The legal argument appears to be:

1. There have been breaches of data protection law (GDPR as implemented in the Data Protection Act 2018), e.g. players did not consent to data transfer, the data isn't accurate, etc. and it's done on a commercial basis.

2. These breaches were injurious to the economic prospects of the affected players and therefore damages should be awarded.

I would imagine that the cause of action will be the tort of negligence against whoever sold the data on, and/or the gaming, betting, and data-processing companies. This is because they arguably had a duty of care to the players, the duty was breached, and the players suffered some harm -- based solely on the facts in this article.

Regarding personal compilation of statistics, that's fine - there's an exemption for activities of a purely personal nature in the GDPR - which is why you wouldn't get caught, but commercial exploitation of the data falls outside of that.
I would expect the sad answer is that these outcomes were common enough to warrant an entry in the list.
Depends. SpaceX pretty much owns the global launch market, and has out built and out innovated every other country's aerospace companies.

Speaking of Musk, Tesla is now worth more than most automakers, is on a tear, and most likely will be outproducing everyone at making batteries.

I don't think this is purely an 'access to labor' problem. It's a problem of vision and risk tolerance. Musk is willing to try new approaches, even if they fail (eg trying to make a 3D almost 100% tesla factory before having to retreat to using humans)

Silicon Fabs are one of the first industries to be almost 100% automated. So clearly the issue isn't access to labor, but for Intel, it's more like they made a bad bet, and didn't "fail fast", they've been doubling down on bad bets and not willing to be more dynamic.

When you look at Aerospace: SpaceX, Sierra Nevada, Rocket Lab, Relativity Space, it's clear, small focus teams can pull off amazing things, even in high-capex high-risk high-regulatory industries.

The failure of GE and owners is due to bean counters being put in charge instead of missionaries. Take GE's Nuclear division, why are they still putting money into BWRs & PWRs? Decades went by, they are not dropping any money on pebble beds, molten salt, thorium, etc. And why wait for MIT's SPARC to limp along? If they had an Elon Musk figure, he would have put them on a race to build a prototype, even if it failed, in a year, not 5 years.

Monopolies, and access to cost+ government contracts I think have killed a lot of innovation.

And if the big 3 automakers want to compete with Tesla, they need to replace their management with hardcore EV geeks who have passion and LOVE the space, and give them the resources to spin up a new division with all new people and processes. Otherwise, they're going to shamble along, and continue to try and milk their existing business lines until they die.

This is a management problem, not a labor problem. You can't solve this problem by shoveling more STEMs straight outta college onto it. There's a tendency to think China's massive stem graduation firehose will magically mean leadership, but that's million man-month thinking. It's not simply about access to labor that's the problem. Companies with 100 employees outcompete companies with tens of thousands all the time (take WhatsApp vs my employer, Google, in the messaging space)
Cold fusion is mortal nonsense. That is, it's so unlikely you could safely bet your life on it being bogus.
Could someone point to C-like Java code real-world example? It would be awesome to see how the things are managed at a GC platform with most things on the heap.
That might work on a desk or table. It's not lappable.
Actually - the more I think about the question the more I realise that I don’t want an iPad to do laptop tasks - as a designer I want the interface connection that comes from Pencil + touch interface on my MacBook Pro...

Whilst stock trading enables you to bet on the price/performance of a company, forex trading enables you to bet on the price/performance of a country/currency.

You bet, however, not on a single currency but on a currency pair so you are really betting on how one currency will perform against another currency.
Traders, listen up UpBots Is Launching a $25,000 Competition on KuCoin
can you recommend a good oscilloscope app?
made me chuckle.
A few things. Java had been heavily used in finance for longer than .NET, so there's experience, and lots of existing code. Java's GC is faster (even if it's not being used in the context of HFT). But probably the most important thing is that .NET on Linux is very new (banks are very conservative, small companies, not so much).

.NET on Windows for HFT is a non-starter. In comparison to Linux, you have practically zero control over the OS; you need to turn off unnecessary processes, pin processes to cores, exclude processes from cores and so on.

Having said all that, I do know of at least one hedge fund in London that is mostly C#-based (though I have no idea whether their 'deep' trading code is C# though).
Totally agree. The time it all went wrong for me, the whole thing was a bad idea from the start. Something terrible had just happened in my friend's family, and we weren't going into it responsibly, and/or to have a fun experience - we just wanted to get fucked up, and took waaaay too much. Right before things went bad, we had an argument, and I ended up alone for a long time.

For anyone that's going to use mushrooms, LSD or any other hallucigen, I'd strongly recommend having a trip-sitter. This is someone who stays with you, remaining sober throughout proceedings), and can help guide the trip, and get you back on track if they start going wrong. Oh, and of course I'd recommend considering your tolerance level, and only taking a sensible amount.
Yes that’s fair. We know things that are within the model (i.e. math). Some models are very useful, after all.
>actively trying

He can try, but he won't succeed.
Also note that "upgrading a dependency" is a relatively rare occurrence in the sense the I understand the question. Google definitely uses third party code but it is outstanding how much is proprietary Google owned and authored. For this code you don't release new versions and update, instead you evolve APIs gradually (as the other commenters have explained).

For third party dependencies there are two main options.

1. Do it all at once. This is good for relatively small numbers of users or small API changes.

2. Introduce the new version, migrate users, then delete the old version.

Note that for third party libraries Google does maintain a fairly strict one version policy so 2 is always a temporary measure.

You can at least see a difference from casually downloading pirated Cadence soft from Chinese FTPs =D.

But saying this, you think would anybody there decide to pay $1M just to order few hundred Cadence licenses (and this is on the low end,) when they can not to with zero consequences?

This is more than the total capital of most semiconductor companies there.

I'd say people doing that have different aims. They "grew out" of pirated Cadence, and now want more serious tools like ones custom made Cadence makes for top tier clients like Intel, Apple, NVidia, and AMD.
I think it's the resale factor that alot of people seem to be missing, The data used would appear in scouting databases that are traded and sold, this could have a rather large impact on your career trajectory behind the scenes.
Thats before you factor in the videogame market. While i understand this is just about getting more money I would find it weird if the number of points I achieved every sprint was tracked and shared but hey I guess thats just the industry.
That would be pretty wild. Close to a merger even. Atlassian is growing steadily and their market cap has risen like so many others. Unless a huge recession And reset occurs, Salesforce, a ~$200B company would have to put down possibly $75B to get Atlassian. $225B is only 3x $75B.
But my question is: if you must attach a keyboard, aren’t you better off with a laptop? And if you don’t use a keyboard, is anyone really doing any meaningful coding on an ipad with touch only? And if so I’d be curious why?
I guess the opposite behavior would be more intuitive. If you drag the interior of the node, it moves. To add a new arrow you drag from the immediate outside of the node.

Besides, in tikz I draw 3D commutative diagrams whose arrows pass in front/behind of each other. It is rather annoying to write the code for that, and it would be nice to do that somewhat automatically. Does quiver support this? For example, to draw a 3D cube.

EDIT: more comments: there are some important missing arrowhead styles. For example, if there are bijections in your diagram, it is common to use a single bidirectional arrow with two arrohweads.

No, not exactly.

"Html for common folk" is just a particular instance of "programming for common folk". There isn't one solution for it, there should be many different solutions.

It's been a long time we want to make programming simple. And we've tried a bazilion solutions already: easier languages (e.g.: Basic), specific purpose languages (e.g.: Cobol, R, Logo), visual programming (e.g: LabView, Scratch, Lego Mindstorms), dozens of IDE's and CASE systems, programming courses for everyone, specific purpose tools (Access, Excel), etc...

So far, the one solution that I've seem coming close to success is teaching Python to kids in schools. That might be the best approach: make a simpler solution for a simpler problem and make education a little smarter.

Now, regarding grown-ups, just forget them. They're a lost cause, like teaching new tricks to an old dog. In general, grown-ups are allergic to learning, they think they know everything.
I had a Windows phone and it allowed me to use a bunch of social networks in the same feed, without needing specific apps. I could open a contact and see their latest posts without needing to go to a specific app. That was pretty great and I miss it. Every app being a locked down island of its own is pretty sad.

Yes, but not because software engineers are worse human beings than civil engineers, which is all too often the undertone of these discussions.

Rather, because software engineering hasn't killed enough people to advance; or when it has, it wasn't obviously the culprit.

In which fields of software engineering do we find actual solid procedures and standards? Avionics. Medical hardware. Fields where the link between bug and death is as short as possible, and so the stakeholders have demanded solid engineering.

What are the consequences of GP's acquaintance writing poor code? Some trading firm becomes slightly less efficient at trading. Impossible to evaluate the net human loss from it (if it's a loss at all).

The civil engineering equivalent would be something like façade design or layout. If your building is ugly or confusing, it will annoy or waste the time of the people who live and work in it, but as long as it doesn't fall on their heads nobody is going to withdraw your certification.
I just tried loading the demo of Friendly Captcha in 8 browser windows, and click the verify button, refresh the window and on repeat for about 3 minutes. Not once did it tell me that I'm a robot so seems your alternative fails the most basic of captcha functionality, limiting people/machines to spam functionality that the website owner wants to be limited.

Maybe not everyone but a lot of people use captcha services to prevent automation from being used to extract/insert data. I know as a developer that there is always a chance of bypassing this, even with Google's reCaptcha, but your service seems to make this trivial, so many won't even go beyond your demo.
Dreamweaver was quite ok, actually. The issue was that it was limited, and it wasn't a good fit for every kind of website.

Want to write documentation, or a personal website full of text and pictures? Maybe a simple text site for your restaurant or small business without much fluff? Then it's alright.

Want to do a professional-looking site that looks like the ones you pay money for? Maybe look for something else, or at the very least start with a handcrafted template, instead of "faking it" with sliced images and javascript hover.

The reaction against Dreamweaver was IMO understandable because there were definitely some people in the industry who were convinced that Dreamweaver was enough for anything.
Fun fact: I believe Berkshire Hathaway's website is a frontpage site from back in the day. I kind of imagine an old pentium multimedia PC that a secretary boots once per quarter to update it. It's much better than most holding companies' sites.

Anyway... I feel like this article answers its own question at the start...

"many corporations such as the Dow Jones, Bloomberg, Apple, etc. were sinking millions into building their own, completely incompatible dial-in Internet services."

"They" eventually succeeded, by using the www as a platform 10 years later rather than outcompeting it in 1995. Frontpage, Dreamweaver and such are tools. The internet-era equivalents (youtube, FB, IG, etc.) aren't tools. FB is a "platform." More comparable to the WWW itself than to frontpage. You don't need tools to post on FB, so no frontpage.

In the abstract, a FB-like platform does a similar job to a Frontpage-like tool. Publish stuff online. The FB-like platform is a 1000X better business proposition. A FB doesn't have to charge. It can attract users with access to other users. No hosting/files/responsibility. Advertising is worth more than software licenses, etc.

So the real question is "why did the www not succeed competitively against FB/Youtube/Etc?" Why don't we do what we do online via www and other open standards/protocols instead of through platforms like FB?

OTOH, the WWW obviously did succeed. We all use it every day, but with a third party platform like FB between us and other people. I also think it's remarkable that the www exists at all. No one owns it. It's not property, doesn't have a share price... Quite unusual.

Tim Berners Lee is highly regarded. Zuck is one of the most powerful and wealthy people on earth. He made many other people very wealthy. Tim too, but more indirectly. It's remarkable that a Tim can ever beat a Zuck. ... But history proves they can.
For the vast majority of registrars you would find it hard to find one that do not offer DNS. For defunct registrars it does get more tricky but you can have better security than what is provided here. Have the customer first create an account and link the domain to the account and then change NS rather than the other way around. This solves the issue of people discovering domains that point to DO but has no linked account.

Defunct registrars is a interesting problem. If they don't have functional name servers then it is also very likely that they don't have a functional portal and customer support in order to change the NS records. Defunct registrars are thus a pretty manual problem, so sacrificing security for easier process seems like a bad deal.

A best practice should make the common case easy but secure, and the uncommon case secure and possible.
Naomi Wu's 3DPrintMill CR-30 Now Live on Kickstarter
I think reliability is, after a certain point, inverse proportional to the amount of code involved. So I'd disagree that we'll have even larger webpages then - the same way that in modern construction, heavy and thick stone & brick pillars have been replaced with comparatively light and strong steel-reinforced concrete. Maybe the equivalent would be just enough strongly typed code running on top of just enough, well tested & secure WASM?
Become More Confident as a Developer
Maybe of HTML but certainly not of content in general. People post Instagrams, TikToks, Tweets, Youtube videos, Unity Games, etc... I'd argue content creation is up, way up. It's possible just not content that personally interests you (or me)
You missed one comparison: C infra (no C++).

I found Wii U a bit of a pain tbh, it was easy but everything was always slightly clunky in a way I was never fully confident with. Kinda regretted upgrading from the outright simplicity of the Wii.
Gamecube games on the gamepad was about as close to a mindblowing moment in emulation that I've had since I got a PSP in 2006 that played PS1 games as well as my (admittedly terrible) PC.

and it was nowhere near as bad as the PS3 though, found CFW on that an absolute misery to the point it was probably a net negative for me ever doing it. Still pull it out for some 3D projector stuff occasionally but... man, so much hassle.
Show HN: StartupCrowns – startup community tracker, leaderboard and reporting
Some western countries are approaching thresholds like 45% for specialist income. For example in the UK after recent changes to IR35, an engineer will likely have to pay about 54% of tax assuming he or she gets paid market rates and the client will declare them to be deemed employees to be safe.
If China could match western rates, but added tax exemptions on top, plus located the sites somewhere warm with good amenities, they could attract good people without even trying much.

I recall listening to a recent interview with
Chris Lattner who said the more languages you learn the faster it is to pick up others because of the overlaps.

Working in other languages, the idea of references and values didn't kick in to me, that is until I learned basic C++. I think it's because C++ engineers (well, the ones I would watch anyway) were sticklers for performance and so they'd describe the subtle differences in implementation. Even though I don't code C++ anymore, using it for a short time really helped to develop a better understanding of how code actually works.
Ex-Frontpage user, the CSS purists of the time (well, the high and mighty ones) would definitely groan at the mention of it.

One nice feature of it, "Frontpage Includes", Googlebot had no problem crawling and indexing them, it was effectively like client side SSIs.
Having worked in the EDA industry, I can quite believe it, it's stagnant and not capable of paying SV money for much rarer skills. But ..

That forum thread is a cesspool of toxicity. The original tweet is a better link: https://mobile.twitter.com/KhaosT/status/1328936063990190085
I remember reading about bad software in a radiotherapy machine inducing many deaths. And also about software in Toyota cars failing and also inducing deaths because the code was a huge mess. In the end, there is no such thing as a clear separation between "engineer" and "developers".
>Apple wanted a product that provides users with a mobile display--that's all iPads really are.

Or that they can interface with primarily with touch/a pencil. The iPad arguably started out as you described (plus some gaming). But it definitely can be used by creatives who don't primarily input using a keyboard. (And I know writers who use iPads on the go; I've never been able to make it work for me that way.)
Sure, but in a healthy upbringing, it only takes 1 panic attack for a normal person to realize "oook, something's not right". Messed up people think "I'm being weak".
What about people with HPPD? There are definitely people who have long lasting effects of these drugs. Negative and positive. I have depersonalisation/derealization and anxeity disorder after a bad LSD experience. Would it have been triggered without it? Maybe. But what I do know is that shortly after that experience these problems began. I think this overly positive reporting is harmful. I too used to think that drugs aren't that bad and it's all just propaganda but drugs do mess with your mind and if you value your mental health you should stay away from anything harder than alcohol imo.
Windows Forms (AFAIK) are not designed to handle multitude of screen formats. HTML/CSS is.

I didn't read the article, so feel free to downvote me for talking over the author...

A "modern Frontpage" may help, but these days it seems:

- creators (including your mum on Facebook) don't want to worry about design, only content

- creators want to see feedback from the widest range of people possible as soon as possible, so it feels like conversation

- consumers (who are the same people) want to see updates from all their friends, family and the brands they follow right there alongside one another and the feedback to their own stuff

So to "reclaim the web" you ALSO need a decentralised commenting system that doesn't require any investment on the part of the user. We have ActivityPub and WebMentions now, but they all require accounts, hosting and management... and they don't come with original content creation.

If you put every creator in their own silo (under their own domain name, say), they won't feel so connected, unless that domain also provides near-instant access to the feeds from all their contacts. Facebook and Insta give you a feed of your whole village plus the folks from the village over that you like, instantly. I'm sure the IndieWeb crew do feel connected, but how much effort have they all made to join that party? LOADS, compared with your mum on Facebook.

So sure, modern Frontpage, but also easy RSS/Atom + WebMentions + ActivityPub (or equivalent).

Personally, I really like Scuttlebutt for this. It has all this stuff, and is offline-first, and will work with interplanetary travel, and you can build calendars and events and stuff on top of it. But it's yet another protocol (and a complex one at that), and getting into the network is a big hurdle still.
No need to know where this person is deploying this, if you want to avoid people doing stupid shit with safety critical systems you should just avoid going outside. Actually, avoid leaving the bed, as everything software in this day and age is basically just duct tape and cable ties put together in a rush to hit deadlines.
It’s used because it’s a consistent workload to ensure a fair comparison, and long enough to make sure the performance seen is not just burst. Someone who plays games, edits smaller videos or photos all day, uses heavy web apps, compiles code, etc., can apply the result of a large video render to their purchase decision even though their work doesn’t aggressively use the battery as fast as possible.

Hopefully that helps. In your original example, you cited someone editing FHD doing fine with a five year old laptop, and now we’ve talked about why larger formats are used, and why someone upgrading a laptop would look at a benchmark of an intensive process, even if they themself don’t plan to run that specific process.
