Prolog is great because when it works it feels like magic. You give it some pragmas and it tells you the answer. The downside is when it doesn't work it also feels like magic. It's not easy to reason about the amount of work it

If you go to a store and note the security camera locations one thing that is obvious is most of them are pointed at the employees.

Generally the larger the codebase the harder it is to secure. I am less worried about security vulnerabilities on small tightly focused apps than I am on gigantic monstrosities with hundreds of different attack surfaces.

Frankenstein porn was not exactly uncommon, but this lowers the barrier to entry even more and we really don't need it.

Do the math on 2^64 possible host addresses, multiply by the length of an IPv6 ICMP ECHOREQUEST, and then divide by available bandwidth to determine how long it might take you to scan a single subnet. Hint: the ICMPv6 packet is no shorter t

Funny enough I actually looked at a scheme for corporate networks where your personal corporate ID is encoded as part of the host bits of the IPv6 packet and policy could be applied based on who you are instead of what machine it is (or bot

You are being tracked on IPv4 via the gateway address. It's no different. Changing your local IPv4 address does absolutely nothing, while changing the local IPv6 address does almost nothing. Hooray.

Point of fact it's giving 4 billion Internets worth of addresses to every local subnet. You will sometimes see admins complain that IPv6 demands that you allow ICMP (at least the TOOBIG messages) through the firewall because they'

Where IPv6 is struggling the most is corporate networks. There are many network admins that are afraid of IPv6 and don't want to learn about it, so they just block it at the gateway.

I'm not sure what you mean by "leak your IP" since IP address is always how you communicate. I guess you mean you no longer have a 192.168 or a 10. address that is "hidden" from the Internet for whatever value that

What would a new standard do that would make it more popular? IPv6, for all its faults, is designed to be the last Internet Protocol we will ever need.

by jandrese 9mo ago
Last time I looked at Digital Ocean they had completely missed the purpose of IPv6 and would only assign a droplet a /124 and even then only as a fixed address like they were worried we are going to run out of addresses.

He's talking about using VLC for transcoding or encoding, where the functionality has lots of issues and is kind of bolted on the side. VLC for playing is totally fine.

If the Apple II had something similar to Steam do you think you would have pirated as much? Ignore the fact that the tech wasn't ready yet and imagine a world where buying Apple II software was as frictionless as buying a Steam game.

That was a bit of a two edged sword as the heavily overclocked Celerons would benchmark extremely well, but be somewhat disappointing in actual applications due to the lack of cache space. It was right at the start of the era where cache m

Ultimately the more ridiculous and unbelievable the beliefs are the stronger your faith must be to keep them. It is a paradox of religion. I believe this is the underlying force that pushes people out to the fringes of their religion: the

The Rapture is more of a pop culture thing than a widespread belief among Americans, but there is one notable exception: Evangelicals. For some reason Evangelicals latch on to some of the weirder parts of Christianity.

That's one hell of a lost generation. Interesting that being baptized is not a requirement since that's often mandatory to even be considered for entry into heaven. Getting infants baptized is a big deal in some denominations.

This site has a tag for games that get relisted, but it really needs one for games that got remastered as well. It's a bit misleading to say a game is gone when you can still buy the GOTY version. Really, it would be nice if every lis
