The way I see it, this is the only possible purpose this system could have. With the press after this announcement, almost every single person in posession of those materials knows it's not safe to store them on an iPhone. By it's

This is a pretty weird question considering the mountains of documentation of authorities doing just that. This is not some kind of hypothetical that needs extraordinary justification.

At this point most of them do, but also require customers to explicitly opt-in. I think cloudflare is the only exception there, it won't even let you opt out unless you're on a paid plan.

That is not advisable right now as you'll cut off a lot of users. Some providers like unglei.ch do offer an IPv4->IPv6 proxy if you absolutely don't want to deal with IPv4 though.

Not sure what you mean, but there's definitely no need to type addresses anywhere. Router Advertisements propagate the subnet information (prefix, dns server, etc.) to clients in the network. Prefix delegation allows downstream routers

IPv6 has Stateless Address Auto-Configuration (SLAAC) as preferred method for address assignment. This allows clients to generate addresses for themselves as needed. For that to work efficiently, the address space needs to be sufficiently l

That's to be expected. All it does is ensure the accuracy of the email sender. Which finally lets you attach reputation to domains instead of addresses.

We used up 256 /8 blocks in roughly three decades. That's roughly 9 per year. Even if we are more conservative now, freeing up a /8 here or there will not significantly change the situation. 32 bits are woefully inadequate no

That is the exact opposite of what I'm saying. Saying the market place of ideas was an utopian dream that failed is like saying the divine right of kings was an utopian idea that failed. At best, it is something people were conned into

I wouldn't say it has failed, but succeeded. The framing of the "marketplace of ideas" has really always been about paving over power dynamics and justify continuing harm by appealing to something external. In your marketplac

You really don't need to do much to catch their ire. It's enough to annoy one wrong person, especially if you're vaguely trans or some other minority.

I don't think that will happen just because the real problem is how software like this is usually bought. They'll ask 20 departments for their (heavily conflicting) requirements and then chose the one that ticks the most boxes wit

AFAIR the reason this database is stored as SHA-1 hashes is because that's what a large amount of the original data dumps contained. Moving to a harder hash would have required cracking all of them first and wouldn't do much more

I have never used svlogd but at it looks like it does read logs from it's stdin, which is a solid step forward as it avoids much of the pitfalls caused by applications writing directly into log files. Collection is just the first part

> Just writing stuff to a file was fine. Haha, I wish. Then that file becomes too large. So you want to truncate the start. However, removing bytes from the start of an open file is a bad idea. So you open a new log file every day instea

It sounds like what you ran into are the effects of the general trend of doing more in early boot, as https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-i... elaborates on, which is independent of sys

I'd assume the lackluster selection of operations and how deeply nested some of the information is within the type. Definitely not the most ergonomic thing. My personal favorite is probably the python ones. Only annoyance is difficulty

The other way of looking at it is that the companies haven't entrenched a monopoly yet.

That's great to hear! Hope you're right.

It's less that you need to store many of them at the same time, but that it increases the amount of garbage collections. If you can create half as much garbage per packet or request, that's double the time until you hit the thresh

I can't tell if your're being sarcastic but it's hard to find a program that uses UDP and doesn't at some point store IP addresses in a hashmap. Many more will do the same for per-IP rate limiting. I think those are reas

by ATsch 6y ago
I think being able to compare or hash IP addresses is a pretty baseline feature for an IP address type. I don't think that's some kind of unpredictable hindsight or tradeoff.

I am not saying that the type is unusable. Plenty of high profile software has been written with C strings too yet we almost universally recognize them today as a mistake. What I'm saying is that the design flaws of net.IP, the absence

Reading the description of the stdlib type, I can't help but be reminded of the statement that the go way of solving a problem is to ignore real-world problems and half-ass things for the sake of a simplicity that merely pushes the com

Hey, thanks for the detailed comment. I should note I didn't intend to create the impression that GPUs and CPUs architectures were completely interchangeable. That's obviously not true, because of the fixed function hardware alone

My primary objection is not to the SIMT model, but NVidia reusing a term with an established meaning ("core") for something completely different and incomparable. Other companies terms like "execution units", "compu

I definitely agree with it being a useful model, after all that is the the way GPUs are presented to programmers. But when getting into detailed performance comparisons, especially with CPUs, that simplified model breaks down quickly and be

"CUDA Core" is a misleading marketing term. It merely counts the number of FP32 ALUs. If you measured CPUs this way, you'd have up to 16 "cores" per core. If you count it that way, that makes this CPU is roughly as

I'm sure every project having it's own buffer, list, config, logging, hashmap and endianness implementation helps a lot with that :)
