One of the arguments I have heard that he did not have a proof is the following. He wrote his note in his copy of Arithmetica around 1637. He most likely wrote his proof for the ca…

Yep. We can go around and around. Like, does health care count for some of the discrepancy? Or the more generous time off that Europeans typically have? I do recall some reports th…

These topics are just so difficult to debate. They are filled with feelings and one person's perspective or anecdote, and it is difficult to drill down into what is true or what is…

I agree. No matter how complicated, or unnecessary, or unintuitive a piece of software or technology is... There is always this contingent of people who pop in and say "It is not t…

I guess I am officially old and no longer know what the cool "it" is any more. The C++17 example seems much more clear to me. It is more typing, but so what? It is not that much mo…

Ah! Thank you for the more in depth explanation. I was not aware that codeberg had such a system. As others pointed out, it is probably iocaine.

Thank you. I went and looked at what else it could do and it does have a much larger feature set.

Is your complaint about Anubis? I see the "checking if you are human" kind of text too when going to codeberg, but it is usually only a second or two. It is because I run a bit of …

Question for mermaid users out there. I have not used mermaid more than just superficially looking at it but it looks to me like a re-implementation of graphviz? Which has been aro…

When news broke about the affair, I remembered, 6 months prior, watching an episode of the Daily Show where Jon Stewart interviewed Paula Broadwell and they even made jokes about i…

I sort of agree with the idea that LLMs are great (sometimes) at distilling all the quantifiable things they have churned through into something similar or, perhaps, putting togeth…

Agreed. The best time to form a union was 20 years ago (Especially because Tech Workers had leverage because they were in demand). The second best time to form a union is today.

I jumped to a similar conclusion right away and popped over here to comment only to find you have beaten me to the punch. I use to keep a work wiki page of common problems the team…

It is a tale as old as time (in the industry) I wrote a while back, Most of the executives I have met really have no clue. They just go with what is being promoted in the space bec…

I love fossil. Something about it's opinionated workflow that matches what I think. But network effects. I just can not bring my team to use fossil. They have to share code with ot…

I prefer the full quote by Douglas Adams. I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal …

Many years ago. Maybe 2005 to 2015? I had a friend who used cpanel to run a web hosting company. He made quite a bit of money doing that. He was not a programmer, but he could setu…

I always liked looking at the maps different people have made over the years. It is interesting how they can come out looking different but represent the same latent space. https:/…

You wrote "I don't understand what is missing" ipv6 was standardized in 1995 6to4 was standardized in 2001 6to4 is not used in any meaningful way today. What was missing was ipv6 s…

The embedding I believe you are referring to is not a part of the global routing model. (maybe I am wrong?) What I am describing is making that kind of declaration central to the s…

Opening a dual stack ipv4 and ipv6 does allow the service to accept both ipv4 and ipv6 connections. But I do not think that is what zadikian is getting at? It does not address the …

I remember reading about that a long time ago. I wonder why it never really caught on? I think part of the problem is not so much a technical one, as a coordination issue. Who are …
