The UK had a similar problem where they let people under 18 get these surgeries and now they have cases of people suing the government because they regret the choices the government/parents allowed them to make before they were 18. It's pretty well-researched and understood peoples brains are not fully developed before 18, often not even in the early 20's. We already know you are not good at long-term decision making when young and not good at fully understanding long term consequences of actions.

There are reasons why criminals under 18 are often treated much differently in the legal system and why that criminal history before 18 often doesn't extend past 18. We know kids do dumb shit and that's why there are legal protections in place for it.

So it's insane to me how the government has tried to silence a parent for speaking out and has basically forced him to allow a child to do something like this and he gets no say. It's insane both how he is being silenced and how this is even happening in the first place. So I agree with this case being extremely relevant to the topic of website blocking. Because who is to say once a law like this in in place it doesn't start to get extended to infringing on other kinds of free speech and things the government doesn't like?

From my understanding our free speech laws already are not as strong as America and I think we should all be opposed to anything that starts to breech what we do have, like these new laws.

Are there any USB 4 Ryzen laptops ? If there are it must be a very recent thing.

What's wrong with HTML+CSS as a rendering primitive? It's quite successful in decoupling semantics from presentation, which is a requirement for a platform that's as widespread and universal as the modern web. JS is a bit crufty, but you don't have to deal with it. You could write everything in some other source language and compile down to JS/WASM. (Even low-level languages like C/C++/D/Rust can support this via Emscripten.)

I know Rust much better than Zig. I found that one difference between the two is Zig default behavior on mem alloc: it can fail.

All code alloc'ing mem needs to deal with this potential failing: the dev can choose to "panic/die/exit/etc" or possibly a different strategy can be chosen (display smth in the UI, not allocating memory, etc).

Rust has this "nicely return a Result, instead of exceptions/panics/etc", in most cases, but not in the case of mem alloc. That a big difference between Zig an Rust.

Now Rust has alternative methods for mem alloc that return a Result: but these are not the default and thus hard to discover. This is "unsafe behavior by default" in Rust. This is special, as Rust usually promotes the safe path.

Ok maybe I should have said my description is the ideal scenario in the eyes of SPAC creators. Obviously not every one will have a 4x price surge, and not every one will completely tank. There's a reason why they try to attach celebrities or well known businesspeople...purely to build hype. If you (and the creators of the SPACs) agree they're destined for poor performance, how is it not a big scam?

It's kind of like around the time of the Dutch East India Company when tons of bogus companies popped up and publicly sold shares that completely tanked shortly after (e.g. a company claiming it invented a perpetual motion wheel machine, etc).

I'm referencing tickers such as APPH, NKLA, HYLN, THCB, LACQ. I'd wager a bet that most of the early investors for these examples are already cashed out at a significant profit knowing they would tank shortly after they did.
I agree.

When I first started hearing about them a few months ago (oddly enough because I was listening to one of Jason Calacanis’s shows with Chamath) they sounded off. Had also just recently rewatched The Big Short.

Back in 2006-ish an old boss at the time was doing some hinky shit with penny stocks. First time I had ever heard about them back then.

After doing some research to learn about SPACs, the whole concept is incredibly scammy. It’s all just a weird mutated combo of penny stocks and the crap being pulled in 2007. I know, that’s not an exact true definition. I’m trying to make a generalization.
I don't like what they handled interaction with the AppGet dev either, and can't understand why they can't seem to get a great solution working, but I would argue it's not 3E approach. In this case it would actually benefit them if AppGet stayed alive because it serves their users and doesn't present any danger to them whatsoever. I assume that they simply decided internally (for whatever reason) not to acqui-hire the AppGet author and then rolled out their own.

How they managed to do a bad job with so many awesome examples is however beyond me.
This is a good article!

For me, the best way is just to start writing it. I've written a book about a Java library last year named "Practical Vavr" [1], I had the idea since some weeks/months and with the COVID situation having time at home, just told to myself now is the time.

Didn't thought a lot about anything, except for how the book should be laid out, I thought the process was interesting so I went full on it, discovered leanpub and other websites that makes the process easy as just writing some Markdown.

I think that the hardest thing is the marketing around the book, how to tell the world you wrote it and why they should be interested in reading it (and buying it). I just posted it here and there on the web (reddit, twitter mainly), didn't made a lot of fuss about it, I don't know how anyway.

In the end it was more about the experience of writing one and finishing it, than making big money (even if I was able to reach almost 100 people totally unknown people who were kind enough to trust that the content would be good and buy it).

If you do not need GA why use it? It is a separate connection your visitors browser needs to open and it is a connection to a third party. If you want analytics, there are some privacy options, for example Umami. See also here: https://github.com/0xnr/awesome-analytics

You could also disable the Nginx logs from logging IP addresses and then you should be fine.

Maybe adding a simple site saying that you do not retain any IPs or other information, you can prevent these emails in the future.

The first and most important skill needed for the internet to be a net gain for a persons understanding is the ability to quickly develop and modify heuristics to filter out bad data. Filtering good data is fine, the truth repeats itself in many formulations, but believing bad data or even spending too long noticing it is bad and you are worse off than just using a library and books.
My early web dev experience was mostly just figuring out where the hell config and log files for apache, php and mysql were. If the docs told you the default location of the config file, you could be sure that on your distro they are somewhere completely different.

Can't tell if you're talking about front-end or back-end here; I've certainly seen both.

> For some reason, cream of the crop CS graduates usually veer towards [back-end]

Setting aside the implication that getting good grades in computer science is the same as being good at creating business value with software, I see two reasons:

1. academic inertia: old professors teach what they know (e.g. lisp) regardless of how useful it is in the industry. I bet a rockstar professor who loved front-end/UX would find the cream of their crop biased toward front-end work.

2. this very bias you're perpetuating: where a bright student looks into the world, sees front-end work derided, and so steers clear of it (and maybe even starts parroting this bias of those they respect, as youngsters so often do).

I don't know what the solution is, but it's definitely not whining. 0:)
True. But not anywhere near as bad as in a western country. You don't see Xi Jinping being eviscerated in Chinese media, or being forced to testify in front of congress. Also telcos dont really care, and will continue to buy Huawei equipment if prices are low enough, unless governments outright ban them from doing so.

I think Huawei, would have experienced almost the same blowback even if they didn't have any backdoor. Western intelligence experts, would have advised against using Huawei without any evidence of backdoors, simply because they know they would have put in backdoors if they where in the position of china, and they assume the Chinese aren't incompetent.

The blow back also serves a political purposes for everyone around. Western politicians/military gets to say "We need to protect ourselves against scary China!". And China's propaganda machine gets to say "Look at the terrible racist west treating us unfairly, by accusing us of bad things without evidence!".

It's incredible that Amazon was able to build such a moat in the early days. Logically, you'd think that somebody like Sears (which became a huge company in the first place by offering the convenience of shopping from home!) would have made a big early investment in online shopping and become gigantic.

> The motherboard is also their custom chipset

It's a custom motherboard but not a custom chipset. The chipset comes from AMD.

> I'd also be keen to swap the Ryzen 3700 for the newer series chip .. but have no clue whether that is possible on that motherboard

If the chipset is A520, B550 or X570, you have Ryzen 5000 / Zen 3 support, though it probably requires a BIOS update. You might also have Zen 3 support on B450, B550A, X470 [0]. Check the BIOS release notes for your machine.

> I made the mistake of not getting the system watercooled

Most water cooled systems only water cool the CPU, which in your case (a 65W TDP CPU) is absurd. Good air coolers match the performance of twice as expensive AIOs [1] and have far less potential for breakage.

> Also, can I say AMDs numbering makes no sense to me personally.

The first digit is the generation. 1000 series -> Zen 1 architecture, 2000 series -> Zen+, 3000 series -> Zen 2, 5000 series -> zen 3.
The higher the number after that, the better the CPU is within the generation (more cores/cache, higher frequency).

This is the my experience as well. For an activist website that I maintain I just use a PHP script to install everything and to ensure that everything has proper permissions. The site uses Wordpress and patching config files in PHP is simpler than in bash. I am glad that I have not bothered with Ansible, as I would most likely ended up with YAML programming which is way worse than bash.

If anybody is interested in exploring this line in a virtual 3D environment, there is a standalone simulator game for the U7 line that was released by TML-Studios 10-ish years ago, and it's available on steam:

You can drive the entire line in the game and get out and walk around each station in a first person view. IIRC the individual architectural details of each stop are pretty well modelled, and keeping the train on schedule and stopping at the right stop at each platform is a fun challenge.

Initial access is part of the day-to-day these days.

you can't cover all entry points, it's a matter of time for someone to make a mistake. the fact that the adversary showed these extreme levels of proficiency and dedication tells me that the vast majority of companies would have fallen for that. In fact, the backdoor was running for months on targets like Microsoft, gov agencies, security companies like Malwarebytes.

These companies know a thing or two about security.

Today we work with "assume breach" mentality that assumes you are already compromised.
Thanks for your comments. Those are really valid and good points. We will consider those in further development. Can you please also provide your recommendations on how can we assist in solving that issue.
when i evaluated ansible and saltstack a few years ago, i went with saltstack because the ansible example felt much more like programming in yaml, while the salt example was much more declarative.

Exactly! One aspect to remember is that once you have a self—replicating mechanism, by the nature of it, the replicating parts are becoming more widespread. In other words, small effects with larg, self—reinforcing consequences.

This is not the impression of many review sites – a lot of the premium Ryzen laptop offerings from certain OEMs (not the big ones) like Asus and others out of Asia are amongst the top performers and have excellent features.

The issue at hand is that other, bigger OEMs are not putting AMD hardware into their best designs and thus yielding less than stellar performance or features. There are still cases of high-end Ryzen mobile CPUs being put into single-channel configurations!
I love this kind of silly/fun stuff. Thanks for sharing your project with us, it's great.

Hi folks,

ControlD is similar to NextDNS in many ways, but has a distinctive difference - it hooks into a network of transparent proxy servers and allows not just blocking, but also unblocking of all kinds of geo-restricted content. We're also working on global ECH support, which we hope to release in a month or 2. This will effectively make it a "light VPN", for HTTP traffic, provided you use a browser that supports ECH.

We entered open beta 2 days ago, after being in closed beta for about 5 months with ~2000 users.

Would appreciate any feedback you can provide. Thanks!

They will charge what they can. If they aren't happy with the return, they can sell the house and invest the money in DOGE or whatever, that means more houses for people to buy, higher supply leads to lower prices, which is good (with very limited exceptions - mainly of those in negative equity looking to move or remortgage)
