Yeah I block tor for account registrations for one of the worlds largest social media apps. It’s nearly all abuse. Though I let tor access if you already have an account.

Something that I’ve noticed at my company and other companies friends work at is an increasing number of software engineers who do not write code at all. They just write documents, comment on documents, go to meetings, and ask questions in

I operate from a different perspective when walking in that I assume cars are not stopping for me, they don't see me, and they have the right of way. I see many people blindly walking across streets when the walk signal goes green, the

I think you are right, I'm not sure why it's there then.

I have a 2021 Model Y and a 2023 S Plaid. I'll never go back. The Plaid is truly an amazing car. It will beat super cars in 0-60 and the quarter mile (at a fraction of the cost), seat 5, reach speeds over 200 mph, has lots of storage i

I really think we have too many people working at most companies. It pushes people to the extremes and edges just to have something to work on. Managers need more people under them to get promotions. And managers want to manage managers to

What’s going to happen when the haves can afford to buy solar and go off grid leaving the have-nots left on a grid increasingly void of people who can pay for it? I suspect off grid users will be taxed heavily and/or it’ll be illegal t

Is that true? I have pretty good insights from working with many of such people, close friends with many, and working at big tech companies. At big tech anyways, people on work visas are making a lot of money.

This will make it easier for large Chinese companies to rule over you that can "snuff out entire startup sectors with loss-leading products".

Why would a company use ocaml? I’ve worked in software now for most of my life, from small to the biggest companies. I’ve watched teams with senior developers use non mainstream languages to build services and just about every time those de

China, Korea, Japan, has some of the largest cities in the world and violent crime is extremely rare in those cities. Crime was never on my mind when I lived in Tokyo. “Big cities” isn’t the cause.

It's still wild to me that I can play Steam games in my Tesla on a big 18" screen. I believe this is just running Steam Deck.

I stopped guys, I stopped doing it. For internal tools at my company, I just use a golang backend (because most of our services are golang so there's no learning curve for folks) and use go's templating system to render HTML. I ca

I wish google/YouTube would shut down all of their open redirects. The level abuse there is insane.

Seems these sites should be blocked on CF, at the root. Not all the leaf nodes apps. It’s pretty easy for me to automate it at my company. Seems CF could?

Here's NSFW scam sites behind CF that use free TLDs. I could post 10s of thousands of these. * https://atragcara.ga * https://donaga.tk * https://snatemhatzemerbedc.tk

That's done too. But it's not just a few, it's literally 10s of thousands of individuals from places like Bangladesh who do this as their source of income. They are smart, on real devices, will solve any puzzle you throw at t

I could. But we are talking about one of the worlds largest social media platforms used by hundreds of millions of people daily. There’s legit websites hosted on these free domains and I don’t want to kill those along with the scam sites. I

We do. But with free TLD's, spammers and scammers can create an unlimited number of new domains at zero cost. That's the problem. They can send a single spam URL to a single person and scale that out, each person gets a unique dom

Spammers are exploiting cloudflare by creating thousands of new domains on the free tld (like .ml) and hosting the sites behind cloudflare and spamming social media apps with links to scam dating sites. CPA scammers. If anyone from CF sees

I don't have any data to back this up, just my opinion, but I prefer backend rendered sites with Javascript augmentation for the parts that need it. Just feels faster. These JavaScript UIs feel clunky and slow IMO. Maybe it's the
