How big is the team at DDG? I handled GDPR compliance for a company big enough to have probably helped draft the law and it wasn't that bad at all. Many of the systems were already in place because they've been industry best-practices for a while (encryption, de-identification, internal access guards).

The two things that needed to be developed were systems around rights of erasure & access. Both of these are pretty straight-forward systems -- it's a REST API for getting user details from a system, and deleting user details from the system.

I believe people are making GDPR out to be a much worse than it is.
Even if the money comes from somewhere, if a large percentage of the population suddenly has more money to spend then inflation happens. I've seen this happen every time the government of a certain Eastern European country decided to raise pensions, a large percentage of the population depends on those pensions. Every time they did that, inflation went up, so it only provided a temporary benefit to those people. But it's a cool electoral trick so it happened quite often.
I don't think they are really that much in love with C aside from a few niche areas. The compiler itself still generates worse code when in C mode as it only exists for back-compat. When I worked there it was explicitly said that the new "universal" (or whatever they are called now) APIs were explicitly not targeting C. C++ on the other hand seemed to be undergoing a new renaissance. They have added some newer C features but only those required by the C++ standard.
My (perhaps naive) question is: where do you get the film? What sort of film to buy?
>Relying on non-standard behavior always ends in tears.

Who's relying on unspecified behavior? Do you mean some theoretical programmer? Well of course that's not a good thing, but I don't see what it has to do with the situation in the story and the MS engineers decideing to change how they implement that unspecified part of the spec.
And then 20-30 years later large scale automation goes into full swing and the EU has a smaller qualified work force to pull from. I just don't see this ending in a beneficial way for the EU.

Isn't that how /r/the_donald started?
I don't think he was suggesting anyone rush into anything. At the same time, a lot of "enterprise" software is still running on Java versions from over a decade ago, so perhaps they'd benefit if they had someone rushing them.
> and document the behavior it will follow.

So it's unspecified in terms of the standard, but specified by the implementation
Where 30 Common Groceries Are the Most (and Least) Expensive
As a developer myself, I know how I could put 128GB or more to good use. I certainly would love more RAM...
Wow. In some ways, that's the worst possible answer. In my view, software architecture is what every developer contributes to, which means we have to be thoughtful about how we collaborate on it.

Every time I see a shop with designated Software Architects who hog the architecture work, it's a fucking mess. Because then Software Architects don't get rewarded in their careers for making software. They get rewarded for writing white papers and coming up with "brilliant" architectures and impressing executives who know less than them about technology. Which is mostly inversely correlated with actually making it easier for developers to get real work done.

From what I know, probably because the Russian government is killing them.
My understanding of their data innovation is on the marketing side. What I heard is they're narrowing their marketing to only homes on heating oil or propane, essentially not going after houses on the natural gas infrastructure. The gas distribution data at the residence level is not super public.

A lot of the overhead there might come from Postgres (e.g. building temporary in-memory indices for hash-joins, because it's assuming random access to the tablespace is slow.) Ideally you have a DBMS that already understands that it's running on nonvolatile memory, and so doesn't have separate "in memory" and "on disk" formats for its data.

Maybe something like Aerospike? (don't know much about it but I've heard it's "for" that)
"The US now has a more generous welfare state than Canada."

That is a flat out lie.

And those countries all have higher tax rates to pay for their social safety net, and they actually work toward getting people to use it. Here in the US, we're actively working to gut the safety net.
Detection of Malicious JavaScript Code in Web Pages
I agree that there have to be limits , but it's not an 0/1 question. Facebook should even be treated as a special case because it's a monopoly, but again it's not 0/1. I doubt they can offer the same service without targetting - facebook makes $100+ from each user in US or western europe. If they made 10% of that they couldn't offer to e.g. store all your photos and vids for free.

And lets not kid ourselves, very few people would pay $100+ for facebook, even though it would be interesting to see them offer that option.
Because he has had a privileged view of more modern style tech startups than almost anyone else writing about the subject.
I fail to see how implementing an unspecified part of the standard in a way which _doesn't_ leak kernel memory could ever be a problem.
Lower privilege levels don't really convey performance benefits. I suppose syscall overhead may impact some applications, but one should not be running untrusted code where the performance bottleneck is accessing the system.
What I meant was, if you love someone you want to make them happy, and in the grand scheme of things wasn't much over the course of a lifetime committment. I can see how it was worded gave the wrong impression.
Their neighborhood market stores are pretty much all self service now. Nearest one to be only has one checkout lane - the rest are self checkout. Theres drive and pickup groceries. Since they need a lot less staff they probably figure they can pay and offer a little more benefits to help improve their public image. I'd say its working too, I've been going a lot more. Their mobile pay with automatic price matching is excellent.

Worth noting the Fred Meyer nearby is also going the same direction. They just installed a ton of self checkout lanes and it seriously works well too. The store was absolutely packed this last weekend but there was hardly a wait to checkout.
That's really good strategy. Is there another industry where you could apply this method? Hire young people for cheap and then let them move to future customers for high salaries. I guess it may work for somebody like Oracle: Hire young devs and after a few years let move to customers who pay them well as experts who then buy Oracle products.
I hate it when people say deep learning instead of neural networks.
I'm not sure if you are arguing against what you quoted from me (that I think a technical lead is neccesary, cause it is a "who"), but the reason I come to this conclusion from my experience is because technical decisions on the macro or medium level need to be decided on a fairly regular basis, and I do _not_ want continual endless consensus committee meetings hashing them over. Or a free-for-all with no coordination.

It is not only more efficient, but better for morale to have an agreed upon person upon whom the buck will stop. Sometimes when things are "everyones" responsibility they end up actually having nobody take responsibility for them. Such a person with ultimate responsibility and authority for technical decisions should be both competent and not an asshole, they should be in constant dialog and taking feedback from everyone else, and paying real attention to their concerns about technical matters.

But for the same reason you need a Product Owner (instead of just the amorphous group of all stakeholders) to ultimately take responsibility for decisions about priorities and acceptance criteria, you need a technical lead to ultimately take responsibility for technical decisions.

I think that "Scrum" doesn't have this is just part of it's attempt to commoditize developers (something I think is characteristic of "scrum" but not part "agile" generally or at it's best). "Scrum" sometimes seems as if it's designers thought there _are_ no technical decisions to be made, just a bunch of widget-ized, swappable developers churning out code to meet the requirements set by the PO. But, in fact, there are technical decisions to be made, that will effect other people's work and the product as a whole, in the short- and long-terms. Regularly.

350k isn't uncommon for a senior SWE at Google. In a state with no income tax (such as WA), it's not unreasonable to estimate he takes home 250k (71%). Suppose he spends $60k a year, leaving him $190k/year to bank. Given the performance of the S&P 500 in the last four years, that could be a million today.
Reduced cost, but still the expense of a ground-source setup (20k is quoted in article).

My best experience with a build tool has been FB's Buck (buckbuild.com), half for it not limiting you to just C/C++, and half for buckaroo (buckaroo.pm) making installs of common packages--like protobuff--easy.

I find that the second limiting factor I hit is being able to easily interop with other languages and to cross-compile for other platforms. Buck makes that super easy, too.

Community fracture is a huge feature of reddit. Something becomes to big, it spins off in to a new community. I rarely go to /r/rpg or /r/programming, but I love /r/genesysrpg and /r/haskell.
> Fork works fine.

It can work but it’s quite unsafe. The standard library doesn’t make any guarantees about fork safety. The language itself doesn’t understand what fork is, and so can’t guarantee anything.
The diamond con is forever.
That’s still pretty bad, honestly. All it took was repeated testing to trigger the issue? That indicates that either Tesla’s testing was woefully insufficient here or that they took a late change to braking behavior without a proper re-testing regimen.

I can actually understand the latter possibility, but it’s still a giant screw up.
That's entirely true. If you want to be in the more popular areas you gotta walk and talk a certain way.
Honestly, it should be possible to run MANY internet services at a profit if you keep your costs low and stop throwing money at every little irrelevant thing. Reddit, Medium, Twitter... all of them probably could have been profitable businesses if their founders ran them out of a normal office, with normal staff salaries (not in the hundreds of thousands of dollars), with less staff and with less money spent on office perks and what not.

Does every business need to be some huge deal with thousands of staff and huge offices and tons of perks and a staff cafe now?

Unless that endpoint can also return other resolutions, Favicon Kit offers more:

(Though, I will say, the URIs returned for Twitter and the image sizes don't actually align in those cases. The first is actually 192ˣ192 pixels, and the second is 32ˣ32 pixels. That seems odd. Maybe they should have endpoints like domain/large, domain/medium, domain/small?)
Interesting. And at some point the future becomes the past and you have to switch the representation and freeze it. Not trivial.
I own a $25,000 Lange & Söhne. While watches are a time-honored way of signaling, I didn't buy it to show off. I've actually never met anyone who recognized it, and off the top of my head I can't remember ever even getting a compliment on it. I'd never buy a Rolex, because they're too loud :)

Here's the disconnect you're struggling with: you don't value watches. Or more accurately, you don't appreciate them beyond simple utilitarian timekeeping. That's fine, most people don't really care about them. Instead of trying to relate to people who buy expensive watches by valuing watches - which you clearly don't - relate to them through the broader experience of spending a lot of money on a hobby.

Do you have any hobbies you spend "a lot" of money on, perhaps more than what's required just to engage with the hobby? Keep in mind that "a lot" is arbitrary. I have a friend who spends thousands of dollars on card games. I don't see the appeal, but it makes him happy and trading card games can be a fun activity. That hobby "doesn't require" a purchase of the most expensive, collectible versions of various cards, but people do it anyway. I'm pretty sure my friend doesn't do it to signal that he can spend that money :)

The point is this: what's expensive for one person is affordable for another, and what's valuable for one person is frivolous for another. There's not much beyond that. It's all relative - in principle it all comes down to whether or not you spend strictly more than you need to on a thing so you can enjoy it beyond its raw functionality. If you do, then you're no longer treating that thing as a tool, you're treating it as a form of art. Like all forms of art, expensive watches are polarizing and subjective, and they attract a subculture of people who discriminate between things which seem utterly arbitrary to people who don't appreciate them.
Its kind of astonishing to me how no one even seems to notice. Its not so popular now, but the /r/murica used to be a joke about overzealous patriotism, then it became something... else. pcmasterrace way back in the day did the same, now its just a pc enthusiast subreddit. I didn't pay as much attention to it, but the the_donald originally was tongue in cheek before it was overtaken by trump zealots and just strangeness...
For appraising anything of serious value a better algorithm would be to have an odd number greater than 2 write up detailed appraisals including 'why' for decision points. Then any values deviating greatly from the norm would be reviewed.

Depending on the noted 'why' the differing reviews had different outcomes either further investigation (focusing on missed details) or followup for a bad or under-trained reviewer would occur. The reviews reflecting the reality of the appraised item would be mean-averaged to find a 'typical market value'.
Brussels has a lot of opportunities. Change your LinkedIn location to Brussels and watch the recruiters salivate.

You can look for jobs on http://www.actiris.be/ce/tabid/93/language/fr-BE/Offres-d-em.... I once submitted my resumé to one company, and it somehow got shared with other companies and recruiters and I had a flurry of offerings.

Most of what I receive is for the Brussels metropolitan area, but sometimes I get stuff from Antwerp, Ghent, Liège/Leuven.
The problem is that other languages necessarily place more restrictions on how their data can be used in order to gain all their nice features. Since you can't control the caller you lose all those guarantees. Because of that it will never be easy to interop across higher level languages. C works well here because its low level enough that it expects few guarantees. Just keep the stack aligned and balanced and it will mostly be happy.
I don't really understand how this is supposed to work. These are DIMMs, meaning they are ram alternatives? Will they be cheaper and slower than DDR4, but persistent and getting benefits from that? Which advantages exactly? Wouldn't the OS need to be aware of that, defeating the point of them being DIMMs?

128GB, 256GB and 512GB per module is sadly too much for consumer motherboards. Why not a 16GB version, didn't Intel even launch Optane with those small sizes?

Deploying Hadoop on Nutanix Enterprise Cloud and AHV
I'm thinking one use case would be embedding in a web app. For example, a chat room or forum that "unfurls" links to show a preview (a'la Slack or Discourse) could benefit from showing a high resolution Favicon, e.g. if the linked page didn't have any other meta tags indicating a favored preview image.
It's an issue because it does two things:

1. Favors certain types of businesses that can more readily arbitrage their domicile (e.g. Apple, Google).

2. Creates an incentive for companies to pay accountants and lawyers a large amount of money to find ways to engage in #1. All of this money is, in economic terms, deadweight loss.

If you look at the effective tax rates companies were paying before this change, they were more or less harmonized with the rest of the world[1]. What was not harmonized was the statutory rate. What this meant in practice is that big companies with the resources to exploit the loophole paid the low rates, and companies without those resources paid the high rates. And the resources that were expended by the companies to accomplish this were 100% unproductive. Harmonizing the statutory rate makes things fair, and eliminates the need to waste money on those types of accountants.

For my interests, I guess I can't see the value in a mobile user; maybe in some really one-off cases in my interests it would be prudent for a unified view? The most I've seen a Reddit board do is have fancier sidebar links. My thoughts when it comes to having differentiated Reddits are forum-like features such as shoutboxes, hyper-specific file uploads, or even flat-out disabling Karma on that board (dunno if that one is already possible).

Sure I can have a forum with all of these features, but not the ease of use or traffic that Reddit gets. Like I hope I got across in my previous post, still undecided and hesitant on Reddit as a whole, even to this day.

But that's how we do it now. It's just that Optane persistent storage is attached to a different bus with much better latency and throughput. Probably categorically and disruptively better.

How will user-mode applications refer to their persistent data if not by a filesystem path? You gotta put access permissions on some kind of object that humans can copy-and-paste into their backup scripts.

The point isn't to have a tax cut but to reform the particular anti-employment/anti-investment distorted incentives the US corporate tax system had.

At some point the US finances are going to have to be stabilized by increasing taxes or perhaps spending not so much on military white elephants, but a non-progressive tax on spending overseas profits in the US is not the right way to do it.
Of course your customers having more money means that businesses will try to capture that excess, that's the foundation of price discrimination.
