Good question, good replies. Thanks to OP and others!

IMHO your situation is actually quite positive because you notice the domain you enjoy more, which is communicating with people rather than interacting with computers. Why not just keep moving toward that direction?

I wonder if you have played any games that lack of tactics and don't require you to learn techniques to master, and you can just farm and farm and farm before your level or whatever is enough to conquer the final boss. Monotonous, boring, just like that. If the only reward you get from coding is salary and nothing else, then you should really consider leaving the comfort zone, which is actually what you are trying now, and that's good.

It is quite easy to comply with GDPR

- store as little data as needed
- protect the data in state of the art ways
- make transparent what you store and process and why
- establish a process to delete data once it's not needed anymore

It is only complicated if you want to build a company around the abuse of data, as common in the ad world.
Ask HN: Would you be interested in Screenshot scraper/miner SaaS?
I have this idea to build screenshot processing service that will extract data using OCR and presented it in tabular format that can be exported as excel.

Later plan is to expose this service as an API.

Is this service solve any real world usecase or requirements given availability of only screenshots.

Note: I am aware of html scrappers and used also.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Faces Poverty’s Demise Worldwide
Office rental costs are basically highly correlated with the business cycle, when we're late in the business cycle there's lots of companies doing well, so they're hiring people so they're expanding so they need more office space. We can see that's true due to the low unemployment rate. This drives prices up. Because WeWork's business model is primarily to offer short-term flexible agreements their business is doing great now.

The problem is that WeWork is agreeing long-term agreements (5-10 years) with their suppliers. So when a recession happens unemployment will spike, businesses will close offices, consolidate to the low cost offices they own (which they can do really easily with their flexible agreements with WeWork) and WeWork is going to be left with lots of expensive offices that no one wants to use. That's one of the reasons their debt is so expensive.
Yes, WoW is a tough one to leave behind. Hindsight, the game is a psychological rollercoaster, with high downs and even higher ups.

I think for the most part -- other than the game turning into crap -- it was the feeling of degradation, and I think this comes with age. And it helped that during my breaks from the game I actually got to live life, and have meaningful experiences that further fueled my decision.*

*: I don't like the word decision here as it implies forms of hatred/anger, which I don't believe is the case in my situation. Since it happened naturally, I don't have feelings of guilt or regret.

This is missing their point: you can distinguish the two potential causes by comparing lung cancer incidence rate through time for smokers versus non-smokers.

If nuclear tests are a significant factor in lung cancer rate, we should still see a correlation between lung cancer incidence and nuclear test frequency when looking at people with no exposure to cigarette smoke. If the correlation in the general population just a coincidence, we should not.
The list seems to intentionally avoid well-known delicious, popular spots (the aviary, au cheval, pequods, minghin, serai) in favor of hole-in-the-wall places which might not be as good but have edgy, hidden, or traditional vibes to them (violet hour, Marie's, Nicky's hot dogs). I do like some of the picks (Birrieria Reyes de Ocotlán is amazing) but there's a lot to be desired. Only one restaurant from Pilsen? And Al's beef... really?

Then again, it would be damn tough to conglomerate a restaurant list for the city of Chicago that pleases everyone. Thanks for sharing, it was fun reading through these nostalgically.
But here you go:

>"the lung cancer mortality rate has risen substantially between 1914 and 1968 among persons who never smoked cigarettes. For white males the relative increase for ages 35--84 years has been about 15-fold; the relative increase for ages 65--84 years has been about 30-fold."

Uber's competitors aren't trying to get into self-driving car business.

If you're talking about investing in antisocial companies, then I guess investors' mentality might change if we somehow puncture the abstraction layer that separates the investors from the people their investees affect. For instance, if the investee breaks the law and gets fined, if there was a chance for that to flow back to the investors and take some extra money out of their pockets, I expect they'd put extra pressure on investees to behave.

ARIN Wants Mandatory IP-Address Whois Registry to Police Piracy
> America set the precedent with arresting foreign nationals for breaching US laws while on foreign territory with Dmitry Sklyarov

It set the precedent for arresting foreign national for breaching US laws while on foreign territory considerably before Sklyarov's arrest in 2001; some notable prior examples include Humberto Alvarez Machain (1985) and Manuel Noriega (1989), though they weren't the earliest, either.

Insofar as Sklyarov's case was notable, it was more because the charged offenses were completely legal where they occurred, not because they were allegedly committed by a foreign national outside of the US.
You have to include all the energy that went into feeding the cow over the period of its life.
A programmer likes to learn new things all the time and sees the joy in writing the same code in a new language/framework for the n-th time.
A problem solver sees that it is pointless. You are just doing the same things over and over again and the shiny new thing is not that special.
You must rediscover the joy of learning new things. Try a new language or a hobby. Try some new food. Experience new things.
Programming requires true grit because the real work is not that exciting. Coding is just a small part. So you have to accept that to make great things you have to do a lot of boring work. And that great ideas are not worth that much without the ability to implement them.

Yup.

I always found the narration of Uber the Underdog going against the Evil Taxi Mafia to be funny. In reality, the only mafia-like player in this story is Uber - the multinational corporation that fights against multitude of small local players.
In Germany there's at least one other big P&P RPG called "Das Schwarze Auge" (sold in the US as "The dark Eye" iirc and not very successful). I think it's a good system and the lore is pretty nice (even though compared to my child-self I now realized a lot of it is heavily influenced by real world history/cultures).

Which makes me wonder...what are other native language systems that are popular in the country but might not be known outside? My working hypothesis would be that those exist in many countries because P&P RPGs are language driven after all and so native language systems are the most natural tool for storytelling.

Please do share if you're from a non-US country and have an interesting system (and share if it is the go to system over DnD or comparable in popularity).

> Let’s start with Apple’s decision that it will no longer be reporting the sales numbers of the iPhone. Given the flat annual sales of the iPhone since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launch, the story about rising numbers no longer belonged to the actual unit sales, it belongs to the increasing margins and increasing average selling price.

> If you’re going to sell success, you need bigger numbers. With the iPhone XS Plus clocking in at $1500 in some configurations the scope for larger margins and higher selling prices is pretty much priced out the market. Hiding the iPhone numbers means that the focus can be placed on the increasing revenue from software and services, rather than hardware revenue.

> Accurate except for: "right wing terror attack". WTF man? It was just one kid going postal.

Three external reviewers hired by the city government disagree: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/amoklauf-oez-muenchen-1...

The only one not agreeing is the Bavarian government because they do not want to admit that after the Oktoberfestattentat and the NSU there has been more right-wing terrorism in Bavaria.

In addition, dubbing terrorists and "school shooters" simply as having "gone postal" is about the most ignorant framing that's possible as it totally ignores the factors that led to the attack (be it mobbing, feeling "sexually underserved" or Nazi propaganda or Islamist propaganda).

Maybe Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes would be an option - I haven't played it, but what I'm reading is that it's a game where one player has to defuse a bomb while the others have to give him instructions.

Show HN: A template engine for Node.js that treats templates as modules
Just like you, I started programming quite young (about 12 when I started) and last year, when I was 26, I was burned out on it for the first time.

It started with me just getting my job done, but not really finding a lot of joy in it anymore and I'm sure the quality of what I did went down as well.

A bit later, I stopped doing side-projects and didn't want to read anything related to it anymore for some time. It was around that time that I realised it's not my job, but the problem was me burning out (I just ended a stressful period in my personal life as well due to a family member passing away).

My solution was to just 'allow' myself to _not_ do anything at home for some time and look for other things to keep myself busy. At first, if I wasn't doing something for side-projects I'd feel guilty, which was an unhealthy attitude.

I started reading fiction (instead of non-fiction all the time) and bought a console for gaming - something I hadn't owned for a decade. Just so I wouldn't be in front of my computer after work, I also took a holiday for a few weeks.

Eventually I started to miss my side-projects, though it actually took a few months before I'd really get into them again. Now I'm only really just getting out of it to be honest, but I'm did rediscover the fun of coding. I'm reading about it again, but alternate between fiction and non-fiction after each book, and I'm having fun programming both at home and at work [most days ;)]

So maybe, as other posters said, you are suffering from (the beginning of) a burn-out. It sucks, but it's not forever.
A GDPR Deletion Request is not a court case, it's a non-formal notification that you want someone to delete data about you.

If someone follows that request and if the EU has jurisdiction are orthogonal issues; plenty of services offered deletion before the GDPR.

The question of jurisdiction will come up if you ignore requests or otherwise violate the GDPR and a national agency that is responsible for handling violations contacts you.

In which case you can still choose to ignore them, if you're not on EU soil, then it's up to the extradition or similar laws on what happens; the agency will likely file a court case (or you file), then the court will handle out the details with your national legal system; in most cases this means nationalizing any punishment. Ie, the court case will be handled and if you don't show up after being invited, will be ruled upon in your absence. Then the fine will be forwarded to your country where the courts in your country with your countries jursdiction will then collect it, probably take a fee and then forward the remainder back to the EU. An alternative outcome would be that the entire court case is moved into your country.

Either way, complying to GDPR-related requests doesn't mean admitting jurisdiction of the EU; disagreeing the responsible government agencies involved is a good way to test if those have jurisdiction.
That's interesting -- doesn't seem to have a graph, but states a significant increase between 1914 and 1967 in nonsmokers. There doesn't appear to be any control for secondhand smoke, however, which could also be a significant factor over that time period.
I've tried and failed to get into some RPG campaigns in a few different systems (my general anxiety didn't help) but I listen to and absolutely adore The Adventure Zone podcast[1].

There's scope for some really wonderful collaborative storytelling in these systems, and the TAZ group are a few brothers and their dad and they gel together perfectly. Helps that they have lots of podcasting experience too, very high quality production.

If you offer a Czech or Polish translation, probably: yes

If you offer a French or Spanish translation: maybe

If you run ads in Germany: certainly

If you advertise accepting Euro: most likely

If you embedded ads from an ad network which sends localised ads to Europeans: most likely

When having a site reporting news on local events in an African municipality most likely not.

There is no clear line, as writing that down is impossible and always requires judgement. Also the question is whether EU can enforce it. If you have no European subsidiary and live abroad there is little they can do.
Web technologies created immense practical usage value right from the start. The fact that cryptocurrencies will do the same is very, very debatable. For now, the only valuable use case I know of is for illegal activities (ransomware, tax evasion, buying illegal stuff). Which is a sizeable market, but not one which is going to see mass adoption.
I don't know if this helps you deal with your situation but this is how I would respond if someone asked do I enjoy coding (delivering software is my profession, bread and butter and I code in my spare time as well now and then).

Personally I originally thought coding as something wonderfull akin to music or poetry. Ok, that got me hooked and started. Now as I've matured a bit I see coding (i.e. the typing part where you manually define the syntax tree with some specific language) mostly as ... typing. What nowadays gives me the kicks is the thing that I create by coding and the concepts I can study.

I get no joy in coding, unless I am building something that delivers value. The value can be end user value, personal learning or just a glint of beauty.

But, no, I would say I enjoy just "coding" anymore. To me it feels like asking from a literary author do they enjoy typing. It's a part of process of creating value, but only a part of the process.

When I code in my spare time I don't think I spent the time coding. I think I spent it investigating an algorithm, or delivering a fun software, or solving a math puzzle.

It’s not a direct solution to this, but take a look at Snowflake. You can partition off subsets of the DB and provide direct SQL access to just that part, for either internal or customer use. It’s mainly for analytics purposes versus production, but it might handle some light real-time loads I guess.

This right of access to your personal data has existed in the EU for 20 years. This is not new.

And yes, there is a need to verify IDs. Most companies don't have online forms for this so the way has always been to send an email and enquire, or to write on paper with a copy of a valid ID.

This is not new.

The question is whether data submitted under a pseudonym (e.g. forum activity) are actually personal information by law since the individual cannot be identified.

>Concerning the democratic aspect of participating in the online world I think GDPR actually helps, as before it was not possible to reliably get your own data deleted, rectified or transferred, which is not very democratic either IMHO

This is where the GDPR has really helped me. I posted a comment on a blog critical of a government data sharing initiative. Nothing illegal, or questionable - it was a simple two sentence opinion comment which I posted under my real name. I didn't stop to think for a minute that it would cause me any problems.

It did. I discovered that I couldn't get to work on any government projects because when a background check was carried out on me, the above comment was found and according to Revenue (the gov agency responsible for such checks) it indicated that I was hostile to the governments IT plans.

I asked the blog owner (same country as me) to please remove the comment, they refused. So I submitted a right to be forgotten request to Google to stop the blog post appearing in searches for my name.
Totally agree. I feel it is such a powerful feature but so obscure. I have a solution up, taken from other sources, but what's actually happening behind the scenes is kinda mystery to me. Makes me anxious.

Real question: How do you communicate when on the road etc.?
I worked for about a year coding and then switched to hardware/firmware. Because frankly I wasn't really happy just turning out code day after day. Code now is just a means to an end.

I have a couple of friends that found they basically hated coding and switched, one to technical marketing and the other fixes machine tools.
