DisplayPort 1.2 can do a single stream 4k@60Hz display. The first batch of 4k displays to market used the tiling hack to get around some other limitations but these have been resolved in the most recent display iterations. ASUS PB287Q and S

While you can use a DisplayPort display with a Thunderbolt iMacs, you cannot use target display mode on a Thunderbolt iMac with a DisplayPort 1.2 PC (or pre-thunderbolt mac).

How do I not get a voice plan? (tablet aside) Nearly all decent data plans (in the US at least) have a mandatory unlimited voice/SMS bundled.

Normally after the pedestrian countdown is finished the light turns yellow, then red for traffic moving in the same direction. Traffic in the perpendicular direction then gets a green light making it unsafe for pedestrians to cross. The iss

Google maps / transit routing smartphone apps do a pretty good job of this. I've not had trouble coming into a new city, asking Google maps to give me mass transit directions and just following them. Most cities have real time bus

that is unfortunate considering they are using cloudflare... I wonder what the hacker news software does with IPv4 addresses that couldn't work behind the service described in the article.

IPv6 gives you the ability to make that choice for yourself rather than having it foisted upon you.

IPv6 mobile address portability attempts to keep your IPv6 address constant as you move around different wireless access points or LANs within a company or ISP network. It doesn't provide a globally static address or way to provide a s

In theory this setup would be perfect. In practice it is a nightmare because the software makes managing media split across multiple file systems that may or may not be available at any given time very hard. It is particularly bad within th

Not sure about the parent here, but I was certainly considering longer term. I would expect early on that there would be high tech tools and items brought on the ship or built form parts of the ship. Actually setting up local production fro

A somewhat related question. How many people would it take to sustainably maintain current levels of technology if given time to prepare, the ability to bring all of our knowledge (but not realtime communication with Earth), and a reasonabl

Agreed. None of the options for accessing IPv4 only websites via IPv6 only hosts are great. If you are running an IPv4 only website or service this should hopefully worry you.

In this case, your network is probably doing NAT64 or you should be doing it. For non-HTTPS web there is also: https://www.sixxs.net/tools/gateway/

TWC is definitely not as far along in their deployment. It might just take some more time. =\ Edit: If I recall correctly, when Comcast was doing their initial deployment they started with end nodes only (not delegating prefixes). Then move

I have Comcast cable service in Chicago. I have an SB6120 modem and an Airport Extreme base station. I didn't do anything special beyond plug it in. The Airport Base has an IPv6 page that shows what the delegated /64 subnet is. Al

The change from Jan to Feb 2014 alone is impressive: Comcast: 20.61% -> 24.42% AT&T: 13.53% -> 16.77% Verizon Wireless: 40.03% -> 45.75% Time Warner Cable: 3.88% -> 5.37% T-Mobile USA: 9.58% -> 15.76% Google Fiber: 71.87%

I've been looking for a good book that teaches idiomatic C++11 programming from scratch. Something like Accelerated C++ or Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ but using C++11/14 only. Lots of the C++11 books I've f

Any plans for IPv6 support?

Marginal Cost. IPv4 addresses are expensive, IPv6 practically free. Direct addressability. Removes the need for slow, expensive intermediaries like NAT boxes and certain types of proxies by allowing security policies to be applied independe

Most ipv6 enabled home routers have firewalls with a "block all incoming connections except for listed exceptions" feature. This effectively gives you the same security as NAT but without the port mangling (can run multiple machin

yes and no. As long as you are able to get a globally routeable ipv4 address for your home at a reasonable price, no. Once you start being subjected to CGN (either or your end or on the remote end) or the price pressure of IPv4 in your regi

Yes, it really is that useful. The ability to directly connect to machines on my home network without mucking with VPNs, port forwarding, etc is fantastic. The key thing it does is reduces friction when creating or using anything that could
