Look, we're using Uber Eats to order food for "free food Tuesdays" in our office. I'm struggling to not puke using their interface, and a couple of times I gave up ordering even though it was free. Every click can take 2

What next? Perhaps a small scripting language to run on the side of the terminal? You know, just to make some simple automations possible, nothing super-special.

Oh yeah. That was me during my philosophy class. My cheat sheet had an index before I was finished.

That's because subways are a dead end. They need to be removed entirely, and the dense cities need to be de-densified. That's the long-term plan. > I’m actually trying to just get folks who don’t want to drive and shouldn’t be

It is, because it uses atomic ops. It is one of the main sources of overhead, unfortunately.

I'm backing up a big dataset onto tapes, so I wanted to automate it. I have an idle 64Gb VRAM setup in my basement, so I decided to experiment and tasked it with writing an LTFS implementation. LTFS is an open standard for filesystems

The problem here is the IPv6 design. It has multiple ways of configuration, and ALL of them suck. Manual address input is clumsy because of IPv6 address length, stateless RA is limited and doesn't allow network introspection, stateless

IPv4 allows fragmentation by the middleboxes, which in practice papers around a lot of PMTU issues. The IPv6 failing was not taking advantage of the new protocol to properly engineer fragmentation handling. But wait, there's more! IPv6

I can type entire SIP handshakes from memory. And by now I'm convinced that STUN/TURN are a superior solution to IPv6, even with CGNAT. Others agree with me. Don't believe me? Try to find a SIP provider in the US that has IPv

The simple answer is: they just don't deploy IPv6. These days you can use ULA and third-party monitoring tools instead of DHCP.

IPv6 is a recursive WTF. It might _look_ like a conservative expansion of IPv4, but it's really not. A lot of operational experience and practices from IPv4 don't apply to IPv6. For example, in IPv4 each host has one local net add

A deli sandwhich will be about the same. You need to eat 4000 calories to last for two days. That's an insane amount for one meal, whatever you eat.
802.
by cyberax 7mo ago
Sorry, don't exaggerate please. A Subway sandwhich is about 600 calories. That's about 1/3 of the daily 2000 calories standard. A Shake Shack shake tops out at 1010 calories, a half of the daily norm.

> The Bring radical has a great geometric interpretation Erm... No. It's not great. > Why not invite it to the table of functions? Because it's too arbitrary.
804.
by cyberax 7mo ago
Sure. But the square root and the sine function also have nice geometric interpretations. Bring radicals don't. They're just defined as a solution to this particular quintic. Kinda the similar story with the Lambert function.

by cyberax 7mo ago
Bring radicals are just cheating. You can't solve an equation? Why not just introduce a function that is equal to the solution of the equation! Problem solved.

Why would it be surprising? And if you want something truly surprising, Riemann's zeta function can approximate any holomorphic function arbitrarily well on the critical strip. So technically you need only _one_ argument.

"Limit" how? I suggest looking at any real code in Oberon that has to deal with the real world. E.g. a USB driver.
