As fun as that was to read, I would never apply.

The type of person who is attracted to this position will be a very unique person, to say the least.

I guess we are throwing UDP out the windows all together now? ;)

Won't somebody think of the routers?!

Header size is 8-20 (without options) and if you read the article closelyer you'll see the total packet size was 480ish.

I dont know how you are getting 21/461 = 22 ?

For business purposes, chopping up templates gets the job done. I personally have accepted the fact I do not have the "aesthetic eye" for design.

If I wanted to get that "eye" I guess I would look at successful websites, learn about design and what catches/pleases readers. How readers see websites in general and what is appealing, then just try things.

I cant recommend taking my advice but that's what I would do if I wanted to increase my design knowledge.

Congratulations on the release. I am currently a deep shade of green as I am a devops engineer who has a pipe dream of creating and releasing a game really just for the pleasure of just doing it and learning a language (and hopefully a personally successful future as a freelance dev). I have been looking at C# and Unity. I started digging into c# but I am a weak python guy so it's frustrating :)

You are a great motivator! Your work is appreciated. Congrats again.

For reference, I graduated HS in 2005 so my childhood was mid to late 90s. My friends and I used to tell our parents were were all going to each others houses and then ride our bikes all around town, through construction sites, abandoned factories, down highways, etc. None of us were abducted, died, injuries happen but who doesn't fall off their bike now and then ;)

The only times cops were involved were when someone called them. Cops would show up, talk to us, then leave once they knew we weren't making trouble and were safe. Never followed up on us or our parents. The only scary situation is once we were playing paintball and someone said a bunch of kids with guns are running around, cops showed up, searched us then went home laughing.

I think the difference today is all related to liability and the helicopter culture it created. Maybe the cops are just CYAing themselves by involving CPS. Maybe the cops didn't like the parents attitude and involved CPS. There is a huge stigma today about being up your kids ass and if you're not, you're a bad parent. Politicians and the media bank big time on pushing these "morals" and punishing anyone who thinks differently. It's not something that will be fixed tomorrow.

I look at the kids in my neighborhood and I feel sad for them. They wont have the experience I had. I am sure everyone feels that way though, the only difference is 15 years ago no one was going to jail or losing their kids over politics.

My comment is a little all-over-the-place but my point is, raising a kid in America is too dangerous of a risk for me and it's a sad thing to think about. The cultural fixes are all very obvious but then what will the news talk about? What will politicians campaign about? How can our leaders show they are "tough on the issues" unless they are relentlessly hammering insanity?

I always think of a quote from The Other Guys when topics like this come up because the solution is so obviously simple but so obviously never going to happen...

Gamble: What about nine million socially-conscious and unified citizens, all just stepping up and doing their part?

Thinking about the answer to this hurts my brain. Ultimately, with the amount of money and resources available to the "bad guys", I can't imagine something as truly uncrackable.

But I am just a lowely infrastructure guy that builds VPNs, lots of smart folks out there :)

Out of the box these home routers all come with the same subnet (every linksys out of box runs 192.168.1.0/24 in the US ). Private addressing behind the box is meaningless in the telecom cloud. It's all NAT.

Could be 10/8 used elsewhere for some other network but us infrastructure guys are lazy. NAT that shit. I've never known an ISP to be a monument to best practices.

I've yet to come across any 30/8 subnets in my career. RFC1918 gives one a shit-ton of address space to work with. Bleeding into the 30/8 for necessity seems like something is wrong somewhere.

The fact ipv6 isnt more widely adopted reiterates my point above, engineers are lazy and NAT works. I've only known one company to use public ipv4 space for managment and they were a mess. I'd love to say using 30/8 is out of necessity or out of laziness but it's just oddly convenient.

I'm always surprised how few network guys are on HN.

Every device in infrastructure should have a management address. This int is routed differently than the data interface. In a datacenter, management will be a separate physical int but telecom can't go running 2 cables into a house so it's a logical management int in that case. Comcast remotes into my modem all the time for management purposes (service magically goes out) and I doubt they login via my DHCP address from them. It's just good practice to manage a device from a management int and in a consumer environment this should be hidden from the user. Everyone in infrastructure knows, the less the user knows the better.

Tinfoil hat time - funny cowinkydink they chose a DoD subnet. Why wouldn't they use 10.0.0.0/8 like the rest of the world? Could be them being different, could be something more. Convenient for the DoD to own the management subnet, just saying.

Hi, welcome to Earth. Can't we all just play/create games, deal with the riff raff (like every other aspect of life) and move forward?

I'm honestly really surprised that someone on HN would assume HoneyPot was anything but a reference to the "technical" honeypot. Guy deserves a downvote.

Hacker News hug of death? I am new to guitar and was excited to see what this was.

Thank you!

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the SICP recommendation! Great bed time reading.

I am slowly chiseling away at my 10k hours :)

I have this issue with learning guitar right now. Finding a competent mentor, on recommendation, is surprisingly difficult.

I spend a lot of time on git reading code, shamelessly stealing function and seeing how they work in my code. I am glad that there is benefit to what I am doing. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for the advice

Thank you for the interesting insight :)
