"IPv6 can generate more than 1 trillion addresses while the current IPv4 can 'only' generate 4.3 billion addresses." From wikipedia: "The length of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, compared with 32 bits in IPv4.[5] The

Given that they're both open source, built to the same open standard, and (at least nominally) completely interoperable, I'd say "complement" would be a better word than "rival."

To me, it looks like this is a tool mainly for people who aren't already comfortable and at home in the *TeX environment. As one of those people, I'm very interested in what the syntax of this project ends up looking like. My few

It depends on what you're trying to measure by "economic mobility" though. I can think of valid reasons to want to know the percentile change between a person and their parents, irrespective of the absolute value difference,

I have the same setup. Vagrant for VMs with an Ansible provisioner. I reuse about 80% of my playbooks between production and development, and the places they differ is primarily in setting up my dev environment nicely with the shell and SSH

I'm really intrigued by Elixir/Erlang and would love to learn more about it. The problem (and this isn't a criticism of the language at all) is that I just can't figure out what I would use it for. Currently I'm mos

Just an FYI in case the creator is here: on my 13" Macbook Pro the bottom of the slides are cut off at the default zoom level. I had to decrease the size to 75% to see the whole thing.

I think Ruby already serves this use case well. When I have to do file munging or sysadmin tasks that are a bit too complex for bash, Ruby always seems to have an elegant and readable way of getting done what I want to do. It's a combi

I'm living in the UK and am paid in USD in the US. My wife and I investigated a bunch of options on how to bring the money to the UK as cheaply as possible and this was the best one we've found so far.

Switching from a monolithic framework like Rails to a number of independent communicating services that handle different responsibilities is a classic step in scaling. However, to the best of my knowledge that transition usually involves mo

Yeah. Do we know what Justin.tv's hosting costs for all that data was, or what infrastructure they used to store and serve it? That's a lot of data to take care of for a service with no direct monetization.

One of the reasons that Bell was broken up in the first place was because they wouldn't allow competitors with cheaper long-haul rates for long distance calls to patch into their interconnects and thus offer their services to Bell cust

So it looks like the language isn't open source and won't target non-Apple runtimes? I'm not trying to troll, I just think that it's a pity that Apple tends to limit the ecosystem and applications of its otherwise-great

Sure, but this precedent against Prenda will make it much harder for other trolls to adopt the same strategy.

The closest thing I've seen to literate programming "in the wild" is the ipython notebook concept, which encourages you to intersperse your code with explanatory text to give it context and structure (eg http://nbv

As a python data novice, question about ipython notebooks: Do people tend to edit and view them in the included web service, or is there a way to set it up to use your preferred editor while still having the notebook visualization experienc

Dat is really exciting. A common format for sharing and hosting datasets, to say nothing of its versioning and transforming of data, is really necessary right now. I've been working on an open-source site that will act kind of like a G

I think this is similar to the question "does using turn-by-turn GPS make me a better navigator?" The answer could go either way. If you depend on the GPS to the exclusion of paying any attention to your surroundings, you'll
