Provide a definition of consciousness that isn’t circular and we can get a discussion going. That’s the thing that seems to be missing from every one of these discussions… everyone just seems to assume some vague, fuzzy definition of consci

The idea is to minimize the number of “am I done?” checks. If you have to copy 100 bytes, a naive approach would be to just do `while (cur < last) { dst[cur] = src[cur++]; }`, but that checks cur < last every single byte. So you’d rat

You’re certainly swooping in to defend them as if you work for them so I’d just as soon assume you do. If the QR codes just sent me to a page saying “lol just search the web for the menu, you shouldn’t need to be spoon fed” then I’d leave t

Excellent attitude you have there. Any number of usability concerns can be addressed by calling the user stupid and telling them to go elsewhere.

What link? The one directly below the title links to the authors about page. The next link down is a “google scholar” link which just links to a search for beyondcorp. The first link in said search is to a “dialnet.uniroja.es” site. Is th

Am I crazy or is there nothing here? I see an abstract, a link to some unrelated search, “research areas” (another unrelated link) then a footer with a link to their team. Where do I actually read about beyondcorp?

Oh just fuck right off. You’re already following me around from thread to thread calling me names and now you’re saying I’m using “bad software” for using the built-in, recommended router advertisement daemon on the operating system that ha

To add to your point, Microsoft had originally envisioned that vendors would write their own HAL.DLL’s to make Windows compatible with their hardware, but it turned out nobody really had the expertise needed to do that, and Windows started

Even without gravitational slingshots, the simple solution would be to just take advantage of the oberth effect and do many, many successive burns, retrograde at aphelion and prograde at perihelion, until your perihelion is low enough to in

“If we don’t kill ourselves first” is doing all the heavy lifting here. I’m not convinced that more time helps us, given that civilization itself is very fragile and we are continually a moment away from nuclear holocaust ending everything

Yup, the only real way we could ever set up a long term habitat on mars would be to do it underground to shield from the radiation. The only way we could maybe justify the huge pain in the ass it would be to stay there long term, is if we t

Chiming in with another “no” here. We adopted a message bus/event-driven architecture when moving a very popular piece of software from the cloud, to directly on the user’s device… it was a disaster IMO. The core orchestration of the s

How could it not be a compromise? If I use a global unicast prefix, the IPs I see on my devices are their real honest to goodness routable IP. That is great! But I can’t use that IP in any configuration because it will change. That’s not so

rtadvd does support advertising old prefixes with zero lifetime to rescind them. rad does not. I’ll let you guess what daemon is deprecated, and what daemon is the new one you’re supposed to use in OpenBSD. https://undeadly.org&#

This article hints at what I consider to be the biggest technical drawback to IPv6 for residential use, which is that dynamic prefixes mean your internal LAN IPs are never stable. The answer to this is usually something like “duh, use DNS”,

I can't get any of that to my house. Comcast doesn't support BGP advertising a custom /48, and I can't even get one in the first place unless I'm dual-homed. The product you linked to has no details but it seems lik

> Sorry, what's your point? That having both address autoconfiguration and DHCP is too complex? My point is very simple: you can’t say “IPv6 is simpler because there’s no DHCP” if there’s DHCP. It’s pretty obvious right?

Thinking aloud: there needs to be a rethinking of how prefixes work in the next ::/3 we allocate for global unicast: it should be possible for individuals to get their own /48 for basically the same price as a domain name today. H

I think you’re making my point for me quite nicely… Originally it was “IPv6 is great, you don’t need dhcp”, but then it became “well you may need DHCP anyway so here’s DHCPv6”, and then that becomes necessary often enough that you can’t rea

Right, I picked the word “eroded” because it’s not like the benefit is completely gone, but it’s not what was originally envisioned. I do ULA+global unicast too, but it would be far simpler if I actually had a reliable stable prefix and c

Right, which is why you can mmap way more data than you have ram, and treat it as though you do have that much ram. It’ll be slower, perhaps by a lot, but most “big data” stuff is already so god damned slow that mmap probably still beats it

It’s interesting because much of the “better” has eroded away in the current IPv6 landscape: - “You don’t need NAT”: well, you still need a stable address space for your LAN that survives your ISP randomly changing your prefix (which has ha
