Ugh, leave it to Namecheap to fuck up extremely simple UX. Instead of just giving me a toggle in the domain settings, I have to add WhoisGuard to my cart, once per domain (for the tens of domains I own), then go and select "10 years" in the purchasing screen (and wait for the entire page to reload) once for each domain, and then go through the entire checkout process to pay $0.

Why not just let me click a single button, Namecheap?

I wish a new registrar would come in with good service and UX and eat every other registrar's lunch. There aren't any registrars that easily let me manage my domains without trying to sell me tons of stuff every time I need to make a simple change. I've switched to Cloudflare for DNS because their UI is no-nonsense, I half wish they just sold me the domain as well.

> You claim that GDPR has a big administrative burden to small businesses but that's not the case as long as your business model is not based on invasion of privacy

Have you ever dealt with a regulatory enquiry? Even if you have done nothing wrong, they are harrowing, time-consuming and--occasionally--costly.

> Small restaurants need to follow hygiene standards just as the big chains

Look at the food codes in most large cities. Multi-location chains have stricter standards than single-venue restaurants. This is because (a) multi-location complexity introduces new vectors for harm (and lets it scale faster) and (b) people are willing to accept greater risks from small purveyors.

Hi,

I am thining to add a laser attachment to my 3D printer.
Did anyone have experience with them?! How difficult is to connect and mount them? Is any special software required?

I saw a lot of cheap units on Ebay (Chinese mostly) but I am not sure about their quality.

Checked Endurance lasers web site and it seems like that guys offer pretty good variations.
Did anyone try them?

Thank you?

Yeah, Zuck was a jerk in 2007. I suspect even he would admit that. To be fair, though, I was an even bigger jerk at that age and still am.
No hyperbole. Seriously, I was as shocked as you are. It was a very humiliating experience.

A few interesting things that I’ve experienced:

- Companies tend to like me enough that they keep asking me back to “meet more people” - a very time-wasting process that often ends with silence (and no returned emails or calls)

- When rejected from a particularly interesting company, I will sometimes offer to work for free or a discounted rate initially, just so I can prove what I can do. No one has ever taken that offer.

- I have even offered to work at a very discounted salary, on par with a new grad salary. My rational is that I’ll still make more than I would at Whole Foods, and I’m confident that they’ll be impressed enough to bump me to my normal salary. No takers. Although one company did say that by hiring me, I would “cause more harm than good”. WTF?

That is discrimination against younger workers.

Diversity programs are a double edged sword, there are groups that are under represented. However every time you target them you lose the larger group that you didn't target, and that group has great people.
So Bayesianism is good but only sometimes?
It's a pretty valuable insight that adding friction to any system slows down the system more than the sum of it's parts.
If you die in a fire or building collapse it's equally bad whether that building was a large commerical building or a single family.

But we have two sets of building code rules because the regulatory burden is very different. The cost of complying with lots of regulation are fixed, and don't necessarily scale linearly with the size of the company. So to prevent these laws from wiping out small businesses they usually phase on these rules with increasing size.
Bayesian reasoning is a terrible fit for healthcare because it ignores risks.

Suppose 99% of the time a set of symptoms is harmless and 1% of the time it's deadly. A 1% risk of death is extremely high and needs to be taken seriously even if ignoring it would be correct 99% of the time.

You should really do your research, as the UK is suffering a similar opiod crisis (80% rise in usage over the past decade) and the Evening Standard just did a series on the problem. It isn't just the rural US that is suffering from the Sackler's greed. Oxy prescriptions are growing rapidly and it has reached the point where the NHS and Healthcare Products Regulator Agency are trying to get ahead of the problem before it reaches an epidemic level similar to the US.

You can respect everyone's rights and privacy and still be noncompliant, because most of the work of complying with the GDPR for most businesses is in the documentation, customer misinformation, and legal CYA work.

That's totally fair, and a great distinction. I will say that learning to ask for clarification on negative feedback is a good skill to have. Not easy when you depend on a job for income, for sure.
That men don't go to the doctor as much as they should, and do more visits if they are married is well established.

> Good Design is simple.

I think this has principle been taken way too far, and it certainly shouldn't be regarded as a commandment. I, the user, am not always going to be a beginner in an emergency, so why restrict me like that forever? Good design shouldn't be unnecessarily complex, but sometimes you need a complex good design to have a powerful good design.

How did you manage to deal with a GDPR enquiry? It's been less than a Week since it's introduction.

Something tells me that your reaction is not based on facts but pure ideology, an ideology that assumes that regulations are always bad the businesses will take care of the consumers if left to their own devices.
I think this is the likely reason. For instance, 5 years ago when I'd never tracked a calorie in my life, I had no idea how bad most of the things I was eating were for me, or even how good some of the other things were. Quantifying this over time, as well as similar recording for workouts, got me to the point where if you took the tracking tools away I would still be able to roughly (but accurately) gauge both food intake and fitness progression intuitively.
Regulation puts you between a rock and a hard place: regulators are either people without industry experience who don't understand the relevant dynamics (e.g. GDPR, SESTA, SOPA) or people with industry experience who have incentives or predispositions towards favoring the industry.

The best solution to that is simply to regulate as little as necessary, and leave as much up to the market as possible. A good example is infrastructure and utility deregulation in the U.S. and western Europe in the 1980s-1990s. There was a time when government regulators would set, e.g. prices for electricity. Today, electric markets are mostly deregulated, with only distribution utilities remaining as regulated monopolies.
No, I'm under 30 and React is probably a hip design trend, just like Angular and Bootstrap were. Perspective is valuable.

People are offended because the post you're replying to literally only said, "I've gotten less job offers since I turned 40."

Your response was, "well, that's probably your fault."

To rephrase one of your earlier comments, "I'm really not saying you're ageist. I'm just saying I've experienced a non-trivial amount of victim blaming that looks like this, and it's a possibility worth considering if you want other people to take you seriously."
Surely both.
Maybe, maybe not. A new patient visit and a routine annual aren't necessarily the same thing where insurance is concerned, and it's not the doc's fault if she's got a copay/deductible.

They say they've fixed this in this related issue (https://github.com/npm/registry/issues/335) but I can't tell what change was made. The only discussion was around accepting a port number in the Host header. All well and good to fix what I assume was a config bug. But I can't tell if the secondary (but arguably more important) issue of returning valid error messages was addressed. I'm not sure what the exact right error message should have been. If the server was intentionally differentiating host headers with port numbers then probably 400 or possibly 404. But I'm guessing this was just a plain and simple bug and that 418 was set as a cutesy catchall "something unexpected happened" error status to be sent in some exception condition. I hope they've changed that to return 500, which would at least honestly accept blame for the issue.

My general intuition is that you shouldn't expect JS to beat Java or .NET, but you should expect it to be by far the fastest among similarly-dynamic languages. Browsers have been under fierce competition for many years, and are backed by well-funded engineering teams, so JS performance in particular has repeatedly pushed the limits on what kind of optimizations are possible in a dynamic language. Other dynamic languages haven't had the same incentives.

APL programming on a touch screen sounds like it would be better than regular programing on a touch screen because the terseness in that context is much more appealing -- it's a lot nicer to enter a few symbols from a software keyboard than a few words on a touch screen, which isn't at all the case for programming on a regular keyboard.

(searching for 'apl iphone' is going to suck, though)

If your friend, like you, had received a powerful narcotic painkiller instead of a diagnosis, might the painkillers have covered up her symptoms and caused her tumors to go unnoticed longer?

I'm very skeptical of the medical industry. Modern medical science is fantastic stuff but as an industry there is something seriously wrong. I think they over-prescribe painkillers on a scale few people would find believable. It's disappointing they aren't applying the skepticism your friend received universally across the board. It would do a lot of good if they did.

That screams HIPAA violation, to me. The practice could (and should) be shut down over it.
Outside of trucking: In the US, there are a handful of States that do not even require car insurance, and in the ones that do require it, the minimum "shit tier" coverage is astoundingly low. In Florida, where I once lived, you could get coverage of $10K (property damage and personal injury) and be driving legally. $10K won't even cover the cost of a broken leg.

It’s not clear if gender bias is the right word given that it’s such a loaded term. Women visit doctors more frequently and as the article states have higher rates of mood disorders. Given this, it seems obviously that misdiagnosis would be higher in women than men. It falls out of the Baysean statistics. If AI we’re doing the evaluation you could remove the gender parameter, but it could lead to even more frequent misdiagnoses. Alternatively we could be more exhaustive with diagnosing women but at what cost to the healthcare system? But then wouldn’t we be biasing against men? There is no free lunch here.

Plugging in numbers for my $1000 synology, which runs a half dozen dockers, a vm, and is off-site backed up (for $120/yr), it tells me that I’ll pay $135/month to run comparable kubernetes at google.

Even if you pretend my $75/month broadband connection is only used by the synology, and include power costs, the synology still wins by $10’s/month.

(I included 3TB of storage for kubernetes, and 6TB usable for synology, with 3TB used, and sized for the high-memory 4 core machine, since dram is the synology bottleneck, even with a low wattage cpu. The synology is intentionally over-sized and is basically idle, so “but scalability!” isn’t a valid complaint.)

Unfortunately there is another dimension here which is that we're allocating a scarce resource (medical care). If one group has significantly higher rates of hypocondria (again, I don't know for sure whether this is true, but assume for argument's sake that it is), and we're forced to treat everyone as an individual (i.e. ignore this fact), then this necessarily deprives other groups of resources (medical care).
Yeah, but that's more or less my point: The bar is so low...
> If anticheating techniques really require root access, then people that care about competitive gaming should have an option to consider this trade-off and turn the anticheating pieces on if they think this has a better reward/risk ratio than not giving root access to a game.

In CounterStrike (Global Offensive) this is already the case. The official Valve anticheat is not as intrusive as the anticheat provided by external services like Esea or Faceit. If you choose to use such service they basicly take your system apart. It turns out that in order to get good results this is needed.

I think you underestimate the impact massive cheating can have on a game. Even casual players will leave games that have cheaters in every other lobby.
It's pretty absurd to require users to continually pay you money with threat of revealing all of their personal information publicly if they ever choose to stop paying you.

I can't imagine many industries getting away with that except for registrars due to how the whois system has worked historically, but it's basically just extortion, keep paying us or you're doxxed. Whois privacy should be the default everywhere for no additional charge, so I guess this is a change in the right direction.

>Why is there a belief in this industry that working more hours == productivity?

Lack of manager ability to measure productivity based on anything else. Between POs, BAs, business representatives, and IT managers there are a lot of people who don't seem to be able to grasp why two relatively simple to describe tasks can require such vast differences in time. So it becomes hard for them to judge if their developer is wasting their time or not (and let's not even begin on overall lack of trust to begin with), so the only fall back measure is if they have their butt in the seat and appear to be working. And even if you are lucky enough that everyone you directly deal with either understands the basics on why sizing varies so greatly or able to accept it without question, you still have to deal with middle managers walking the floor who measure productivity the same as they would in a factory. And if you are lucky enough to not even have this problems, you still have to deal with cultural norms set in party by all the jobs which aren't as lucky.
The traditional way to advertise niche products is to advertise in places where the relevant audience is. Maybe put ads on RC-related websites or technology-related TV channels, or buy sponsor spots on technology podcasts or YouTube-channels. You don't _need_ huge amounts of information about every Internet-using individual in order to do targeted advertising.

Podcasts, which (so far) have mostly been free from extreme privacy-violating ad networks, have been doing this for ages; I regularly hear relevant ads for Ting, Linux Academy and Digital Ocean when listening to Linux-podcasts, or for bone conducting headphones, fancy mesh network routers and domain name registrars when listening to general tech podcasts. I also hear ads for PC hardware and VPNs when watching tech YouTube-videos. The ads YouTube itself chooses for me, on the other hand, are generally completely unnecessary and poorly targeted ads for movies I don't want to see or cars or soda.

No. That's shoddy reasoning:

a) Getting pushback on your idea is not necessarily someone taking offense

b) Casting react as a "hip design trend" is not - in and of itself - a statement about it's fitness for a purpose. It's a statement about popularity, and highly visible things should expect criticism.

c) Even if trendy is meant to disparage the tool as nothing more than a flash in the pan, I think that gets to my (unaddressed) point about hyperbolic language in unimportant discussions.

e) "The reaction proves the point" can be applied to any disagreement, therefore it doesn't reinforce a point without more substance that they're meaningfully connected.

d) It's still unclear what your point was supposed to be. My ask for clarity was not facetious, so far I'm only responding to the point I can infer but find flimsy enough that I preemptively conceded you might be getting at something else.
