vextea··on Puberty blockers trial can start recruiting children
Did you seek professional help and advice (e.g. a psychologist)? Because simply questioning is not enough to access medical interventions in the UK.
vextea··on Puberty blockers trial can start recruiting children
In this case regretting it generally means stopping taking blockers and letting puberty progress as it would without the intervention. Puberty blockers give time to assess if further intervention is needed later (such as hormone replacement therapy)
vextea··on Puberty blockers trial can start recruiting children
Besides the bait, if the claim is that the evidence for treatment is weak (or well, "evil") a study with appropriate safeguards seems like it should be welcomed not eschewed.
vextea··on What I wish I knew about privacy sooner
Could also just be similar to the case highlighted in Syre with articles copied from Miljömagasinet, where they published them without permission.

vextea··on What I wish I knew about privacy sooner
It seems like the article is a verbatim copy from the site that OP posted in the comments (Ludlow something)
vextea··on LaTeX.css – Make your website look like a LaTeX document
So unfortunate that justified text in browsers looks awful compared to documents generated with LaTeX (usually)....
vextea··on Show HN: Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics
Makes sense, wish you the best of luck!
vextea··on Show HN: Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics
There seems to be some mentions of selling licenses (and pricing) in the source. What are the plans around that?

vextea··on Tell HN: Uptimerobot.com offers a fake free plan
What about your earlier Show HN post for the same service where you quote:

Is it your service?
vextea··on Entropic Engineering DEFCON 32 Statement
Entropic wasn't the people that added the hidden screen with the credit
vextea··on Stack Exchange Data Dump [Archive]
Added in 2014, but it's updated continuously, e.g. `math.stackexchange.com.7z (View Contents) 07-Apr-2024 02:18 3.4G`
vextea··on When 'open core' projects reject contributions for competing with the EE
Its the combination of disappointment that it wasn't merged and that it took several months to get back on a significant contribution (whilst adding their own version into their enterprise offering in the meantime). Of course there's going to be some emotions, and rightfully so.
vextea··on Jazelle DBX: Allow ARM processors to execute Java bytecode in hardware
Remember when for a while Azul tried to sell custom CPUs to support features in their JVM (e.g. some garbage collector features that required hardware interrupts and some other extra instructions). Although they dropped it pretty quickly in favor of just working on software

vextea··on Get a Windows 11 development environment
The main issue is that the duration is variable depending on when the VM was released. When I checked earlier (not sure if this is still the case) the license was valid for 90 days after release.
vextea··on Get a Windows 11 development environment
It's every hour after the "evaluation period" ends, so for the current image it's after February 13th.
vextea··on Picking the Widevine Locks: Acquiring and Using an L3 CDM
Yes and no, whilst centralization is convenient I don't like the implications of everything being served on say Netflix with no alternatives.
vextea··on EU data regulator bans personalised advertising on Facebook and Instagram
Sites like camerasize could feasibly target based on the niche they fill rather than showing generic "personalized" ads. There are ad networks out there that do this, e.g. Carbon.
vextea··on Strikebreakers arrived by taxi to Tesla's workshops in Sweden
Worth noting that Transport (different union but also affiliated like IF Metall with LO) already signaled that they'll go on a sympathy strike at several of the largest shipping terminals refusing to (un)load freight destined to Tesla.
