> I found I couldn’t take notes fast enough.

Me neither. However, what I do once in a while is after I've sat through a tutorial (in person or video) I recall and make notes. It helps me immensely to a) Structure my thoughts b) Recall the actual content which reinforces it in my memory.

As a student, I always found that writing notes/answers on a topic/question made me understand the concept that much better as well as connect them to form a larger picture (e.g., connect concepts in math and physics).
So both of these routers are written by Ryan Florence? Interesting, what was the reason behind this? Freedom to experiment in one repo while keeping the other stable?
this is the standard of current debate: "people are more important than ...". Well done! Well done! I guess that does give carte blanch to any and all regulations that can be said to be "for the people", so all of them. Wow, nobody though about this before, really good. You are a master philospher, Sir! Pay no mind though to the people who had arranged themselves in mutually beneficial relations that these regulations hinder or destroy because they are not real people. Only those persons who need their PII "protected" (not from the state of course) are really real anyway.

Idiots like this fool are also running the EU, my god was the internet a great place before his ilk got here.
The (private) key to mass adoption
Kudos to the article for focusing on requirements from the outset, as generally speaking, software development does this all too rarely. I would paraphrase (and slightly alter) the article's recommendations:

1. Write the requirements down at the outset.

2. Rank and prioritize requirements.

3. Reject requirements that are unreasonable (for now), but keep a record of them in case that changes.

4. Try not to make rejected requirements fundamentally impossible in the future.

How does a forum mostly made of software engineers hate opt-out telemetry so much? How do you know how well your software is doing in the wild without knowing about 1) Crashes with stack traces 2) which features actually get clicked on. How do you make decisions without this information?

Example - Mozilla is going to remove support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 [1]. A good change, we can all agree. But what if half their user base was relying on this feature? Can they still remove it? Should they commission a user survey asking everyday users about TLS? Fortunately, they have telemetry that tells them that only 1.2% of all connections are made with these versions of TLS. Cool, this change can go ahead.

If you were in charge at Mozilla and you don't want to collect opt-out telemetry, please tell me how you would have made the TLS decision.

Literally what are you scared of that telemetry will send? If you're so concerned about it, why don't you just opt out?

Well consumers can still give information to google if they want to, gdpr does not disallow it.

What is now forbidden is to gather identifiable data about people without consent and ability to remove it.
A lot of traditional European dishes (inc Swedish meatballs) mix minced pork with a darker meat, usually beef or veal. You get the savoury flavour and colour from the red meat and the mild flavoured fat from pork. It's a similar affect "grain fattened" beef produces in a single animal, but the animal doesn't need to be an obese cow.

If you have venison in a resteraunt, it's often rare steak dishes. It's cooked rare because it's so lean, and dries up when cooked for longer. Usually the meat is trimmed, because the fat/grisle isn't as good as beef (in ye old times, venison fat was used for tallow candles instead of lard) But, not every cut is steak.

If you make sausages or minced meat dishes (meatballs, etc.) from venison, cutting it with pork or pork fat makes it much more suitable for most recipes.

Lying to consumers is not ok, but combining venison and pork is legit. My guess is that it's traditional.
The irony of this statement.
Yes, you need consent. That's the point. That's good for us, the users. Services can still do all what they did before, but we need to agree.

This doesn't work for data gathered on humans, which has to be kept private.

Unless you have implemented some new method, I don't see why the code would be of any interest.
I don't agree with this. Perhaps it's possible for someone with exceptional LaTeX and vim knowledge, but even after using both for 20 years I wouldn't do this.

The point of the lecture is to assimilate structure and basic understanding, not to produce a neat set of notes instantly. To take notes to this detail means you're putting more time into the note taking than the work.

Use a pen and paper. Write down structure as it happens. Write down things you understand, short hand. Write down things you don't for later review. After 2 hour long linear circuits lectures I regularly waltzed off with a couple of pages of loose A4 for review. A lot of the time, our lecturers would give us a copy of the OHP stack if we asked them as well.

Write your notes up at the end of the day with reference material at hand and no compromises. You can structure, extrapolate and transform things into your own understandable language then.
The only example I can think of is Gab, which became a “cesspool for the alt-right” because it specifically marketed itself to that demographic.

Interestingly he uses pretty much the same techniques that I relied on when typing lecture notes with Word:

- Formula auto-buildup with automatic replacements of \stuff with Unicode keeps the mess of backslashes and braces more readable (and it also allowed me to immediately spot where I mistyped something)

- I used snippet-like things for parts I had to type a few times, such as a formula that's revisited a handful of times alter.

- Some things are simply easier to type in Word (with UnicodeMath) than LaTeX, such as a^12 being automatically what a^{12} is in LaTeX or fractions being written as a/b, thus requiring fewer braces. Also, as a user of a non-US keyboard layout back then, UnicodeMath's use of () instead of {} for invisible grouping and automatically resizing parentheses meant a lot less typing in general and less syntax to inadvertently break the layout.

The only thing I could not do in real-time was figures where I often did a quick sketch on paper and in the evening converted that into a nice drawing. But text and math was (at least for me) easily writable in real-time and generally required no post-processing or prettification. Assigning certain styles to keyboard shortcuts was also something the author probably used snippets for, but the end result for the typing experience is pretty much the same.

I did write notes by hand the preceding year, averaging about 7 pages of notes per lecture. Others have mentioned it too, the very act of writing notes helps remembering. For the handwritten notes I could just as well have bought the book by the professor, but I didn't do that on purpose. For me, there was no difference in being able to remember my notes between handwriting and typing. And generally I did spend most of the lecture writing and understanding came later when solving the assignments.
UK Parliament petitions website down amid overwhelming brexit rejection
The UK parliament petitions website is currently experiencing intermittent outages in response to the support of a petition to cancel Brexit, responding to many requests with "502: Bad Gateway".

The petition is the largest of its kind to date, with over 600,000 signees in 24 hours.

Petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

I'm getting 502.

The question is, is this a metaphor for the govt and country, or the website struggling under the weight of traffic.
They do. A trivial example is input recording for replays -- if you don't have a very similar FP implementation, the replays will desync: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxGg1TCpYrc

Yep, the article 13 is beyond dumb.
It must be admitted that I got a lot quicker at taking notes in a very short time!
That's not fully accurate either. All that you wrote is true, but user's permission must be freely given - this means access to the service cannot be restricted if user refuses to give permission (as long as that permission isn't strictly required to provide the service itself, but then probably permission is not the right basis for processing data).

Why would you torture yourself like this? In mathematics understanding is everything, and using the time to listen carefully and understand is more important than having perfect notes, handwritten notes are quite enough.

The interesting question to me is why people in earlier times valued gold at all (i.e. before understanding its uses in electrical circuits, etc.). Why would people care for it? I mean, OK it doesn't rust, but why's it so special?
Dudeo, people are just going to sign up, get their money back for their data, then ask you to delete the data right away. You have to still provide the service, just now for free.
Like I said, my knowledge is rusty.

I've gotten pure states mixed up with |0>, |1>

I believe what it's saying is that with a mixed state |a|^2 + |b|^2 does not need to equal 1.

So pure states are a|0> + b|1> where |a|^2 + |b|^2 = 1
> How does a forum mostly made of software engineers hate opt-out telemetry so much?

Perhaps you’re assuming too much. I’d class this forum more as a “tech enthusiast and startup” forum. A lot of software developers, a lot of hardware developers, and a lot of conscious users of both.

I do agree with what you’re saying though. When I was doing open source things, I sometimes joked about how much easier it would be with some telemetry.

One time, me and someone else spent a day of testing and not doing anything, while in the back of my mind I just wished I could look at a database to see the results from users. Then we all could’ve just made things better.

Product Management as a Service (for startups and scale-ups)
i know a ton of people who would, as far as im aware the US is significantly cheaper than the UK in pretty much all areas, that $34k translates to about £25k which is not a bad basic wage. i imagine a lot of the people stacking shelves or cleaning toilets for minimum wage would much rather be coding for more money.
During early tasting panels when they were adding real vanilla to some UK ice cream products there was confusion among the people running them, because nobody was mentioning the black flecks. Eventually they asked people if they'd noticed them - they had, but had assumed they were dirt/a flaw in the batch, and had been too polite to mention it ...

Content Marketing KPI’s: The 5 Big Metrics That Indicate Content Success
A product is one part of a business. It isn't everything.

I built a product, and I've managed to sell it to some companies and turn it into a small business. It's been making me some pocket money for about 18 months now. But still, when I think about it, I'm always excited to get up in the morning and hack on the project. What I'm not excited to do, is to pick up the phone and sell it to people.

I realised this towards the tail end of 2017, and decided I should co-found companies instead. I can take care of building the product, and my co-founders can do the business/sales/marketing stuff that I hate doing.

I've since started two companies with co-founders. I found all of them (or rather, they found me) through Co-Founders Lab (I have no affiliation with CFL, and I don't pay for my account, and they don't pay me).

One of the projects is bootstrapped; I put my time into writing the code, and my partner has put about £10k into various costs, and he's spent his time negotiating deals with companies.

With the other project, I am writing all the code (at least for now), and my partners are pitching investors and building business relationships with what will be our first beta users. We have funding committed from investors, and we have large companies who have agreed to be beta partners.

Would I ever have achieved this on my own?

No. Never. No chance.

And these fake, shaped baby carrots are truly vile. No taste, disgusting texture.
Yes definitely. The degree varies by establishment. Most of the shops downtown -- the art stores, rock shop, gift and clothing shops in particular -- are utterly dependent on tourism. Locals don't buy local art and crafts, and they don't buy leather jackets and hats tastefully embossed with the town's name.

The town's grocer is pretty dependent on vacationers. Locals do more of the 45 minute drive to Walmart once a week.

The restaurants in town get more local business, but I'm aware from comments and reviews that our guests eat out a lot. Even with a full kitchen, it's common for people to eat out more on vacation than they would normally at home, especially when the restaurants are seen to be part of a town's charm and reputation. Which is why I put out the menus on a side table in my home's entryway, just like the hotels do in their lobbies.

When we bring family there, we eat out a lot. We walk downtown to get ice cream in the little candy store. We never do that at home in Denver. I don't take the kids to ice cream at home. That's what vacations are for! I say, "You are naughty, awful, disappointing children, but if you be good from now on maybe we'll go on vacation again and get ice cream". I know I'm not the only one.

VAT is very far from simple across the EU and there have been recent changes for online shopping (depending on the amount/turnover per year if might be necessary to charge VAT based on the buyer residence instead of company registration)

Another instance in most EU countries tips (in restaurants/bars) should be subject of VAT, not in the UK for instance.

Different exceptions for deductibles like water for employees (but not coffee and so on)
Of course you are correct that the things you have just mentioned require some knowledge of the laws governing personal information. I just dispute the notion that this is required or even healthy.

If you are of the position that the popular extremely invasive form of "marketing" is something that absolutely has to happen, then what I say will never apply to you. Especially as it pertains to it being self-evident that you're not violating anyone's rights.
I think it all depends on how far you want to stretch the definition of "simple". I run a sole proprietorship and don't have to worry about national VAT until I cross a certain threshold. However, if I do business with customers in another EU state, I immediately need to account for VAT and report it.

Add to that mistranslated directives (!), misinformed and uncooperative tax officials and you quickly realize that both "ease of doing business" and the single market are all a bunch of baloney. If I ever launch a B2C service, you can bet your ass I won't be aiming it at the EU market. I'll leave that for when I can afford an expert to handle all the bureaucratic nonsense that doing business in the EU involves.

GDPR was never meant to help business. It was intended to protect individuals from business.

Honestly, if your business can't survive without adhering to basic data protection principles then the world is better of without your company.

I know of numerous photographers who find their work ripped-off; without copyright protection they would have no comeback on that.

> Literally what are you scared of that telemetry will send?

This is dangerously close to a “nothing to hide” argument. The issue with telemetry is that it’s difficult to do it right, and often it ends up just siphoning data that ends up being abused or mishandled. Having this be opt-in raises questions of consent.
