That first sentence is hard to grok.

My ISP in a small rural town supported IPv6. I have a few personal projects that only have a public v6 address because I don't want to pay AWS for an v4 address.

It worked fine for a year and a half after I moved in, then they did some work and suddenly no IPv6. At least I could enable 6to4 on my router, but that has intermittent issues.

As someone who wishes IPv4 would just die, I wish I had options to push back on such nuisances.

It doesn't make sense that you would lose more weight by sleeping only considering metabolism.

I can see an argument around sleeping always being a net loss, since you're never consuming food while sleeping. Sleeping more thus means you may eat less.

Doesn't the CO2 get exhaled during activity rather than sleep?

The first job I had as a software engineer was at a trucking company that had a desktop Swing application. If an exception happened, the user would get a pop-up with buttons to email support the stack trace or cancel. The email went to all the IT staff and someone would usually reply within an hour, often with a fix.

The engineering work was atrocious looking back. I probably fixed 50 random NullPointerExceptions in my 3 years there this way. But, it was one of the most productive places I've worked at because everything was done simple and there were no barriers between users and developers.

I was wondering what kind of bird was chirping outside my window this morning. I should have had this app.

Nice site, slick. Not sure what use the data has to me, but I don't make posts, so that's my fault.

It would be nice if the chart would move down or something when you select a post that's lower in the rankings. I had to scroll back to the top after clicking one of the bottom posts.

I wasn't criticizing the choice of word, apologies.

I'm interested if anyone has an idea of what it would mean for an AI to generate or do something "novel" in the sense of creatively new.

I think of the word as a mixture of complaining and sympathizing.

I would consider it commiseration if one were to complain to their coworkers about an HR policy in the hopes of receiving sympathy or agreement about the problems with the policy.

Are there any well-thought treatises on what "novel" means?

These days I occasionally run into an app with no words and abstract symbols. I have to guess which one does what I want.

I mess up 50% of the time when I want to open the Google Maps app. I tap the M icon, but that's for Gmail.

Regarding the customer, who knows? Unless they reply to you, you're guessing. It could be a legitimate case of a stolen card or they could deliberately trying use your service without paying. In this case, it sounds like you should indefinitely disable that user unless they explain.

Regarding the bank, I assume they will almost always side with the customer, lest they lose their business. There's no nuance, they aren't going to spend much time understanding your logs because there's no upside for them.

Regarding Stripe, I assume they are mostly passing along costs.

Given your chargeback rate, I don't see why you should lose any sleep over this, it's a cost of doing business.

I wish I had followed this advice when I was first a tech lead a few years ago. I wasn't a manager per say, but I had two junior engineers. We had way too much to do in too little time. I explained how the PM had messed up the project plan. I figured I was just letting them know what was going on, but it just brought the mood down.

I think it's ideal that some level of commiseration happens, so people can try to find ways to fix problems that can be fixed or accept that they can't. It really depends on the people, relationship, and culture. Some people aren't willing to do anything for anyone else. Some cultures discourage trying to fix anything.
