At this point I would simply wait the 30 days or whatever they have to respond and if they don't, complain to your data protection commissioner. They could get hit with a big fat fine for it, so its in their interest to make sure they respond correctly and don't send you around in circles.
Is there a reason why the numbers aren't scrambled? This way you at least wouldn't be able to tell the password unless you saw the actual numbers.

For my part, I'm never interested in blanket comparisons of what language is faster, but it is worthwhile to mention specific features and how they impact performance.

For example, in Python you can talk about the GIL and pointer chasing. But you can also talk about Cython. It turns out that, for me, Python's FFI is a really important factor, and a big reason why it's much easier for me to get good performance in Python than it is in Java: It makes it easy to interact with C libraries without taking a big hit on marshaling data in and out of Java's managed heap. (This is, incidentally, a major factor in Python having so thoroughly supplanted Java in the ML/BI/DS/analytics space.) But there are other situations where Java would be the clear winner.

My favorite performance comparison between languages ever was the one that Raymond Chen and Rico Mariani did on implementing a practical program in C# and C++. [1] As it turns out that, at least as of 14 years ago, C++ is faster than C#, and C# is faster than C++, under different circumstances. You've really got to pay attention to which ones matter most to you before deciding where to place your bets, and just paying attention to rankings on The Computer Language Benchmarks Game is a sign that you've tried to jump to the answer without really taking enough time to understand the question.

Well, much like a service dog (or a horse!), you'd have to train the rat, and feed it, and change its cage. It would be less expensive to care for than those larger animals for sure, but still a hassle.

Interesting world to imagine though!
Thanks. We will revisit opt-in vs. opt-out, especially for self-hosted installations.

We didn't expect praise for more telemetry from the developer audience but we did underestimate the reaction. There were many more concerns than we expected. We’re going to process the feedback and rethink our plan. We will not activate tracing on GitLab.com or GitLab self-managed for now. We'll make sure to communicate in advance on our blog when we do have a new plan.

No, it is not. These sorts of "I'm annoyed that I'm being forced to put in a password so I'll put the easiest one to type" passwords are in even the most basic password dictionaries, and are therefore susceptible to dictionary attack.

I have worked with a few alpha types who considered themselves too important to waste time memorizing a password. I'm not sure if it's the case here, but I'd guess that brand of entitlement has a higher incidence rate within the halls of congress.
Forgive the useless quip, but it's a shame Jimmy Savile couldn't be alive to see his two worlds collide like this.
everyone praising Gitlab? No, not at all.
Yes, this is true. To my way of thinking, the real fight over central banking is the massive wealth granted to the government via seigniorage. That wealth belongs to the sovereign, which in a republic like the US is the people. However, the people never directly benefit from that wealth. I think people understand this underlying truth and are angry about so much usurpation and thievery done in their name.

Meanwhile, it benefits the recipients of that wealth and power to remain silent and mock their adversaries, because they can only stand to lose their privilege.
Yeah, I don't really get the point of mentioning something like this. Does anyone expect them to say, "Yeah, we moved because we don't want to pay to help the homeless." PR 101.

This is why I’m skeptical (as much as I’d like not to be) about self-driving cars. Black-hat SEO, intentionally incorrect metadata, it’s why we can’t have nice things and it will impact self-driving cars as well.
That's not how liability works. People within the business will be on the line if the business is acting criminally.

I can't imagine a more annoying feature. My bank already does this where I cannot use the keyboard to type in digits, I have to use their own on-screen keyboard that's scrambled between every digit(!!!) and I can't imagine anything like that anywhere near my phone. Either pin-based protection is good enough for you, or if you need more security then switch to full a-Z password.
uBlock can work that way with medium mode too. Though it's still a bit less specific in it's permission than uMatrix, because you can't choose the type of content.

> the unintended acceleration panic was not a real mechanical issue

Wasn't it software? Isn't that just as "real"?

> Toyota was not at fault

Uh...

A subsequent investigation[47] by Safety Research[48] of the NTHSA/NASA report along with information from Barrs report[49] and Koopmans report[50] revealed that bad software design, antiquated ECU hardware fueled by a poor company culture were the likely cause of the SUA in the Toyota Camry incidents.

In April 2013, Betsy Benjaminson, a freelance translator working for Toyota to translate internal documents, released a personal statement about Toyota covering up facts about the sudden unintended acceleration problem.

This leak of internal documents fueled a criminal investigation by the FBI and the Justice Department that had been ongoing since 2010,[52] and on March 19, 2014, the DOJ issued a deferred prosecution agreement with a $1.2 billion criminal penalty for issuing misleading and deceptive statements to its consumers and federal regulators, as well as hiding another cause of unintended acceleration, the sticky pedal, from the NHTSA.[41] This fine was separate from the $1.2 billion settlement of a class action suit paid to the drivers of Toyota cars who claimed that their cars had lost value as a result of the SUA problems gaining publicity in 2012, and was at the time the largest criminal fine against an automaker in US history.[53] Toyota was also forced to pay a total of $66.2 million in fines to the Department of Transportation for failing to handle recalls properly and $25.5 million to Toyota shareholders whose stock lost value due to recalls. Nearly 400 wrongful-death and personal injury cases were also privately settled by Toyota as a result of unintended acceleration.[53]
Github is already collecting limited client-side telemetry. Open the network tab in your developer tools and you'll see a request to collector.githubapp.com on every page load that includes details like your screen resolution.

To make this idea more concrete: why not use the brain of the rat (or any similar animal) in place of the NN, I.e. remove the brain in embryo stage and train it with visual stimuli relevant to the problem to be solved.

I’d wager that a rat brain would be more powerful than any state of the art AI systems in solving complex tasks such as this. How to sustain it biologically and train using optical paths are complex problems but I could be easier than training the animal and much more scalable: make NN layers with these brain-based nodes.

At a previous place, we had one single card for everything: enterprise restaurant, parking entrance, building entrance, Windows session, S/MIME signature & decryption... You were more or less unable to work without that card, so it was immediatly obvious if a card was missing.

I also agree with the conclusion (the risk of unreported lost cards outweighs the cost of a new key card).

>Phone passwords are for protecting things from your family.

I think what you actually mean is anyone who has physical access to your phone. If you lose your phone or it is taken by authorities, then you are at risk of having strangers access your data.
It's certainly possible - saw a documentary once about some rats that cooked so well they wowed a top restaurant critic.
Sure, but if your angle of attack is "someone swiped my phone off my desk and wants to unlock it within the next 30 minutes before I wipe it remotely" then 111111 is as good as literally any other 6-digit pin code, unless the attacker just tries 111111. In which case 999999 is probably a better choice.
Mind on Scriptures
How many of those people were reading every article end-to-end, rather than flipping through from one subject to another? I certainly didn't read newspapers that way, and they don't really seem like they're laid out to accommodate it.
Part of the issue is that Gitlab's approach signals a "we don't know what we don't know" problem.

Enterprises have been dealing with GDPR, CCPA, and data privacy issues for several years now. The apparent fact that Gitlab doesn't recognize when they're running afoul of opt-out standard practices mechanisms, and has those vulnerabilities appearing to be not caught during the SDLC is probably causing a lot of second guessing of competency by your more mature customers.

edit: This isn't a problem unique to Gitlab. Microsoft, for example, has encountered and dealt with this problem (telemetry privacy issues) as well (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ie/DeployOffice/privacy/overvi...). Search for "Microsoft Dutch DPIA" for all the sordid detail.
> Official estimates place the total Ainu population at 25,000, but unofficial estimates place its total population at 200,000

Meanwhile there are 10M people living in Tokyo. If all Ainu people of Japan lived in Tokyo, how likely would it be for me to meet one?

Also, there were 30M visitors to Japan last year.

So if one doesn't know and one is making a guess, what is more likely? Foreign visitor or a member of a tiny local minority?
Fair enough - we need to limit the vote to the responsible voters only - for the safety of the people.
We and most of the parents we know probably spend more time talking about the crappy bits of parenting than how awesome our kids are. The single best part of doing anti-natal classes was meeting a small group of people who were all going through the same kinds of stuff we were. Knowing "It's not just me" is a really big help coping with some of the tougher stuff.

We do still talk about the good stuff, but we all know they are awesome.

Thankfully most of my FB friends are pretty light on the performative parent posting. The ones who go in for that also tend to be the one who overdo the posting generally.

Sorry if I did not understand your example, are you afraid of companies offering a webpage for configuring your printer/drone/device instead of a stand alone application, Then if the site goes down you can't configure your thing?

If this is the case then you are asking to not allow features for the good developers because bad/lazy developers exists.

I have a Canon printer that works fine on Linux but I do not have the GUI executable like on Windows, so one day it did not work anymore, I had no idea what to do so i installed the driver on a Windows VM , let the VM to access the printer and I got a diagnostic (I forgot to open a tray thing). So for this case if the printer devs could make this diagnostic tool as a webpage or Electron app would have helped me a lot (I was lucky I already had a Windows VM)

From what I've read, Mozilla can't really optimize rendering to the level of Safari & Edge. I found this article[0] on WebRender to be very interesting on this front. The author noted-

"Note: Painting and compositing is where browser rendering engines are the most different from each other. Single-platform browsers (Edge and Safari) work a bit differently than multi-platform browsers (Firefox and Chrome) do."

I love Firefox quite a bit, every detail, the way it scrolls with smooth scrolling off, the dedicated search bar for switching DuckDuckGo bangs, the container support. The dedicated search bar is a huge one, I can't imagine why no one else at least offers that, as a feature it can't cause that much maintenance headache. I definitely love FF as much as anyone here but I'm not one who argues that Gecko is necessary for a standards-based web, I'm not convinced by the argument. Webkit can be forked again and it has a significant userbase to act as a counterweight to Blink. It's increasingly difficult at this point to convince myself that native browsers don't make the most sense.

WIP: The Librem Phone devkit can run Ubuntu Touch (the ubports teams is waiting the final device to make sure everything inegrates well, so it need more work)

WIP: The Pine Phone is, too, having ubuntu touch

blocker? when you want to port a new device, you will need time, patience, and knoweldge. The team always welcome new people that want to port a new device ;)

So yep if there is a need of more contributor to port anywhere the project, you also need good devices documentation from manufaturers, hoping there are no dark blobs (spoiler-alert: everywhere), etc. To avoid most of this, ubuntu touch use lxc, many things, and halium, if you are interested into that stuff, have a look at http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html
Yeah, we’re trying to make datasource query latency more obvious soon. It’s too easy to say Grafana is slow right now. We want users to make better decisions on what to optimize in their monitoring stack. That being said, dashboard search can be slow on bigger instances. But we’re working on it.
Grafana and graphite are what makes managing large infrastructure manageable.

I was introduced to grafana in early 2014. I was a bit sceptical as I was using graphitus to make dashboards. However I soon converted.

I maintained a very large graphite cluster at the Financial Times (I think it was about 1 million active metrics, but it might have be 0.5 mill, I forget) The only sane way to manage the front end was using grafana. Simple oauth2 integration meant that I could avoid the nightmare of trying to get AD access, and it also mean't one click SSO.

Grafana was one of those tools that was self evidently the best in class, so it was widely adopted. Within two years, virtually every team screen had grafana on it. Non programmers used it, and even set alerts. How many other "devop" tool can boast that level of universality?

Either way, keep up the good work, and best of luck.
That approach allowed domain spammers to (unintentionally?) disable access to content that predates their ownership of the domain, so it was a garbage approach. In the current situation, a content owner can still achieve removal, but a subsequent owner of the domain cannot. That's how it should be. If I buy domain x, I should not be able to request the removal of content that was present on domain x before I owned it.
Native mobile apps have their permissions and access managed by the system, and are at least minimally inspected and approved on the system app store.

I'm really not sure I want my browser managing a second tier of these permissions, especially as it runs arbitrary code downloaded from the net. Maybe it's an artificial distinction, but I'd rather keep "code I stumble upon without even realising by browsing the web" very separate to "Things I give device access to".
Based on the places you like, you're more of a temperate/tropical preference person and enjoy the wildlife and greenery associated with those places. For others like myself, beauty is in the desolate solitude of places like Alaska, New Zealand's south island, and Iceland. To your point, though, you definitely pay a price to get that kind of environment and it's not for everyone.
I totally get where you're coming from, but the full sentence is:

> Otherwise [outside a set of very specific circumstances], please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

I'm not sure what would count as "specific circumstances". One could argue though that the original title was "editorialized", since GitLab has an incentive to soften the blow of the news, especially since the original title doesn't tell much about the news itself (what is the important update)?
>But I wonder if a city could ever follow the model of Atlanta and try to build a "new Silicon Valley" from scratch with aggressive policies that lure companies/employees from existing tech hubs?

It's totally possible. I think the problem right now is that for profitable tech companies, right now engineers are still super cheap (like most of big tech makes rather more than 500K per employee, and pays less than $250K.) - from that perspective, it doesn't really make sense to try to save money on employees... the opposite, really. If they have to pay another $100K/head 'cause the cost of living is so high, that's a smaller bite than anything that might disturb the massive profit. (this is also the root of the argument that we should unionize, even though we make silly money compared to most other workers. Facebook captures a lot more of the surplus value created by labor, say, than Walmart does, even if by any other reasonable standard, we are treated so much better than a walmart floor associate. I mean, I'm not arguing for or against unionization, I'm just saying that's why some people want to unionize even though we already are better off than nearly any other class of worker.)

The other thing to think about is Detroit. Detroit was totally one of these cluster cities; it was the place to be if you were working with cars in a period when there was a lot of innovation to be had in cars. And then the industry changed (or rather, innovation slowed a lot... like, there just wasn't that much more you could do with cars; just small incremental improvements) - automobile manufacturing scattered to the wind and Detroit is kind of a husk.

Will that happen to the software industry? will innovations start being small and predictable? will the P/E of Facebook drop to match the P/E of Ford? I mean, silicon valley has already been through one of these changes; silicon valley is called silicon valley 'cause they used to make the silicon here, and they've really successfully switched to writing software.

I mean, I'm personally long silicon valley (and while I think it's overvalued now, I think it's a good long term bet) - I think it will turn out more like New York than like Detroit, but... who knows?

Funnny the seemingly small things we trip over. While still using Chrome on desktop, I switched to Firefox on mobile because of their add-on and specifically ublock origin support.

My biggest issue with it ? When at the top of the page, dragging from top to bottom doesn't trigger a refresh of the page like in other browsers and many apps. I know it's a very petty complaint, but somehow it's major for me.

Still staying with it though, adblocking is even more mandatory on mobile than on desktop ...
