I felt that the last sentence tag indicated the author was thinking of gender-fluid people as abstractions rather than actual human beings; hence the verify whether they were snarking from experience or just spreading negative stereotypes they have no experience with.

I can understand the former; the latter corrodes discourse.

And for what it's worth: we're smart people with the ability to attend to the rules of string coercion in JavaScript; we can treat humans as humans and use the words they prefer to use to describe themselves. It's not actually that hard; certainly not as hard as all this cognitive load for JavaScript quirks. ;)

I agree the pragmatic approach is to research which devices are unlockable, as well as unlock them when you're still well within the return window.

But the general problem isn't whether it is possible for someone to buy an unlocked phone, but rather that it is possible to "buy" a phone and have it turn out to be non-unlockable. The general case is important so that users who run up against manufacturer shenanigans can straightforwardly route around them, and also simply preventing the pileup of more unusable planned obsolescence ewaste.
> And I'm sick of furniture that's made of wood-chips.

Yeah, I learned woodworking partially because I wanted furniture I knew wasn't made from crap. It's a fun hobby that lets me step away from the computer.

Nevermind all the chemicals they use in some of this stuff. We bought a dresser and it smelled so bad we had to leave it in the garage for half a year before we used it indoors.
> But working alone is critically important for all the pieces of the development process that aren't technical

I would actually argue the opposite. Work with someone more experienced on the non-technical parts and do the technical alone.

Finding online resources for technical problems is easier in my opinion. But for non-technical you're probably going to need domain knowledge or just plain experience to complete and getting those are so much simpler when seeing examples of it from others
This is just mistaking correlation for causation, as if you had seen Romans conquering the Mediterranean world while making heavy use of augury by reading entrails and decided that the way to emulate them was to read entrails, not to have the best infantry, and the most infantry.
Ask HN: Best practices securing Linux (arch) on a x1 extreme gen 2?
Finally got it delivered!

It’s been a while since I dig into a personal use case for Linux. I’m opting for arch. I searched relentlessly and I don’t see recommended best practices that have convergence outside the basic root user 101.

I’m looking for:

1. Ext4 fs still the best with ssd and nvme?
2. Good bang for buck disk encryption solution?
3. Way to utilize TPM for automatic key management and possible disk encryption?
4. Fingerprint reader use case?

Those are the biggest unknowns for me while digging all the wiki docs and blogs around right now.

Also if you have a must have I’d love to hear it!

Thanks ahead of time.

I see this all the time when folks at work are trying to "fit in" and project the right signals up-ladder. They entertain ideas that if put forward by a peer would be ruthlessly ridiculed.

Do I believe what are absurd? I've already had enough equivocation for one thread, please be specific when you post.

I looked at the first two lists of gender identities my search returned and there were plenty of absurd categories (like Maverique and Novigender). In addition, the idea that public policy and law should revolve around people choosing their identities on a day to day basis is, I believe, unworkable, if not absurd. The idea that people may be compelled by law to be forced to use language set by others is not absurd, it's horrifying.

I think this could be a good moment for us to pause our consumption a bit, and think about buying only what we really need. Not just because of the tariffs but as a signal that we as consumers can pull back when necessary.
Hmmm...well unfortunately a lot of scammers and thieves on the internet come out of third world countries. Like, it's crazy, but the economics of scam artistry make this worth while as a career in certain countries - for example Romania (https://abcnews.go.com/International/journey-hackerville-rom...).

So, websites are protecting themselves as best they can while pissing off the fewest of their customers by putting up more security measures blocked by country IP.

The real issue is the authoritarian governments that are making it so countries (like China) are completely fire-walled off from the internet.

Have you heard that Iraq is having massive street protests at the moment? If not, it might be because the government cut off internet access so a lot of the stories and media about the protests are not making it onto the social media sites. That's scary.
That's one reason why I never go for base models or cheap luxury cars. The 2.0T is a notoriously bad engine, I would have gotten the A4 but wanted the reliability of the 3.0T V6 and so far, I've gotten it.

I don't know what's so unique about my connection, but I, too, receive these capchas on a daily basis, on the very same sites.

I'd rather they track me, by IP address and/or cookies, and stop this non-sense. I accept the cookies and have a static and dedicated IP, but there's never an end to Cloudflare's captchas.

Yes, I suppose that's true. I should have worded it differently.

Perhaps, the average person would be more upset/notice if they were negatively impacted as the result of a security issue, than if some feature, e.g. real time audio were missing, which I'm sure no one would even notice.

Speaking of drills, I bought my Makita CX200RB drill set partly because it was manufactured in Japan.

[2016].

Cloudflare's been working on improvements to the CAPTCHA system for Tor users (https://www.zdnet.com/article/cloudflare-ends-captcha-challe...), maybe some of those have benefited foreign countries as well. And CloudFlare does do country-level blacklists (which show up as the CAPTCHA behavior described) so maybe StackExchange had/has an overaggressive firewall.
OP lives in Southeast Asia and suggests website owners choose a different CDN and fails to propose an alternative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There are two complaints,

(1) cloudflare requires a captcha for visitors from some regions (like SouthEast Asia)

(2) cloudflare does not have enough nodes in SouthEast Asia, and OP feels being rerouted to another node defeats the purpose of a CDN.

Yet, Cloudflare does (1) because they often see attacks from those regions. I'm not sure blaming Cloudflare for this is the right strategy. Regarding (2), CDNs do not just benefit users, they benefit the website too. Getting rid of the CDN is not a solution. Is there a better free CDN for that region? Is multi-CDN easy to setup?
Is the situation improved by using the Privacy Pass add-on [1] from Cloudflare?

Supposedly:

>Privacy Pass is a Chrome/Firefox browser extension to make browsing Cloudflare-protected websites a better experience for users. In particular, if a user IP address is designated to have a poor reputation then the user may have to solve a Cloudflare CAPTCHA page before they can gain access to such websites. Privacy Pass uses elliptic curve cryptography to generate 'anonymous' tokens after a single CAPTCHA page is solved. These tokens can be used in future engagements with Cloudflare websites to prevent having to solve more CAPTCHAs. The extension generates 30 tokens for each CAPTCHA solution and thus can be used to reduce CAPTCHA pages for each user by a similar factor.

> 1. First Very Deep NNs -> This is false. Schmidhuber did not create the first deep network in 1991. This dates back at least to Fukushima for the theory and LeCun in 1989 practically.

Quoting the blog post:

"Of course, Deep Learning in feedforward NNs started much earlier, with Ivakhnenko & Lapa, who published the first general, working learning algorithms for deep multilayer perceptrons with arbitrarily many layers back in 1965 [DEEP1]. For example, Ivakhnenko's paper from 1971 [DEEP2] already described a Deep Learning net with 8 layers, trained by a highly cited method still popular in the new millennium [DL2]."

Let's try to be fair and objective here. You may have an axe to grind with Schmidhuber, but that does not give you the right to take things out of context.
They all do for fire safety.

Why do you suppose that is.
This.

I route all my traffic via mmy own vpn server at Hetzner for privacy and security reasons and this Cloudflare bullshit is infuriating at times.

Besides I guess 95% sites that use their free tier either don't actually need it or would be better off without it.
The example on the first screen could use some work. Both the color and the word are “Green” so it’s hard to determine if the correct answe is green because that’s the color of the text or that’s what the word is.
Not to mention, CloudFlare has become synonymous with hosting and protecting the worst websites on the internet, with currently only two exceptions made, seemingly at the CEO's whim.

CloudFlare protects websites dedicated to doxing, stalking and harassing their victims. And when their victims complain, CloudFlare forwards all their personal information directly to said website owners while doing nothing about it. Websites that host content like the Christchurch massacre video and manifesto. Websites that have bullied people to the point of suicide.

I'm all for the importance of freedom of speech and being able to say offensive things on the internet, but CloudFlare is protecting sites that flagrantly violate the law.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

When I try to solve a problem I generally see the output needed and construct code to get the pattern with a lot of trail and error. I am not sure if I can scale with this. If I am fresh and in flow I can come up with good solutions. If not and I am nervous then I will have trouble solving something as simple as fibonacci.

I sometimes have trouble doing pattern matching where I get confused if the problem is changed slightly and is made tricky. I think this is because I am trying to be too specific with the match and not seeing a generic picture.

Can you suggest how a person with a job can practice so thoroughly? 8 hour sessions everyday is tough maybe on weekends but still is sometimes difficult.
Amazingly shrewd strategic play by Trump, IMO. In one fell swoop he created additional direct leverage in negotiations, and also created indirect leverage by making a free trade deal between China and Canada politically impossible, putting more pressure on China, and denying it access to the broader North American market. Canada didn't see this for what it is because it's currently run by a drama teacher.
> Getting rid of the CDN is not a solution.

Why not? The whole everyone-needs-Cloudflare is a made up problem, which depends on many false narratives.

And why do we as website visitors have never heard of Akamai, yet it's hard to find anyone who's never seen these captchas from Cloudflare and Incapsula?

Maybe a silly question but it seems these big high ticket businesses like Boeing and Airbus cannot provide affordable aircraft and survive without some government intervention and the bar to entry is too high for new players so why not come to some international agreement on how they are supported by government instead?

It's seems better to have 2 manufacturers supported by government than to have only 1 that essentially owns the whole market.

> No it's about money and who gets it.

You’re overlooking many points.

Firstly, it’s not just a question of management vs labour. Capital needs to be compensated, or no-one will provide it.

Secondly, not all labour is equal. With increasing automation, some labour will become more productive, and more highly compensated. Other labour will become obsolete. The total size of labour compensation could go either way.

The size of the cake is not fixed. Greater efficiencies could lead to greater margins, greater sales and more for some, or more for all. Or it could simply lead to the same product being delivered more cheaply (and at this point, the world needs more efficient transportation, it doesn’t need even more cars).

No-one, not management, not the investors, not the labour force is entitled to a particular stake in the future by virtue of the status quo. If personal automobiles were magicked out of existence by some revolutionary new device, I’d say good riddance.
Not to mention that it's not just a matter of filling some random words anymore but more like a "neverending" cycle of identifying buses and traffic lights which can last 5+ minutes. I must have identified more buses for Google than I've actually seen irl :(

Is this a question of whether some law is on the books or is it a combination of regulation and enforcement?

For example, there are regulations in most states about ebikes, their motor capability and whether they have throttle.

But these are also very regularly entirely unenforced (nyc not withstanding)

It seems often interesting phenomena may have _some_ regulation but it is not remotely enforced. In my mind this meets the threshold of cool unregulated stuff.
It’s “telling” of what exactly?

Linux distributions make up the majority of public web and database servers and approximately none of the real-time audio players, is that not a “particular reason” to prioritise security over real-time audio?
Drops demand for same items, hurting the producers and the countries they're based in, while maybe also diverting consumer money to domestic alternatives (or at least other countries that aren't quite so tariff'd). Right?

It would be easiest to call anyone who looks like a woman (or has put effort into trying to look like a woman) a woman, anyone who looks like a man (or has put effort into trying to look like a man) a man, and avoid using any pronouns at all if you're not sure. I'm convinced this is what most people naturally do anyway.

CF is a free service. Websites can choose to use it or not, and it certainly does not dictate the nature of the internet.
