This is one of the best provisions in GDPR, in my opinion. If someone opts out of data collection, you still have to provide them the service unless the data collection is absolutely necessary to providing the service. It's not an all-or-nothing like most EULAs tend to be, you can opt out of non-essential parts of the agreement.
As life becomes more connected, privacy that was not enforced but just existed due to technical limitations keeps eroding.

We should remember this, anticipate this, maybe sometimes legislate around this, but most of all, build explicit technical counter-measures. Also, all of this may and sometimes will fail, so we need to learn to live in an inevitably more and more transparent world.
Here's a more or less accurate version of the story, omitting some details but pretty close to being right:

I don't think it's counter-intuitive at all! Here's what I'm interpreting from your comment:

* When you listened to expectations and met those expectations, you were reviewed as meeting expectations

* When you met expectations PLUS did additional stuff, such as "spending a lot more time understanding basic fundamentals of software engineering", you exceeded expectations.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me! Especially since becoming better at SE fundamentals probably made you an objectively better programmer.

I completely agree with you, but as an aside this seems to be almost inherent. When power is granted it's not a question of if but when it will be abused.

This is one of the most infuriating things about people's political decisions. When a party or individual they support is in power they're happy to extend the limits of his power as much as they possibly can. And then they act surprised when those very same powers are later on exploited by a an individual they do not support.

The only way this can ever end is by starting to reign in power even when the people that would use that power are those that we currently like and trust to use it responsibly.

My counter-example of a "successful" post with a failed product.

I did more than a couple of Show HNs. The most upvoted one (49 upvotes) was one of the first ones with a mostly crappy product [0].

I was just starting to learn to code, it was an ugly, amateurish CRUD, lacking a lot of basic features.

Unsurprisingly, it went no where. Not because of the software quality, but the product itself.

It was an idea of organizing sales prospects info based on my own experience as a salesperson and the way I organized myself using Excel sheets. It was a neat idea and I believe that's why it was upvoted.

I even had one of those "why should I use this product if I can do it myself with excel?" comments [1]. Turned out this one was right, as it was an excel sheet turned - unnecessarily - into a web app.

The evidence is that I got only one or two signups, who never came back after the first visit.

Adding to projects without authorization, is extremely popular all around, if the commit/pr is useful. My boss sees it as taking initiative, helping others, and broadening my skill set. Other teams see it as getting free work.

Even when my contributions suck people think of it as a positive and often teach me the right to do the code or explain why the change is not necessary.

As far as books go I don't have anything to recommend. For me improving fundamentals was really about figuring out what I didn't understand and diving in to learn it. I prefer online materials over books but one book I have read that I thought was great is 'the pragmattic programmer'. https://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Programmer-Journeyman-Maste...

SAM is similar to Mark Notation (http://marknotation.org/) that I created in many ways:

- a clean syntax and data model
- easy to parse and use
- friendly to human
- improving on JSON

SAM vs. Mark Notation

- SAM is primarily for configuration data
- Mark can be used for both configuration and mixed content (like HTML, XML)
- SAM is pure data (no templating)
- Mark is also designed for templating, e.g. Mark Template
Like sibling commenter, I'm right with you because I am dubious of Tower's pay-to-play subscription model.

Sublime Merge implements cash cow subscription (paid license works in perpetuity and grants updates for a specified time period). [0] This is more acceptable for those concerned about losing access to tools due to an expired license.

Cash cow licensing provides a good balance between the developer and user where the developer has strong incentive to actually improve the product and the user the power to decide if paying for an updated version is worth it.

With pay-to-pay, one's tools are effectively held hostage regardless of the value of available updates.

It doesn't matter if they correct it after they've already sold the lie. The damage is done and most people won't read the correction.

After 9/11, New York Times wrote an article about how dangerous Saddam's weapons of mass destruction were. MSM just takes Bush/Obama admin + intelligence communities claims at face value. It is supposed to be their job to fact-check govt, but instead they are just a rubber stamp for govt propaganda. The only admin they have been capable of properly fact-checking is Trump admin and that's only because their corporate sponsors & donors are anti-Trump.

When the intelligence community makes a claim, media fact-checks that claim by asking the SAME intelligence community to verify.

If they aren't willing to put in the work to be trustworthy, there's no reason to give them any trust.
If it is truly embeddable in a C program (there was some note about using this as a library in a C program), then this would be a fantastic way to augment development of software in C -- it seems to improve on the C programming language. I like the support for generics and type inference and have always wished C had that. The C interop story looks very good too.
What would it take to do that? Something entirely unpatchable, I expect. I'm having trouble imagining what kind of exploit would be that powerful.
The one killer feature I'm hoping some GUI client implements is the ability to seamlessly search and filter branches by just typing the way most IDE's implement search for symbols or files. I work on large active projects that use git flow and inevitably there are dozens of branches. Sourcetree in particular is slow and painful in this scenario and I would love to replace it.

Sublime Merge is looking very responsive and cleanly organized. Great job!

Hmm. I suppose your CI and code review tools allow code on branches different than master?

Emphatically agreed. I've wanted to hear about this for years.
I think they take issue with the bridge aspect of react-native and with shipping a node binary instead of using the platform's built-in javascript engine (a-la react-native). For instance, <View> would create either an NSView or System.Windows.Controls.Grid using a yet non-existent JS api on each platform, instead of having a bridge that talks back and forth with the platform-native language.
Put enough neurons in a room with enough energy and you get intelligence!

The developer who started that twitter thread massively overstated how much react was going to be used in MS Office applications because for some reason he didn't like that a college professor said that scripting languages aren't appropriate for developing an office suite. You can see in the first tweet he says that all of the office applications are being re-written in javascript, and after everyone was thoroughly dissapointed that MS would do that, other developers from MS commented here and on reddit that all of the office tools were going to stay written in C++, and react was only going to be used for some of the UI design, there was never a plan to rewrite everything in react.

> Regressive by whose standards? Progress as defined by whom?

Just because what constitutes "common decency" is up for debate doesn't mean we can't have opinions on what it should be and strive for that. In this case, the comment is an opinion about the behavior of someone / an org that published an article. This is not general, this is specific. Anyone can have a specific opinion about that.

> You can’t censor people just because they’re not sticking to the script that “right thinking” people like you approve of.

When you publish anything, you _have_ to make a decision on whose voices you amplify. The decisions you make reflect who you are / what you believe in. So yes, I can totally criticize a publication for amplifying voices I think are harmful to the general discourse.

Interestingly I am myself doing a Ph.d. in photonics engineering, but I am almost entirely in signal processing and information theory.

Anyway, thanks for the links and the thoughts! Amusingly almost all of the links were already visited! I've looked several times at your library for geometric constraint solving in Python and almost thought about using it for my own projects. In the end however I think SolveSpace is the best choice -- it is solid, actively developed and fast.

Your ambition of having the drawings be singularly specified by their constraints is absolutely admirable, but from my experience it is simple not feasible nor desirable. First, the optimization problem is difficult to solve and it will be difficult to specify it such that there is only one unique solution. Secondly, I think the human provided prototype (through a GUI) is a critical part of the design process which makes this technology usable. But I understand the desire to have drawings specified only by constraints.

In the long term, if I am allowed to dream, I'd like to see the development of a more general purpose constraint-based and parametric drawing library. Right now I am focused on PCB footprints, but many of same ideas are useful in electrical diagrams, optical diagrams, GUIs, page layout etc etc. We'll see how far I get ;)
Parallel construction doesn't have nefarious uses it is inherently nefarious. It is an end run around the law they are supposed to be upholding.

In actual practice you shouldn't perform broad illegal surveillance of your populace and if you do you shouldn't be able to use it in court without revealing your sources.

This fundamentally violates the rights of the accused.
Thank you for your message. I thought about that issue a bit as I was writing this. It isn't a perfect comparison. However, I think comparing both the higher and lower level APIs together in terms of usage and popularity does provide value when trying to measure usage and interest.

He tricked a fishing boat captain into letting himself and a film crew follow them out to the north pacific to document the destruction caused by dragnet fishing boats. He wined and dined the captain and told him that he was a big shot hollywood producer making a film about large sea creatures. Then my boss filmed them killing seabirds and dolphins and whales, presented that evidence to the UN along with statistical data predicting a complete and total crash of the northern pacific salmon population and got them to outlaw the practice of dragnet fishing.

I like doing what you describe as well, improving an existing codebase, but its not something most businesses see as valuable. Instead you end up adding more hacks on top of the existing crappy codebase to get features out on time, making it even worse.

I was unfamiliar with Clustrix. It looks like they've been around a while (YC06) and have some sophisticated technology (http://docs.clustrix.com/display/CLXDOC/Distributed+Database...). A horizontally scalable drop in replacement for MySQL is nothing to sneeze at.

Will that be FIDO2 compliant? I was under the impression that it's using the older standard that does not allow a per-account identifier to be stored on the device:

To be sure, I'm not sure if it's that important. Mostly, I'm trying to understand where the market is going to settle and who is making devices for that market.
That is a little different. ;) Is that 10% in addition to the 100% you were spending before, or are you spending 90% of your time doing what you’re told and 10% on other things? I’m thinking here of stuff like Googlers referring to 20% time as 120% time, and such.
They should also add a strong recommendation that WhatsApp and Signal are better used from a burner phone and a disposable phone number. With phone (directory) aggregation platforms like Truecaller that collect many people’s names and numbers and also provide free lookups, certain people who want or need a higher degree of anonymity would end up being inadvertently exposed to the people at NYT.

This is a great point, except when I was meeting expectations. I talked to my manager a lot about I how could exceed expectations and followed that advice then I was still told I meet expectations.

I think it's often difficult for managers to describe how to exceed their expectations, it may be a natural human limitation.

I have done it in the reverse way: have django act to proxy requests to the node server.

That way ypu can use django sessions, authentication, login, admin, etc.

The node server just does rendering, and creates client side JS based on data it is given by Django.

It took 25 lines of code, yes, but pretty much worth it if you have a long term project like a single app that your company is built around.
