Thank you for sharing that story. I think it's important for young software engineers to see and hear about these stories, and for those of us who have experienced them to share them.

Software development is such a rush when you're young, and it's easy to be blinded to other concerns by the thrill of it. Those of us who have had this desire manipulated for malicious ends need to keep speaking up, to remind people that there can be real harm done by our actions and that we have to be thinking not just about the interesting problem spaces we're exploring but also what the product we're making is doing, what it's intent is, what effect it might have on people.

Please keep sharing this story to young engineers as you come across the opportunity to do so. It's a sobering truth about our duties that often goes unspoken.
Awesome-Deep-Learning-Resources: Rough list of deep learning resources
Hey guys - maker here. I run a career site (https://resumeworded.com) and the most common questions I get asked are around networking and getting referrals.

I built networking emails to make networking easier. It's a collection of email templates that cover every networking situation.

I sourced the initial set of templates from people in my network (colleagues, friends and friends of friends who went to business school, etc) and personal emails, and I'm adding to the list of templates regularly. Every template also includes some insight on why the email was effective, to help you craft better emails.

Each of these emails has amazing copy and actually worked (i.e. got an interview, a response, etc). Each template was also tweaked, so obviously names (e.g. company names, people names, etc) were changed for confidentiality.

Let me know if you have any feedback for this site or my main project (https://resumeworded.com)!
I'd consider mere wordplay closer to granting leeway than actual support. Either way I don't see how either would force me to condone actions taken in their name.

I have to admit I'd have difficulty to decide between voting for them (which I'd consider actual support) or accepting laws as described in this post. Thankfully I haven't had to make such a choice, yet.

And you only need to get everyone on the planet who wants to sell content to participate in the network and agree to standardized compensation.

I don't think this is a power grab by the EU. I think many people who voted for this meant well, but were deluded into thinking this would accomplish what they want. They have sympathy for newspapers, and I do too; quality journalism is very important. I'm just baffled that they actually think this will mean Google will give money to newspapers. That's probably what some old people with a sore lack of understanding of how the internet works, came up with, and then relentlessly lobbied the EU Parliament to push it through.

The EU or its parliament do not benefit from this at all. Except that when this is over, hopefully they've finally learned not to let lobbyists set policy.

> GDPR has ruined the user experience of the web for 500 million people

No, that would be tracking and targeted advertising. No data processing - no need for popups or consent. If you want to sell me out to the highest bidder then you need to ask, and ruin the look of your site. Your problem, not mine.

> I saw that most sites based in the EU are either a) ignoring GDPR entirely, or b) taking the position that showing ads from third party ad networks without specific consent is a "legitimate interest" - whether you agree with that position or not. I also witnessed countless sites that required user consent in order to view content.

The law hasn't been in place for that long, and it will take a while for things to catch up. Your last two types of site there are specifically disallowed, and the first just naive.
Hidden in the comments, here is the wisdom worth incorporating.
tubeless tires?

“Without an inner tube, you can run lower tyre pressures without the fear of a pinch flat, meaning a more comfortable ride with more grip. And if anything sharp does puncture the tyre, the liquid sealant inside will quickly fill any holes”

That's why we need tools to permanently ban politicians from law making if their proposal is awful enough.

Kind of "[X] No and don't ask again", democracy version.

Having thought of it, the main problem here it's no longer "Political party versus political party" when speaking about law making, but "Parliament versus public". For some reason they have shared agenda instead of competing on it. They all unanimously want to sell us to copyright holders and secret services so bad, it's only our stupid resistance is what's holding them. Hence, proposal adjustments tricks.

If you do a road trip more than 80km, you feel the vibration. I find aluminum is worse than steel.
With short, daily trips, I don't think people notice vibration.
Looking at the test results: 4-6mm permanent deformation when dropping it from 18-20cm? That doesn't seem very good, especially for a city ride with frequent curbs, small steps, road gaps, and a heavy rider like myself (92kg).
You took that comment out of context. The parent implied that it was unusual for people to cut and rinse vegetables (I was replying it was not unusual for me). I never said that would resolve the E. Coli problem.
Steel is still a popular material for BMX's and dirt jump bikes, where they are subject to more falls.
I am not suggesting that all 23c tyres are cheap, but that tyre quality (which comes at a cost) as well as size has an important part to play in comfort.

My 23c handmade FMB tubulars (definitely not cheap) are a much nicer ride than cheaper tyres.

Rolling resistance is far more complicated, on anything other than a wooden velodrome, the road surface actually means that there is a sweat-spot in terms of pressure - too low and rolling resistance will be high, as you say, this decreases up to a point at which the effects of the microbumps in the road start to cause energy losses through hysteresis and eventually the tyre bouncing over tiny bumps.

For a 23c tyre and a 70kg rider the optimum tyre pressure is actually typically in the 80-90psi range (5.5-6ATM) although again this is dependant on tyre quality, an expensive tubular tyre with very supple silk sidewalls can be run at higher pressure than a touring tyre with tough reinforced sidewalls.

It is just Christian God fell out of favor and a lot of people choose to worship Holy Technological Progress.
You can easily recognize worshipers of his two main sects in threads like this.

First one claims that you don't need to worry about Climate Change, Super AI, Antibiotic Resistance Pathogens etc because Holy Progress would protect humanity from any threat. It is benevolent God who didn't let us down this far.

Second one claims that sacrificing yourself, your loved ones and the rest of humanity on the altar of Holy Progress is actually worthy goal. Because that is what they believe their God wants.

Fun enough list. I'm not sure the "any programming language" part holds up. Some of these programs require a GUI element.

This discussion thread is hilarious (and adorable) to me. Makes me feel old (in a good way) that there are folks for whom the default meaning of "fork" is git(hub), rather than the unix fork syscall.
Good on you for putting your foot down! You not only learned from your past experience, but you also are setting a good example for other software engineers who may not be thinking about their ethical duties.

People entering the industry need to be thinking about the consequences of the products we make, and I feel like that's something that can be led in part by the visible example of experienced engineers like yourself - ones who have experienced being used for a harmful end and now are willing to both speak up and stand against it happening to them again. I know I needed this very same wake up call when I was a much younger engineer. I feel shame every time I speak about my involvement in harmful products and my cowardice in the moment, but that shame also reminds me of how important it is to talk about it, to try and make sure other engineers think about these duties that are so easily overlooked. And to remind myself that I don't ever want to be in that situation again.

Alastair Reynolds' "Revenger" (2016) is great. I'll not try to summarise it, my take may not be useful, but it's absolutely brilliant world-building (system building?).
They are not 'clickbaiting' it in the web-sense, they're just doing what they do with all stories:

They use UK tabloid newspaper style headings, have always used this style, and probably will always use this style. It's not clickbaiting, it's a parody on UK newspapers then with an informative article, usually with plenty of sarcasm.

I don't think The Register is looking for Google click-through revenue for people with a search phrase consisting 'cacheflow', 'javascript', and 'browser tabs'.

The article explicitly mentions

> Side-channel attacks on other tabs have been known

Yes, it mentions that, and

> one of the legitimate reasons why the NoScript plugin was developed

It didn't mention NoScript, indeed it didn't. But it did mention the general case

> Disabling JavaScript completely will kill off the attack,

There's an artist in Palm Springs called Atomic Skyway who does super-cool clocks, wall mounts and sculptures in a style reminiscent of the Jetsons and the Flintstones.

For comparison, I ride two steel frames from 1982 and 1985, and own a Schwinn from 1963. All have shown signs of use and age, cosmetically, but are still fully functional and safe.

That's not to suggest a wooden frame is less durable, but just an anecdotal calibration of what my expectations are.

You don't get any exercise with an e-scooter, and personally I go a fair bit faster than most of them on my bike. Cycling to the work saves me time on my commute and the need not to go to a gym. My commuting bike (a very basic mountain bike, cost < 300 euros) has paid for itself multiple times over in saved money on public transport. Its an efficient lifesytle choice for me.

I can't understand why so few people cycle.
> NATO has been the factor in preventing war in Europe during the last 70 years.

NATO was significantly involved in the most recent European wars (the Yugoslav Wars). Now you could argue they were "peacekeeping" (and of course there were many atrocities that occurred during the Yugoslav Wars) but that's what a certain country claimed about "Operation Iraqi Freedom".

I would contest that NATO prevented any wars in Europe, they definitely were involved in at least one.

Hah, I'm thinking of making a little banner that says something like

"Hi! It seems you have Javascript enabled by default. While on this site, Javascript enables [features], it's a good security practice to use [browser extensions] to enable it on a per-site basis.

Many malicious practices depend on Javascript, and can leave you open to damage to your things like leaking of personal information (including any site knowing what other browser tabs you have open), and combining that information with other information ad trackers have gathered on you to be used by who knows who for who knows what reasons. One thing is sure, it likely won't be anything you initiated or wanted.

For any site that requires you to expose yourself to harm to get content, you might be able find one that has the better content and respects you, if you look some more. If it's not made from 100% ethical craftsmanship, you deserve better! So check out our web ring; we're the good guys, and you're a bad person if you don't agree.

[web ring stuff]"

Well, roughly like that :P And yeah, I know it all falls down when the banner keeps showing up when a user enabled Javascript with an extension :(

Seriously though, I agree with you, and I think it's silly to be on the defensive. Bring back web mastery, at least as a niche, that people who want that can find, and where people give each other shit for sites not being "ethical" (for lack of a better shorthand) or backwards-compatible enough, too bloated, bad with screen-readers etc.. I would find that refreshing, actually. It technically never went away, the universe just expanded so quickly. There's still sites made like that, there's still good tutorials, but they're in the backseat of the huge "world of web dev", and could be be actually driving in their own niche. Confidence, maybe some principles and a way to affirm them, and users to find or recognize sites that affirm them, is really all that's needed.

I guess calling it "ethical" is not great branding, but surely people have already come up with (and maybe organized) what I mean, with a better phrase for it? If anything comes to mind, just shout it out please.
> There is no 'link tax'. You can paste a target URL anywhere you like along with descriptive words.
