The easiest fix for this is the "WHERE 1=1" or "WHERE true"

1=1 is not a security risk

I get how this isn't good. But how else would you handle multi-field filtering, keep all the ANDs and use (product_id = $1 OR $1 IS NULL) so the unset filters are no-op? That's ok …

Yeah, so often do I have an EXPLAIN ANALYZE query.txt file I'm repeatedly editing in one window and piping into psql in another to try and make something faster. So I put WHERE tru…

Sounds like that DBMS would work better with serial int PKs

I feel like residential ipv6 would be at least a little further along if routers simply always enabled NAT by default for it, like what cell providers do. Solves all these question…

RFC 2765 isn't about keeping ipv4 blocks in ipv6, if I understand correctly. It's about translator boxes for ipv6-only hosts to talk to ipv4-only ones by acquiring temporary ipv4 a…

4-to-5 NAT would be effectively the same if that's what you use, but I don't see why you'd need one.

Hm. Tempted to try pytorch on my Mac for this. I have an AS chip rather than a Nvidia GPU.

I agree then, the defaults are a problem.

I'm not saying we can avoid updating routers/hosts/DNS/etc, but it's only one piece of the migration puzzle. Otherwise we'd be done already. I elaborated when responding to a simil…

The second thing is the problem with not having NAT. On a home or corp network, I like NAT. I'm not trying to host 20 servers there. Sure ipv6 can use it too, but it's never defaul…

But you're still using ipv4, which cannot be upgraded in-place the way I described. I responded to a sibling comment about the second question.

You still make the same big changes, but the difference is you don't have to do them all at the same time. You also skip the complicated add-ons of ipv6 and don't reassign everythi…

Yes, everything has to be updated eventually, but going forward doesn't have to be this hard. A network and its hosts could start supporting ipv6 without changing anything else. Sa…

Yeah, the route fragmentation a disadvantage of what I've had in mind. My focus is just on getting things to speak v6 to fix the scarcity problem first. Maybe at some point the own…

But then you're still using ipv4.

That's my proposal, ipv6 with extra steps. As in, incremental steps instead of one impossibly big change. tl;dr keep the pre-existing v4 /32 blocks day 1, and the rest follows. Edi…

Not so. IPv4->6 removes all existing v4 address blocks and redoes the addressing scheme. Those changes weren't necessary for expanding the address space. This implies that day 1 of…

IMO the separate-stack nature of ipv6 was a mistake. I can see why they did it, but the changes could've been a lot more incremental otherwise, and we might've been done already. E…

Seems clear that he considers Rust a good thing. And if he hasn't gone back on his C++ opinions, that would suggest he likes Rust way more than C++, right?

I know how to compile and link C. I've never done C JS FFI but could probably figure it out. But if I have relatively small C code in single files, why bother? I'll take the easy r…

Not Android

If they want to be for-profit because that's how they get the investment to build GPT-4, fine, do it from the start. That doesn't justify the switch.
