Roughly 1/3rd of Google's traffic is coming over IPV6 now; almost 50% in the US and some European countries and nearly 60% in India.
By any reasonable metric that's mainstream use to me. Is Garner thinking about IPv6 only networking, or widespread IPv6 usage in private networks that aren't so big they don't fit in the 10.* private address subnet (Comcast was one of the earliest widespread adopters of IPv6 because it let them run their internal networks without the overhead of carrier grade nat/etc); or are they not thinking at all.

A question like "Are there any questions left we can answer?" is both an offer from your interviewer and an indicator for them. It's not the one about the manhole cover
|
|
|
|
|
Saying "yes", implies the interviewer not competent enough to anticipate the question. I know I prepare and anticipate; interviews aren't a daily thing for me, only for the interviewer.
To kill the secret, there's not always a good answer, they sometimes ask a question to see your reaction.
So, the answer to any questions left, is "why don't you pay more?"

I was surprised at the depth of psychological insight displayed in this essay: so surprised I wondered if the person shown in the photograph actually wrote it. His resume left me wondering, also.
This observation may well be an indictment of myself for ageism. look-ism, etc.  If so, mea culpa.
But, perhaps I am influenced by many experiences with expats in Asia who have invented elaborate, grandiose, life-stories ?
One insight I felt was missing was that the interviewee's response should take into account the in vivo dynamic of the interaction, the voice tone, gestures, eye contact. If the interviewer seems rushed, or indifferent, when they ask for your concerns, that may be a warning sign for you to at least acknowledge, or, respond to by a gracious exit.
Here, in Asia, "face" may come into play: a different set of rules-of-the-road.

For 50 years, mathematicians have believed that the total number of real numbers is unknowable. A new proof suggests otherwise. 1, 2, 3... (The rest is up to the reader.)
I know it's my own shallow bias showing, but every time I feel like I'm wasting my life, I read about pure mathematicians to feel more useful.

Discovering that there may be a limit to the number of numbers is quite intriguing. It (literally) puts a cap on the universe, albeit a big one that I am personally unlikely to encounter.
Unless I can provoke a buffer overflow somehow.
It reminds me of some information I read about the smallest possible units of size and time. It would seem that there are limits to how small something can physically be and how small a 'tick' of time can exist. Once one reaches that tiny scale, time ceases to be a seemingly smooth transition process of now-to-next and becomes literal ticks; there is no in between.
This is thought-provoking, or at least I found it so. It also lends weight to the theory that we are in a simulation. Afterall, a simulation would need such an abstraction to be manageable.
By extension it also begs the question about what is 'real'.

The limit is still infinite; it's just a question of which flavour of "infinite".

Hmmm,
You guys are thinking waaaaaay too deep into this. If the paper is correct... the implications the paper[^] is really about boolean models[^] of first-order logic[^] and how we can make statements about something being true or false.
It's Metamathematics[^]. It probably doesn't say anything about the physical world but might say something about provability/logic.

A debate over the number of "infinities". There's esoteric mathematics, but this takes it to a whole other level.

Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, SQL and Go are on the rise, according to the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem report. But one programming language still leads the pack. And by 'popular', they definitely don't mean 'loved'

I doubt that prefer accurately reflects the wording of the survey's question.

Pretty much with you on C++. But in the 1980s, it was a strategic advantage for a major competitor to be developing in C while we were using a proprietary language that was far superior.
