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.

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".

New comment by mino in "Blockers to IPv6 Adoption"

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

https://ripe76.ripe.net/wp-content/uploads/presentations/9-2...

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.

mino — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:54:50 +0000

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.
