Don't blame the regulation, blame everyone who is trying to get you to click the consent button.

Cookies are a simple yes/no question, with the default answer being no. If everyone did what's in the users' best interests, it would be a non-issue.
I see you saw the response on the issue, for anyone else this was the response:

The golden rule is the less you have to clear() and redraw the insides of the graphics the faster it's going to be as pixi.js has to convert your draw commands to triangles to pass to WebGL, if you're just moving the position of something it can use the already calculated triangles and just add an offset before drawing whereas previously you were generating new triangles and hardbaking the position into the triangles each frame.

Because you move each rectangle at a different rate I used a separate graphics instance so that we could move them without having to redraw them.
the page loads without any tracking cookies etc...

on that page there is a login/register button..

registration processes gets consent for any personal information storage and processing..

where do you see the issue? not tracking people and cookie consent etc. only ever seem to be an issue if you are trying to silently track people, i have not seen any issues when you actually genuinely seek consent

Somewhat ironically a consent wall is exactly what TechCrunch presents to an EU visitor the first time, and there's no opting out; only way to get past the consent dialog is to consent.

I know this especially well because I automatically clear all browsing data each time I close my browser, and techcrunch.com is one of the domains I avoid on HN because of the more annoying "welcome" on any page. (edit: +n)
It baffles be that people are mad at the GDPR for making websites be clear about how they share your privacy data instead of being mad at websites for not changing the way their operate in order not to need such a pop up in the first place.

NoScript goes a pretty long way to making the web usable again, especially on mobile (attn web developers: don't like people using noscript? it's your fault. fix it.). There's also this, although I can't vouch for it personally: https://www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu/
That's the whole point - making it not too affordable so that users browsing the App Store don't have to wade through too many nonserious hobbyist apps. Lowering the bar too much hurts users.

I mean, all this is about mass distribution to unsophisticated consumers, not hobbyists - without that $99 you can work on your hobby projects and you can share them with other hobbyists; the only place where that $99 is a barrier is the distribution channel to non-hobbyist users.

In essence, the message from Apple to hobbyist developers is to 'go big or go home' - if you're seriously developing something useful, then $99 is insignificant; and if the time effort you're putting in that app is not much, much more than $99 then it's reasonable to draw a line that they don't want such hobby projects on the app store. You can experiment with it and share it in small communities and when (if!) you think this project has become serious enough to go beyond hobbyists to the mass market, only then you need to pull out that symbolic $99 to demonstrate that you mean it.
Ah, I guess my configuration file is too old :-D

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I also prefer Inkscape over Gimp, but they have completely different use cases.

Inkscape is for vectors (almost anything created primarily on a computer) while Gimp is for rasters (when your input consists of pixels - eg a photo).
we already have that. it’s called your cookie settings.
I've been saying this for years. Cookies are already a browser feature. Browsers just need to expose a little more control over it
That's not true. It forces the site owner to provide content under its own terms as long as its terms does not involve non necessary functionalities provided by other companies. You can still enforce you own terms, but you can't enforce the GAFA cookies at the same time.

Said otherwise, your terms of service must be privacy-sensible, which is indeed the very goal of the law.

I think that people who really embrace the free software philosophy will continue to use Linux. I used Linux for years and I really enjoyed it on several levels.

In my opinion, WSL2 is leveling out the playing field between Windows and MacOS. If you were doing web development (and many people are) it had always been so much easier to get up and running on a Mac. MacOS had native versions of all the stuff web developers use (Python, Ruby, PHP, etc.), on Windows things were always surrounded with a haze of "unsupported" and "non-standard". WSL2 doesn't entirely resolve this issue but it goes a long way towards getting it done.

For myself, I have to do a lot more native Windows development and have had to switch from using Linux at work to Windows (running Visual Studio in a VM under Linux all day just wasn't cutting it). Having all the familiar tools available in WSL2 has made the transition much, much easier.

you need session tokens to do useful things on WWW. why is the default no? i want my default to be yes.
So how do you store user information then? Like logins? Sessions? Also rely on cookies. Browser fingerprinting? Great - then you've switched one problem for another.

This entire EU regulation is a non solution to a not really existing problem. Yes, third party advertisers use cookies to track you. But they can build technologies to use something else. In the meantime you are a) breaking the internet b) wasting hours of each EU citizens time every year.

adblockers should at least block these consent popups
Because the alternative is to just accept all or accept none; the publishers do not want an accept none by default because that means they get no relevant data anymore. The consumers do not want accept all because that's what the GDPR is about in the first place.

You're not asking me, but if home users are a target market then it would have to be $1 - $3 dollars per month. I could imagine scraping local events websites, banks, maybe online auctions, etc. When home users subscribed to one or two services, we could get away with $10 monthly. Now, with home users accustomed to $1 apps and subscribing to a dozen different services, $3 is about the maximum before signups drop significantly.
No, it isn't required for sites to have a popup. There's a thousand less shitty ways web devs could implement this, up to and including just not using 3rd party cookies. But that's harrrrrrrrrd so we turned the web into a huge mess of crap.

Isn't that cultural? Cause I find I care a lot more about what people love than what they "do". Ask someone what they do [for a living], and you say "oh that's cool" and conversation is at a standstill again. Ask someone what they love and you'll get a whole different kind of conversation.

They are very different in nature, and by their nature, Gimp is much more used/needed, hence its popularity. Think Photoshop and Illustrator. Photoshop is much much more popular in brand than Illustrator. And actually, Gimp is to Photoshop as Inkscape is to Illustrator, so the analogy is perfect.
I really like Inkscape. I've been using it since the first release in 2003. I do all of my illustration with it. If I need to print, then I will bring the artwork into Illustrator and adjust the colors. Compared to Illustrator, it's very fast and lightweight.

Apparently. What I see is a text simulation of a tweet that is decidedly not a picture.

Nope, which is why I didn't say that. The presented story is that an American company attempts a coup and is both on video and tweets about their involvement, implying this is at the behest of the US Government. This implication is wholly unsubstantiated.
The new version does seem to be a play at creating a walled garden Firefox platform on Android.

Tk4- is a custom "Hercules ready" packaging of the last version of MVS (3.8j, 24 bit, released in 1981) that you're legally allowed to use with Hercules. And probably other nice add-ons around installation, docs, etc.
Yes, but there is no reason that Amazon's self-serve Kindle publishing platform could not support easy updates with automatic notifications to readers (if they opt-in for notifications). Leanpub does it very well.
There is always a balance. One thing to keep in mind though, is that small corrections early on can prevent big problems later. I've seen multiple times where a person was not corrected for what at the time seemed like minor annoyances, but they led to big issues and terminations later.

The old adage comes to mind, "it's not what you say, but what you tolerate". If you communicate a reasonably good standard early on, it is helpful for the entire team.
FreeBSD has a similar syscall translation layer (and has had it for over 20 years). They do it with a team of part-time volunteers. This is enough to maintain basic support, but FreeBSD still lack support for newer Linux syscalls which prevent things like the Linux binary version of Chrome from running on FreeBSD.
Well, the economy is deflating fast, which means the riskfree rate is in the toilet. The current 10% is equivalent to closer to 30%-35% in the early 80s.

The fact that the economy is "pretty bad" doesn't necessarily imply that all rates should be low or high. They can be either very high (inflation) or very low (deflation), and both are not good signs.

If I were writing this, I'd probably write something like "On May x, a remote-code-execution in (all versions?) public salt-masters (not minions?), was unveiled. Shortly thereafter, actual exploitation in the wild is being used. If your salt installation uses a salt-master, and it's internet-reachable, it may already be compromised, along with much your infrastructure. Section 2 is how to see if you are infected, and Section 3 is how to remove the infection."
Ask HN: How to Structure a Development Organisation?
I was in technical support in the beginning of my career. And I remember there were clear guidelines across the industry in how to structure a team (e.g. 'level 1, level 2..', specialists etc..), references to the kinds of tools you need ('a knowledge base', 'a ticketing system') in the form of things like ITIL.

Now in more development orientated roles, I've cobbled together knowledge. I know that some kind of 'source control' is good. I know it's good to have tools to deploy code automatically. But it's effectively self taught.

I wonder if I have gaps in my knowledge on how to structure a development organisation. And whether anything equivalent to ITIL exists, or any books might exist.

I'm looking for the info to be as vendor neutral as possible.
A two party system is literally a failure mode of democracy.
Those are functional cookies, which can be placed without asking for consent. A site that just removes tracking and advertising does not need a cookie consent warning.

They do not ask "can I place cookies"; they ask "Can my third-party trackers and advertisers place markers on your system so that your activity can be tracked across this and other websites".

Don't stare yourself blind on the poorly chosen wording. It's not the "cookie law" either, it's the General Data Protection Regulation. It's not about cookies, it's about regaining control over your personal data, your online behaviour, etc.
I'd really like to see an addon that just blocks the css overflow attribute. I've only ever seen it used by websites that try to stop people who are blocking their giant modal popups from scrolling.

It might be that I'm dumb and can't figure out how to add a ublock/umatrix rule to block it, but I'd love a single purpose addon that just deletes "overflow:hidden" in all cases.
Generally it will be difficult for older people to find work that is not doable from isolation. Except with an immunity sticker. Because no company would like to take the risk of sending an employee to death.

I need Windows to continue to work on these lame old .Net Framework applications that I have to maintain. I'm working on migrating them to .Net Core but that's not a priority for the company, it's something I do as time and budget allows. Running Visual Studio under a VM in Linux is fine here and there but unpleasant all day long.

I also still need to maintain several Java projects and some tools that leverage Ruby. Using Java on Windows isn't a big deal, but the Ruby tools are aimed at Unix-ish platforms and I find it a lot easier to work with Ruby under WSL instead of messing around with native Ruby on Windows.
Those are all allowed without explicit consent - it's right in the regulation. What isn't allowed without consent is all of the tracking and data-sharing nonsense that isn't actually required for the website to function.

Apple’s move is more about tax optimization. Yes they have all this cash but it’s sitting in accounts all around the globe. They’d have to pay hefty taxes to repatriate it and then pay it out as dividends. It’s “cheaper” for them and better for shareholders to take out a loan (bond) in the US and then take that cash and give it to shareholders than it is to bring the money from around the world into the US and pay it to shareholders.

This is why Apple keeps asking for a “tax holiday” to bring all this money back home to the US.
>I'm a believer that the cure for misinformation is more information.

The idealist in me agrees with this wholeheartedly. I think it's true for people with a certain discipline in their thinking(i.e. scientists, academics and the like), who will always keep their convictions open to new information. But the vast majority of people don't operate that way. People get a certain narrative stuck in their head, and then they filter information to fit that.

Plus, we have access to more information right now than any humans in history, yet the state of human knowledge is still dominated by rumors, myths, tall tales, and mystery. We have all this quasi-religious cognitive machinery and thousands of years of oral culture behind the evolution of our brains. Maybe rational scientific decisonmaking is an anomaly in human history, or even worse, just another myth?

>We cover sports in a way that allows educated and casual observers to enjoy them and learn extreme amount of nuance. How do we apply the same lessons here?

This is an interesting thought. The average American can watch a football play and break down incredibly complex concepts of what just happened. Arguments over what constitutes a "catch" during instant replay often spiral into downright philosophical territory. The difference is that sports happen really fast - and you can watch them live while drinking beer. Maybe we should turn science into a team sport and have them do it in an arena in front of 80,000 people. Bring out some cheerleaders, air all the pickup truck commercials, and Shakira can perform at halftime. The winner gets a big trophy.
