How many Twitters EU produced before GDPR? Approximately, 0. If we'll go below that number now, it will be an economic miracle I'd really like to see it.

Now, seriously, there are so many other problems here and GDPR compliance is so easy when you've already paid attention to security of your service, that it really does not make sense to blame a good law. Losers who cannot comply just don't deserve to be on the market.

The story with copyright directive is completely different and has no connection to GDPR.

This is an old argument - its been the vanguard for speech and anti regulation since the first webforums were made and the first hackers got together and discussed the "old world".

But today regulation IS coming. And many of those old beards will be on the side of regulation - because there are huge issues with the way the internet is currently working out.
I don't know... I got a baby a year ago... the responsibility factor here trumps a dog by a factor of 10, but my baby has probably saved my life countless times this year.

My depression this year has been the worst ever - because of external factors like losing a good source of income, getting hired by an employer who then never paid, and some marital issues around faith/church (I left the church we belong to (Mormonism) because I no longer believe and am leaning Agnostic), and then celebrity(Chester Bennington)/external influences of people I know who died by suicide. Plus, I can't help feeling that death's around the corner and could happen any day. Watching 13 Reasons Why probably wasn't a great thing to do either in hindsight, though it was a pretty good series.

I've gone from one month making 7k to <500 the next and spending all our savings just to get by. I'm trying to build up my freelance docket, and hopefully through word of mouth grow out of this phase (plug: Laravel + Vue is my stack).

The point of the rant is... without my son, I think I probably would've done the unthinkable. There's also many times where I just felt crushed inside, and I didn't know what to do... but I'd go upstairs and just hold my son, and cry a bit, and it's hard to stay upset when you think of this kid and the life ahead for them, that they can do things better than you did and hopefully not make the same mistakes. Not to mention the cuteness/cuddles cheer you up a bit, I'm sure there's probably some endorphins being released even.

My dog died this year, but in the past holding/petting her helped some with depression too. Sometimes I will go a day or two without even going outside, and I find my mood also brightens if I just take out the trash or walk around the block.

Laws are a balance of interests. There are legitimate reasons to show violent crimes in a documentary, work of art, or political commentary, which balance against the harm. There are no reasons to show child pornography.

Sexual abuse emphasizes dynamics of objectification, humiliation, powerlessness. I'd argue that victims respond more strongly to pictures of sexual abuse than to pictures of physical violence. Wikipedia says that a million children have been abused to produce child pornography, whereas there are few instances of violence to produce pictures of violence. In this sense, child pornography is inseparable from the crime, whereas with violence, there is a distinction between the crime and the documentation.

That said, I do sympathize with the view that sentences for the possession of child pornography are too harsh, especially when viewing pedophilia as a mental disorder. I strongly support efforts to make therapy more accessible, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_Project_Dunkelfeld.

Maybe they can use ML on the user feedback to figure out what features people actually would like on the platform, instead of trying to figure out relevancy, which no company has ever successfully done. /s

Is there a recent in-depth article somewhere about Twitter's internals? It must be frustrating working on features very few people want to use.

I still can't edit a tweet I just posted, any video looks absolutely horrible for the first 10 seconds, the timeline is a mess, third-party developers that make interesting/much better clients are getting stomped on, and harassment is running mostly unchecked on the platform. Yet I read interesting development articles on the engineering blog. Wasted talent?

I really like the Twitter engineering blog articles, but it seems like it's just an HR tool.

1 loyalty
Too often I experience employees or co-worker to think they have better ideas or should be opposing to their manager. Managing happens often under uncertainty. Making it for your boss easier to know you are there to take on ups and downs will almost often grant loyalty in return. On this job and future opportunities as well.

ContentCory – Simplified Social Media Content Calendar Built with Laravel/Vue.js
Hi guys!

Would love to hear what you think about ContentCory, a simple tool I created to manage your social media content calendar. I built it on Laravel/Vue.js with the Laravel Spark boilerplate.

I personally found existing tools too complicated for what I needed, so I decided to build one myself, focussing on creating a really nice overview of my content.

Just to be clear: Cory doesn't publish or schedule posts, it's purely keeping all your posts and post ideas in one place.

Main features:

- Receive reminders of your posts

- Drag and drop posts

- Add team members

- Search your posts

- Add tags

- Centralize visuals and video’s

- Save your post ideas in an ‘idea box’

Would you use a tool like this? Why / Why not? Are there features you are missing?

Thanks for your feedback!!
>In my experience I've found inflexibility with respect to OS to be a warning sign that usually means someone isn't going to work well long term as a flexible, open-minded team member.

Come on. Someone can be an excellent dev but be made much more efficient by their chosen tools/environment.

Come do some public sector work for a while - you'll see what inflexibility really looks like.

I wonder how much malicious code like this is doing its work deep down in the endless pyramid of npm dependencies.

And how much as-of-now clean code will turn into malicious code when bad guys take over npm repos in the future.

It might be possible to tackle this issue by some intelligent trust algo that combines a trust rank similar to google-page-rank and signed messages.

Say somebody pushes an update to their repo. Now the first user of it might read it and sign it with 'Looks OK /Joe'. And the next user sees the signed message by Joe in some kind of package-review-message list. Based on all the reviews and the trust of the reviewers, they then can calculate a trust score for the update.
Actually, I worked for Boeing on gearbox design. So I am fairly aware of strength of materials and did a lot of such computations. If you're unsure of the strength, you use the minimum guaranteed value. You don't use materials for critical pieces for which you don't have any data. That would be incredible incompetence.

Again, what I am talking about is using statics to determine the minimum loadings to check against the computer models, which should predict higher values or they are wrong.

This is not difficult.

We changed the names of the SSIDs, which were publicly open at the time and there was no legal president set as to if it was legal or not to do so, since we were on public property. We were providing a service to the community, letting people know there is someone who can help them secure their network.

I do admit the changing them back part was a bit evil, but don't act like you're some saint who hasn't done anything wrong especially as a teenager or in your early adulthood.
These are so bloody irrelevant. People need to take this more seriously.

Is this speech:

Investigative reporter finds major issue with all major news outlets in a country

Reports it on social media

All news channels ignore it, they instead cover other material and bury it

-------

People create incendiary whatsapp messages

they are refined and designed to be absorbed immediately by people

People form mobs and kill women and men over 50 times in separate incidents because they believe the targets are "child abductors".

-----

There are riots.

People start spreading false information

Enemy Nation states intervene and spike the narrative.

The riots turn into a coup.

-----

The internet is evolving the way people deal with speech itself.

The old lines in the sand are for people who remember them. But the vast majority of people just dont know, dont care.

The truly malicious are using speech to cause harm at scale we have not seen before.

They have a way to now target human systems that could not be harmed, and which have no native protections that can deal with this problem at the rate/scales of today.

Case in point- Fake news and propaganda. And by fake news, the original meaning - IE random people in Romania creating websites which look like news sites to farm clicks and make money.

Those fake news sites are a perfectly legitimate exercise of free speech.

Did they lie? Is it an issue if someone lies?

-----

My point is simply this - the old rules are going to end, pretty damn fucking quick.

Governments are not going to sit around letting a Cambridge Analytica scenario unfold, or a Brexit unfold ever again.

This means that they will ALL look to becoming China lite variants very soon.

Speech = thought = ideas - which are now being put to the test with industrialized propaganda.

You dont need to drop leaflets over enemy lines when you can advertize through facebook. Or send whatsapp messages via sleeper cells.

You dont need to indoctrinate only those people who come to your centers, you can polarize swathes of people - and the Internet and content generators will HELP you, because outrage = engagement.

I've been doing Python for over five years now. I recently installed a small command line tool using npm. I was completely stunned by the number of dependencies.

I have a similar story, but more from necessity; for the first few months while our dad saved up money to buy a tape drive (something he didn't know was sort of necessary when he made the initial purchase), the machine just sat there at the interpreter prompt. Luckily the reference guide and various magazines of the time had examples we could type in. That became the routine - you want to play a game, first you have to type it up. In retrospect, it's actually quite amazing how good a teacher necessity can be.

In praise of extreme moderation
Oh no, did they remove it on later models? I'm still using a 2012 MBP (bought new in 2015), that I upgraded to 16GB and 2TB and is still covered by AppleCare. My 2006 & 2007 MacBooks had the light too.

Here's a video of the sleep / snooze light in action:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT6siXyIjvQ

Aside from it being cool/delightful, it's also useful. When you close the lid, the light initially stays fully on, until the system has actually entered sleep mode. If it stays fully lit (and doesn't start 'breathing'), it's a hint that the machine hasn't actually gone to sleep. Do not put a non-sleeping MacBook in a backpack, or it will get insanely hot to touch...

Cashflow: you want many of them, things that have royalties or residuals that add up over time. Better having a bunch of gradual passive incomes instead of one big income. Making software that is sold in an App Store is a way, but also offering your web dev services on a month-by-month basis (subscriptions) may be a potential way to leverage this idea. Longterm you want a way for money to continually keep finding you, and the quantities don't need to be huge but the trickles should be many. Start with something that scales and get it working. Other things that can help you make a passive income are: writing books (after you have a life worth of experience to write about or very strong philosophy or understanding, or simply colorful use of language), create music and sell albums or songs online (i am breaking into busking, myself), create or invent something that kicks back a small percentage but frequently. It all adds up, so small things ... don't shy away from them. What's your ideal vision for job and house and squad situation? Visualizing where you want to be without stressing so much the "how" can be really beneficial because we are naturally pathfinders in a rapidly changing world, sometimes we need to focus on the honeypot and the rest falls into place.

First, be valuable to the company - get work done, be reliable, be available. Second, understand the manager's strengths and weaknesses and become valuable to them individually.. if architecture is their weakness, help them understand that; if not tolerating skipped deadlines is their weakness, don't skip them, etc. Third, provide constructive feedback in 1:1s - help them become better. Finally, do not make them look bad in public, especially when their bosses are around.
Dual-pronged approach: (1) get help on the side, (2) don’t say shit, don’t tell anyone, don’t take vacation, just grind it out the best you can and take pains to be really nice on a personal level and actively call in all technical favors you can cash in.

I hate that this is the best thing to do, but it is. Fight. Fight hard and grind.
