The way this article is written feels very selfish with a distinct lack of empathy for how so called introverts might have felt in a similar position
Thing like this feel especially disingenuous
> Living a real, physical life outside the home is good because humans need friction. Convenience is alluring but it is dangerous, because getting used to it means forgetting that being alive isn’t meant to always be easy. We should run our errands in person and queue at the Post Office and eat in restaurants because it is good to remember that sometimes we have to wait around, or go to several shops because the first one didn’t have what we needed.
These are things I was able and am able to do without have to go to the office five days a week
That’s because nobody normal— anyone who isn’t a tech person— remembers IP addresses.
Hell I can’t get tech people I work with to give me their public IP.
Because the fields are there for humans, in the packet itself it’s a 32bit integer, and you can’t just arbitrarily make the src/dest fields in the packet bigger— it stops being IPv4 then.
They are also a lot more vulnerable to flooding which is also a major issue in a hurricane
In a hurricane, 90% of the damage is in distribution, the only thing that fixes it are boots on the ground
They would almost be writing it like that, if they were making statements without qualification.
But luckily they were not.
That really does say something about how unrealistic house prices are nowadays, doesn’t it?
Handheld was never specified directly, just “stood with a” which can just mean “next to.”
The HP 5061 was introduced in 1964, why do you think a counter that can reference the frequency standard is not possible?
You might want to be more rigorous about reading specifications.
It’s
copyright. Not
authorright.
The exclusive ability to copy is granted as a conceit.
The restriction only came about because publishers got mad.
Back when I ran a nitter instance, I’d get emails about the GDPR.
I’d simply delete them, no problem.
Feels like?
What evidence do you have for the sloppiness and how does the current model fail to explain the deviation in observations?
The mission goal was to land a man on the moon and return him to earth safely.
Where’s the barely? What would you have done better?
Robots aren’t performing science, they’re doing one half of one step of the scientific method: collecting data in an experiment. It’s humans doing all the rest.
It can’t have “all the same problems” because a number of the engineering problems came from having the spacecraft on the side of the launch vehicle
You’re getting scammed with the AWS cost calculator or anything more than $20/mbps
Good for you, I can’t and now I have to deal with endless pop ups about cookies.
CIA/phone company/Apple/Google/FB/some rando are all different, independent, situations; as a reasonable adult I have decided that some of them are acceptable, some of them are not.
I think thres’s also been a large sea change in the thinking that happens in finding the reason for anomalous behavior. Nowadays remote compromise is one of the first things on my mind when troubleshooting but, back in the 90s it was much lower on the list. I think the tooling would have been there to find it easy, but I think getting in the mindset where it needs to be found would be harder.
You get very close to the real issue here:
The important part of a flying machine wasn’t the machine itself, but the engine to run the machine itself. We’ve had flying machine designs for centuries but it only took 27 years after the Otto engine was invented to put one in the air.
ECMO is the flying machine design
The real world of 2024, or the real world when this software was written?
This is kind of a silly argument, for every item you shoplift: do you ask if you can take it without paying and then get granted permission?
That’s perfectly consistent with sources of bad actor data I have access to and compile myself.
Why does Epic get the privilege to force me to buy things through their store?
If you have legs that unfurl, now you have minimum three more more systems that fail and cause the same problem
“The competition” is just Google/Chrome.
Unless there’s someone else?

Anycast does not really make the pricing that different.
Especially since one does not have to backhaul the traffic to one specific PoP.
Cloudflare manages to run their Anycast CDN as a loss leader just fine.
