At least for my ISP, SLAAC installs a default route and uses link-local addresses to route traffic (I actually didn&#x27;t know this would work until I tried with OpenBSD 7.6). This allows the PD LAN subnet to be routed out to the internet.<p>YMMV!<p>edit: I may be slightly misunderstanding, and it <i>might</i> not be needed. Regardless, my router can now ping internet addresses while running slaacd.

Except Kotlin is a multiplatform language now thanks to Jetbrains efforts (kmp project), it&#x27;s not anymore intertwined with JVM.<p>Using Java library will limit your program only to jvm platform. Using a kotlin library like this one (given it&#x27;s written in pure kotlin and doesn&#x27;t uses any jvm platforms specifics) will allow you to build it to whatever target kmp supports (macosx, ios, android, js, mingw...)

The genesis block has a message from a relatively obscure British newspaper in it (The Times 03&#x2F;Jan&#x2F;2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks). Not something I would expect a frontier Canadian in their 20s to be sourcing from.<p>That and various other evidence (coding style, british-english spelling) has suggested to me for a long time that it&#x27;s an older gentleman from the UK, likely with an academic background in economics or related distributed systems. I don&#x27;t know either way, but it seems borderline libel to suggest without much more substantial evidence that it&#x27;s Peter Todd.

Agreed, and &quot;fair source&quot; in regards to modification is too vague. I know the author intentionally left it vague, but say the conditions for modification are a non-compete.<p>What if the producer moves into a field that I&#x27;m in and is now a competitor - have I suddenly run afoul of the license, even though I wasn&#x27;t before?<p>There&#x27;s very little protections there.<p>Source Available vs. Open Source is already clear. Can I modify &amp; redistribute or not.

Your documentation will tell when you need an abstraction. Where there is something relevant to document, there is a relevant abstraction. If its not worth documenting, it is not worth abstracting. Of course, the hard part is determining what is actually relevant to document.<p>The good news is that programmers generally hate writing documentation and will avoid it to the greatest extent possible, so if one is able to overcome that friction to start writing documentation, it is probably worthwhile.<p>Thus we can sum the rule of thumb up to: If you have already started writing documentation for something, you are ready for an abstraction in your code.

I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s a very good fix because the data of how much was paid for the assets may not be available after their owner is dead. The system in the UK seems to work ok for the most part. No CGT on death (the equivalent of step up basis in the US) but 40% inheritance tax on most of the assets over £325K.<p>We do have the odd exemptions like Clarkson&#x27;s Farm which was bought partly for inheritance tax avoidance, but you don&#x27;t have to do that.

&gt; I recently sold my Macbook, bought a Thinkpad, and am running NixOS full time, and I have to say that desktop Linux has gotten pretty excellent since the last time I ran it full-time.<p>I&#x27;m using MBP with macOS since 2013 and I&#x27;m quite happy... don&#x27;t need all that much speed (I upgraded my mbp2013 to MBP with M1 in 2021) but rather that it&#x27;s &quot;fast enough&quot; and stable and is silent :) While I like Linux on the server I had weird issues with it on the desktop (network lost, not waking up…) so I&#x27;m a bit weary... though I fathom that my next machine will have Linux (most likely with ARM) but that&#x27;s still 3-5 years in the future :)

I couldn&#x27;t agree more. The first time I used Windows 11, I was absolutely horrified with how anti-user it is and how much of a vehicle to sell Microsoft services it has become. It&#x27;s so bad that it was affecting my normal workflow and it forced me to look for greener pastures. While Windows 11 has some great technology under the hood, I installed Linux for the first time as my production desktop and I couldn&#x27;t be happier. It&#x27;s an environment designed for the user first and foremost and the experience, while it has some warts, is leaps and bounds better than the latest that has come out of Redmond.

&gt; firehouse of money from search<p>It’s not just search. They make such vast amounts of money because they hold a monopoly across several layers of the stack: web browsers (65% market share on desktop, 67% market share on mobile), internet search (90% market share), and internet advertising (AdSense and Ads together hold 67%).<p>Interestingly, this dominance isn’t the result of fair competition, but rather acquisitions. Google was allowed to buy YouTube, Android, and numerous online advertising companies. You can see the list there <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Alphabet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...</a><p>I believe most of these acquisitions should have been blocked by the FTC or DoJ, but they weren’t, which has allowed Google to become a vertically integrated monopoly.

Honestly, it&#x27;s disgusting.<p>Have these people even read the white papers that Google releases? They are mostly marketing pieces.<p>When systems and technologies are not publicly reproducible, why should scientists and (most) engineers care? I will not take Google at its word and would not recommend it to others.

Anything frame-accurate or smooth scrubbing has always been a challenge with he abstraction level of the video element. I don&#x27;t have an exact answer from you, but you might look around the web codecs space, where more performant examples are being built at a lower level. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API&#x2F;WebCodecs_API" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;API&#x2F;WebCodecs_A...</a>

It&#x27;s definitely not Wayland, although maybe Wayland has forced tech debt reduction in other areas. I&#x27;ve been running Desktop Ubuntu 100% of the time for the last ~3 years and I still can&#x27;t consistently use Wayland. On the other hand old school X11 mostly just works for me these days.<p>I get some occasionally glitches when changing DPI settings (usually when switching between my desktop monitor and my large 4k TV) and the annoying flashing when logging in&#x2F;logging out which I can easily live with.<p>Best of all, all the games I care about run on Linux now and in many cases they run better on Linux than they ever did on Windows!

Absolutely.<p>Also whether or not he is a hypocrite is up in the air - the post you responded to certainly didn&#x27;t make that case with any merit (despite implying it).<p>David Gilmour&#x27;s point is correct, and the other users is <i>assuming</i> he hasn&#x27;t used his money to help upcoming artists (which is also irrelevant) while also unilaterally deciding that David Gilmour can&#x27;t speak about anything without immediately ponying up with receipts because he has too much money.<p>Call me crazy, but I&#x27;m for free speech without attaching a requirement that when you hit a certain monetary goal that your speech is no longer valid (even hypocritical) if you don&#x27;t immediately and publicly give x% of your money to be counted as &#x27;acceptable speech&#x27;.<p>The fact this has to be said for something as uncontroversial as &#x27;the music industry eats its own, and has gotten worse in recent years&#x27; is wildly preposterous.

An OSI license with the Commons Clause merely prohibits for-profit use, which is a reasonable restriction in very many cases.<p>It&#x27;s clearly more than just &quot;source available&quot;, yet it&#x27;s still being stuffed into the same bucket, because the freedom to repackage and resell under a different name is withdrawn.

&gt;When the SOFR rate is &lt;1% like during COVID, it&#x27;s a pretty good deal.<p>It is very common to make loans based on using stocks, etc. as collateral. But that isn&#x27;t what people claim happens with the &quot;buy, borrow, die&quot; loophole. The claim is that these loans have incredibly low interest rates (much lower somehow than the IRS Applicable Federal Rate) and the interest is only payable upon death - which might be decades away. That is how the borrower can supposedly avoid capital gains taxes.<p>Maybe there are rich lenders who don&#x27;t understand the time value of money, but doing a quick search, I have not found one stat on how many lifetime loans like this are actually being done.

I think more people grasp functional programming all the time, or at least the most salient detail: referential transparency. It’s easy to show the benefits in the small, without getting heavy on academics: pure functions are easier to test, understand, and change with confidence. All three of these reinforce each other, but they’re each independently beneficial as well.<p>There are tons of benefits to get from learning this lesson in a more intentional way—I know that I changed my entire outlook on programming after some time working in Clojure!—but I’ve seen other devs take the same lessons in multi-paradigm contexts as well.

The 6.10 kernel that comes with Fedora 40 (months after its release) proved so buggy on one of my computers that I assumed the hardware was faulty (the same kernel was stable on my other computer) so the computer gathered dust for 4 months till I saw a comment here about how the issue affects certain hardware models, but not others. (The hardware is stable under version 6.11.)<p>Aside from time-wasters like that though, I agree: I prefer Linux over Mac -- but Mac is more secure.

Maybe not a useful statistic, but it&#x27;s definitely 100% not harmless in the correct dosage. It has been successfully used for both murder and suicide. Being water-soluble, just soak tobacco leaves in water and you&#x27;ll eventually be able to extract a useful amount.<p>I smoked for &gt;20 years, quit for 10, then started again when dealing with grief after my partner passed away, and smoked for another 10. I get it, literally: high-blood pressure, etc. Although, when quitting, it was always the tar that really drove me crazy.<p>Another thing I&#x27;ve realized, is that smoking is a double-whammy vector towards heart disease: smoking promotes heart disease directly, but smoking also promotes gum disease, and gum disease promotes heart disease.

Outreach programs typically don&#x27;t influence the hiring decision. But they influence the stream of people that will try to get an internship at your company.<p>For instance, if you&#x27;re a Stanford grad and keep strong ties with the alma mater, teachers there may say a word about you to their promising students, and you&#x27;ll end up with more people from Stanford than from e.g. Yale. A DEI program could look to fix that by advertising your company to other venues.<p>&gt; expanding that candidate stream has a very real cost for the business<p>I don&#x27;t dispute that, but we&#x27;ve moved from &quot;it would lead to worse hires&quot; to &quot;it would cost money to the company&quot;. If the company is willing to put $0 into the issue, business as usual is the only viable solution.

&gt;&gt; Google subsidizes them with money from ads.<p>if this is true, it&#x27;s very temporary and very fickle. It is well known that Google rewards (1) big, new initiatives over maintaining long-running projects, and (2) things that power the cash machine over anything else.<p>Neither of these are good for the OSS ecosystem.

There&#x27;s been a lot of reporting on Harris having a much closer and positive relationship with Silicon Valley than Biden, pretty much from the point where Biden withdrawing became a possiblity. Here&#x27;s an example, but you could find plenty more:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;us&#x2F;us-vice-president-harris-views-business-issues-2024-07-21&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;us&#x2F;us-vice-president-harris-vi...</a><p>It makes some sense. Biden was an ancient guy from the east cost, for whom the basis of wealth was manufacturing things and technology was confusing. Harris on the other hand built a political career in San Francisco during Silicon Valley&#x27;s ascendancy. She would naturally view that industry in a more positive light, and would have had a lot of contacts with and backing from that set during her early career.

&gt; I couldn&#x27;t get the clerk at the store to understand what was wrong.<p>Not surprising. Tons of Americans are borderline illiterate. It&#x27;s one of many things that makes it annoying to live here, especially as the amount of communication done in text increases with more advents in technology.<p>I recall reading somewhere that the standard reading level for the states is about sixth grade, and if anything that comes across to me as slightly generous. Honestly this is one of my few hopes with the proliferation of LLM: that it will make reading communications from other workers less utterly painful.

That seems less bad in the sense it would affect fewer people, but the ones it did affect would likely be much more strongly affected. For instance, I could imagine someone with an old daemon that had a too-level loop like:<p><pre><code> while True: try: serve() except: log(‘oops’) </code></pre> so that it was more or less bulletproof. This might be a highly unpleasant change for those people who counted on it running 24&#x2F;7 and never dying.<p>In other words, the current behavior is a minor hassle for many people. That change would be a major hassle for a few.<p>I’d be all for a deprecation warning on bare excepts. That might nudge a lot of people to fix their code without actively breaking anything.

Open-source just means you can see the source, as opposed to closed-source, which means you can&#x27;t see the the source.<p>The visibility of the source has no bearing if the source can be used, modified, distributed, or if the application is gratuitous or not.

We (almost) invariably tax money when it changes hands. Like if you own something and then I own it, there&#x27;s a tax. If I give something of value to someone else, the government takes a cut.<p>There&#x27;s a ton of nuance there, sometimes intended to avoid certain negative consequences that feel like double taxation or that provide peverse incentives. But that&#x27;s the general premise.<p>If you pay taxes on your income and then use it to buy something from me, I have to pay taxes on it too. That&#x27;s my income now.<p>If my father paid taxes on something he earned that&#x27;s his tax bill. When I get it, I have to pay too. That&#x27;s my income now.<p>This is very clear and consistent. Outside of all the people with an interest in pretending otherwise.<p>Also worth noting that there&#x27;s no state interest whatsoever in preserving generational wealth. Just none. The fact that kids have to earn their own money instead of a family coasting for generations is a <i>good thing</i> for the most part.<p>There are some plausible arguments for preserving continuity in certain cases, like community based family owned businesses, farms, that kind of thing. But everybody already agrees with that which is why those kinds of things have been generally exempt from estate taxes for generations. The people telling you otherwise are trying to trick you into caring about their agenda, which is how to not pay taxes on their substantial wealth.

You seem to be seeking to avoid working very much overall rather than avoiding the 9 to 5, which is a very different question. You are looking more at things like FIRE, except you don&#x27;t want to do the intense burst of productivity route either.<p>To do that, you need some combo of a skill that pays extremely well for little work and a certain financial frugality. I have found plenty, but they are mostly:<p>1. Rules arbitrage, so I am exploiting someone&#x27;s rules in a way they would not appreciate.<p>2. They do not scale. I don&#x27;t make substantial income from them.

I don’t think that is the case. Surface roughness and directional changes are big losses. For example a single valve on a high pressure line can have a bigger pressure drop than 2 bars. So 160 km of a pipeline will drop a lot more.

I have worked on firmware that has plenty of fixed point arithmetic. The firmware usually runs on processors without hardware floating point units. For example certain Tesla ECUs use 32-bit integers where they divide it into four bits of integer part and 28 bits of fractional part. So values are scaled by 2^28.

&gt; <i>The US government is considering seeking the break-up of the world&#x27;s biggest search engine, Google ...</i><p>Sorry, that BBC article reads like it was written by a nerd on HN or something. Google&#x2F;Alphabet, first and foremost, is the largest online advertiser via its acquisitions of YouTube, DoubleClick, and others, in addition to selling ad placement on Google Search via AdWords, plus a growing number of consumer portals for price comparisons etc. integrated with Google Search (leaving out tracking your activity on Android devices, Google&#x27;s cloud business, and Books&#x2F;scholar). The immediate antitrust perspective starts by looking at Alphabet&#x2F;Google subsidiaries both providing search results and ads on the pages listed in search results (and to a lesser degree even by pushing Google services via Google Search). This is what had ruined the web.<p>US antitrust is a lame duck anyway since it allowed the aquisitions of DoubleClick and YouTube in the first place, as well as the aquisition of WhatsApp by Facebook. The US stance of protecting business and turning a blind eye as long as US online hegemony and intelligence superiority is served isn&#x27;t helping their case against TikTok today. With the antitrust enforcement&#x27;s glacial pace, it&#x27;s not clear if and when a breakup will take place to help the deranged market or if it&#x27;s just political theater anyway, so other countries are well advised to take their own antitrust actions.

I feel like as a scripting language Python excels. Glad to have this PEP, but it would be more pythonic have except be optional.<p>The reason I pick up Python for projects is because it grows with the application; opportunities to add typing etc. Who knows maybe in a few years Python will enforce all the types and it will be as verbose as Java. Personally I’d like to see how they handle declaring a method or function throws exceptions.<p>Pretty narly we have compiled Python apps with poetry, it’s starting to punch out of its weight class.

Surely if you’ve seen any non-trivial amount of code, you have seen pure FP applied piecemeal even if not broadly. A single referentially transparent function <i>is pure FP</i>, even if it’s ultimately called by the most grotesque stateful madness.

It&#x27;s an interesting idea but why would I sign up and give you personal data without any idea of the site&#x27;s features or UI?

I entered the working world in the aftermath of the dotcom bust when JS was a nightmare of footguns (much more than now) and Microsoft literally had zero developers working on IE, the most-used browser in the world, for YEARS. Web dev was therefore stuck in an archaic prison and there was much rejoicing the day Microsoft announced they were once again assigning a team of developers to work on the browser. Fast forward a decade and a lot of terrible things in JS were being rectified at the language level. A dozen years ago, I tried a SPA for the first time and it seemed cool to have a framework (Angular, the first version) to provide more abstractions than jQuery and Backbone. However, the groupthink bandwagony insanity that ensued was ridiculous, and I felt like such an old codger trying to tell the kids to just be grateful that JS was finally working pretty well and move on and build stuff instead for a while instead of spending so much energy remaking the tools every 5 weeks. I&#x27;m not trying to be dramatic--I really do feel like companies have no idea how much they overspent on web app development in the past decade versus how much more working code they could&#x27;ve gotten for the money they spent. It literally felt like people were creating extra work, and had no idea how much easier it was than a few years before.

So it was a death-duty style tax - that makes more sense. For a minute I was imagining a lawyer reading a will. &quot;And lastly, I leave my entire 7 billion dollar fortune to... the U.S. Government.&quot;
