4*8 = 24

TIL ;)

Each /8 is 1/256th of all IPv4 addresses, not counting reserved/illegal addresses. Not sure where 1/1000 is coming from...

Maybe not a service in the typical sense, but setting up your router+server to route your home network traffic through a VPN is a fun project.

My router (MikroTik) supports WireGuard, so I can use it with Mullvad for the whole house---but wg is demanding and it's a slow router, so while it can NAT at ~1Gbps, it can't do WireGuard at more than ~90Mbps. So, I set up WireGuard/Mullvad on a little SBC with a fast processor, and have my router use that instead. Using policy based routing and/or mangling, I can have different VLANs/subnets/individual hosts selectively routed through the VPN.

It's a fun exercise, not sure I implemented it in a smart way, but it works :)

It doesn't change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.

grep -rIi "John.*Cena" dir/

I have this sort of thing aliased, with some added --include flags to filter file type (e.g., only match source/script files). Super useful!

If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.

Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)---it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.

A professional degree is historically different from an academic degree though. Math, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science---these typically produce (well compensated!) professionals, but they are not professional schools.

I am professional; I get paid to do the kinds of things that I did in grad school. But afaik no one would say I hold a professional degree.

All of this is besides the point of course---our student loan system shouldn't disqualify people based on these sorts of semantics.

I was interpreting the quoted text as encompassing all engineering fields, e.g., EE, mechanical, computer, etc.

If that's not the case and this is for specific professional engineering degrees then yep, I certainly agree with you.

In a VHCOL area, $100k with one child is extremely tough/you're likely dipping into savings. Our daycare alone is over $40k/yr per kid, and only $5k ($7500 next year) is fully tax exempt.

Median 2 bedroom in my area is over $50k/yr.

$100k doesn't cut it. "Just move to a cheaper area" is IMHO not a proper response to this---anyone who works in my city should be able to afford to raise a family here, with a high quality of life/standard of living, but that's not really the case.
