Actually the takedown wasn't mandatory because (AFAIK, IANAL, etc) it wasn't actually a takedown request that GitHub received. Takedowns only apply to infringing content itself, not to tools. (Even if the tool were in violation

Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff! > IPv6 is specifically designed so that routing stops at the /64 level and uses NDP after that I thought IPv6 also supported subnets, DHCP, and static configuration, just like IPv4?

The skill floor I'm referring to is across the entire market, not a single job. I didn't claim that the skill required in that particular example had changed at all. Rather, I pointed out that the underlying process taking place t

Well I guess without abstract reasoning ability (and thus no conceptual context in the human sense) "understanding" in the way the word is typically used is presumably impossible. But I don't see any reason you couldn't

It's in a nearby comment chain, but apparently my understanding was outdated and/or just incomplete. The SLAAC privacy extensions will make use of a full /64 prefix instead of a device specific one. That makes it functionally

Sorry, I think I didn't articulate very well. It's not just ISPs, can't we arbitrarily nest networks? And you might foreseeably desire privacy on one of these interior LANs. Or perhaps your ISP is abusive and you can't s

> The level of skill and automation potential aren't related. I never claimed they were? I said that when a job is automated away, any that replace it inevitably require a higher skill level. Thus the skill floor rises over time. &g

Whoops I didn't realize the privacy extensions had managed to address this already. In other words, just collide and fix it up later. Are you necessarily guaranteed 48 bits of address space though? Can't an ISP assign you any size

I think the situation is quite a bit more complicated than you make out. To my ISP, NAT obscures device browsing history (assuming there are multiple people and devices within a household). To the best of my knowledge an ISP has no realisti

In general, I agree that you're probably right. Asimov tends to be remarkably articulate though so it might be worth it (or it might not, I've never read that particular title). Note that while older scientific materials (ie resea

No, GGP is saying that we (users) have no right to complain about a FOSS developer abandoning their project since we don't compensate them for it. GP is saying yeah, that's great and all, but other people try to push everyone to

Yes, I'm aware (see my nearby comment for more detail). I very much enjoy writing Common Lisp, but use SBCL almost exclusively specifically because of the amount of (static) type checking it does. Even then, there are significant limit

In context, particularly given the reference I made to Typed Racket, it should be abundantly clear that I'm referring to the lack of static typing there. That being said, I think you'll find truly untyped languages hard to come by

GP isn't talking about the runtime implementation but rather the serialization format. You can serialize a map as a list. Therefore, a hypothetical Lisp-like language based around maps could simply end up consisting of lists that conta

For someone who hasn't used sexprs or looked at an AST before, it might not be clear why a data structure and atomic elements are goals in the first place. I tried to write an explanation but found it surprisingly difficult to articula

Agreeing, I'd point out that C++ templates are Turing complete (and now they've added constinit and friends). That can certainly result in bad code, but it also enables very good code as well (ex the Eigen library). Python objects

I agree in principle, but a much easier fix would be to host such code on a tor hidden service. That way the physical server can be located more or less wherever. Then we just have to normalize the use of Tor so that banning it becomes unth
