> no address space overlap between IPv4 and IPv6, an inherent design flaw of the IPv6

This is not an inherent design flaw and is often brought up in IPv6 threads commonly referred to as the "just add more octets, bro" argument. This comment[0] sums it up well, but I'll leave it here for convenience:

> Fact is you'd run into exactly the same problems as with IPv6. Sure, network-enabled software might be easier to rewrite to support 40-bit IPv4+, but any hardware-accelerated products (routers, switches, network cards, etc.) would still need replacement (just as with IPv6), and you'd still need everyone to be assigned unique IPv4+ addresses in order to communicate with each other (just as with IPv6).

It's about our attitudes towards time, and the stories we tell about our relationship to it. For example, authoritarian regimes tend to eliminate the future from discourse - the future is not possible because we are beset by enemies and danger surrounds us. All we can do is aspire to restore some mythical past. By contrast, the one idea that ties together disparate definitions of Progressivism across history is the belief that a better future is possible.

Snyder has a framework for discussing how ideologies relate to time in these sorts of ways.
How does the US do this? In Canada, everything is so splintered. Open Data is available at various levels (municipal, provincial), but it's in different formats, many government bodies don't expose anything, and it's all very .. uncooridnated.

But this is not the first time I've seen data from the US which feels so well organized. Is the secret sauce the data/providers, or is the creator of this site just very good at organizing a big mess?
Eh. I use vim. I like vim. But what matters is that you have a tool that works. If that's vscode, and you're okay with that being your tool[0] then there's nothing wrong with that.

[0] I personally wouldn't like to be tied to a tool that phones home to and is by Microsoft, but plenty of people don't care; so long as it's an informed choice that's completely legitimate.
How do I jailbreak Kindle books so they aren’t later removed or restricted in weird ways?
The Tulsi that pushes Russian disinformation? That should do well for rooting out lying. Also some facts: Intelligence services did not lie us into the Iraq war - politicians did. Politicians manipulated intelligence reporting to fit their narrative. Since you seem to like conspiracy theories, it should be obvious that this was so Halliburton, the company vice president Dick Cheney was CEO of, could profit from government contracts. Guess what CEO will now profit from government contracts due to all the lying from the current slate of politicans.

And by conservative parents as domestic terrorists, I assume you mean the people convicted of crime due to their actual criminal actions on Jan. 6?

They're probably using residential proxy services. You can pay for a proxy service that redirects each individual connection through a random proxy in their pool, and all of them are in netblocks marked as residential. They're not all botnets - people can also get paid for sharing their connection. They're expensive, on the order of $1/GB.

> and get into the gray areas of the piracy culture that's creating much of the DRM problems

This is an interesting framing, mainly because it can be flipped 180 degrees around. "Shinier and more impregnable DRM just creates problems that lock you into certain devices and usage patterns, which simply create much of the gray area of piracy culture"

I mean, you're literally starting out by not trusting the person who fucking purchased your product and then furthermore also artificially limiting them in how they can use that content and on what devices!

Imagine if every marriage began with an un-shut-offable location tracker in your wedding band. You'd be complaining about the "cheating culture that has contributed to the need to install uncircumventable perma-trackers on the newly-married... and also, everyone who tries to disable them OBVIOUSLY just wants to cheat" /eye-roll
The friendly licensing (Apache v2) is important too, especially w/ Caddy's modular architecture (single, static binary compiled for any platform).

Meaning ecosystems around Caddy to make it even simpler and more secure, e.g. keep your server private while serving Internet clients. So VPNs like Tailscale (1) or zero implicit trust like OpenZiti (also Apache v2; (2)). Similar to what we have seen with open source k8s ecosystem for example.

(1) https://tailscale.com/blog/caddy (and other VPNs but the proprietary bits in the commercial TS service make it easier to use)

(2) https://github.com/openziti-test-kitchen/ziti-caddy (disclosure: maintainer...there may be other open source zero implicit trust options with these types of Caddy integrations)

>Apple understood this when the first iPod came out. Offer a better service, not shinier handcuffs.

It's a shame they haven't tried to pressure the publishers into dropping DRM for books.

The DRM used by Apple's bookstore is entirely limited to Apple's own apps on its own devices. You can't even read the books in a web browser.
Appreciate it. I got through about 10 paragraphs of preamble and disclaimers before giving up. I’m sure this document is what the community and author need it to be, but only being interested in the technical takeaways, your comment at least helps me know what to skim for.
> telecoms that deal with consumers have at best 0 (zero) incentive to deploy ipv6 unless there's regulatory pressure.

Not entirely true. 10/8 is only so big, so the management of addresses very much has a nonzero opex cost.

And on top of that there's capex on "carrier grade NAT".

For the biggest providers 10/8 is not even big enough for their production environment. And then they acquire some some company that (obviously) also uses 10/8.

No, there's definitely incentive there. Just… not enough.

There’s nothing wrong with arrow keys, Esc or mouse. Using Vim doesn’t mean you have to buy into elitist pianism. Personally I don’t care about typing speed because I map, abbr and snippet code “to death”. All I want is to free my mind (not hands) from mundane work as much as possible and h vs left arrow doesn’t help with that at all. I don’t even land on homerow when I take the keyboard. It’s more like qwed kop' and changing.
NAT does not, in any way, "force" the use of a firewall. They're entirely separate concepts.
that's not what this article says. I dug through it, and the main point seems to be 'It would have been beautiful. Except for one problem: it never happened.'

there is nothing really wrong with the design of ipv6 relative to ipv4
I did exactly this for my startup (https://easy.green). I'm very happy with this setup so far, with the code embedding feature for on premise delivery.
I had to disable the worker mode though, it caused issues with uncommon features in the ORM.

Nothing says big bank more than being yelled at by your ex-boss, with a different ex-boss in the room, while your real boss has no idea what's going on, and being maybe, but not really fired.

Bank VPs have no discretion to fire people - they'd need to work through it with HR. That would take weeks to months, unless it was really egregious, or came from someone 4 levels higher. Dimon could have told HR to fire him and it would happen instantly, but some mid-level idiot VP can't just fire anyone, especially not their own direct report.

I'm guessing the Director (Mead), who was on vacation, got a rude awakening and had to clean up the mess. Director is still not a big title at a bank the size of JPMC either.

But, I'm assuming she got the story many times from different people, had to come back and tell the first two VPs how stupid they were for yelling at someone and throwing them out of the building, and then talk to the guy's direct manager (Cundiff) and straighten things out.

Guessing the other two VPs got a shouting at for generating far more risk to the firm by swearing at and fake firing an employee.

I absolutely love Caddy. Used it for years. Very reliable and so easy to setup once you learn the basics. The documentation is a bit hard to get, but it saved me so much time and energy compared to trying to get letsencrypt working reliable ontop of NGINX.
Interesting, I haven't read much about that. I've always assumed somebody must have written an RFC to automate how home firewalls should be configurable automatically by software that "wants to" allow incoming connections. Good to see that it exists.

But it doesn't seem to be in widespread use, does it? Like, would a random internet gateway from podunk ISP support this? I kinda doubt it, right? Pretty sure the default Comcast modem/router setup my mom uses doesn't support this.

But I guess my point was about the contrapositive universe where IPv6 was actually used everywhere, and in that universe I suppose RFC6887 might have been commonplace.
The dude is insufferable.
Perhaps this award?

Interaction Economics: Instruments that Measure Social-Computational Systems

https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1110965

There's a single publication listed as resulting from this award (NB: I'd guess there's probably additional papers stemming from this grant; NSF award search only lists what has been published at the time of the annual report for the FY referenced).

That publication includes 4 co-authors:

Michael Toomim, Travis Kriplean, Claus Portner, and James A. Landay "Utility of Human-Computer Interactions: Toward a Science of Preference Measurement" ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) , v.May , 2011

This doesn't sound like a "research without depending on other people" type situation, unless you're suggesting your co-authors didn't contribute meaningfully to the research.

We can't pull up the detailed budget, but let's do some quick math for what such a grant would typically fund for a CS type project.

Assuming a 3-year grant ($140K/year) the directs would have looked like this:

* 2 graduate students - 12 months of stipend, fringe, and tuition/fees. This will be the largest portion of the grant; Total: ~$95K/year (Note: 2010 grad student support costs; would be lot more now):

* 2 PIs -- probably 0.5 or 1 month summer salary ([1] see below) for each PI each plus fringe; Total: $40K/year

* A small travel budget to pay for partipants to attend a conference or meeting (like the ACM conference this paper was presented at); Total: $5K/year

[1]: Faculty in most schools of arts and sciences schools at major universities are only guaranteed a 9-month salary (paid out over 12 months). Note this can differ even within a University. For example, A&S faculty might have one standard; the School of Medicine another; etc.
This doesn't make any sense. There are lots of YouTube creators who spend a LOT on videos.

Mr Beast, the most successful YouTuber of all time, is famous for it. When he was barely known, he still did stunts which were staggering costly, given his then level of success.

A different example is storytime animation. People telling cute, short stories about their lives used self produced animations to do so. This is literally hundreds of times more labor-intensive than vlogging to camera. They weren't paying money to others but they were using weeks instead of minutes of their own time to produce somewhat similar content. Several of these animators became huge on YouTube, to the point where they now hire artists and engineers.

Lots of other creators have got success by doing things much more ambitious than the norm. The slo-mo guys did something like lots of others but much much more professionally. Jazza tested more art products than anyone else, for example one of every alcohol marker set in the world, and the scope made his content stand out.

Of course if you aren't successful with an expensive project you will lose a lot of money but that's just a tautology. YouTube has literally millions of low-budget channels who also didn't come near to recouping their costs.
Appreciate the primary source insight!
I found an open email relay on IPv6 once, because nobody scans IPv6 and therefore nobody ever sent spam through it. (Apparently this was caused by a reverse proxy misconfiguration causing the server to think IPv6 connections were from localhost)
So when the rights of two individuals conflict, I guess you'd say the correct way to deal with it is not with a criminal charge, but for me to sue the other person? Do you think the American system would rule in favor of people who caught Covid if they sue people who went out in public without taking precautions? Do you think that's a realistic way of having one's rights made whole? How do I sue a class of individuals?

Furthermore, do you really think this is a plausible way of managing disease outbreaks, which affect large populations in aggregate and not just single individuals? Systems like private insurance don't work if all the individual risks are correlated.

This is a very strong first world POV. Those U$D 300 rank pretty high across world's minimum salaries [1], not to mention that prices can very likely double in countries like my own.

Moreover, a large % of people that can really get a very good use of this (Kids in high school) usually have a lot less money at their disposal, and we are not getting into collaterals like building your own and learning how it works.

California is also significantly bigger by economic output while using half as much electricity. There's probably some hidden factors there, like Texas engaging in more electricity intensive industries than California does or California using more fossil fuels for things Texas uses electricity for (this one seems improbable), but it seems like a very strange discrepancy.
> Isn't some of that because Texas has no major connections to other grids? As your quote from the article points out that means that to meet increasing demand Texas has to build more power generation in Texas.

> If California, which is well-connected to other states' grids, needs more electricity they can buy it from other states.

Well, that's not quite right, in order to meet increasing demand the increased capacity still has to be built somewhere, but it doesn't have to be built in California.

Either that or you could make the other states use less electricity.
rest in peace :(
Reliable 5% yield while keeping the base the same value (rising with inflation)? Possible, but not without risk. And if you want to protect against that risk, i.e. accept that some investments will fail [0], you need a bigger amount, imho. Or accept that you will get less, not 35k per year.

Current state of the art is not good enough, save for trivial changes. Cursor scans your whole codebase so it has more context than other models, but even that easily gets stuck in loops when the problem is a bit more involved, suggesting one change and then another back and forth, neither of which work.
In my experience in every city (literally) in Ontario and lots of south western Quebec, Apple Maps is the clear winner. There are some areas where google is better, but overall Apple wins on navigation. I generally use google for business search, and either Apple or Waze for directions (depending on my familiarity with the area).
I've never witnessed pg screaming about anything ever frankly, maybe people close to him have. He would be the last person I use the verb for.

A lot of people and Democrats in STEM fields who voted for Kamala in the elections, including pg who publicly stated he was voting for Kamala, thought the corporate DEIA initiatives were counterproductive to their stated goals. It's not a extreme minority position in the tech crowd, nor is there a complete lack of criticism of corporate DEIA in the progressive media either.

I also give pg credit for being one of the rare VCs who posts "pro-Palestinian" viewpoints on occasion. So he does buck the trend from time to time. Calling David Sacks, Musk's unwavering eternal sychophant, possibly "the most evil person in Silicon Valley" was also a great line in the sand for him. But the basis for this opinion was more from his knowledge of how terrible Sacks treated founders as an investor rather than from Sacks being a Musk acolyte.
Why don’t posts like this ever explain what the end goal is? The biggest problem in my life is that all this work and productivity feels meaningless. Everyone is always writing as if these goals are common knowledge but I don’t even know why I work anymore other than I can’t retire yet.
Heh, the video is a little deceptive. The arm had no vision capability, so I faked it. The dominos only look like they are sitting in a random pile. Actually, they are sitting in very precise positions, so the arm would find them correctly when it ran a program I built by pointing the arm at the locations using the joystick.
You don't need DHCPv6 to auto register hosts in DNS. You just configure the DNS server to register based on neighbor discovery.

Things like RA and NDP would clue hosts into the local DNS server as well. You don't need DHCPv6 to advertise a local DNS server.
If you mean visual studio for dotnet and it is comparably piece of crap. A lot of unexplained behavior and it generally feels like someone just wanted to check boxes. Dotnet and visual studio actually made me love love a lot more after I worked with them.

Java and Eclipse are waaay better then C# and visual studio. Kotlin is a pure pleasure against C#.

Also, I see people using different JDKa on the same project. That there is competition is a good thing, it is not like you was locked in one.
I'm just a simple former taxi-driver. I went the extra mile for some of my passengers - bailing them out of jail, etc - and made notes about people's struggles with the machine.

The guy who I bailed out - a few years ago his friend shared on facebook that he'd been arrested again. I went to his hearing - he saw me. The judge was very stern with all the other people, but said to my passenger, "you haven't caused any trouble since you were arrested years ago, but you did miss your court date so I have to do something..." She was going to give him 30 days with work release, but he said he'd just miss the next court date so they might as well keep him. I sent him some money for his books, he sent me a post card saying that it meant a lot to have the support of someone on the outside.

It's almost exactly just IPv4 with longer addresses. If IPv6 isn't a good design then IPv4 is even worse because of the address shortage.

I'd argue that GIMP reclaimed the word for a better meaning. Consider how the word lame has lost its derogatory impact. Googling "gimp" gives me only results about the program. Changing the name now would dilute decades of brand recognition and confuse users, especially those in non-English communities.
This is meh excuse. If you want your browser to connect to a gopher server, you type gopher://example.com. If you want to use http2, http2://example.com should work. (I know, I know, everyone removed Gopher support a few years ago. Same idea though.)

Having said all that, I just copied the certs out of here https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.24.0:src/... and use them to do browser/http2 stuff locally. Why steal Go's certificates? Because it took 1 second less than making my own!

I'm certainly not trying to no-true-Scotsman the term conservative. The word does mean something, effectively the opposite of the vandals currently in power. For example I've gotten more conservative with age, but definitely do not consider myself "a conservative".

The thrust of my comment was exactly that we need to stop letting them wrap themselves in the cloak of the flag and conservatism, when their actions demonstrate the complete opposite agenda. Anybody cheering on the current destruction yet calling themselves a conservative (likely to absolve themselves from what they're actually supporting) needs to be solidly mocked.
