>If you disable ARP, you can have a group of servers on the same network configured with the same IP!

The downside to this is that a switch/bridge will not learn the MAC address and continue to flood/broadcast these packets to every port in that segment. So if you do decide to do this make sure you make a dedicated VLAN. :)

yea after you build the damn thing maybe. Good luck with that. There is a reason 90% of new added capacity is renewable and it's not because of the environment.

Death toll isn't the only metric for accident severity. Environmental pollution is really important too.

And with Fukushima we were kinda lucky. It was still a double meltdown with several hydrogen explosions and could have been much worse.

> In winter the days are short, the sky can be covered in clouds for an entire week, the solar panels can be covered in snow also. I have solar panels but I do not have a way to export my data to show you the summer vs winter GIANT difference.

Short days, but still enough to make a lot of juice in Italy. Scotland and Scandinavia get issues, but Italy's basically OK for winter: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28sunrise%2C+Rome%2C+2...

> we can't store the energy from summer for winter and also resist for say 2 weeks of snow and clouds

You, personally, can't store 2 weeks of energy (though it's closer than you may expect, 1 person-week of Italian average electrical consumption is ~= 1 EV battery*). But you personally don't have to, transmission to another part of the country (or continent) has a huge impact on how much storage you need.

Basically, this problem is known, it's not all that difficult to work around — everything on the scale of "national power supply" is expensive and has pros and cons, PV isn't particularly remarkable in the scale or cost of those pros and cons even with current solutions and assuming no R&D effort can improve the trade-offs, they're just different than the pros and cons of the other options.

Tokyo has a great subway system (for the most part--there are locations that aren't that well served) and there's good train service between many moderate-sized cities in Japan. But my experience is that, once you get to a city outside of Tokyo, the public transportation options aren't great.

Might be. That'd certainly explain the ambulance I saw there on my way back, the dripping wet shape on the stretcher, covered with some sort of tarp (which I thought I recognized as torn from a nearby beach bar that'd been closed for the winter, emergency services over here being underfunded as they are.) But idk, they might've been picking up a beached dolphin or something. (With an ambulance?!)
> > If you believe the US will or should only act in its own interest, then its interest is to remain the only superpower.

This is the error of non-Marxist 'realism'. The US is not a monolith with a single general interest. It is a class society with its own internal contradictions that play out, for one, internationally. There are legitimately diverging interests when it comes to the role of the United States abroad, and importantly, growing consciousness among classes which in some ways or others, view the institutions of the US' superpower-status as part and parcel of their own oppression domestically.

It is clearly not. It is very much something to anticipate. At sufficient scale, it is guaranteed that it will happen. There is nothing exceptional about it.

Luckily we have such terminology already: Exceptions (caused by mistakes in the code) and errors (caused by external faults).

A lot of people look at Europe through the lens of the tourist areas of large cities. As someone who has spent a lot of time in the UK countryside and smaller towns, there is absolutely not a good public transit system even if there might be a few buses during the day.

Heck. I arrived by train from London to a town where I found the busses to the start of my walk were basically non-existent. Fortunately a taxi pulled up as I was trying to find a taxi service by cell as the train station didn't have any staff.

Economically, allying with Russia is stupid, they're poor. The only way they are making it through this war economy is the fact that Russian people are patient and are used to bad economy. The average anual salary in Russia is below $10K.

> There are a number of clear weaknesses in the above post already.

You mean my post? I'd say the weakness in what I propose are no where near as bad as the weaknesses in the system we currently have.

> there is a whole academic discipline about optimal voting.

And I would never discard that or the results of the relevant research, but I genuinely think the system we have in place is too flawed, to fundamentally broken, to really make progress or fix things. Half the country literally considered anything from any legitimate source that clashes with their beliefs as 'fake news'.

How does academia suggest this problem should be addressed?
You have a point, I guess.

I'm wildly interested what's your (and hn community's in general) proposed macro policy mix. When accounted for workforce changes (demography+participation), there was absolutely no economic growth in all developed EU economies (+UK) since the GFC. Zero productivity growth.

That's stark difference compared to US. Did Europe over-auster when US massively increased it's debt? But , as above-mentioned example shows, fiscal expansion can be challenging…
I feel like you have it the wrong way around. There are a lot of political setups where you "elect someone" that are absolutely not democracies. I can be an authoritarian supreme leader who allows citizens to elect who will run their province (from my choice of candidates of course!) and I really don't think it's reasonable to claim that this situation is a "democracy".

It's autocracy with democratic characteristics.

I agree your criticisms of democracy in the US and Taiwan have some validity but in terms of deciding whether China might be a democracy or not they seem like whataboutism.
It is a Ponzi scheme. The Ponzi scheme is that population has to grow forever, which is not sutainable and not possible, and coming to an end globally.

Good points, although a nit that I'd characterize the workforce as more specialized today rather than less. Didn't the old-school machinists have more knowledge over the full range of production processes, vs a CAD drafter vs a Fanuc CNC operator, vs an assembler?

That said, I'd still say having one capability today still makes a far shorter path to convert from Civ-to-Mil output. I run a carbon-fiber composites shop that does everything from design through materials, CAD, CAM, moldmaking, forming with multiple technologies, CNC machining, and assembly. It would be a straightforward task to setup for new Mil products (and not just because we already do some Mil work), especially compared to not having it at all.

Last time Italy decided to re-open the topic of nuclear energy, we ended up with the Fukushima disaster. The last time before that was Chernobyl. A nuclear accident in the US due to deregulation would be fitting with the current mood, but I'd rather not to, please.
Maintaining solar panels will be always way, way, waaay cheaper, than maintaining a nuclear reactor and disposing safely the waste.

Batteries would need to be cheaper, that is all that is needed for italy. In the south, they have sun all year around.
Are you joking? Renewables mean one order of magnitude more raw materials imports from China and Chinese operated mining in unstable African countries.

With some work and investment European nuclear fuel supply could be 100% free from Russia, which anyway is peanuts compared to billions spent on Russian LNG. Uranium ore can come from Canada, Kazakhstan and Australia, not only African countries.
not in the UK. its an extra couple of quid for the delivery.
> The new Settings panel is pretty much universally hated

Data-point of one, but: the new Settings panel is very much appreciated by the non-technical users I support, because it approximates the iPhone settings panel they're accustomed to. Personally, I hate it, but I also like that my colleagues are better able to discover and make changes for themselves. I figure learning new tech is a core part of my job description (but not theirs), so my frustration counts for less than their comfort, so I suck it up.

Xcode, however? I completely agree with you there.
Indeed, this restriction was eased in a recent iOS version. Prior to this update, it was true that only the most recent 100 records could be displayed. Moreover, it is amusing to note that after deleting the first most recent record, one can still view the 100th record. This effectively displays 101 records. It is perplexing why this decision was made, as it deliberately limits the user interface to display only 100 records.
Yeah, really hate screen lock.
It may not be what people want now, but it is what people voted for.

This what a huge chunk of HN wanted! HN was all aboard the Trump train for years and the mods admonished anyone being too critical of other users for it, it's when I wrote off most of the people here as morons.
It can't be only attributed to ignorance, you see many comments here on Hacker News defending it with vitriol I had never experienced on this forum even during Trump's 1st presidency.

Somehow Americans have really bought into it, the lies, the disinformation, the destruction. I cannot understand, the moving targets shift (CRT, immigration, DEI, cancel culture, wokeness, whatever is next) so it isn't about them whatsoever, they are just the distractions being fed to gather support, there's something else much deeper and darker broken in American society that became so obfuscated by these distractions to the point where I have absolutely no fucking idea why half of the country seems to hate everything that brought the USA to the position it had on the global stage.

Perhaps it's just hubris after a very long period of quasi-absolute power, seems like power corrupts not only individuals but whole nations.

Poke around on jobs.apple.com looking at developer positions and everything will become clear. There seem to be at least an order of magnitude more outsourced software development jobs than jobs within the US/EU.

You don't outsource to India because you want to get better quality products. You do it so you can pay a terrible Indian programmer $30,000/yr instead of hiring a great Indian programmer for $300,000/yr in Cupertino.
Heard about this recently. Extremely fun and interesting. Would really like to try it, not sure if I should try it on a GameCube or Wii.

No longer did you need to use special tools (or arcane knowledge) to stick a special real-mode binary in to a normally hidden area of your intended media, now you just drop a few PE binaries in a filesystem your UEFI can read and let it figure itself out.

In theory, yes. In practice, booting Slackware (elilo) from UEFI has been a challenge.

Self-Disclosure as an Interpersonal Process
Hi! Made an article for the interpersonal relations blog. This is on the self-disclosure concept: a process of sharing thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with people.

There are many issues with using Linux for a corporate workstation. For instance, if the organization uses a proxy, setting it up is a PITA, as many Linux applications don't respect the http[s]_proxy environment variables. Some only accept upper-case, others only lower-case, while many have their own configuration settings for using a proxy.

Additionally, in certain industries Linux support is non-existent, with many applications developed exclusively for Windows and no viable alternatives available. Running a VM is another PITA due to driver issues. Wine ditto.

In the end, I found that running WSL2 provided a more manageable experience. I feel that Microsoft really hit the nail with WSL for productivity. Apparently, you can even run graphical applications from WSL although I don't have a lot of experience with that.
