaping the reality to fit the narrative of the current post, which often is quite random and possibly even contradicts all his other posts. This is also the case here.

Unfortunately, I do share the suspicion that a lot of good things I am very much used to were sponsored by ZIRP and soon it will crash really, really hard. This thought makes me anxious, I really don't like it, but I do agree that the culture of open source, and free web, and all these things was a fleeting phenomenon. Some of it is already dead, some will die soon. But I don't believe it applies to blogging.

I mean, fine, guy wants to retire. And it "coincides" with his 50th birthday (that's a magical coincidence for sure!) Just admit it's just about you, you are tired of doing what you did for 17 years. It's ok. But you weren't the only blogger, and everyone else isn't retiring together with you. Heck, I bet there is some new blogger writing his first post right now. I don't know if I'll like his posts as much as I liked some of yours, but I'm pretty sure life goes on without you, whether you like it or not (yeah, I know, I also don't really like the idea that life will go on without me!) Blogging is just one of the formats of how people express themselves, and while today there are many alternative formats that weren't really an option, say, 20 years ago, you cannot replace all of blogposts with a YouTube video or a TikTok. You can replace some, sure. Which isn't a bad thing either, it just means there now is a media that suits that type of content better.

Also, that warning about your substack not being a blog... But it is. A different kind of blog, maybe, but let's not pretend words mean anything more than they do. Even a telegram channel with lengthy posts is pretty much a blog. And, BTW, I don't know if Scott Alexander is supposed to be an "old media refugee" who's posts Venkatesh doesn't read, but his content is pretty much the same as on SCX. FWIW.
