That's a nice fanless Ryzen Embedded. Does the BIOS receive security updates?

ASRock has a Ryzen Embedded NUC, but with Realtek NICs, questionable BIOS and not much of a focus on Linux/BSD.

HP t740 thin client with Ryzen Embedded is closer to Mac Mini size, with PCIe slot for low-profile NIC.
Should be able to no problem, though if you just want a router appliance OPNSense is similar to PfSense in that it also forked off of Monowall. PfSense appliances by Netgate are very common to see in datacenter racks hosting Amazon, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure equipment, though OPNSense is starting to show up as well.

Very curious on how exactly you go about rolling back the odometer.
I have used hackerrank/leetcode previously just sporadically to learn a new programming language. I used it for the first time to help me get another job earlier in the year.

However, I have continued to solve 1 problem a night because what I realised is after 15+ years in the industry, I don't have a good grasp of some concepts anymore.

I'm slowly getting better at identify types of problems and apply what could be the most efficient data structure/algorithm in solving the problem. Once I solve the problem I go have a look at the solutions to see a more efficient way of solving it and try to store it away in my memory banks for another day.

The thing I don't like is when interviewer asks follow ups such as "Can you do the same solution but using O(1) space complexity". Unless the job has a restriction on running on limited hardware resources. I feel like it's unjustified asking such follow up questions because most of the time that is a very specific solution for the problem - or maybe I'm just not good enough to come up with such a solution yet.

I may be even more wrong, but maybe this leads to a more modular way of building/laying these "cables".

I imagine that you need less of them, because "faster" also means longer range until attenuation kicks in. How much more range/less amplifiers compared to current state of the art I don't know. I'd think it should be possible to lay down a new part the whole length between two amplifiers/laser pumps/couplings/ and "plug" it in by remote controlled submersibles, instead of lifting up the broken ends, and "splicing" it on the ship. Like pre-made Cat-5/7 with RJ-45 plugs, so to speak :-)

> Lincoln, then, decided he should call on the remaining states to build one of the largest armies assembled by the federal goverment to forcibly take back south carolina. This extereme overreaction to the situation is the well known historical reason why the rest of the states promptly left the union in its fear of the clear millitary power grab that was occuring before their eyes.

Interesting claim, but it doesn't hold up. The battle of Ft. Sumpter started in April 1861. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas had already seceded. Only Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee waited until after the battle.

> Did he use trade embargoes like a peace seeking consolidator would?

He wasn't looking to be a piece seeking consolidator, he was looking to put down a revolt. You're welcome to make the argument that actually it would have been better realpolitik to appease the southern states. In fact, I'd love to see that argument!
Often when there are two (or more) very good tools for a single task (e.g. editing text) there breaks out a Holy War, rather than people being happy for each other to use their preferred, each excellent in their own way, option. Seems to me this is what the parent comment is nodding to.

A question I’ve had to ask myself many times.
I'm 40 myself and I find that a lot of the issues with online dating is that pretty much all apps lead with your age. the other thing I've found is that I have SO much more luck in person meeting new people also finding people based on shared interst is pretty much required now, as generalized socializing almost doesnt happen.

for me it's been boardgaming, polyamory meetups mainly... and volunteering to teach things.

it's a muscle, socializing, it's something that improves with use (but also gets exhausted with overuse)

These scans aren't magic. Most of the time you need a "contrast agent" to find things.

That means an injection (and attendant infection risk) and circulation of a strange substance in your body. In the case of Gadolinium, there's about a 1 in 1000 reaction risk. So, you don't want to go injecting that into people without a good reason.

I'm writing PhotoStructure, specifically to deal with my last 20+ years of photos, and the fact that I haven't stayed on top of keeping them all organized. The disarray was made (much) worse by my bad luck in picking cloud photo services (most of them which have shut down, or, like Google Photos, left me with a "takeout" that was down-sampled or with metadata loss).

Sure, if "wanting someone half your age who's far more attractive" outweighs your desire to not be alone, you're out of luck. But "I'm vain and want a trophy" is a different problem than aging alone.

You’re missing the point. It’s one and the same. Slaves were valuable economic assets whose value was diminishing as industrialization intensified.

The slavers wanted to conquer the west with slaves to stay relevant. Slavery was about wealth and control, in losing control of poor white people. The northern industrialists wanted cotton. Abolitionists saw the moral disgrace of slavery as an evil. Lincoln was more moderate and prioritized the nation.

The “states rights” bullshit was always bullshit. But then “get shot to keep rich aristocrats rich” isn’t a compelling battle cry. Conversely, the poor Irish and others participating in draft riots saw abolition as competition from the one strata of society lower then them.

Hence, the noble abstract goals of “preserving the union” and “protection our sacred rights” are front and center.

> Do you think west virginians were less racist than the rest of virginians? Or do you think it was economic?

It was economic in the sense that slavery was not central to West Virginia's economy, but was central to not-West Virginia's economy. A map makes this pretty apparent[0]. The argument isn't that the was was about racism, but about slavery. Those are often related, but aren't precisely the same.

I have no clue what the name is, and it doesn't show up in search engines under obvious-to-me search terms.

With the FSA the south was pushing to force free states to kidnap individuals, something that was illegal to do. There's no constitutional provision for allowing kidnapping and enslaving individuals. In fact there are many rights that explicitly disallow that! The south crying about their inability to force free states to enslave people is an example of the hypocrisy of the modern argument that the south primarily fought over "states' rights" and not slavery, which is 100% bullshit. Read what the southern states said about their reasons for exiting the union: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/declarati...

The right they talk about? The right to own people. Slavery.

> That's not a "modern" argument

The southern states were concerned with slavery at the time the war started, not "states rights" - as pointed out, they were perfectly happy to attempt to force free states to kidnap people. "States' rights" became the battle cry in the next century, read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy

Prior to then "states' rights" was not something heavily pushed by the south regarding the Civil War, they didn't think that way generally. As pointed out they were happy to reject the northern states' rights to disallow slavery!

> The truth is that both sides at the time of the civil war were wrong.

> But the north was also wrong because it was undermining the very institution of law

No, only the south was wrong here.

https://xkcd.com/1217/

"When you see a claim that a common drug or vitamin 'kills cancer cells in a petri dish', keep in mind: so does a handgun."

Given that smallpox helped nearly wipe out the Native Americans, I'm doubly skeptical of "ancient Native American remedy for smallpox!" claims.
One interesting note is "The 8th and 9th digits change every 12 or 2 numbers"

A credit card number, typically 16 digits, starts with 6 digits (the BIN) identifying the issuer/bank and the last number is a check digit with a well known algorithm (Luhn).

This leaves 9 digits for all the customers of a bank (well, all that share a BIN, I assume a bank can be assigned multiple). With some patterns in those digits and millions of customers, it becomes relatively likely that you'll hit a valid number. If there is anything that lets scammers validate the CC number separately from validity and CVC2, the rest of the attack becomes doable.

Presumably you could take the 1800/month and make up the difference with savings? Even with the maternity leave conditions, it is clearly better to be the person making 6000 than 2800.

But I still don’t understand your broader point. Mathematically a progressive tax system is going to have high income people pay more taxes than they receive back in government services, to fund the services provided to low/zero income earners
>There are a lot of people using virtualized development environments, which can make it much simpler to run a production-like system locally.

When running Linux, you do not incur the VM overhead for containers (Docker) that you do on Mac or Windows. This allows for isolated production like environments, without carving out multi GB chunks of RAM. Additionally, if you are targeting Linux for production, you often don't even need to containerize, unless you need to run three different versions of node/python/ruby or something else that is just library conflicts all over the place.

> I’m pretty sure 16gb machines have been the baseline for developers everywhere I’ve worked for the past decade.

My 2012 daily driver was a well spec'd HP, and it had 8GB of RAM. It did not support more - I tried and had to take the RAM back because the machine would only address 8GB. A look at Macbook specs in 2012: 4GB or 8GB models. I think the 16GB becoming the norm was a few years later.
Amazon would likely rather retain (and re-use with their own back end) some APIs that Graphene won't.

Ask HN: What Is the Case for Web3?
Web3 and everything related to blockchains, etc. seems to be easy to dislike and the sentiment on HN seems to be mostly negative: it's not really decentralized, there is a ton of fraud, decentralization has a ton of negative side effects, you could build the same thing without blockchain.

However, I would like to keep an open mind about things, so I was wondering if someone here could make the case for it without resorting to vague buzzwords.
Claims have been circulating for years, now, about Tether's lack of adequate collateralization, and the lack of trustworthiness of their people.

And yet, users out there are holding a total of $73 billion worth of Tether.

Who are those users holding Tether? Who wants to hold Tether? What's the motive of Tether holders? What market need is Tether addressing, and how can that need be addressed while avoiding Tether's issues?

Doesn't DAI work toward basically the same market need as Tether, but in a way that's actually decentralized and actually has checkable reserves? Why don't people desert Tether for DAI?

39 day old low karma account. Normally, I think "what the hell let's have this conversation" but RU/UA are in a hot war, and comments of this nature to speculation of war's widening effects need to be read in the context of active disinformation and destabilising behaviour online.

Why would a low karma account be used to make this speculative statement?
If you run docker under Linux, and I'd assume you would on this machine, you do not incur the VM cost, so you can run containers and pay little more than you would if you were just running everything without the isolation.
