I find v6 addresses no more difficult to remember that v4. It's a question of what you're used to and what you practice, both of which take time and exposure. I can tell you the prefixes on my home ADSL connection, but not necessa

Ah! T see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying and correcting me. I possibly have some sympathy with the anti-NAT view taken at the time, even if it ended up being the wrong thing to do it hindsight. Adding more mandatory complexity to impl

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but one of the points of the article in that you can represent IPv4 addresses in IPv6. In other words, IPv4 is a subset of IPv6. If I'm on an ipv6-only host and blast UDP at ::ffff:1.2.3.4, they s

Generally speaking, if you're trying to write a reliable distributed system (and email is a massively distributed system), a good principle to follow is to retry on failure, no matter the failure. Obviously there are edge cases, and ob

I hate to entertain this bad analogy further than necessary, but knowing what a gearbox is in the field of cars is not even remotely near the same level as knowing what a b-tree is in the field of software engineering.

by growse 6y ago
This is not a good analogy. Most cars work in roughly the same way. Most software does not. Software engineering is a diverse enough topic that you can have two "software engineers" who, aside from very broad general concepts li

More mass means more inertia, which means you get more body roll and heave. To counter this, you need to compromise on your suspension design (essentially make it stiffer) to stop the thing flopping about. There is some nuance here though:
