I think you misunderstand me , my point is think more and type less. Is not about clever one liners or languages with less verbosity but better implementations and abstractions and you can implement a good solution in a lot of languages.

An example would be where a dev needs to implement X, then he goes on Google , finds some code sample , copy-pastes it, tests it, then changes here and there to make it work. The issue is that he maybe forgot to read the documentation for the functions used in the sample, or did not think that the sample is incomplete (maybe missinfg input sanitation) or is outdated or the solution was already in the project code if he only have asked or looked around in the code.

Other example is when a dev wants to solve X, installs a package from npm that does X but does not understand it and in fact that npm package is just a few lines of code that you could have read, learn something, find limitations and improve that.
I believe there's a setting somewhere in your account to turn this on, I think by default it just hides tracks that have been removed from the service. They stay there on the playlist (I guess in theory if the track comes back onto the service it'll reappear, but in practice I've found it's often a slightly different version that doesn't get matched up).
It does seem onerous. I wonder if, "so, we will email SongShift directly" etc., would do.

I guess the law doesn't say "for free" ? So perhaps they could charge a fee for each API use...

It otherwise seems unreasonable to require data-holders (/"controllers") to pay the costs of this "direct transfer", esp. re building and maintaining an API.

They have in their possession an object which the user owns -- their data -- would we, in analogous cases, require stores to do anything other than "hand it back" ?

This seems quite an odd law.

EDIT: given downvotes, let me clarify: I like the law. It is useful. I just want to understand the moral/legal/economic logic.

This law imposes costs somewhere, and prevents some services being offered.

One could argue that spending a lot of money on a hyper advanced anything would lead to a bunch of cool technologies, even if the primary objective yielded no results. Why spend many billions of euros on something speculative when one could spend the money on something much more likely to produce both primary and secondary benefits?
GDPR states “For data to be truly anonymised, the anonymisation must be irreversible”. So dropping 3 digits is clearly not enough to anonymize PII, it’s more pseudonymization.

2. Sheet aluminum is readily available worldwide. Used litho plates are some of the cheapest source of large sheet aluminum but those are far from the only source. Any industrial metal supplier will be able to supply this part, but the price per sheet is likely to be higher than $30.
Another possibility is not to keep the books just in the Kindle/Kindle app and to regularly download them to your computer and back them up. The DRM can be stripped too.
I don't agree with his alarmism and think it was stupid to send it, but why would it be regulated?

I think this is very different from Facebook or Twitter skew feeds in favour of some political cause.

First of all they are essentially public utilities, they shouldn't regulate speech as long as it's legal.

Secondly they do it without people's knowledge. David Barret's embarrassing email is completely honest and open.

It was inevitable. Higher education has become an escalator for the wealthy. The value of the advanced degree has lost the shine it once had.

Education as a whole is due for a massive realignment. Courses can largely be taught online and at a fraction of the cost. Fitting butts into expensive seats and selling pricey books that are constantly re-written is not sustainable.
Behold the Almighty Code Completion You’ve Been Searching
Yeah, but the "legitimate interest" implies that the processing is necessary (because it override your consent). In which context and what kind of analytics is really necessary ? Analysis of the incoming channels ? Understanding if there are some technical problems ? Comparing engagement from different marketing solutions ?

I'm working on that market and find that interpretation is quite difficult as soon as you have multiple actors around the table. Example: because recommendations from DPAs are not exactly the same, then you may have different requirements of the same company from different country legal department within the UE.

They are similar in that there are two different stories that are related but don't really converge until the end, and that a primitive alien culture is explored in one of them and an advanced human[0] one in the other. They differ primarily in that Fire has a hand-wavy way of allowing for impossible technology like FTL.

Personally, I think Deepness is the better work, but Fire is pretty good too. If you read Deepness first then, because it was written second, at least one character may seem a little off for reasons that will become obvious.

[0] The characters we follow the most are human anyway.
The 60s called, they want their turntable back
This is delightful. It would be nice though if you could play a full scale/octave of notes on the keyboard and marimba.

Right now you can only play the first 10 notes (semitones) of the chromatic scale so it makes it a little unusable musically.

It would be awesome and playable if it was:

- All 12 semitones plus octave (13 notes total)

or if limited space for buttons is an issue

- 7 notes of a major scale plus octave (8 notes total)
You mean it's far more usable for a lot of tasks?

I am not sure how can he send this email as company CEO. You can have your personal opinion and can share them from your personal email address/social networking site. But expressing his political opinion from official email/business is plain wrong.

I think this company is going to be in lot of trouble for forcing thier view on all of their customers and dropping emails to their offical mailboxes

Am I missing something?!

> This kind of thing is uncommon in Github world, but very common in Microsoft/Azure world.

What exclusive materials or advantages do Microsoft "Partner" companies have thesedays? MS is very good at making available their documentation, and almost all of their modern stuff (.NET Core, etc) is developed openly on GitHub.

But other companies that aren't as engineering-driven like SAP, Oracle, yeah - I can see them doing that.

The only advantage I can think of is one of cross-promotion or referrals from Microsoft's own consulting division. (I'll admit I have no idea who MS's Consulting customers are - I thought everyone went with Accenture, IBM, Capita or Atos).

How are you ever unwinding if you do work around the clock? For me I'm quickly feeling stress symptoms if I start to do work tasks after hours. I have a family too, so in theory it would be great for me too to do family stuff in the middle of the day and then return to work in the evening. But in practice if I do that, work will soon intrude my dreams, my mood worsens and I have less energy.

I think the article might be reading too much into it

Is Plausible actually tracking users? I mean actually allowing you to get a user's history (or IPaddr history) on your website across multiple days? (or a subset of this?)

If it does, then yes, it is not compliant without the user agreeing. If it doesn't, then no.
In those United States, you would be right to think so. Yes, there are other chat apps. A flood? No. A (cess)pool, maybe.

Outside of WhatsApp (2 Billion Monthly Active Users), Messenger (1.4 Billion MAU) and WeChat (1.2 Billion MAU) the others stand little chance of building and benefiting from being a platform.

Setting aside WeChat and China, if you now look at the next billion users who are going to be using the internet for the first time, WhatsApp is the lens through which they see the internet - they communicate, consume news and entertainment, buy and sell things, get medical advice, even fall in love via WhatsApp.

In India, where a significant portion of that #nextbillion are gonna come from, Messenger has ~100M users and WhatsApp has ~500M MAU. Similar multiples play out in "WhatsApp first" markets like Latin America, most parts of Asia.

Case in Point: Even though it had nothing to do with our business, we recently helped hack together a solution to conduct two, 20-question, exams for 100K students in an Indian State. Simply because every family had WhatsApp (and nothing else). Messenger simply doesn't have the reach in the emerging world.
I was under the impression that they did not store IP addresses, though I could be incorrect.

Their docs suggest as much https://docs.plausible.io/excluding/

"Most web analytics tools do this by excluding certain IP addresses from being counted. However, we do not store the visitors’ IP addresses in our database for privacy reasons"
It's also probably a legitimate interest to retain data for marketing and analytics purposes, so long as that retention meets the same sort of guidelines. Marketing is explicitly highlighted as one of the applicable uses for legitimate interest.

Why would it be more secure to store sensitive data in a character array rather than a string?
It's not, and doesn't work. Firstly, it'll just get turned into something else (by spending/buying with it) that holds value and is sought after/tradable/fungible - Eg. Alcohol, gold, drugs, x_equiptment. Plus, if the money deletes after say 30 days it's worth less on day 29 than day 1. If it doesn't disappear after the transaction, it'll just be funneled through business for the 2nd tier 'money' described prev.
There is a discrepancy between what’s hip, and what’s actually used. On places like HN where everyone is in love with Ruby... errr... Go.... errrr I mean, Rust, you’d think that those languages are the what’s what.

Then when you look at the job market, you get a very different picture of what actually gets used. In my country there hasn’t been a single job posting for all Rust in all of 2020. There’s been a single mention of Go as a “nice to know” PHD job at Google Denmark and there is just a single company who has had openings for Ruby. Hell even with everyone’s favourite Python, almost every job involving it is in DataScience and needs you to be a mathematician first, analyst of some kind second and a programmer third. There are a few django jobs, and good for those guys, but in general, even python doesn’t see that much general usage.

The vast overwhelming amount of jobs that’s been listed in 2020 in Denmark have been for C#, PHP and JavaScript, with JAVA still hanging in there somewhat, though typically bundled with whatever they call JBOSS these days.

So unless you’re smack in the centre of Silicon Valley, I probably wouldn’t worry too much about the hate PHP gets.

I'm not sure we're improving anything when we discover some public good is flawed, mediocre, or maybe even a little corrupt and respond by tearing it down and replacing it with nothing.

I think we've done enough of that. At this point I'm really only interested in positive proposals, what new stuff can we do? If we have a wave of new successes any old failures will fade out on their own.
Yeah, no native tools ever get written in different languages and frameworks. Or is it only not acceptable when Front End developers do it?

Personally I've never known anyone do this for any other reason but educational reasons. When I wanted to learn React, I copied other websites in React. I do similar things when I'm learning Golang, or C, or any other language I'm interested in.

There's plenty of people who eat and drink (mostly drink, usually from cans) outside once every week or two in nearly zero (freedom degrees) temperatures. Often they also light a pile of pallets (and maybe even a fiberglass boat if the wind is right) on fire for warmth.

It just so happens that people inclined to do these things have mostly all been driven out of major urban areas where the restaurants are and if they weren't they would mostly still not go downtown for overpriced beer.
Look, there was a gold-pegged currency without any digital equivalent, all in the form of untraceable cash. It was, for instance, the US dollar as late as 50 years ago. Back in 1950s people in the US were economically secure at currently unbelievable levels. Or, say, 100-120 years ago the US experienced colossal economic growth, while levels of inequality were lower than today's.

I would rather posit that central banks doing monetary policy tricks with fiat money are increasing inequality and give rise to crazy and detrimental financial schemes.

I agree about the big guns, though.
It's impossible to hook into Python's string interpolation system to the degree required for the first to work. JS and Julia can do it, e.g. in JS (with typescript annotations) it'd just be a matter of defining

function Q(stringBits: string[]): Query {
for (bit in stringBits) {
if (bit is string) {
add to sql
} else if (bit is Query) {
add bit to dependencies
add bit.name to sql
}
}
}

But this cannot be done currently in Python (see PEP-501), so I'm forcing the user to pass a lambda, which I can get the AST of, with which I can implement the machinery to do the above.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome!
Many, many more people work at things other people think are silly and insignificant only to discover that thing is silly and insignificant and then they give up. Occasionally the opposite happens and the person succeeds. If you only look at the successes it probably looks like a willingness to be low-status is a marker for success, but it really isn't. It tells you nothing of the future outcome. The only thing it predicts is a lack of understanding of survivorship bias.

I've used EBEEBE before and it's a gorgeous tuning, using for the song 'Gold' from the film/musical Once. Also the variation EADGBF# is super interesting with open cords, though you do have to be very careful with tuning the top E string that high, easy to snap if you're not careful.
True. There's one thing that concerns me. Google Analytics is just not the solution because we don't get data ownership. Then, these privacy analytics are coming. First, Fathom then some copies. But, all claims "No consent needed. Track your users without letting them know".

It's not how it should be. Analytics solutions should have built-in options to allow users to opt-out (precisely, an embeddable in-built opt-out banner).

Personally, I don't like tracking my activities. I use tracker blockers to prevent that. Yet, these solutions are promotion custom domains (CNAME cloaking), which even Google Analytics does.

When will have the option to fully opt-out from tracking?

If a Chrome or Firefox dev reading this comment, what about introducing a tracking allowance API and allow users to opt-in and opt-out for tracking in the browser level. A really privacy-first analytics solution would be one that respects user's browser tracking settings.

It's my opinion.
Which technological improvements?
Just FYI, tracking is so much more advanced than just cookies. Using IDCAC means you consent to them using any method of tracking you.

When you realize it's silly, take another minute to think about why it's silly.

The author's point is about developing a skill, not about creating a specific piece of work.

Even if it were about creating a specific item, there may be 100 pages that the author wrote but didn't publish. The point wasn't to share all of one's work, but to do a substantial amount of work and also to share work that can garner good feedback.

Being prolific isn't the same thing as doing a lot of repetitions. "Prolific" refers to a quantity of creative works. The weightlifting and musician examples aren't apt, any more than saying "don't be a prolific author because there's a high risk you'll slouch in your computer chair when you're doing all that writing." Ergonomics are orthogonal to exercising one's creativity.
