Problem is banks and similar institutions that "need" this don't really believe they need it, and see such rulings as more anti-American BS. So they find ways to comply that are absurdly minimal, like using Azure datacenters that are only in the EU. This achieves nothing, it's all still a software stack written in the USA, but it lets them tick the box that says "data resident in <European jurisdiction>".

There are ways to run operations in a way that comply with the spirit of these rulings. Hetzner, OVH and other cheap mini-clouds are EU based and have only EU datacenters. Guess where banks want to go? "The cloud" because "the cloud" is "the future" and they institutionally suck at running IT departments of any kind. So they ignore those offerings and find workarounds that let them outsource it all to the Americans who for various reasons just seem culturally better at making software companies.

The other problem that discourages people making EU compliant companies is the term is meaningless. EU is famous for rather weak rule of law. The courts have a history of "discovering" entirely new laws in vaguely written rights or regulations, like the famous right to be forgotten that caused and still causes endless operational pain. Not a law written by any lawmaker, not even the unelected opaquely appointed bureaucrats that write laws in the EU. A law literally invented in the courts themselves.

Because these laws are effectively invented by the courts or by a quasi-government that doesn't really have its own police forces or much of an enforcement infrastructure, this means many EU regulations aren't really enforced. Compliance is kind of on the honour system. So if you're selling compliance, but it costs a lot more than a US based solution that basically ignores these rules whilst claiming they don't, then you'll lose out to your competitors.

The final problem is, again, all this stuff is just legal posturing. The EU has a long history of having intelligence agencies just as aggressive as the NSA, and cutting deals with the USA to get access to US intelligence in return for data (see the SWIFT transfer programme). The EU and its fans like to claim there's some sort of deep cultural difference between Europe and America with regards to privacy, but when you strip away the press releases and look at the actions these countries/EU really make, there's virtually no difference. This is another reason why banks and other firms don't take it too seriously at their core.

>TSMC was also unable to build a competitive high-end SOC. And yet 13 years later, here we are.

I think this doesn't paint an accurate picture. TSMC were "high end" sans Intel. Since you cant Fab with Intel, TSMC was the best any Fabless Vendor could get, now it just happen TSMC is also the best in industry.

Compared to SMIC, they aren't even close to TSMC, nor Samsung, or even Global Foundry. In Tech lead, Volume and yield. To put things into perspective, they will have to accelerate at 2x the speed of current industry's rate for the next 5 years in other to be level with TSMC.

SMIC's 14nm is still no where near Samsung, or even Global Foundry ( GF ). And GF has been shipping 14nm in volume for nearly 5 years now.
iPhones have longevity.

The iPhone 5s from September 2013 has been receiving regular security updates, the latest being iOS 12.4.8 on Wednesday.

It was the first 64-bit phone, and first iPhone (first phone?) with a Secure Enclave.

They can be had for <$100 in good condition.
There was an ancient scam about this. Machine for $50k was preloaded with real $10k. Free money production was slow and when last real bill went out, seller was gone and in safety :-)
Biggest drawback is that DNS based content blocking has no way to apply cosmetic filters.

Ads on platforms that deliver their ads embedded and from their first party domains (think google, facebook, reddit, youtube, instagram, linkedin, amazon, etc.) can not be blocked this way.
My trick is just showing up. I put in 2 minutes a day into my project. You can't work on it without showing up. When you do show up, you won't want to leave. Don't try to do more than 2 minutes.

Make it 2 minutes every day, consistently. It's short enough that you won't have an excuse not to. Don't waste it on planning; it has to be something that actually moves the project along, but you can plan later.

I used to be exhausted after work too, especially with a 3 hour back and forth commute. The side project should energize you, not fill you with dread. There are times when you physically need rest, and you should.
Even a lot of targeted advertisement will not bring a cent on your app, advertisers really have to do better.

He tried to leave the US, but was arrested on his way out and kept under house arrest for 5 years. That's the thanks he got for helping found the US rocketry program, so when he was released, he founded China's rocketry program.

> VSC != VS

Yes, but VSCode offers a lot of the functionality for a lot of the programming languages/frameworks OP mentioned he uses IntelliJ for.
HTML, JS, CSS, Vue, Node, Python are all perfectly useable in VSCode. For stuff like Java and maybe SQL the full version of Visual Studio would be a fair comparison since VSCode's options for that aren't that amazing (imho).
You can avoid that problem by not using node and npm. I have used create-react-app once for a project and that was bad enough for me to stay away from the entire ecosystem.
What you're saying makes some sense - a television broadcast, say, requires effort from a lot of people to produce - and, previously, expensive special equipment to broadcast, though now TV content is often streamed over the web - so it has a level of credibility, the TV news at least can't be spoofed by one person in their bedroom on the other side of the world. (Note that deepfakes may be changing this).

But the world we live in is full of "web services that let people post whatever they want at any time". News from Twitter may be weird but many people want to get their news from the BBC website, or the New York Times, or Reuters or whatever. Or their own government's websites. Just web services that people post from - presumably with levels of editing and checking but all presumably with security flaws that could bypass them.

It's not clear exactly what you're asking for. A technological solution involving careful checking of cryptographic signatures? Or some sort of super-expensive-to-spoof source of all important news?

My wife flew out upstairs from Heathrow to Washington to join me for a short break (I'd been working there for a week) in 2014, which was lovely.

We returned from Baltimore on a 767, immediate response "It's a bit shabby". which even compared with a 747 was entirely accurate.

I still prefer flying out of Baltimore though, much nicer airport, and I seem to get upgraded (either using miles or operational) every time. They've got 787s on the route now - was supposed to fly there this year just as the ban was brought in.
Windows supports POSIX since Windows NT, released in 1993.

WSL is only the realization that Linux killed POSIX and noways the Linux ABI is more relevant than POSIX.

Something that other UNIX clones like Solaris, illumos, SmartOS and FreeBSD also support.
Some of the best people I've worked with were Deloitte people. I hate this generalization of large consultancy firms. Sure, there are assholes, but a large part of the work force is really doing the best they can.

I worked for a small consultancy company (that you could call a startup) on large projects. We delivered a garbage product, after the deadline and way out of budget. Why? Because large companies are really bad at knowing what they need and sales is really bad at telling them that.

No matter how small or big the company, you will see this happening, because there are always incompetent people promising impossible things. Just look at the hundreds of startups that burn money trying to deliver on their promises and end up dying.

Very few news articles are this cut and dried. EG for reporting on an earthquake, fair enough.

However, describing something more contentious like the economy or immigration policy, they absolutely should make a good faith effort to report both sides fairly.

Personally, I believe more and more people will be writing plain CSS as its power rises. These days, if I'm quick starting something and prototyping something before the team takes it over, I stay with just plain CSS. Of course, it is faster and easier for teach new developers with Sass.

Don't take me wrong - I love SASS. Well, I wrote one of the early Less to Sass translator for Bootstrap (I think around 2009) and wrote Sass syntax plugins for the likes of Coda editor.

However, if I want to build something today that needs to stand the test of time, I know I can write in HTML + CSS and it will be still work (likely) a century from now, without me having to re-install NPM Packages and compile my Sass to CSS. Of course, I might garnish it finally with PostCSS to take advantage of the modern tooling and augment the lacking of current CSS.

P.S. Recently, I was trying to update an old project and looks like Sass deprecated node sass in favor of something new. I'm not even able to keep up with which processor is the right one to use!

Smartphone is a necessity. For example, without covid app you cannot go out in many countries. Yes, most people do not need Mercedes- agree.

You can live without mercedes but not without smartphone. Paying for services; employer; calling people; if you swap 3 jobs then you are informed by your boss through WhatsApp or fb (at least in parts of 3rd world - I went through that in the last years).

Of course, there is no obligation for anyone to care about others - let alone mega corporation. Agree to your point.

While the main concept (Don't change your URIs!) is good, I can't agree at all with their advice on picking names, in particular the 'what to leave out' section. No subject or topic? The justification for this is flimsy at best - 'the meaning of the words might change' So what? People cope with this all the time in other media, e.g. old books. It's not too confusing. What's more confusing is a URI that has all the meaning removed, after all this whole URI discussion is about the human appearance of URIs. Take out the topics and you are just left with dates, numbers and unspecific cruft. If I was designing a company's website, I'm sure as hell going to put the product pages under '/products'.

FWIW, the document's own URI is terrible: 'https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI' - who could have any idea what the page is about from that? And what if the meaning of the word 'Provider' or 'Style' changes in x years from now? :) You could argue that the meaning/usage of 'URI' has already changed, because practically no-one uses that term any more. Everyone knows about URLs, not URIs. Not many people could tell you what the difference was. So the article's URI has already failed by its own rules.
>What is the benefit of em/rem?

They (em*) scale with the element's font size, and if you set an elements font-size itself in em, that will be relative to the parent element's font size.

For example:

body { font-size: 18px }
.something { border: 0.1em solid black; }
.something > .inner { font-size: 1.5em }

If you change the font-size on body, everything on that page will re-scale seamlessly. This is most useful for things like buttons/icons that are supposed to flow properly with text. So now even if you use them once in big text, and once in a small footnote, they'll still fit perfectly within the line.

The biggest limitation to this approach is that you can easily end up with computed values that are weird fractions of pixels, so you have to be a bit smart and pick an easily divisible number for your base font-size if you're aiming for something pixel-perfect.

1. It's not Critical Gender Theory, though Critical Gender Theory uses broadly similar definitions for the subset of those things which it thinks are worthy of discussion, it's just the fairly common language to distinguish the innate physical (sex broadly, reproductive function for the particular subset you raised), internal self image (gender identity), externally ascribed status (gender), and behavior (gender presentation), and neutral as to material as opposed to conceptual relationships. CGT is opinionated about the material relationships, holding (as I understand it, but CGT isn't something I've more than casually encountered) that gender presentation is socially learned behavior produced by social gender ideas and other aspects of personal social context, gender identity (which CGT doesn’t, IIRC, talk much about directly, but recognizes insofar as it recognizes that people have a social identity related to the social construct of gender) as a product of gender presentation and social gender stereotypes (reversing a common progressive view that gender identity is a fundamental, immutable or nearly so, aspect of identity amd that gender presentation is an expression of identity, to which social gender images may play a part.)
2. It (my post, not Critical Gender Theory) is not supposed to be scientific; it's pretty much all definition of terms, which precedes the ability to even discuss observations of facts, which in turn precedes the ability to discuss hypothesized generalizations from observed facts and empirical tests of those generalizations.
I haven't met a single person in any IT area who usually works with non-SAP products who likes SAP. Even a lot of the people in the SAP departments dislike SAP.

A few weeks ago my TV set died, so I bought a new one. At the same time I looked for a new motorcycle helmet.

Since then I get tons of adds for TV's and motorcycle helmets that are not available to buy in my country. Useless like a nail in the foot. I never buy something suggested by an ad even if I need such a product, so the ad industry is a huge waste of time, money and neurons.

Fraudsters open bank accounts in other peoples names all the time. The FBI says, if you wire money out the country, it's gone after 72 hours. I think they could do it with some effort and coordination.

I don't really agree with the premise. Sales by definition exploits the fact that the consumer can't differentiate between products on their own. That leaves a lot of leeway for broken software and misleading marketing.

I don't think companies choose to make bad software as a tradeoff. Salesforce had enough budget to build out those features and not be terrible. I think in general, when software is bad it's because the company wasn't able to make it good. And I think the distinction between those categories is important.
I second this. I have worked with a bunch of undergrads (I am pursuing a masters degree in CS) and they had a thorough grasp of the math and could really contribute to the research agenda of the group. When I did my undergrad (in 2011-15), I ended up taking a lot of electronics/hardware courses. Turns out undergrads these days just swap them with math/machine learning courses. Good for them.

> If you gave out a time and materials contract without clear acceptance criteria, testing requirements, and verification / support / warranty detailed, you probably shouldn’t be handling 100 million dollar budgets.

This is the money quote.

Big 4 companies (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) are historically accounting auditing companies. And their culture is heavily skewed towards billing their employees to clients per hour/day, or per unit of service, as auditors and lawyers have been doing for more than a century. It is not in their DNA to "create products" but to "render services"; that is, to sell employees availability. Boundaries and scope of those traditional services are typically clearer than building a new unknown program from scratch.

If you are hiring these firms for exploration of how do you work, how you should work, and a complete functioning system that sustains a big number of new processes that are not yet defined, you are in for a big bill; you better be sure that you have put on the time to think about what you are buying in written form. When you see big failed projects like those the problem lies in that no one stopped to research the complexity of the ask before entering into a contract.

Even then, these consultancies normally are very flexible when a contract is actively harming the client, and the client wishes to change it / stop it (it would not be good for the business to do otherwise, because you want to see more after this contract is finished). When these costs go out of control is because internal politics in the client impede the rational decisions of killing projects, changing command, etc., and the sponsor keeps feeding money into the project to save their ass.

> When using static site generators, it's not even possible to do 301 redirects (you would have to ugly slow JS version).

That isn't always true, depending on your choice of web server. You can use mod_rewrite rules in Apache's .htaccess files so if your generator is aware of previous URLs for given content it could generate these to 30x redirect visitors and search bots to the new right place.

Off the top of my head I'm not aware of a tool that does this, but it is certainly possible. It would need to track the old content/layout so you'd need the content in a DB with history tracking (or a source control system) or the tool could leave information about previous generations on each run for later reading. Or it could simply rely on the user defining redirect links for it to include in the generated site.

Of course if you are using a static site generator for maximum efficiency you probably aren't using Apache with .htaccess processing enabled! I suppose a generator could also generate a config fragment for nginx/other similarly though that would not be useful if you are publishing via a web server where you do not have appropriately privileged access to make changes to that.
