Good 6 minute video explainer: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yDoRYRRPOA0

I'm actually surprised they are still around...

Exactly: at its core a moka is just a casted aluminium blob. Good luck breaking that one.

Replaceable parts are a few euros.

Italian born and raised, but moved around in various contries.

I own a handful of Bialetti mokas of different sizes. A couple of those are from my teenager years, I don't even remember buying them, they might have been from my parents. I still use them multiple times daily.

Mokas are for life. As long as you replace the plastic gasket once in a while (a couple bucks) and you don't accidentally melt the handle (which you can replace anyway) they'll outlive all of us.

Friends up in a forgotten corner of the Western Highlands turned one into a passive fibre termination box. Pics:

Yes, if you look closely at their shell you'll see they are calling some `python3` command to get/push/(?) stuff into that PR.

This. I never have to take it off. Battery lasts forever, lightweight, thin, accurate (despite it lacks radio synch), extremely cheap.

Milan is planning the same: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/21/milan-seeks-to...

Indeed, it sounds something that should have been part of their now-famous SRE book :)

Is it breaking any obvious NDA or can you share it?

Can you talk about the details of Argo, in a blogpost or elsewhere?

I'm referring to the routing logic and optimisation algos.

Asked already several times in the past. I'm very curious as I've worked a lot on those specific issues. Thanks.

Seriously, how on earth is this the news #1 of the frontpage of HN? Isn't this community supposed to know better?

Before clicking I thought "I bet they do stacked LSTM to predict the _next_ time step" :|

Just watched it. Thanks, it was indeed a great talk, and indeed a lot of tooling.

Do you have any extra writeup to suggest?

How is this story on the first page? Frankly there are so many good resources to approach DL-based computer vision, that this looks such a random blogpost in comparison. I must be missing something.

Yes. That's why I uninstalled and switched to Zotero. The import tool worked great, btw.

I had contacted the first author in March and the answer was that "our source code is currently not available because of a pending patent application".

Not really, see slide 4 of Geoff Huston's talk at RIPE76:

It is actually growing slower and slower and looking as a logistic curve, which is perhaps unsurprising. Also note the increasing gap between weekdays and weekends, which is a sign that enterprises don't care about v6.

Enterprises are doing the right thing, ignoring v6. No advantage whatsoever for a long time to come, only added complexity and training.

As a network engineer and enthusiast, I would do the same.

Found your tweets weeks ago by accident and started following you.

Man, you must start giving nerd standup comedy talks at CCC/RIPE/ARIN/etc!!

This talk will be presented on Thursday 17th at RIPE76.

I assume that as usual, it will be streamed live and the video recording should appear here: https://ripe76.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/ipv6-wg/

This upcoming RIPE meeting has so many interesting talks... I invite you to "invest" some time going through the program (not all slides are available yet, as it starts tomorrow)!

Indeed: the Centriq announcement was maybe 6 months ago.

What does this mean in practice?

I don't think straight hilbert curves:IP ranges are the best mapping,

It is a good idea, as IP ranges are a simple (discrete) linear range.

However, maybe this is not the best explanation:

The problem with displaying IP addresses, is that they are a single dimensional, they only move up and down, however humans are not good at looking at a large amount of single dimensional points.

But rather: Hilbert curves are great because it ensures that every two consecutive points are contiguous in space (i.e., no gaps).

Again, it's probably _not_ Virgin's fault or responsibility. Capacity planning is handled by Google directly.

Also, I think that virtually every ISP with more than a few tens of thousands users is hosting a GGC instance nowadays (and a Netflix OpenCache, etc. etc.).

Nowadays, the vast majority of the transit&peering of ISPs is not going to the Internet, but to a few racks of local caching servers managed by OTT operators.

Bandwidth-wise, at least in prime time, the Internet is much less connected/realtime than people think :)

It is common for ISP to host instances of the Google Global Cache (GGC, see https://peering.google.com/) which are used for many Google services, most importantly YouTube.

In fact, in many cases Google itself "suggests" to ISP that they host a few GGC servers.

They are directly monitored by Google, and the ISP has basically no say in how they are run. Capacity is managed by Google directly.

Naive question from a semi-beginner about your market: isn't there already a lot of competition for hyperlocal forecast and good accessible visualizations (e.g., darksky)?

This is _literally_ a cloud service :)

Bad joke aside: I'm curious, what is the "business" need and market/end-users?

Congrats and good luck Milan and Josh.

That was a wrong decision: rather than imposing a small fee, they should have banned the sale of non-biodegradable bags altogether.

Italy is doing so since 2011, and it seems to be working just fine.

Just added an extra line to the bash wrapper to print how many time the given password appears in the dump:

I had no idea the button wasn't even a button

I too "pressed" those buttons hundred of times. Never I would have imagined that they are just a piece of plastic with a motion sensor pointed on.

In my career I’ve met quite a few network engineers who don’t think sufficiently outside the box. They typically say “this is how it’s done, this is how it works.”

Completely agree, it is my experience as well. I believe this is because, at last historically, very few network engineers are interested in software.

This is slowly changing, but it will take "a generation".
