I stand corrected, RFC 4038 seems to be what I was looking for. But it seems to be a late addition, and OS support is optional. If developers think moving their apps to IPv6 is too…

IPv6 could have done three things. First, embed the "legacy" address space. Second, have legacy-to-legacy connections use v4 on the wire. Third, strongly encourage existing user-ma…

It sucks at being compatible with ipv4. The "billion dollar mistake" :-) It also sucks at having software/hardware stacks nearly as well debugged as those for ipv4, which means run…

"We" don't have to move to ipv6, even if "they" have to. The internet can plausibly support both protocols forever.

From the article: "It’s not like they’re bumping it by a buck and making a little bit more money. They are really tanking sales and it kind of has a ripple effect to us, being a sm…

Most of your comments would be vastly improved by omitting the reams of repl output.

Antitrust regulators should look into this one. EDIT: ...because the policy punishes advertisers use of other advertising providers.

True. Sadly. Alas, while Russian (and Chinese) general disinterest in f'ing with you does help, their equally developed general disinterest in your well-being means they might have…

You are right, the 1960 paper describes a language that is a pure functional language. I think it even was the first published pure functional language (pointers to earlier work we…

Does Clojure predate FSet? If you hadn't written "now" here, I'd have guessed otherwise. My only complaint about FSet would be map default values; not necessarily the fact they exi…

Timing. Where do you think G slots in the timeline, relative to the Latin classics?

How's wot? As far as I have been informed, [1] surviving Europeans/Asians are Neanderthalized (hybrids), and [2] no pure Neanderthals are living today.

And yet Neanderthalized hybrids are the only known survivors coming out of whatever happened between those species.
