She'd probably prefer this route the most, since she'd ideally not have to move (the FSF-member in me be damned). Is this really a myth? I've heard of so many local councils and other public organisations flocking to Office365 for 'reasons of GDPR'.
The nicest bit for me was where he talked about growing old being a privilege and not to lament every grey hair and wrinkle. Puts it in perspective.

Legal basis is the GDPR, however it's possible to use services outside the UK/EU if similar data protection is possible. For the US this is not the case, at least this is the ruling of the CJEU. Google would have to provide additional guarantees to protect the data.
The case is identical for Microsoft 365.

I would advice for Nextcloud and Onlyoffice. If you are hardcore data protection.

This resonated a lot with me. I spent way too much time trying to find a silver bullet. This one thing that I am missing.

I've never worked in silicon valley so I thought there must be some magic that makes everything better.

But from talking to people in open source related slack groups, on conferences, and to great senior engineers I came to understand that all I was missing was the courage to follow through with whatever ideas I had. No magic solutions. Just hard thinking.

I think you might want to check up on those high standards.

And even without violations like this the regulation is extremely murky and the requirements are laughable the UK standard for free range eggs allows for no more than 13 hens per square meter not only that even if it was accounted for correctly it isn’t any better than regular farming the regulation grants a lot of freedom for how this is calculated and most farms reach that figure by counting in areas that the chickens can’t actually roam in.

But sure if 13 hens per meter is free range to you then yes the U.K. and the EU have very strict regulations indeed.
Most Game Boy cartridges are just a NOR chip accessed through a parallel interface, so the only difficult part would be building the connector, then you could just bitbang to get to the data.

Unless of course you want to actually play the audio on the GameBoy, in which case the very weak CPU and unsuited SPU will make it difficult to achieve anything resembling proper audio. Of course that didn't stop people from trying, with quite impressive results given the limitations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQLTYe0Gn70

Cut work up into small bits, make a simple Kanban board with tasks you've committed to work in. Night and weekend projects are especially vulnerable to starting things and not finishing. If you have a limited commitment of things to do you will get some done and that experience is good for morale.
Major Differences Between iOS and Android App Development
The Arbital entry on Unforeseen Maximums[0] is more pessimistic:

"Juergen Schmidhuber of IDSIA, during the 2009 Singularity Summit, gave a talk proposing that the best and most moral utility function for an AI was the gain in compression of sensory data over time. Schmidhuber gave examples of valuable behaviors he thought this would motivate, like doing science and understanding the universe, or the construction of art and highly aesthetic objects.

Yudkowsky in Q&A suggested that this utility function would instead motivate the construction of external objects that would internally generate random cryptographic secrets, encrypt highly regular streams of 1s and 0s, and then reveal the cryptographic secrets to the AI."

CAPA, static analysis of executable code
the argument is this: certain death vs a miniscule one in a quadrillion chance or lower. It will always tilt the other way no matter what the current scientific status quo is saying because it's possible in theory and it has happened to living organisms before just not humans. Whether it's good for environment, your siblings pocket etc is not part of the core argument.
Back in the day it was easy to make digital copies from CD to MD using an optical (toslink) cable. This method would preserve the track markers accurately which was hugely convenient! It wasn't lossless, of course, since MD is itself a compressed format, but the results were pretty good compared to say the MP3s of the era.
> they have herd immunity now

Please stop spouting nonsense, it is downright embarrassing.

Sweden does not have herd immunity, they had far more cases and fatalities than their neighboring countries and is not to be compared to the US when it comes to geography, education, general demographics and general state of health and healthcare.
It encourages a functional way of thinking, IMO: since you can't have mutable objects, use immutable data structures and functions which alter them, such that where you may have had:

x.f(y)

you now have something like:

x = f(x,y)

I've found that years of functional programming have mangled my brain. Now when I use something like Python, I only use dataclasses and accessor methods on them, or write methods which perform and return the result of some computation based on the values of the object.

Surely mass cryogenics is a non-starter in this day and age when we are concerned with lowering carbon emissions. All that refrigeration in perpetuity would consume so much energy, and keeping the dead frozen would erase the gains that we expect to get from the gradual decline in birthrates.

Another important persistent theme: doping.
Office365 is not a solution under GDPR.

I am in touch with other DPOs and our federal dpos - the big elefant in the room is Microsoft and Windows 10.
Everybody knows that you can't use it if you follow the GDPR or at least you have to jump so many loops that it is practical impossible.

The federal DPOs advice against Teams and OneDrive so Microsoft gets the message but if the CJEU looks at Windows from a GDPR perspective Everybody had to stop using it.
It's been a while since I worked at Bloomberg, but certainly back then, anyone with 2+ years experience was designated a "Senior" hire.

It was (is?) more about distinguishing fresh grads from other hires, and much less about significant experience or seniority within the tech ("R&D") organisation.

Honestly it's a matter of motivation and dedication. Boys like videos games so they end up using either consoles or computers a lot. Some of them want to make their own game and learn programming. Anyone who reads injustice into this doesn't understand anything about humans.

People may think that career choice is something special and magical when it is not.

Let's say you have become a successful developer. Now you want to work on a side project. There are so many choices and possibilities. Most of them are equally good. You choose something. Then you get stuck, bored or the rest of your life gets in the way. You scrap the old thing and do something new. Rinse and repeat. After 5 unfinished side projects you feel like you have accomplished nothing.

The reality is that you didn't actually care about any of the side projects. If you cared about them you would have stuck with them until completion. Making a choice and staying with it is difficult at any stage in your life. Unless... it is extremely obvious and necessary. Suddenly there is no question about it. You you know very little about electronics but think you absolutely need to design a custom PCB for this important project and you're not going to compromise on this at all. You read up on electronics theory for 3 whole weeks without even thinking a single thought about your final design, pick some components and feel lost reading the datasheet. Start up your EDA suite get mad and feel like everything is hopeless the first few days. Two weeks later you have finally designed a good enough schematic and then suddenly everything is easy in hindsight.

You didn't have the qualifications to finish this project but did so anyway, all you needed was a little motivation and dedication.

If there is a need, it will be met. If you think someone should do X, then give them a reason to do X. This applies to "software engineers" and all other professions equally.

The overlap between talented and motivated students exists for a reason. Talent is just motivation in disguise.

Yes. GDPR is the EU regulation, but member countries incorporated it into their domestic legislation. In the UK that's the Data Protection Act 2018.

To remove GDPR from the UK we'd have to change the data protection act.
Thank you for reminding that there exists a browser that is based a Firefox, without the "services" from Mozilla.

As a Firefox user, I will give it a try on desktop and android. But can anybody maybe tell what are the limitations in daily real world use, if any?
So it should be beyond examination or critique?
Writing down the problem always does the trick.
This limitation is far higher for the past few years and there is more work from the OTP team to raise it.

Also there all the hooks needed to adapt and change it as you grow.

"Senior" at Bloomberg certainly used to be (when I worked there) a title used to distinguish between [just-graduated] hires and [everyone else]. The cut-off was explicitly two-years out of university. It had very little to do with true real seniority within the R&D tech organisation/hierarchy.

I'd guess at the poster not quite realising this themselves. It certainly used to be the case that the many fresh new graduates we recruited annually took quite some time to learn how much they didn't know.

The worst time to start thinking about death is when you are facing it.

So let me tell you after thinking about this for the last 50 plus years; There is no birth so there is no death. You think there is birth and death, but it is just a thought. To be alive means you would have had to be dead already for am infinite amount of time before your birth, so what are you scared of?

Maybe we are "dead" right now, and this "life" is the "death" of the infinite life we had before our "birth".

You see, this article is nothing but a fluff piece that just adds more fear and thought into the world. Live your life to the fullest? Ha! Life is for enjoyment? Ha! This is death porn, that's all.
yes, it is

Firstly, the whole 60 days thing is NONSENSE

Your status ends ASAP. The day your job is ended

Secondly, getting H1B transferred is not automatic. You have to get lawyers and have to get it approved

Thirdly, now with so much talk of H1B being ended, and slow approvals, who will take the chance

Fourthly, most H1B are India and China. Both countries' tech firms and countries in general are being attacked by US Government as 'taking US jobs' etc

So all those H1Bs are particularly worried

H1B is basically bonded labor

everyone fixates on - you are taking US jobs and bad mouths them

they are coming here (to the West) to get a good life for themselves

If they do anything that their employer doesn't like, they are screwed and must go back to their home country and give up on their American Dream

*

To give you an idea of how crazy it is, I got a 44% salary increase when switching jobs (H1B to H1B)

That's life as an H1B. You are usually being paid 40% to 60% less than comparable skilled Americans

*

It is a system set up to HEAVILY FAVOR companies. That's why FB, Goog, Etc are screaming about 'competitiveness' . What they really want is

underpaid, trapped, bonded labor who have no choice when it comes to where they work

With extra long H1B and Green Card approval, they are getting 22 to 28 year olds who will have to work for them for 10 to 14 years (if India or China)

What company wouldn't want such amazing terms for hiring people
Honestly I've got ten years of experience by now but I have no clue what "level" of seniority I would be at, because I've never worked at a company that had "levels"; you had roles like front/back-end developer, maybe architect, but not really any formal gradations in between. Pay differences maybe, and skill levels, but those were never formalized.

Is there an online test or something where you can "gauge" what tier you'd end up in a bigger company that has tiers like that? I'm not convinced I'd end up anywhere at the top because I lack things like knowledge about compilers or algorithms, things I just don't need to know in my day job.

> Even you seem to be confused by the compiler proper (cc1 or cc1plus) and the front end (the part of each compiler that parses the code and builds an internal representation that then gets passed on to the middle end for optimization and the back end for register allocation and instruction generation).

Sure, the cc1 and cc1plus binaries come with a middle and backend linked in, but what differentiates them is the front end. Not so much for gcc and g++ where both `gcc file.cpp` and `g++ file.cpp` will invoke cc1plus. Not to mention that with LTO cc1 and cc1plus do almost exclusively front end work while everything else happens in lto1 (for both C and C++).
Thanks a lot for the feedback. We will work on improving it.
I think people forget just how new the web industry is. The web itself has literally only existed since 1992. It's only been commercially viable to charge people for websites since around 1995. Web development in the modern 'building apps that are accessed in a browser' sense has only been done for about 20 years. If you're talking about 'single page apps' that drops to about 10 years.

Someone with 2 years experience in web development has been working in the industry for 10% of the entire time the industry has existed. If they've got a 3 year degree and a few years building things before that as a kid, they might have been making web stuff for 50% of the time anyone in the industry has been working in it.

"Time served" as a measure of experience doesn't really work in an industry that's as new as the web, nor does it work in an industry where the barrier to making a website is knowing how to open Notepad.exe.

Really good people could definitely make senior level by the time they've been working professionally for 2 years.

Trustees are not usually experts in data protection law, so I'd ask the trustees to be providing a lot more information. At a minimum they need to explain:

1) What law they think is being broken (and they need to actually link the specific clause)

2) Why they think G Suite is breaking it (and they need to describe that breach in terms of the law they think is being broken).

3) How much they're prepared to spend on changing from G Suite to something else, including costs of migrating data, checking it's correct after migration, re-training, and any possible software and support costs.

G Suite claims it's GDPR compliant. https://cloud.google.com/security/gdpr

Same thing, isn't it? At the end of the day the guy who can do anything you ask him to is going to do it by learning, not by knowing already.
Alcor, for example, charges what amounts to a fee to perform the preservation and a fee to go into a fund that will be invested to pay for your ongoing preservation. "Not giving your family an additional $80,000 on your death" amounts to the same thing as "taking $X from them in perpetuity", but it's psychologically different. It's all about the cost-benefit analysis, whose outcome may be different for different people; some people just don't value their lives very much and are more willing to die the true death, some people have family who are getting on just fine without the cash injection provided by their death so are more willing to spend the money on preservation, and so on.

"Not giving your family closure" is something you just have to discuss with your own family. I, for one, would treat cryopreservation as effectively death with a rather unusual body-disposal mechanism, for the purposes of grieving etc; there's certainly almost no chance I'll see a cryopreserved person again before my own first death. For a family made up of people like me, that particular argument holds no water at all.
I can't make any judgement on the specific case you're describing, but I've seen this general scenario play out a few cycles in my career.

My guess is that they overcorrect on the previous system designers mistakes, because they too have only had that one experience and this is their first time building a new one.

And the cycle repeats in another 5 years when a new group of fresh grads have to take over/rebuild the current new system.

I hate being ageist in any direction, but experience actually do take time, and only older people have been younger, never the reverse. The hard part is recognizing what is unique to a generation and what is commonality.

Or you can tell me I was wrong in 10 years.

The Data Protection Act 2018 enacts the EU GDPR requirements in UK law, which will become the UK GDPR after 31 December 2020. So, technically no, but in practice, yes.
I can't wait for the computer generated content trend to end. I understand why it's attractive to indies, because they can focus on the engine - and a game emerges from the effort on its own. But hand generated content is always superior. Turns out Shakespeare writes better stories than even a million monkeys.

There was an era of gaming where it was reasonable to think your game could become a hobby for tens of thousands of players, with all the requisite fame that comes from creating it. Spelunky opened the door here, and a lot of high profile indies like Vlambeer and Spryfox led the surge.

What I think actually happened is that so many games started coming out, that there's more content than any one player can consume. The hand generated stuff floats to the top and a new class of indies now sits the throne. Anyone distracted by procedural gen lost their spot.

For another parallel where players choose hand generated content over procedural, look to the prevalence of multiplayer where humans generate challenge for each other on the fly - versus AI baddies that can be cheesed by easily shared internet guides.

The answer is pretty obvious - use a desktop based office suite. It's very hard for smaller players to compete with web apps like Google Apps and expect similar quality. With desktop apps you have full control. I would suggest looking into OpenOffice (or LibreOffice I guess), or simply just paying for Microsoft Office. Then you can use Office365 but download the apps and store files locally (or somewhere shared).
